Title: Inu-Yasha: Affections Touching Across Time

Genre: Fantasy/Romance

Creator/Studio: Rumiko Takahashi/Sunrise

Company: Viz

DVD Info: 1 hour, 40 mins.

Summary: Inu-Yasha and company fight a monster named Menomaru, who can control insects and those bitten by his insects.

The Good: Because this is separate from the TV series, you don't need to be a fan to understand. The story's action-packed and full of everything Inu-Yasha great.

The Bad: The plot reles on a few conviences to advance itself, especially around the end.

Offensive Material: Bad language, usage of magic, mild violence, non-Christian themes (Shintoism)

Overall: This is a great way to see why this franchise has such a loyal following.

My Review: 4.0 Category: B (Borderline: Parental Guidance suggested)
