That goatee would have looked really goofy on Mugen.

That and the piercing would have really clashed with his character, especially later on.

Hmmm, same age as Zoro.

Oh man, speaking of FINAL ACT, I've begun watching InuYasha again for the first time since I was 16.
...I'm 28 now. I only got to the thirtieth episode or so back in the day, but I'm gonna give it my all now and see all 193. Kinda bummed some of the cast had to change for FINAL ACT, but such is life.

I will admit, if it weren't for both of my parents watching Inuyasha all throughout my middle and high school days when OG Adult Swim Action began, I wouldn't have wanted to finish at 167. They kind of got me to keep watching even though I kind of didn't want to.
It wasn't until The Band of Seven arc that I made the decision to want to finish it myself instead of watching it with them.
Nice.
I don't actually know hardly anything about 31 (or whatever) through to the end. Just that the show is ridiculed often for feeling derivative of itself and that opinions on it are wildly diverse. But I do hear "Band of Seven" tossed around a lot. I guess it's a good part?

Up until that arc, it felt like the show wasn't going anywhere. There were a few fillers here and there, but nothing important or entertaining because the main villain vanished after almost getting killed.
Then there were these stupid modern day filler episodes on Sora and just when I thought that was the lowest point, after that was the start of The Band of Seven arc. I believe it was in the late 90s and lasted until at least past 120.

Fuu actually looks 15 to me, as opposed to looking anime 15, which could alternatively look like real world 5 or 35.
Mugen is 19, Fuu is 15, and Jin is 20. I can't really remember if those are specifically mentioned in the show or not, though I feel like Fuu's gets mentioned.
Sounds rough. Well, I'll try enjoying it for what it is! I have a lot of nostalgia for the parts I saw (and "My Will" is probably my favorite anime ED ever) so I owe it to myself to see it through to the end, I guess.
So good
Oh yeah, the "Band of Seven" arc is pretty good. After that, it goes back to being slow paced with a bright spot every now and then.

Terry Bogard is saving anime.
Band of Seven runs from episodes 103 to around 126. It's the only part of the entire series that feels like a more traditional prolonged shounen story arc. Pretty much the entire rest of the series feels like aimless meandering around the countryside, resulting in storylines and plot advancement happening seemingly at random.
Which, to be fair, is pretty much exactly what they're doing.
Don't forget random Naraku trolling.
They really should have done more present day episodes, those were always aces.
Champloo production work is nice to see. Anime characters go through some crazy things in their 15s ~ early 20s. I wonder if impressions of the show would differ if we had to see a real 15 y.o. girl go through some of the things Fuu does. Would Mugen be able to come off as cool? Could Jin act as quiet and insightful, and get the same respect for these traits?

On the topic of Inuyasha, it's amazing how much elements of it's pacing don't bother me. Especially the stuff pre-Final Act. I'm quite happy with it as a "monster of the week" show with an overarching plot, and I never get the "WOULD SOMEONE JUST DO SOMETHING!?!" feel I get with Wun Peese or Nah'rue'tow.
Maybe it's because I don't feel as if Inu's character sandbag as much as those in O.P, and I feel like I know their limits better than those in Naruto. Miroku has a black hole in his hand, and they really made sure to always answer "why doesn't he just suck *evil* into the vacuum?!" pretty early in every conflict.
I think the One Piece Treasure Cruise mobile game does a better job at making me respect OP's story than watching it ever has, haha. Maybe because it's better paced? Or because it's filling in lots of under-appreciated / forgotten / glossed over details?

Y'all were right about One Punch Man. This show is fucking amazing.
It One Punches your heart.
I thought you watched it ages ago already.
Personally, I felt the best episodes came after BO7. 127-128 and 135 are highlights.
Damn straight.

I've always wonder why they didn't just break the jewel more in Inuyasha.
It's not like anyone on the team really seemed like they wanted to wish for anything after traveling for a while.
Why not just break it completely so Naraku couldn't do anything with it?

I'm guessing it was already shattered into a million pieces from Kagome's arrow in the beginning.
But really, I highly doubt that there was any way for any of them to dissolve it completely, even if they threw a piece into the lava or something, I dunno...
Stupid Baka Gajins can't hope to understand the glory of the Nippon Language! Nippon Ichi!
I'm guessing that's their rationale or something *shrug*

I just remember not being a fan of Inuyasha at all when it aired on Bionix back when I was a kid and only watched it because it aired before Gundam SEED.
Actually, why didn't ANYONE just destroy a few of the jewel shards so it couldn't be put back together again? Inuyasha could've hacked it up, Kagome could've pierced it with her arrows.
Break it even more so Naraku couldn't put it together & make it all evil. "mwahahaha I have all the piec...crap, no, there's a few more" & then he never finds them.

Miroku could have sealed a piece in his wind tunnel at any time but it is one of those narrative conveniences you gotta overlook to enjoy Inuyasha.
Yeah, I thought 3 and 4 were a lot better than 1 and 2.
Yup, mentioned that on the previous page. Hell, Miroku is pretty much the most OP character in the series that the authorr probably didn't realize it at first, so she had to think of ways for him to NOT use it.
Raxus check your PM's
Pretty much. It got kinda annoying after awhile.
Everything had Naraku's poisonous insects. The thing was since Wind Tunnel would ultimately consume Miroku all the author had to say was that Wind Tunnel had x number of uses and Miroku would have more reason to be hesitant to use it unless it was an emergency instead of writing such a stupid work around. Oh well.

In the Inuyasha universe, everything is poisonous.
A puppy demon could probably spray enough poison to stop the wind tunnel.
