If you are interested in the sequel of Inuyasha, I would honestly suggest reading the manga instead. I love the characters designs of the anime as they heal the longing of wanting to see the original Inuyasha crew once again, but Yashahime's story was written before given proper direction of how this adaptation was going to proceed.
I would strongly recommend the manga because it goes more into explaining what happened to all of the original characters, how Towa encountered Moroha and Setsuna, and better goes in depth of what happened with Kagome, Rin, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru and how they were separated from their children.

It's better to just stop until the Final Act rather than continue watching this one...
The story is a bit unsatisfying to me, more precisely, it's boring for me... 4/10.
The opening doesn't match the music a bit... 6/10.
There were several questions that arose in my mind when I first watched the anime... but I won't put them here because I'm too lazy to type at length.
I don't really care about the main characters... and for me, the three of them are not interesting at all... the MC lacks "Character Development" in the story, especially Towa.
This anime really disappointed me... yes, I was wrong to have my hopes too high when this anime was released at that time (when it was still going on...)
Note: I should have written this when the anime finished in 2021.
The main point is, that this a…

I am so glad I gave this anime a chance it quickly has become one of my favorite animes. Inuyasha is one of my favorite and first animes I had started watching when I was younger over 20 years ago so I was glad to see it get a sequel. When I first read what the story would be about I was a little confused but as I started watching it caught my attention and its a story that unravels as the story goes by. What I liked about this story is that it focuses on Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's daughters and the new characters getting introduced they are all very interesting but still has a nostalgic feeling seeing that world again. Would definitely recommend!

The first season is better than the second one
The second season is basically fan service for Inuyahsa watchers. Most of them like S2 more as all they care about is the original characters not the story or the main characters of Yashahime.
Moroha is weak character with no personality and just a comic relief character. Her popularity seems to be due to be daughter of Inuyahsa rather than herself .
This season seems to build up to a good story . Episode 24 looked to be promising but by the end of second season. It became all about the parents. Especially for Setsuna and Moroha . Instead of developing them as characters on their own. They became plot devices for their parents
The fights in S1 are by far better than S2
The ones in S1 had choreography and different scenarios .…

Inuyasha was one of the first anime I ever knew about, back in the days when it would run on Adult Swim alongside FullMetal Alchemist and the like. Seeing a sequel series announced honestly came as surprise at first, but I guess not even anime is exempt from the trends of modern media. Soon we will be doomed to receive only sequels and remakes until the end of time.
I think the story here relies too much on nostalgia baiting the audience. They know we want to see old characters and they'll dangle little bits here and there on a string to try and keep you engaged, only to pull the rug out from under you. The story is sort of like poetry, they rhyme. That's a nice way of saying they've essentially gone The Force Awakens route and rehashed pretty much the exact same plot with different chara…

Man, this was such an average series. Painfully average. And this coming from someone whose childhood anime viewing experienced started out with Inu-Yasha, being one of the anime that really hooked me in. This was a weak, weak follow up. As with all sequels, I'll assume you know the events of both Inu-Yasha and The Final Act for the purposes of this review.
Story: Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon takes place many, many years after the events of The Final Act. Sesshoumaru now has twin daughters - Towa and Setsuna. When they were young, the forest they were in was burned down and subsequently split them apart from each other. While Setsuna was simply cast off to a different part of the woods, Towa was thrown back through the old Bone Eater's well back to Kagome's old timeline. There, she was…

So FIRST, this is season one, season 2 has a separate review page. the TLDR is that season one had a good idea but like an ADD kid in a toy store it lost focus fast.
As there is not much to say, season one was not a good start BUT season 2 gets it back on track in a big way. The characters get limited development and the whole season seems to be episodic with the main story taking a back seat and just being a B story in each episode untill near the end of the season. in Season 2 things get back on track in a big way so please read up on that here https://myanimelist.net/anime/48505/Hanyou_no_Yashahime__Sengoku_Otogizoushi_-_Ni_no_Shou?q=yashahime&cat=anime

Spoilers ahead!
Hanyou no Yashahime: Sengoku Otogizoushi, or more simply, Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, is in theory, a sequel to Inuyasha (and Final Act, if you're following the anime rather than the manga), set a little less than two decades in the future, and follows the twin daughters of Sesshomaru, and the daughter of Kagome and Inuyasha.
In THEORY.
In practice, it feels a lot more like someone's fanfiction. Plot holes abound, and the show barely has even a fraction of the original anime. Enemies are weak, old, beloved characters are practically nonexistent, and why the HELL do we have to have character introduction tags showing up at the start of every single goddamn episode?! Do the creators think their watchers have the memory of a particularly dense sea cucumber? We don't nee…

This will be a short review so I'll just write what seemed to be the main points.
Real score: 7.5
I'm going to say this straight: it was more enjoyable than Inuyasha. I actually don't like Inuyasha that much and this one was more "edible" to watch and more fun. That's why it's not really a Inuyasha story, it's a different anime, a spin-off/sequel of sorts.
(+) What was good: Empowered and strong women, every chapter had a different story but never deviated from its main plot. There are certain mysteries that have yet to be revealed and it gets a little better when you reach episode 13 or 14 aproximately.
(-) What was bad: It had some logical incongruencies, anachronical dialogues sometimes, nothing serious but they should be a little more historically accurate. Sometimes confusing, bec…

When I first heard about this anime, I was really ecstatic. Inuyasha is one of my favorite manga/anime so imagine how happy I was when I heard of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru having their own kids in a new anime series!
Opening & Ending Themes + Songs
Edited by: Blushing Geek, scenes from Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon c/o Sunrise
The opening theme and the song fueled my already excited blood. The opening theme style reminds me so much of Inuyasha. The “bright” animation is just what I like considering this series is all about demons lol. This series is made by the same studio as Inuyasha, so I shouldn’t be surprise by that, *wink.
The first opening is giving me that “chill” vibe about this anime, which is really understandable since we are starting a new series. But the second opening is gi…

