Review of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon

POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS!! Yashahime was a HUGE disappointment for me. I don't understand why the characters behave the way they do, many Inuyasha characters have been replaced with other hollow ones (like Takechiyo replaced Shippo -I mean, come on! They even use the same powers-) and the "bad" guys are just a joke, you can't even take them seriously. I just can't accept the storyline (which, in my opinion, makes no sense AT ALL) and the fact that the characters we've grown so fond of feel so foreign, especially Sesshomaru acting so coldly towards Rin and his daughters without explaining the reason (don't get mestarted with what happened to Inuyasha and Kagome -they simply took them out of the way-). Many things that happened throughout the season remain unanswered and there are characters, such as Riku or Kirinmaru, whose intentions and goals are hard to understand.
All in all, there are many copies and borrowings from Inuyasha (story, characters) and many things going on that let me down. I was too disappointed in the 1st season and the way the characters acted. Honestly, I was sad to discover that Inuyasha received such a sequel. :'( I'm just gonna pretend that Yashahime never happened and stick to the old, glorious characters and story!
