InuYasha - Recommendations

CodeWordChobits says...

If you enjoyed this show for the romance that always seems just out of reach, and all the misinterpreted and misguided relationships, peppered with all kinds of beautifull animation, fighting, and plot... then this one defiately deliver it all and more.

raidenxl says...

Inuyasha is very similar to Chrono Crusade in many aspects, one of the aspects would be that their is a demon who acts tough but actually is quite a soft hearted person who cares for the people around him, and the other that the demon devotes his life to protecting his female companion who they deeply care for. Both series feature fighting between demons and an emotional and deep storyline that draws you in. Although Chrono Crusade is alot shorter then Inuyasha, Chrono Crusade manages to tell its great story none the less.

saiyamar says...

If you liked the romance side of things with a demon and a human in this anime then you'll certainly like the other.

Both Inuyasha and Chrono Crusade are based on Demons fitting in with humans aswell as them having a troubled past. Both of these shows refer to a past relationship which the main character had with a human and then we see a new relationship similar to that happening again.

Even though Chrono crusade is rather a bit darker than Inuyasha, and Inuyasha is probably more suitable for younger anime fans, they are both similar. Inuyasha isn't so heavy on the plot all the time as Chrono is but that is to be expected with it being considerably longer than Chrono's 24 episodes.

If you liked one i recommend trying the other.

love4Sora says...

There's a very simular love between the two main characters, and they also have past loves, and issues they want to face, but they also don't want to give up everything they have in life.

pikachu203 says...

Do you like epic fighting, good stories, lovable characters, or demons?  Do you like anime set in a historical setting?  Then both of these shows would definitely appeal to you, as they both contain such epicness.  While both InuYasha and Chrono Crusade take place in very different locales and time periods(InuYasha in fuedal Japan and Chrono Crusade in the 1920s in New York in America), if you liked one, you'd probably like the other.

Inuyasha and Blue Exorcist have the main character is a half demon sword fighters that fight with humans

hamletsmage says...

Both anime evolve around demonic forces. The main protagonist is a thick-headed young man who takes out enemies with a sword. However, fully transformed, neither can really control themselves, and require the aid of a special group of people to finish the job.

Chitaka says...

Blue Exorcist  and InuYasha both share the fact that the main character is half demon, half human and with their demon powers they decide it is their duty to protect the world from the evil demons. They also both have their loyal band of friends with a variety of other powers and fighting skills to help them along the way. Rin and InuYasha also both choose a demonic sword made specifically for them as their main mode of fighting.

pikachu203 says...

Similar in several integral themes and with half demon main characters, the shows have a lot more in common then they appear to at the surface.  While they both occur in very different locations and time periods, the characters share some similarities.  If action packed adventure and epic half demon dudes are your thing, or if you liked either of these anime, you'd like the other one.

SuperAvengerMan says...

Both of these anime shows have half-human & half-demon characters fighting other demons with their special swords. The shows have dramatic plots and funny scenes. If you love InuYasha, you gotta give this anime a try!

lantis says...

Dimensionally displaced girl, kick ass sword fighting and the occasional spell slinging, as well as a decent mix of mythology and storytelling. Yes, Inu Yasha and Rayearth are similar tales of adventure and tribulation. Both are very awesome, for those who enjoy this sort of thing.

fizrox says...

In both anime main characters are much alike - they are taken from present to a different world, where their powers are awaken, and they have to face a new, troublesome situation and are basically left with no choice as wheter to return or to stay and help this fantasy world's inhabitants.

chii says...

Girls get swooped away and taken to another point in time in both anime. InuYasha only has one girl that this happens to where MKR has 3 but they are all quite shocked and determined to find their way back home while fighting monsters and defeating demons. Animation styles are pretty similar but the humor is quite differnt. Check one out if you liked the other.

LittleChomp says...

