holly321beagle This movie is 100% Awesome!!! It even gets interesting the minute you start to watch it! The beginning starts out with them, trying to kill niraku. And this woman (i forget her name) then thinks shes free. Then this other woman, grants her in her kingdom. And she has to get her these items.But, i don't wanna ruin the whole movie. So make sure, you watch it! This movie contains fighting, romance,comedy, adventure and suspense. And a lil bit of nudity, (there in a hot-spring, but they don't show there whole body and stuff) Everything, you could ever want! I think its awesome. The only thing i don't like, is just its too short. They should make it longer. =D Also, this movie doesn't have an age rating. Personally, i would rate it pg 13. Just cause it says curse words, a lil bit of nudity, and violence.
Klee15 When I first saw the first movie, I was great disappointed by what I saw, especially for a series as good as Inu-Yasha. My expectations first watching Castle Beyond the Looking Glass were not as high, but I was in for a surprise. In every single way I can think of, Castle Beyond the Looking Glass is a vast improvement over Affections Touching Across Time.For the most part, the second movie's story is as stock quality as the first movie. It does however try to go into the realm of alternate universe (though it still really takes place in the canon storyline) by posing the question "What would it be like if Naraku died right now?" And, in my opinion, the interpretation is pretty good. Castle Beyond the Looking Glass does something however that really makes it just like many other Japanese animated movies by incorporating story elements from the fairy tale, Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. While it does so in a tasteful way, it kind of gave me the impression of "overused" just as the first movie's story felt. Getting past that though, the villain Kaguya is far superior to Menomaru, if only because she was less corny. So the story, which features all our favorite characters rather evenly (meaning there is something for everybody to enjoy), is actually more compelling.The animation and music is about the same level as the first movie. Actually, I say the music was better for this movie because the first movie sounded as though it ripped a lot of tracks right off the television show. In contrast, I'm pretty sure most, if not all the music used for Castle Beyond the Looking Glass, was original (using the same melodies possibly, but at least played in a different way).I thoroughly enjoyed Castle Beyond the Looking Glass much more than Affections Touching Across Time. The DVD also has some nice features that you shouldn't miss.
Tony DeCaro (Aldo-9) The movie opens with the be all end all battle between Inuyusha and the gang, and Naraku. After Naraku's apparent death, the gang more or less split up and go there seperate ways. But when Kagura (the wind demon that has those cool fans) and Kanna (the little girl with the mirror that steals souls) conspire to raise a demon who plans to stop time. Inuyasha, Kagome and all the rest must come together to stop her.Any more would be giving away things, and I don't want to do that But I'll just say this, a lot more happens than ever happend in the show, and Kagome and Inuyasha even share a kiss. This is the second movie in the series of movies and it's worth finding, though I don't doubt it will be released here in the states soon by the same company who's distributing the series.I cannot stress enough how awesome this movie is, easily bests any american action movie made in the last ten years.Oh yeah, I'm also obsessed with Anime, so my review is a little biased
eternal_chibi You could say that the movie is just a really long epi, but i havent found a moive to a series that wasn't. it starts off with the team killing naraku, hows that for the begining? then kanna and kagura are off to find there 'true' freedom, eventually freeing a trapped imposter nymph. another character is intorduced, akitoki houjo (houjo's anscestor), kagome is kidnapped (suprise)and there are about 3-4 big battles!! all in all everything goes back to normal so how did they surpast the kiss... :D watch to see all in all if u like the series, of corse ull love this movie, if u love sangoxmiroku and kagomexinuyasha you love this movie, no kikyoxinu moments i promise!!
