Takahashi comments

"INU-YASHA is a fantasy manga in which Kagome, a teenage girl from modern Japan, travels back to Japan's Middle Ages to face demonic creatures from the past... and Inu-Yasha, her unwitting demonic ally, captured by herself in a former life. The art style draws from Takahashi's action-heavy RANMA 1/2 and the moodier MERMAID'S FOREST, and sees some of her first use of computer tone effects, giving it a denser look. Super-powered battles abound, and it wouldn't be Takahashi without humor, but the atmosphere is generally fantastic -- and horrific.

INU-YASHA is similar in many ways to Yoshihiro Kuroiwa's ZENKI THE DEMON PRINCE and Kazuhiro Fujita's OSHIO AND TORA, both successful manga (and anime) in which the descendants of priests summon or release bloodthirsty demons but, luckily, are able to bend them to their will. (USHIO AND TORA has its cat-like "Tora" pinned to a wall with a 'demon spear'; ZENKI has a female heroine.) But the feudal setting, and time travel, recalls nothing as much as Rumiko Takahashi's FIRE TRIPPER.
...

Inu-Yasha (which translates roughly to "dog demon" -- "I wanted a cool, but wild name," Takahashi has said)"

Missing media

There are 3 "OVAs" and a theater production that are not mentioned in this article (seen here under "specials"). I'm not a big fan of this series so I'm just letting it be known, someone else can add them and try to find reliable sources. 00:16, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessaryily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

InuYasha versus Inuyasha

So, when Viz licensed the series, they first went Inu-Yasha, both as the name of the series and the main character. After they moved from their Viz Graphic Novel line to their Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line, they made a new logo and the series became InuYasha while the character himself became Inuyasha. This holds true for both the comic and the anime, as well as all other official sources (such as Viz' website). I guess I should mention that Inuyasha is now also used as the name of the series nowadays, like on Viz' website and on Hulu... But that isn't the point I'm trying to make. I'm just saying his name is Inuyasha, and has never been InuYasha, so I would like to correct this mistake on the various pages. Any objections?

Now, for the title itself... It too started out as Inu-Yasha back when Viz first licensed the comic, but when they made that move to Shonen Jump Graphic Novels, they made a brand new, more catchy-looking logo stylized as InuYasha. From this point on, whenever Viz referred to the show, they called it InuYasha as it was written in the logo. However, nowadays they write it out as Inuyasha like they do the character's name. Go do any amount of searching, and that's exactly what you will see. You can check out the official "Inuyasha" page on Viz' website, Neon Alley, and Hulu for examples of the updated spelling in action. We should move the page to Inuyasha.

I agree with you. If you go to www.viz.com/inuyasha - it is listed as "Inuyasha". If the move is made, all Inuyasha sub-pages need to be moved as well. Good point. Chambr (talk) 05:18, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also support this. Lucia Black (talk) 05:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested moves

– Despite the logo stylizing the name as "InuYasha", Viz never spells it that way. Both the character and the show are constantly refered to as "Inuyasha". Sources: the official "Inuyasha" page on Viz' website, Neon Alley, Hulu, the back description on the comics (the actual material in the comic itself uses all capital letters, so it's of no use), the back description on the DVDs and BDs, and the official subtitles.