***maybe some slight spoilers***
Story: as some other reviews have said, the pacing is inconsistent. I feel like they were sloppy in fitting the background story to the show. There's a lot of loose ends-or in this case beginnings- it's like it doesn't want to feature the OG Inuyasha too much but Inuyasha and its characters are highly relevant to the plot! How are we talking about half-demon princesses and neglecting their parents?? As the series continues some questions are answered but some "answers" lead to more questions/plot holes
I also dont understand how they curse so its more adult but the fighting is lower stakes. I think the show needs to decide which direction it wants to go in.
Character: The girls dont seem to mature that much but they're also 15 so thats fine. We do lear…

While many criticisms have already been expressed here for Yashahime, I believe that many have missed the mark entirely on what constitutes a good story and how they feel about it, and their own desire to what they wanted to see. As some viewers have already expressed, this is a story from renowned Rumiko Takahashi, having won the Shogakukan award twice—and recently, The Purple Ribbon Medal of Honor from the Japanese government. To say that her works are underrated or a complete failure simply because one does not agree with the way the story is being portrayed is a disgrace upon some within the Inuyasha community, and may not be inherently respectable to call themselves true "Inuyasha fans".
Now, on the flip-side, I'm not going to sugar coat anything here by any stretch. Yashahime is not…

A continuation of the popular fantasy adventure with very strong references to the original series. Unfortunately, the new series fails to score in any discipline. First impression, don't do it!
Story: feels like a cheap rehash of the original story (4/10)
The daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha embark on a journey through time between modern and feudal Japan. They have very different reasons, but together they face the adventures that await them. The short introduction makes it clear that the plot will not be a firework of innovations. It feels more like a cheap remake. My personal low point is episode 14 with its discourse on a smartphone, built in for the target group, with no real reference to the series. Unfortunately, the plot largely consists of independent missions that often hav…

I liked the idea of this anime and I really want to like it but the execution of it just isn't all that great, I like the characters Towa, Moroha and Setsuna but the plot just didn't really do it for me, it didn't really seem to have much of any focus on where it was going and had me confused and a bunch of the episodes just seemed like filler and this isn't based any other source material, it started off well enough in the beginning but got kinda messy halfway through and the villains were kinda lame, this show was pretty highly anticipated and to me it was really mediocre but I'm interested to see how it goes from here

Story 6/10
Yes, like probably many of you, I came to watch this anime because I am huge Inuyasha fan and I could not miss the opportunity to watch something that would appease that nostalgia I feel whenever I think about Inuyasha and wonder what the characters are up to now...man, was I disappointed. Yes, we get to see our beloved characters again but the story becomes a bit boring pretty quickly. I know it is probably because they are building up the story but I felt lost and not interested because the plot doesn't seem to follow a solid story line, there is no sense of purpose or unity between the characters. There are episodes that feel completely like fillers (mind you, this does not have a manga so I don't know how you manage to have filler-like episodes).…

POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILERS!!
Yashahime was a HUGE disappointment for me. I don't understand why the characters behave the way they do, many Inuyasha characters have been replaced with other hollow ones (like Takechiyo replaced Shippo -I mean, come on! They even use the same powers-) and the "bad" guys are just a joke, you can't even take them seriously. I just can't accept the storyline (which, in my opinion, makes no sense AT ALL) and the fact that the characters we've grown so fond of feel so foreign, especially Sesshomaru acting so coldly towards Rin and his daughters without explaining the reason (don't get me started with what happened to Inuyasha and Kagome -they simply took them out of the way-). Many things that happened throughout the season remain unanswered and there are character…

The show started off very strong but as I progressed, my interest in the show dwindled. It almost felt like I had to force myself to keep watching it. Initially, I rated this show an 8/10, but perhaps my nostalgia for Inuyasha and my overexcitement clouded my judgment.
I understand the show is about the offspring of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru but it was frustrating that old characters, the parents more specifically, were cut out from the story. It was like they were discarded. It's one thing to leave a little mystery for viewers to wonder about the parents but to do that entire season is a bit much. As a watcher, I felt lead on astray. Also, the battles against the antagonists seem to be too easy in comparison to Inuyasha; they weren't as catastrophic. Lastly, a romantic pairing revealed in…

Alright, so First off yes, it's no 10/10. The story drags and there's a lot of what feels formulaic filler. There are a lot of generic villain of the week plots that makes the series feel like indeed, an anime from the early 2000s like inuyasha, but with villains nowhere near as interesting. Moving on to the characters, Moroha is fun but Setsuna is a killjoy most of the time, and Towa is sometimes a bit TOO dumb/naive. Now, moving on to the animation, it feels very cheap compared to any other current shonen anime airing these days but I feel like the series in general really could have been improved if they cut it down to a single cour 12 episode season and focused the budget/cut down on the filler-y episodes. All in all though, the show does have it's moments but the pacing will understan…

Yashahime follows the trend of most modern sequels. It’s heavily dependent on the original cast, it has a lot more emphasis on chicks than men, and is overall unneeded and a waste of time. Inuyasha had already outstayed its welcome by over a hundred episodes, but at least it ended. You were free to leave it behind you as a very good action adventure than ran out of juice very quickly and then kept going in circles until you no longer gave a damn. Years later and for no logical financial reason they decided to make a sequel for a show nobody asked for or was looking forward to. How did they expect to make back their money I have no idea, since everyone had either moved on to other shows, or stopped watching anime altogether. And they didn’t exactly win back a lot of people with the directio…
