Review of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon

Disclosure: This is not a full review, these are just my heated thoughts (edited it a bit) after managing to finish this trainwreck of an anime: This is a disgrace. Inuyasha was one of my favorite anime series when I was a kid and I remember all the characters very dearly. This show just stomps on all the original characters to introduce a new uninspired cast that could have perfectly came straight out of an OVA or side story. The way they disregard the old characters is disgusting and sad. The plot is also a bore to watch and lacks any cohesion. The director had noidea what he was doing when he plotted this story. There are loose ends all around and none of them can be remediated with simple flashbacks as they did with Inuyasha and Kagome's (which was terribly executed).

This is one of few anime that I remember having to fast-forward some scenes to be able to get through it. I would have dropped but I was already more than halfway through and wanted to get it done with it. I won't be watching the second season though, no with these characters taking the stage.

It doesn't get a lower score because, artsyle-wise, it remains loyal to the original and the soundtrack was nostalgic, but that's about it. Also, I've seen a lot worst than this. It's just that how they destroyed one of my favorite anime just kills me inside.

They should just have let this one end as it ended with an original, glorious arc. Now, for certain, for me, Inuyasha is dead. But they have killed it.

I won't be writing a full review because I'm afraid more venom will be spilled and honestly, this anime should be forgotten, it was a mistake, and hopefully they don't try to milk it anymore.
