So anyway, I'm running drastically out of Anime to watch in my household. And with my internet connection, piracy just isn't an option for me.

So being desperate and not wanting to resort to Air Gear, I decided to resort to Inuyasha (I mentioned desperate, right?)

So anyway, I'm about fourteen episodes into the series now, and really, after the fourteen episodes, I think I know what the hell is going on! There's "catching up" for late joiners and there's "reliving the entire previous two episodes and call-backs to ones further back". Seriously, if someone joins this late in the series, they need to acquire copies of earlier episodes and catch-the-hell-up.

And it gets worse than ten minute synopses. Mid-way though an episode, the protagonists will suddenly jump back to "I remember how I first came about to this place. It's all because my family has done something or other, and we live in this slightly abnormal place for most people my age. Because of this, I accidentally performed an action which, over a period of time I'll probably relate to you in following sentences, lead me to be in my current predicament. Now as I was saying, that period of time contained things such as this and other things such as that. It's good to get all this off my chest, because it builds up and really start to feel sad... Oh! That's right, we were in the middle of an action scene, silly me!"

Come on! I know! I watched it just before. Hell, the kids on PayTV know, and they watched it anywhere between a day, a week and a month ago. It's kinda hard to forget, you told us LAST TIME.

It better not keep on doing this for the entire forty-something DVDs. Or else the episodes will eventually just become those annoying catch-up episodes they have mid-way through longer running anime series (Gundam Wing, anyone?).

On another note, the series isn't that bad. I can understand how it's considered Dragon Ball Z, for Girls (language warning on that comic, don't click if your mummy gets mad at swearing), but meh, I used to watch Sailor Moon before school, I've seen a fair bit of Card Captor Sakura, and I currently own (well, my brother owns, I only own two DVDs) most of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.
