I'm sensing a pattern.
I don't know what the topic says, how do you imporve something?
Kagome and Sango in some yuri action. Other than that, I don't know. To "improve" something you have to add some stuff and take some away. You could take away the drama and add more action, but then it wouldn't be Inuyasha. You could take away the action, but then it wouldn't work for the US audience and we wouldn't be able to see it unless we dished out $30 for a DVD of a boring shoujo anime. (I doubt I used that right. I'm not Karl for christs sake.)
If I had to add anything to it, I would make Kagome bring back a handgun or a shotgun to the past. That would be fun.

If I could change one thing, I would shut Kagome up. Not all the time, just reduce the times she says INUYASHA! Every other word out of her mouth is Inuyasha. He could sneeze and the first thing she would say is his name. It just gets irritating after a while. That is the one thing I would change.

Do you have to do this for every single show that airs on CN?

Hmm...I'd probably kill off at least one of the main characters, send Shippo back home (he's USELESS! We have enough commentary!), probably make it so there are no more flashbacks ever again (WE KNOW WHO KIKYO IS!), and add much more pointless nudity.
Okay, so I was joking on that last one.
...
Or was I?

For starters: no "Kagome in present time" moments/episodes after the first episode.

Less semi-Soap Opera drama.
More modern time stuff.
Less "Find the Jewel".
More "Actually Move The Plot".

It's not even that I mind the tween soap opera element. Its that it's the same soap/relationship issues over and over.
But remove that, and you remove one of the main foundations of the series. :shrugs:

I would have had Naraku killed off by episode 60. Granted he is an interesting villian but it's just insane how powerful he becomes as the series progresses. A villian who outwits the hero everytime is just boring, and it weakens the freshness of the series greatly.
This same problem can be applied to a lot of the other plot threads in the series, namely the Kikyo/Inuyasha/Kagome love triangle.

Have Kikyou actually stay dead, and get rid of anime filler. There, the only two problems with the series are fixed.

You know, I always thought it would be better if she was trapped in the past somehow. Like a Fushigi Yugi story. It just seems kind of weird that she can go to the present whenever she wants. I mean, I have to assume since the well is always close by that they're travelling in circles around the well and never really going anywhere, yet they somehow keep finding new villages and stuff. It doesn't make much sense to me.

now that i think about it you're right. the well always seems to be right there. hmm....wait aren't there about three more threads just like this one?:confused:

It would be boring always showing them travel back, although they do branch out fairly far and then return because the village near their well is kind of like their home base.

Kagome and Sango in some yuri action.XD Funniest thing I've read today. But, agreed. *cough*
I'd improve it by the envoirment. I mean, do they take a new route every time? What I mean is, how do they get to place where there is one well? This isn't an overworld in a vidoe game.

I don't like Inuyasha, but I would watch it if they got rid of Kagome and most of the other cast and turned it into the Miroku Pimping Half-Hour. :p

Step 1) Cancel Inuyasha.
Step 2) Replace it with Rumic Theater.
Step 3) Profit.

I would kill off Shippo, because he is completely useless.
I would have all the characters fighting, not just Inuyasha.
I would progress the story faster.
I would have had Kikyo stay dead.
I would have Naraku fight more, instead of acting like such a pansy and have others fight for him.
I would stop the damn flashbacks. I don't know how many times during the anime it is explained, '50 years ago, yada...yada. Naraku, blah...blah', it's very annoying having seen almost all the episodes of Inuyasha.
That seems like a lot I would change and it seems like I don't like the show, but I do and that's why I would change so many things. Inuyasha is a good show, but does have faults like any other show.
Other than the excessive flashbacks,and most of the filler episodes(i.e. non-manga;the only filler I've liked so far was the one with the thunder demon girl and her pet dragon),I like the show as is....

End the show when Kikyo gave Naraku the Shikon shards after she purposely got captured by Naraku. Honestly, the first 52 episodes were the best and now I wished that they'd stop it there instead of going through all the crappy flashbacks.

A little less filler episodes. Other than that, the show is fine.

Less filler, of coarse. Also I'd like to see the other characters fight instead of sitting on the sidelines making commentaries while poor Inuyasha gets his ass kicked! They all can fight; they should help him out! :mad:
Also, I wish the Mojo Jojo style dialogue would stop. The Shiori episode was nearly unwatchable because of scenes like this:
-Kagome: Inuyasha sypathises with Shiori because she's a half demon, like he is. Inuyasha's mother was a human and his father was a demon.
-Miroku: Yes, and because they're both half demons, they are shunned by the humans in their villages
-Sango: And they are rejected by both demons and humans because of their half demon state. That is why Inuyasha sympathises with Shiori.

1.) Get Inuyasha to kill Naraku. Naraku is getting old.
2.) Have a new main villain.
3.) Get Kagome to shutup about Naraku got Kikyo and Inuyasha to betray each other. WE GET IT ALREADY!!!

I would go back in time and tell the producers that only 2 movies and 52 episodes would be funded so they better do it right hehe! :)

Have Naraku die & replace him with a villian who isn't afraid to fight by himself.

cancel Inuyasha are you crazy:confused: it a awsome show but with alot of fault like if was I: I will make the band fight instead of Inuyasha doing all the work, erase a little the blackclash wave who come to fast in the action, make Kikyo dead saying to inuyasha "I love you", get kagome word "Inuyasha" less and less make shippo a little bit braver instead of hidding always and make naraku fight by himself ressently instead of command kagura what to do.

Inuyasha is a good show as it is. Well...at least it WAS. Later on, it gets really repetitive.
Have Inuyasha use the wind scar less. ALOT less. Dude, we know you have infinite use over it but damn ...:sad:
Less love triangle! Inuyasha-Kagome-Kikyou thing just sucks. Sorry, but I hate all of the pointless crap that ensues cause of this thing.
Less or better yet NO Kikyou in general. But hey, this is more personal preference then improvement.:p
Less filler. This gets especially bad later on and now we are even starting a mini-arc of FILLER!:mad:
There is more I might get to later if I feel like it...

I understand why a lot of people are mentioning filler episodes, but they are a necessity a lot of the time. I would rather have filler story lines in the anime, than have the anime go off in a completely different direction than the manga. I'm not saying I enjoy all the filler episodes, but they don't really hurt the series, IMO.

I would have less mindless babble during fights with Kagome, Miroku, and Sango and actually have them partake in the battles. I know Inu Yasha has his pride about doing everything himself, but it wouldn't hurt to see the other three fighting as well sometimes.
Flashbacks are a minor issue to me and sometimes its important to clue late-comers in on the action, so if I had a choice they would only be scaled back a tad.

Put an end to Naraku and his many incarnations once and for all. And I wouldn't miss Kikyo, either, if she went back to her eternal rest.
I'm curious to see how this Panther Devas storyline plays out, esp. since they're also after Sesshomaru, and he may have to join forces with Inuyasha.
