Rainbow Pearls, Bounty/Demon Hunting in the perfectly established world of Inuyasha franchise. More like a filler season. Distrubing developments from the original runs.
sisubalan21 January 2023
Its a direct continuation from what was left on the last episode of the inuyasha final act series but focusing on different characters that are the childrens of the original characters. Its like using the already established world from the inuyasha series but the main focus shift onto their respective future generations. I dont feel comfortable knowing that rin ended up becoming seshoumarus wife lol, she was still a kid. Saw Koga just briefly for a moment with no dialogues and it was a bit confusing to follow the storyline and keeping up with the sudden changes.

Tbh i was worried with the way the storyline progressed that was very much alike the inuyasha series. But things gotten better later on, so be patience. Instead of Shikon Jewels the focus changed to a new antique known as Rainbow pearls (weaker in power compared to Shikon Jewel but grants variety of abilities original to each pearls). All the three main characters in this series were 'boyish' girls that have their own subplots to the main storyline (same formula as in the inuyasha series). The execution of the storyline was a bit messy and rushed. Many plot holes as always.

Unlike the original run, this sequel took time travel and its consequences very seriously. The quality of the animation tremendously improved. All the original characters appeared, some are recurring characters for this sequel and almost all the original voice casts returned for this project. Loving the interaction between the new characters and the old characters. Sound scores were very original to the earliest season of the inuyasha series - very classic & nostalgic.

All the intro and outro songs were okay. Not something that i would watch again but still highly recommended.

Ejoyable!

If you compare this with Inuyasha, it lacked a lot from the original series.

The humor was gone.

Inuyasha was a half demon that could fend for himself and protect others at the same time while the big and strong Sesshomaru's (not one but two) daughters always needed the whole team to take anything down, the battles were not as interesting as the previous series either.

In Inuyasha everyone had different kinds of abilities, genders, and so on while in Yashahime there were three teenage girls struggling with different kinds of Wind Scar abilities that also made it less interesting.

For me Inuyasha was a 10+ while this was "yeah, it's still fun and I really liked the idea of watching a sequel to one of the best anime I've ever seen.

A joint dubbed anime
nathanielcorreia30 December 2020
The anime's dub cast(s) are stationed at Bang Zoom! in Los Angeles, California and Ocean Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia while some of the cast members from the first anime returned (including Kaye who does shows for both countries) Viz Media somehow found the funds to but in American cast members, there's no doubt the voice director Jalen K. Cassell has to Skype Ocean Studios to talk Cox, Tozer, Sheridan, Micheals and Morrow and plenty of the original characters will return with their respective dub actors.

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
Tweekums20 March 2021
This series is centred on sisters Towa and Setsuna; when they were four they are separated and Towa falls through a portal which takes her to modern day Japan. Here she is adopted and raised like a normal child; hiding her powers and origins. In the meantime Setsuna has become a demon slayer. Ten years later Setsuna goes to the present day and the pair are reunited. After fighting a demon they both return to the feudal era; with Towa taking some modern items with her. Here they fight demons with their cousin Moroha. Early on it is fairly 'demon of the week but as it progresses longer arcs start to emerge.

I must admit that I didn't see the series 'Inuyasha', in fact when I watched this series I was unaware that it was a spin off from an older show. That didn't matter though; I still rather enjoyed it even if it lacked the nostalgia factor other viewers got. The story is fun and there is plenty of action in each episode; this is well animated and exciting. There is also humour, this doesn't feel overly forced. The character designs are likeable and the animation is solid. The first season ends with a cliff-hanger ending that will leave fans keen to see the promised second season. Overall a fun series.

These comments are based on watching the first season in Japanese with English subtitles.

English dub

I LOVE inuyasha but when I found this show I was over the moon! The only thing that kills it is the voice actors! They didn't even get someone who sounded remotely similar! Now it feels like a whole different franchise! I still love it but it's hard to not hear the original crew! It kills me when they change people midway through!

Sweet memories
sulitipid11 October 2020
I remember watching Inuyasha when I was still young. There's no video streaming so I have to watched it on free TV, after school I rushed to our tv to watch inuyasha.. I really love the show... Now, I'm adult and I really really love Hanyô no Yashahime it brings a lot of sweet memories when I was young.... I also love that they maintain the old school animation.... uhm I hide from my kids while watching this... if they see me, I'm sure they will tell their mom "look momma dad's is watching cartoons!"

For Inuyasha fans of course
jaysshukla26 March 2022
The storyline felt bit simplistic since much of it revolved only around parent-daughter relationship. That wasn't the problem though. What kept me from giving this show high ratings was the pace. Around 70% of the first season was filler. Season 2 however was much more interesting and enjoyable. Of course, not at the same level as the original Inuyasha series but that's quite understandable.

I would say this is a must-watch for the Inuyasha fans. However, you will have to keep waiting for the screentime of your favorite characters.

The very first opening song New Era from Sixtones used to be at the top of my playlist around a year ago.

Yashahime tries hard
anyiarmijos19 December 2020
The three central characters are good, they have potential but are overshadowed in a poorly written and inconsistent story. It really is disappointing how they continued the original story. The anime lost all the essence of the original story written by Rumiko, they should never have given the green light to this project. It's another sad case of Game of Thrones where the original author doesn't get involved, the writers are lost.

Mysterious
roxannethiri21 January 2021
This series kept the og characters on secret so far. Fans are waiting and discussing on how they would be. Waiting for more reveals so far. All the best for Yashahime.

