I adore Sesshomaru's character, that remains the same no matter what. However, I abhor what Sunrise is doing to this fantastic character and I am disappointed in Rumiko Takahashi for giving this a green light. Therefore I am finding a bit of comfort in memes and jokes, there's nothing wrong with making something good out of a bad situation.
How about Sunrise had made a sequel not involving InuKag? If they wanted to lick Sesshomaru's behind so bad, they could have just... Let the beloved couple be. Perhaps? Just me? Ok.
The problem I have with Yashahime is not just how trashy and half assed it is, no, the problem I have with this garbage of a show is how disrespectful it is towards the OG elements/cast/themes I know there's people out there who enjoy it, who are oblivious to the drama some of us have willingly decided to dive into (for a good cause, btw) or they pay little to no attention- that's completely understandable.
Now, going back to my rant, Yashahime is disrespectful.
When the sequel was announced and it was revealed the story would swirl around Sesshomaru's daughters I was impressed, kinda disappointed too and confused as to why would he would even consider having children. Then came Moroha. I cannot put into words how much I enjoy seeing Moroha's face everywhere, in the episodes, the art, the memes, literally everywhere... And it was that way until episode 16. I watched Inuyasha when I was around 12/13 years old and fell in love with the series, and I can tell you (without a doubt) is my favorite anime- but seeing how this dumbass sequel has butchered the characters I grew up watching really guts me. "It's a cartoon, they're not real, don't be ridiculous" well yeah bruh, but I grew up watching them, they have impacted me in positive ways- just like Dragon Ball, Digimon, Ouran, the HP movies, Marvel... I grew up to those and so did many other people.
The OG went through so much shit to finally get the happy ending they so very much deserved, and what do we get as this story advances? A circus! InuKag are lost god knows where, Miroku is off training, Sango is just his wife apparently and they have one girl missing I- what?! Sesshomaru is off to another weird ass side quest, Rin is pickled in a tree! Bruh, let her be! She died twice already! The poor Kaede is still harboring children in her house that are not even hers, I don't know how she doesn't get a darned stroke. Shippo and Jaken have gone MIA. What's this shit?
Let's talk about the unsalted twins and sweet Moroha. The twins are bland, they apparently look like no one and the only real thing we know is Sesshomaru is the sperm donor, fudge any hints or Sunrise saying Rin's the mom cuz I ain't buying that. They are so boring, bring nothing to the table and their existence only produce more questions than actual answers. One would think because they're Sesshomaru's, ppl were gonna love them. HA. Moroha tho! Of course she will be beloved because of her parents, and the poor thing has had it like hell after birth. Fuck this show. Fuck the whole "Who banged Sesshomaru" mystery. I want InuKag to be reunited with their baby girl, I wanna know where's MirSan's other daughter, I wanna see Shippo trolling Inuyasha. I want this stupid show to end so I can forget about it and the scum it dragged along. Anyway, thanks for reading and I apologise if there's typos and such.
Are people shipping out of spite now? People saying dumb stuff like that, are you 5? Are you stomping on the ground for someone else's displeasures? Imagine being that kind of person. Chile anyways...
Ay yooo! Didn't Richard Cox get an ask here about the forbidden ship a while back and he replied with something like "it never happens"? Which takes me to this: there's VA's who are uncomfortable with the ship? If they're so uncomfortable with it and that's what's happening, wouldn't they had rejected the project from the start? Or am I being too naive?
