Inu Yasha Character Study: Episode 18

The hell-painter obviously is similar to Naraku as both use minions and both were consumed by evil, whether by a more direct form from thoughts or from powers of the Shikon no Tama to give him whatever he wanted. Also, the great evil that consumed the hell-painter is similar to the death of Onigumo into Naraku. An evil so tempting that death would be worth it.

Inu Yasha Character Study: Episode 13

Episode 13: Though it is important that you find out that Inu Yasha is not always half-demon all the time, it has some symbolic meaning as well in my point of view. Osho disguises himself to deceive a girl, whose parents he kills, to bringing Inu Yasha and the Shikon no Tama to him. This is similar to how Naraku deceives Inu Yasha and Kikyo into corrupting the Shikon no Tama for his purposes, which seems obvious, since Naraku's former form, Onigumo means "ogre-spider," like Osho's spider form and his minions. Note that, both use insects around these episodes. Also, Osho is a monk, like Miroku, who doesn't do everything that he should be, like being a lecher, instead of being a fake human; they both also use "sutras" to protect people from harms way... lol. Also it is similar to how Sango was manipulated to believing how evil Inu Yasha/youkai/hanyou are since both manipulated a warrior girl after destroying her village prior to the trap.

Inu Yasha Character Analysis: Episodes 11-12

Episode 11: The Noh Mask/Nou-men shows how Kagome is a part of the feudal era whether she is in on the other side of the well or not as the Noh masks attempts to take away her shards of the Shikon no Tama. It also shows how safe she is on this side of the well anyway and can better benefit against the evil seeking the Shikon No Tama when she's with Inu Yasha. It also hints more and more of Inu Yasha's feelings and real personality- why people like Inu Yasha is in what's every part of this episode- actually the last 5. lol. Reminds me of the soup that formed Kodoku in Episode 32.

Episode 12: The girl who mourns over her own death is similar to how Kikyo is mourning over how Inu Yasha "betrayed" her though it was not in actuality his fault. Her blind rage is uncontrollable and risks the lives of many other people as she attempts to kill others with fires and other unfortunate accidents. However, she can not stop herself by being consumed by hell without the help of Kagome (or in Kikyo's case, her soul), which saves her from hell.

Inu Yasha Character Analysis: Episodes 9-10: The Thunder Brothers

The Thunder Brothers Hiten and Manten are used for analogously with Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha in many ways:

            Manten is ashamed of having no hair, which is similar to how Inu Yasha is ashamed of only being hanyou. Hiten however, also has similarities to Inu Yasha, because though, unlike Inu Yasha, he is more similar to his great father's structure, he is more similar in the fact that he is more human looking and Inu Yasha may also being the stronger of the two brothers due to the fact that he looks and cares for humans. 

The episode has a better emphasis on families as we observe how Shippo mourns over the death for his father and how the Hiten mourns over his younger brother, Manten's death, despite the fact that Hiten considers Manten an idiot and Manten still can not go over the fact that he does not have hair. Much like a Cyrano de Bergerac scenario like in episode 8.

Inu Yasha Character Analysis: Episodes 3-4, 8

Yura, the Hair youkai is about a demon that looks for only materialistic desires, such as pretty hair or just objects of power, such as the Shikon no Tama. Possibly an analogy to why Kagome likes Inu Yasha in the first place.

Amari Nobunaga, the brother of famous Oda Nobunaga is used to represent how somebody like Inu Yasha won't express how he's attracted to humans somebody like how Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru argue between each other. However, he will protect them to the end, no matter how he may die from it. Sort of like a Cyrano de Bergerac thing by submitting to society. However, also notice how people could not figure out that the lord was possessed by a demon, like how Inu Yasha and Kagome and Kikyo do not recognize how Kikyou has changed and been possessed and possibly how Inu Yasha was as well. The Amari-Lord struggle can be seen as similar to the triangle between the Kikyo and Kagome, especially with the concepts of soul stealing.

For Inu Yasha Haters:

Note: That I wrote this a long time ago and still have not watched the new series.
Albeit, I did watch two episodes and got bored very quickly.
That being said, fans don't tune out yet. I have a very good analysis of at least ten episodes in the series that I think are worth mentioning.