It can't be more annoying
Aries_Primal26 October 2020
4 episodes I'm watching something that could be collected in a single one. Instead of revealing, story becomes more complicated and brings questions. Some made up characters and powers appears, since at Inuyasha things were based on logic, at least a little, and followed some chronology. Nothing make sense and main characters are more than insufferable. And what after all happened with the characters we already know? Vanished?

I love it
shadowangel-368833 February 2022
Inuyasha was one of my favorites growing up. At first I will confess I was disappointed with the sequel but season 2 has helped cure that by bringing all the original characters back into play. As for the people complaining about the union between sesshomaru and Rin I'll say this I don't mind. And here is why; sesshomaru was the only one who loved and protected her from everything after her parents were killed aside from inuyasha's bunch occasionally. #2 Rin was the only person who really showed any tenderness and compassion toward him. I mean the only other two women that cared for him died. 3 and a lot of people need to understand this inuyasha and yashahime are both set in a time period 500 years prior to present day and he did wait until she was of legal age they could've made it much worse. For a story that's supposed to be about feudal Japan and things that happen 500 years ago it accurate in marriage laws. This show got off to a rough start but it has definitely gotten better. But If the SESS/RIN family doesn't get the same heart felt reunion kagome inuyasha and Moroha got I will never watch either series again!!!!

An animated Fanfiction
KikyNez4 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Well, it is not spoiler: Rumiko didn't even write any of this. she only did characters design.

This reminded me of Dragon Ball GT, Toriyama would come to write Dragon Ball Super after DBGT because was not absolutely at all his story.

So, I'll watch till the end of it, but it's absolutely a Fanfiction made, produced and writed from, obviusly a fan of Inuyasha's charcters, for giving them a disturbing turn.

Sesshoumaru has to become one of the most controversial in this serie, because there's a lot in the fandom eaggerly waiting for Rin to be his wife.

For me, would be really disturbing to make a charcater with such a development to turn that father/daughter relationship into a romantic one.

But, and is a big BUT, in feudal era this kind of relation was pretty normal.

Today is grooming and even the "P" word.

And I absolutely will dislike that if it come to fruition, but I cannot criticize something that on those times, even for an animé, was a common practice.

AS for me, if the infamous SessRin happens, I will deny existence of this sequel and stop watching it, I'm not gonna get angry or anything, just stop watching and that is it.

In the other hand, Yashahime hadn't give me nothing, Each episode is slow, when in Inuyasha could happen A LOT in 24 minutes, in Yashahime, nothing happens for most an episode or maybe something happens in 2 minutes at the end.

I don't know.

I wanted to like it, to love it, as much I loved Inuyasha... But is not working.

As so far: 3/10... I will see when series ends I'll give other rate (or not) and other full review.

Loving the new Series
jyneevieve19 January 2021
I am an avid fan of inuyasha series. I am just so happy that they do another sequel for my long time favorite anime since I was a kid. I wanted to see how the old cast develop and who are the new villains that they need to fight. Also, im excited to witness their daughters powers and the girls unite with their parents. That will be sooo amazing!!

Old fans and new fans will be bored
emelinagui18 January 2021
Nothing like it's predecessor. If you're an old fan it has none of the heart or humor that made you come back every week for more. I can skip entire episodes and miss absolutely nothing. If you're new, nothing makes sense unless you've watched the OG series and that has 300 episodes.

I appreciate Takahashi and Sunrise's effort to create more Inuyasha content but they dropped the ball on this one.

Absolutely Stunning
cookadam-0200930 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I started watching Inuyasha when I was in high school, and I absolutely enjoyed it back then, and I still enjoy it to this day. Yashahime is an amazing follow-up to the famed anime. The characters are charming, the animation is perfect, the nostalgic value is ranked up to 11 and it still has that Inuyasha atmosphere. I do have to give credit to the English dub, it was great to get the old cast back together, although sadly this is the swan song for Kirby Morrow (Voice of Miroku) who passed away a week after the 1st episode of the dub was officially released. Rest In Peace Kirby. But I can be grateful that they brought back the original voice of Sesshomaru, David Kaye. Overall the 1st season of Yashahime is outstanding. Ironically my favourite anime of 2020.

Inuyasha: The Next Generation!
G33KEd3 October 2020
As a Inuyasha fan, I approve the sequel series to the original anime series!

Started watching the very first episode on Hulu in original Japanese and I love it.

I absolutely love the new descendants of Inuyasha & Kagome and Sesshomaru that are now the new main characters; the animation is definitely the same as the original series & the Final Act; and the story is perfect!

For fans of the anime series, 'Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon' is one awesome anime of 2020 you won't want to miss!

(Let's wait for the new English dub soon.)

Maybe one of the worst sequels you will ever find
nudingantonia2 January 2021
This whole series is a mess.

An overall plot doesn't exist so far. Every episode follows the lame monster-of-the-week formular and a main goal for the three girls is not there. Everything is related to the original crew but even after half of the season is over we still don't know anything what happened to Inuyasha and Co. Characters don't behave like real human. Demons look silly and dumb and die within a episode. I really can't believe how they were allowed to release crap like this. Just don't watch this poorly written fanfiction of a sequel, move on and watch the original series instead.

Wish I could give it 0 stars
cordelialovejoy18 January 2021
This show is dull. The characters are stagnant, the plot non-existent, tone jarring and overall uninteresting. There are no redeeming or entertaining features about this anime at all. It's a blatant cash grab and nothing else.