Kagome in Inuyasha reminds me of the girls in Magic Knight Rayearth. She really struggles to adjust to her new world, like Umi, she's insecure about her fighting skills at first, like Fuu, and eventually, she charges into battle like Hikaru! If you enjoy watching Earth girls fighting monsters in a foreign place and learning to control their powers, you'll probably love both of these!

jastheace says...

If you like this series for the fighting, you will like this series as well. Lots of intricate battles and character "powerups". GO FIGHTING ANIMES!!

wolfangel87 says...

Both YYH and Inuyasha deal with high school students and center around a strange demonic aura. There's mysticism involved, and each group fights the demons and tries to protect their homeland. Both of the main characters are males with very surly personalities that match their fighting skills. They each meet a group of friends along the way that strive to help them fight the demons and protect the ones that they love.

starlightknight says...

Both Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho focus on demons. In both series, the main characters spend the majority of their time fighting demons to help maintain peace in the world. In both series, the main character's strength grows exponentially throughout the story as they rise to the challenge to defeat new demons.

Both series also have many comedic elements that provide a nice mix of action and comedy.

If you like one of these series, you should try giving the other a shot.

PrettyBoy says...

BOTH animes have a good mixture of action and romance. Inuyasha has a little bit more romance but they both have fantasy.  So if you like powers and beams and all that crazy stuff that we cant do in real life you will like yu yu hakusho and inuyasha.  These are MY top 2 animes of all time at the moment. HIGHLY recommend both !!!

amateurasu says...

I guess these series remind me of each other because so many of the battles are fought with creatures or objects that have been given power somehow and must be stopped. I know that sounds vague and general, but there's a very similar feel to the fights in these two shows. And both also have the comedy and romance packages added ^_^.

chuckylover911 says...

I guess the animes are simular because of all the fights and missions. ALso you gotta love the animation styles! And the romance, comedy, action!

wolfangel87 says...

The intense battle under taken by each of the characters in Inuyasha and D.N Angel are fun and exciting.  The male protagonists are similar to in their humor and willingness to overcome all obstacles to reach their goals.  The magical aspects in each bring life to the series.

hamletsmage says...

Both of the protagonists have two sides to them, light and dark, and fight against a maniac whose goal seems to destroy the world. Their missions revolve around stopping something that has become an object of power. Comedy and romance intermingle with the plotline in both anime, as well.

amateurasu says...

Inuyasha and Kekkashi both are supernatural power-up type of shows, and also have a somewhat similar relationship between the leading man and lady.

Canal says...

Kekkaishi is a bit similar to Inuyasha since the main characters have to fight ayakashi and other supernatural creatures like Inuyasha and the others. Also the male lead wears the same outfit as Miroku.

poetax says...

Both fall into the category of a shonen anime, and both deal with battling as the main subject for each episode. Also InuYasha, and Kekkaishi each share trace ammounts of Romantic feelings between the male and female protagonists. However Kekkaishi's romantic side is much more like a light crush. If you like one, you will be sure to like the other.

JordanJas says...

Both of these animes have the main character protecting and having mixed feelings about the main female character. Not to mention the demons in both worlds. Gah I suck at these things! While I liked them both I can also see why some may not. I hope y'all enjoy these as much as I did!

crimsoneyes says...

Inuyasha and KKM's main characters, Kagome and Yuri, are taken into another world. There, they both have important missions to fulfill. The stories take the main characters through romance, action and comedy, and the characters have to put their lives on the line in some way. A hero in the story always seems to save them, as well.

Nocturnalgloria says...

Kyo Kara Maoh and InuYasha have protagonists who are taken from our world to a semi-Medieval and fantastical world in which magic abounds. Thrust in a dangerous situation, they must set out on adventures with a group of characters whose abilities prove vital. Sword fights, plenty of humour and occasional leaps from one world to the other make these titles akin.

firelizard says...

