What the teens thought: This was another series that a lot of the club members were already familiar with. Many of them had seen it on Adult Swim or had been reading the manga in the library. Some of the club members requested that we show an episode with Sesshomaru (he’s such a bishi). Enough action to satisfy the guys. Enough romance and hotties to keep the girls happy. Too familiar to keep everyone interested through the entire show.
What I thought: I’ve also seen most of this series so I spent part of it cleaning up the mess everyone made at the snack table. It’s a decent series. Rumiko Takahashi is pretty well known and she’s good at mixing action and romance to keep everyone happy. Still, it’s too familiar.
+ Good mix of action and romance
+ Good animation
+ Connection to historical period might make for interesting cultural lessons
- Too familiar
