Humor and action are always neck and neck in this show, and some things are very unexpected. This is good to keep you on the edge of your seat and continue watching.

But humor and action aren't the only things in this show that make it good. Deep emotion is expressed as well, what with InuYasha and Kikyo's love affair from 50 years ago. And how Kagome constantly battles her own emotions for InuYasha and how she feels with Kikyo nagging her brain. And every once in a while they'll come across someone like the guy from The Toad Who Would Be Prince who is in love with someone else that they half to help. A similar situation ties in with the Naginata of Kenkon story.

All in all, InuYasha is my favorite anime and the only one I never miss.

Overall the presentation of the series wasn't all that great. Come on now, 167 episodes and it STILL doesn't end. It was bad enough that it was 167 episodes. Not to mention that half of those episodes were fillers. It was horrible. I couldn't stand watching them, especially the ones about Shippo. He was the most annoying of all. The morals and values, though, were clearly stated so I wasn't confused at all, one point for this series. The humor really didn't get old for me because I enjoyed seeing Miroku get smacked or Inuyasha being told to sit. It was enjoyable because they still managed to find unique ways to pull it off.Hats off to the writer(s). Another point to the anime...oh my god that makes 2.

I adore any anime series that has the capability to use more than one genre. In fact, I'm often bored when a series is only 'action' or 'romance'... you name it. But Inuyasha has so many genres underneath the general action/fantasy/romance category that it falls under, and I believe that that is why it has such a large audience. Like romance? Inuyasha's got it. Like action? Inuyasha's got it. Like comedy? Inuyasha's got it. As far as genres go, it has nearly everything - right down to tragedy and suspense.