In both Inuyasha and Kyo Kara Maoh, an 'average Japanese student' (Kagome/Yuri) finds themselves transported into a strange world resembling the past where demons and magic are commonplace. The past reincarnation of their soul is someone important to several of the other characters, and this old soul is the basic of their powers.  Frequent flashbacks to the previous life occur.  Both must deal with the general hatred between humans and demons, and more specifically work to heal the bitterness between half demon and full demon and half-brothers.  Both must take time out from their epic quest to save the world to return to the world of their birth to attempt to pass their classes. Both manage to be incredibly funny to watch while still maintaining an overall serious storyline and complex well developed characters that you will love!

hamletsmage says...

Was the main character thrown through a trans-dimensional space via unconventional means (toilet/well)? Yes to both. Is the main character now in a feudal era setting heavily populated by demons? Yes to both. Does the main character learn they have a major important role in this realm? Yes to both. 

Both of Kyo Kara Maoh and Inuyasha are an enjoyable ride of humor, fight scenes, and intertwining plotlines. If you like one, you'll probably like the other. 

Oehr says...

Both series are, well, collecting series. Someone's looking either for shards of a jewel or feathers of memories. In the end, both series are romantic and have concluded episodes. Not to mention, both are yet to finish!

4EverDreamer says...

In both, the female lead is looking for scattered items (feathers and shards), with the help of a male lead and several companions. There is also a cute creature along (Kiara and Makona). There is a bit of humor and romance as well, and a bunch of fighting. I'm sure if you enjoyed one you will like the other.

kerokittyify says...

Both are questing series and both series have a main character longing to be 'seen' by the other.  In Tsubasa Syoaran is longing to regain the life he had with Sakura before her memories were scattered and hopefully regain with them the possibilities of a life with her; while in Inuyasha, Kagome wants Inuyasha to see her for who she is, not who she looks like and hopefully have him look to the future (maybe with her) instead of dwelling in the past. 

shinigamidono says...

In both series the main character wanders the world looking for the fragments of something in order to once again make it whole.

miger224 says...

Both involve a sensible high school girl who is caught up in a world that she had previously no idea about. The main character is also someone constantly belittled due to some higher god politics, who is incredibly powerful, with father issues to boot. Also, cute sidekicks are involved :)

NatiBerry says...

En los dos animes una adolescente con habilidades espirituales acompaña a un ser Dios/Demonio a derrotar monstruos y a sus enemigos

arrow1350 says...

Both are action-packed shounen animes that have big romance elements. There is a love story between the male and female lead. The relationships are complicated because they're not the same "species." Both male leads have tragic and dark pasts, and the female lead becomes a source of strength in moving on.

Both include normal girls getting pulled into the supernatural worlds, which affects their day to day lives. Hiyori seemingly fainting everywhere, and Kagome taking many sick days.

The focus of the stories is different. Whereas I feel Noragami focuses more on Yato, the male lead, Inuyasha seems more focused on Kagome, the female lead. This really affects the storytelling, not because of their genders, but the framing in which we learn about the supernatural worlds they inhabit. 

Wolfiechan100 says...

i watched it iot was GREAT u sholud watch amazing anime and it was amazing to watch on here thatnks anime plant

Evilshallprevail says...

Well, both have supernatural beings in them, have skills with swords, poison users, unique personalities and the main 'Supernatural VS Human' theme going on.

Also, all of the characters have always something to do with the enemy, no matter how distant or recent it happened.

JuneauIloveya says...

The protagonist travels around with his companions to defeat demons. Inuyasha focuses heavily on the romantic aspects, but Demon Slayer has heavy family values themes. 

StellaMacchia says...

Both Inuyasha and Demon slayer are historical and about demons.

Inuyasha it'sabout this group of people slaying demons to put together shards that spread around Japan. (The shards makes demons stronger)

Demon slayer it's about a group of three slaying demons. (The MC is slaying demons for revenge)

Torishu says...

100% I agree with this. I was 2-3 seasons into InuYasha when I decided to watch Demon Slayer, and they feel like almost the same show, except Demon Slayer definitely is modern-age with modern-age themes. Where InuYasha is dated (and it is!), Demon Slayer is progressive. They are very similar plots and the episode structure and larger story progression is basically the same.
