InuYasha, The Movie 3 - Swords of an Honorable Ruler

Out of all 4 of the Inuyasha movies, this is the last one i've seen. I'd been told that this movie was the best of the bunch. After purchsing it I was not dissapointed at all. As far as the four movies go, this is one of the best, although my preference still puts Movie 2: Castle behind the looking glass out on top. But this movie has top-notch animation, a pure evil brilliantly played villain and it always keeps you on the edge of your seat.I have always been a large fan of Inuyasha. Its one of my favourite anime's of all time. But i myself was disappointed with movie 1. This movie is top notch compared to it though. The first thing to mention is that Sesshomaru, one of the greatest Inuyasha characters finally takes a large role in the movie, unlike taking bit parts in the previous two. This is because the movie revolves around the 3 swords of the fang that Inuyasha's father created, and the battle for Inuyasha and Sesshomaru to destroy the Sounga, the Sword of Hell and the 3rd sword of their fathers. This also leads to a lot of detail of the back-story of Inuyasha'a birth and the love of his parents, a plot that i have been wanting to see for a very long time.The film is also presented in a graphically beautiful and impressive style. Whether its the villains hideout or the passgeway to hells grim, foreboding look, or the quaint peacefull look of the modern era, the lighting and deep coloured visuals helped portray the correct settings and moods during the movie. The action itself never lets up, it feels brilliantly paced through one fight scene, to another and the plot interwoven nicely in between.However, every silver lining has a cloud, and not all is perfect, but most is. The music is mainly well created and orchestrated, however vocal tracks like the ending songs are subpar compared to other Inuyasha songs. The voice acting for the dub is also of high quality for the key chacters, however if you get down to some of the secondary roles, such as the spirit of Sounga's sheath and Kagomes schoolfriends, the voices can make you want scratch your ears off.Also if you're a fan of other character plots, such as Sango and Miroku, there is nothing here for you. This movie (and its not a problem) focuses on the dog demons and how they must work together to overcome the Sounga. But this movie does give Miroku, Sango and Shippo backseat roles primarily used in lengthening the fight scenes, although Miroku does have a touching moment of near sacrifice for Sango's sake.If I had to choose a favourite between movies 2 and 3, i'd still go with movie 2, but this one is close to perfect that if you are an Inuyasha fan who does not own this, you are missing out on a classic pice of Japanimation. Rectify this immediately people! This movie, overall is too good to miss

This installment of the series had a lot going for it. Every scene was beautifully concieved and animated, and storyline is darker and much gorier then Inuyasha has gone before. Keeping this in mind, the first half shows a lot of promise. It's when Sounga gains a new host that the movie really starts to slow down. This has been hailed as "the" big fight between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. I enjoy seeing them fight as much as the next Inuyasha fan, but we get to a point where every scene is them fighting and has very little to do with Sounga. I understand they're trying to convey that the brothers simply will not get along, but it's 1 hour and 45 minute movie, and seeing the same thing over and over and over within that time is kind of annoying. The same goes with the fight scene at the very end. The Backlash Wave doesn't work once, okay, maybe that's a fluke. It doesn't work twice, maybe you need to consider a different attack, not do it three more times and hope it works. Inuyasha may not be the brightest thing there is, but he's not that stupid. And the overall plot with Izayoi's spurned lover is kind of confusing toward the end. If he didn't resent her, why did he kill her in the first place?I'll be honest, the fact that this didn't have Naraku in it knocked this one down a peg or two in my book (however, excessive use of zombies really made up for that). While the visuals were stunning, this one simply didn't grab me like the first and second movies did.

Inuyasha is a great anime. It has 4 movies. I have yet to see the fourth movie, but of the first 3, this is my favorite and it will be tough to beat. The third movie focuses on Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's relationship, or lack there of, with their father and his swords which he handed down to them.This movie explains how Inuyasha's father met his end and reveals a secret. Inuyasha's father had 3 swords. He gave the sword of heaven which can save 100 lives with one swing to his older son, Sesshomaru. This sword is called the Tenseiga. He gave the sword of earth which can be used to vanquish 100 foes in one swing and in doing so defend mankind to his younger son, Inuyasha. This sword is called Tetsusaiga. His last sword was the sword of hell and was capable of plunging the entire earth into hell. This sword was called the Sounga.Inuyasha's father banished the sword Sounga after his death, but in Kagome's time the sword was released from its seal. Now Inuyasha and Sesshomaru must stop the rampaging Sounga before it carries out its mission and destroys all mankind. Only by using both the Backlash Wave, Tetsusaiga's Ultimate technique and the Dragon Strike, Sesshomaru's technique which he can use with the Tenseiga together can the Sounga be destroyed, but can these two siblings work together long enough to discover victory?This movie is wonderful in that it explains much of Sesshomaru's past and why he does the things he does. Sesshomaru's development in this movie is wonderful and all the other characters are not to be missed. The show may be called Inuyasha, but in my opinion Sesshomaru steals the show in the wonderful movie!

I was so excited to get this as it was the final piece for my collection. Really disappointed when I opened up the bag it was delivered in to find a massive break in the DVD case, thank goodness the disc isn’t damaged but still really disappointing considering I bought it ‘new’ for my collection.
