Revisiting Inuyasha

I first started watching Inuyasha back when I started middle school, something like ten years ago. It was the second anime I had ever watched and it's what inspired me to first start drawing anime. Then, when I started highschool, I gradually lost interest in it(I can't remember why) and I never finished the series.

But recently, I started reading some really good fanfiction(which is incredibly hard to find) and decided to give the series another shot. And I discovered some things that I had not realized in my youth.

The English dialog sucks. Badly. There are so many embarrassing cliches in it that it makes me want to rip my hair out. Can't they be a little more imaginative? In cases like these, I would usual switch to the Japanese version, but I just can't stand their Japanese voices. They just sound so wrong to me, since I grew up hearing the English dub. Especially Sesshoumaru's voice.

This brings us to another little discrepancy from my childhood memories, in that the voice acting is not all that great. Alot of parts just don't sound natural, like you can tell they're just actors in a studio reading off a script. (with the exception of Sesshoumaru, since David Kaye's voice is so smexy) But maybe I'm just nitpicking, idk.

Also, the animation sucks. But that's excusable i guess since the original anime is kinda old. From what I've seen in amvs the new season has great animation.

I really wanna watch the new season, but I heard david kaye won't be playing sesshoumaru, which makes me sad(haha, I am so obsessed) I have no idea if they've dubbed it yet or not, I don't wanna watch it in Japanese. I guess I'll look into that later.

So yeah, watching it again kinda ruined my childhood memories, but I still love Inuyasha. And I will watch that last season, which seems to have so much hot Sesshie action in it.
