The four Inu-Yasha theatrical features pit the cast of Rumiko Takahashi's "feudal fairy tale" against new foes: The search for the shards of the Shikon Jewel falls by the wayside as Kagome, Inu-Yasha, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango tackle these supernatural enemies. In Affections Touching Across Time (2001), the moth-demon Menomaru seeks to reclaim the powers of his father, who was defeated by Inu-Yasha's father during the attempted Mongol invasion of 1274. The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass (2002) evokes the Japanese legend "The Tale of the Bamboo-Cutter," when Kaguya appears, claiming to be the legendary Moon Princess. Swords of an Honorable Ruler (2003) reveals that Inu-Yasha's father, the Great Dog Demon, possessed not two but three swords: Tetsusaiga, Tenseiga, and Sounga, which are linked to Earth, Heaven, and Hell, respectively. When the Sounga is accidentally freed, its aura raises the soul of Takemaru, the samurai who murdered Inu-Yasha's mother. The villains in Fire on Mystic Island (2004) are the Four War Gods, powerful demons on the island of Houraijima, who preserve and augment their power by sacrificing half-demon children. The later films are darker and more violent, although the directors balance the mayhem against familiar comedic elements, especially Kagome and Inu-Yasha squabbling. The features all reflect larger budgets than the television series, as the filmmakers employ a variety of CG effects: explosions, lightning bolts, insects, monsters, and strangling tree roots. Affections Touching Across Time stands out as the handsomest of the films, with designs that suggest the woodblock prints of Kawase Hasui. The set includes CDs of the movie soundtracks and a booklet on the traditional Japanese instruments they feature, although more information on composer Kaoru Wada would have been nice. A must-have for Inu-Yasha fans. (Rated Teen: suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol use, risque humor) --Charles Solomon

 Absolutely Worth the Money!!! September 7, 2007

This review is from a die-hard Inuyasha fan and I have to say that this is one of the best deals that VIZ has released yet. If you do not own any of the four Inuyasha films, then this is the perfect time to get them, from the most reliable source available (being VIZ of course). Each individual movie goes for about $20-25 and with this being only $30 come on that is a freakin' steal! Even if it is not purchased on Amazon, and on VIZs' own website (for like $50 or something) it is still worth all of your money! All four films are in this box set with a foldout of the scene selections of each film, quite nicely set up. The quality is top notch, another thing to expect from VIZ and the features that come with each film are really worth this... special footage, trailers, dual languages, different sound capabilities... this has it all! Highly recommended!!!
What a great deal! November 5, 2007

This is such a great deal considering that each movie sold on it's own is about $15. You get all 4 movies for $30, with some fun extras and the options of watching in Japanese or English. There is another movie box set out there that is much more expensive and the only difference is a set of soundtrack CDs. The soundtrack is pretty impressive, but wasn't necessary for my personal use.
The movies themselves are fun - much like longer filler episode arcs with interesting villains and story lines. It's not meant to help the Naraku storyline progress, but you'll be in for some fun (especially if, like me, you've already watched the InuYasha TV episodes multiple times and are looking for something new and fun starring your favorite dog demon and Japanese school girl.)
The animation is different from the TV show - to me the characters look more "cutesy" but my husband, who is not that interested in the InuYasha series, enjoyed watching some of the major battle scenes and thought that the battle sequences were animated better.
Now all we have to do is wait for that final end-all fifth InuYasha movie, and we'll all be happy. :)
