Posters for InuYasha
1. InuYasha ("犬夜叉") is the name for a Japanese manga and anime series.
I first came across InuYasha when the anime was broadcasted on Canada's YTV TV channel between 2003 and 2006.
The anime premiered in Japan between 2000 and 2004.
There are 167 episodes to the original TV anime.
A 26 episodes season called InuYasha: The Final Act was premiered in Japan in 2009 to wrap-up the series.
"The series spawned four anime films which feature original plot." ("InuYasha", Wikipedia)
I have watched all the TV episodes and two of the anime films.
The English dubbing of InuYasha was done here in Vancouver and it was very nicely done.
2. There are about 30 original songs associated with InuYasha:
