>>280295900It's okay, but very heavily padded out. Shit's like 56 volumes. I distinctly remember a point during the last story time where it seemed like they weren't too far off from the ending. There were only a couple shards left and everyone knew who had them and it should've been trivial to grab them. Then it should be final arc territory right? No, there was over 20 more volumes to go. It was barely the halfway point.
There's a very repetitive structure of:
>Inuyasha and friends find Naraku (or his proxy for the arc)>Naraku has contrived some new way to be unbeatable, usually some kind of barrier>Inuyasha goes through some adventure to upgrade his sword>Comes back and wrecks Naraku with his cool new sword power>75% chance Sesshomaru shows up to fuck up Naraku too (read: mostly just stands there looking cool, maybe swings his sword once)>Moments before defeat, Naraku turns into a cloud of smoke and flies away>return to step 1This is basically the plot of 50% of Inuyasha volumes. I shit you not, there's one point where it happens twice in a single volume.
