Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

filmfan1991 Like a lot of anime, if it gets popular it gets translated to the big screen for the die hard and casual fans of the series. "Inuyasha: Affections Touching Across Time" is no exception because of the anime's cult status popularity worldwide.200 years ago a Chinese moth yokai named Hyoga invaded Japan but Inuyasha's father battled Hyoga and defeated him sealing him away in a magical prison known as the Tree of Ages. Years later when the Shikon no Tama(Jewel of Four Souls) shatters, a fragment finds its way into a tree and frees Hyoga's son Menōmaru who wishes to take vengeance for his father against Inuyasha and become the next Lord Hyoga.The story is like a stand alone Inuyasha episode only its longer and has a better budget and animation which mixes CG with traditional animation. Only the CG hasn't aged well and clashes with the regular animation very badly which thankfully happens in very few places so it isn't that distracting. Everything that fans of the series including myself love is all here. The humor, the romance, the epic action is all here. The movie also touches upon the relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome in a couple of very touching scenes with great animation and emotional music. The film comes with either the original Japanese dub or the English dub. It doesn't matter either or since both are very good although the English version has sometimes bad voice acting especially near the end where the main villain sounds really bad in his final form.Its a good "Inuyasha" flick and its worth your time especially if you are a fan of the series.

k_alby Now i know the main flaw of this movie to some is the fact that is very similar of the series, some may call it a "very long episode". Well, while the plot doesn't differ from the series, you get the chance to explore the relationships between the characters a lot deeper than you're allowed to in the series. The story is similar to the main plot, Naraku's still alive and matters not in this movie. But you get to see a lot of stir between Inuyasha, Kagome and Kikyo, and the animation is much better then the series of course, the sightings are beautiful and some of the scenes really touching. Yes, it may merely appear as a long episode, so those who aren't fan of the series may not appreciate it that much, but all in all (fan as I am) the movie stands on its own, and I truly recommend it to Inuyasha fans and those who simply enjoy a good anime film.

Sparrow_in_flight While I don't quite agree with the reviewer who said this is better than the TV show, this is definitely one of my favorite movies (and I just bought it yesterday).For those unfamiliar with the show, the movie provides basic introductions and some facts needed about the main characters. For a better synopsis, though, either check out the "Special Footage" section of the DVD (which can seem disjointed) or find an online episode guide (TV Tome is helpful).Inuyasha: Affections Touching Across Time (US Title) definitely has some moments that truly stand out (not saying the rest of the movie is bad, but these moments are exceptionally memorable.) For instance, the meeting of Kagome and Kikyo after Kagome is forced to shoot Inuyasha with an arrow, leaving him slumped against the God Tree...with both girls in miko clothing, it is eerie to see....especially Kikyo's words to Kagome: "You truly are my reincarnation"...And let's not forget the meeting of Kikyo and Sesshomaru! Short, yes, but definitely a memorable moment, in my mind.Overall, InuYasha, Affections Touching Across Time is a great movie that does the TV show and manga proud.

eektc This movie is great from the start to the finish. But I must warn that it is not for everyone. Fan of the series will definitely love it. But for those who haven't seen the series, I would suggest you watch the series, and if you do not like the series, then definitely don't watch the movie! It's just a long episode really.The story strays away from the Naraku saga and creates a whole new evil character Hyouga. Inuyasha's father defeated Hyouga's father many years ago. Now Hyouga wants to take revenge on Inuyasha by killing him and all his friends. That's about all of the story I can give away without ruining the movie. But the story involves ALL characters!! Well, the main ones at least.If you were moved by the intense Naraku, Kikyo saga, then you will be moved by this adventure as well. Also, the animation is alot better and the drawings are sort of different. But action sequences are done very well.Overall I gave this movie a 10/10.