After watching the movie, I can not stand Inu Yasha anymore.  After watching 70+ episodes, I figure just to watch the last 10 minutes of episodes. He can do anything now.... He can beat anybody no matter how ridiculously powerful they are despite his horrible attack patterns. Kagome's a sitting duck. Kikyou should run out of soul or something. Naraku can't stop hiding... And after Inu Yasha beat that guy in the movie, he still can't beat Naraku, and Naraku doesn't believe Menomaru was a threat? You're kidding me.. GIVE SHIPPO SOME POWERS. He rarely shows Fox/Illusion magic ever, despite his great power.  Get a new villain/hero. Show us more Sesshomaru & co! What happened to Kagura, etc..?  Sesshomaru & Kikyou were wasted in that movie..  Meanwhile... somewhere in the 70s, there are 3 episodes where the SAME thing happens, except in a cooler way w/ a Sesshomaru-InuYasha-Kouga alliance...  I hate the anime's Kouga, cuz they don't show why they should be allied, but at least his guys can actually fight, unlike the humans who always die every episode.. (esp Sango's village, yet not Kikyuo's..)  Also, they didn't put Rin in the picture, just for the sake of not having a wolf problem vs Kouga... FIX THAT! lol The anime (not the Manga) from wut I hear.. gives NO REASON for us to like Kouga..  (for WWE fans.. TV Kouga=Snitsky, Sesshoumaru=Kane, InuYasha= Matt Hardy/Edge)

Is Cowboy Bebop one of the best anime ever? (Part 1: Stuff off the top of my head)

Writing analysis and reading the new wiki, I realize why Cowboy Bebop is considered to be one of the best anime ever.

Personally, I like Cowboy Bebop. The action is great. The sci fi cowboy setting is done artistically yet originally. English and Japanese dubbing done perfectly with very good performances evolved opposed to just dubbing, ESPECIALLY SPIKE SPIEGEL.

I did not see the problems of the future right away, but they are definitely there:

• The need for bounty hunters to solve crime. 
• Crime Syndicates becoming too powerful.
• The lack of a coherent government because of the large sections of space they'd need to govern.
• Transsexuals fighting in this cowboy setting.

There is also a bit of the lack of that given to the characters when the story needed
A good mix of post modernism with its dystopian future setting mixed with classical tunes. Pierre Le Fou in homage to the great Jean Luc-Goddard.

Spike has this blue jacket white a green-yellowish shirt on him.
The woman of Cowboy Bebop contrast Spike with Faye's purple hair, yellow blouse and red jacket; Edward's orange hair and white shirt.
Jet Black is almost: jet black. So is the dog.

People seem to get a kick out of the episode where Spike is a senpai and teaches his student to become like water in order to defeat his enemy, and to get him out of his large Tai from Digimon hair. It sort of matches his blue jacket to have a water-like and cool personality. The real folk BLUES?

I still have to go back and watch the show though, to determine whether or not it should be #1.

What you choose is entirely up to you. Cannot blame you for choosing it as #1, as I had for a while before a recent showing of the show to me just doing nothing for me.

NYCC 2013: Unsamurai Undeeper Gyo underperforms

The film starts with an interesting premise: Male Protagonist canceled to go to see loved one because of hydrophobia; something that really could have been touched upon in this anime movie. Really starting to build up the intimidating horror look of the film. The exploration of sound could have made this a classic with a decent sound engineer, as Tadashi mentions the sound of cicadas and its dad death, turning it into a horror classic a la Jaws or Psycho.
The film has a seemingly interesting premise seemingly similar to the Thing, where a germish attack on Earth seems to become unstoppable, preying on people's medicinal fears.
An interesting part of the film slightly explored is that people do fear eating fish, because of the smell. Hydrophobes probably dislike oceans and their salty smell associated and learned from their experiences with them.

The film then unorthodoxly goes G rated with a skit with the main female protagonists not seeing the fish walking all over the place. It becomes later dramatic. The original intent of the movie becoming that it forms intent is to be a dark comedy after all, a la Scream. The Natural Born Killers eye censors support this idea after the fish premise.

Again, there's a lot of exposition in what should have been a standard horror B-movie. Not a lot of scary imagery or direction, which the horror genre is known for. I guess it is more of a Z-movie comedy. What they went for. Polarized what I enjoyed from the manga at least.

The details:
Lesbian jokes are a little distasteful,  But again this is not a classic. Aki's actresses performance is really good, but the disdain for Eriko just seems to come out of nowhere. Eriko's turning into a fat ugly character, is in poor taste again.
There is also an awesome poorly animated crash
