Why did Inuyasha have so many fangirls during the 2000s? Do girls really like the "wounded bad boy with a heart of gold" thing that much?

This was my first series into weebdom, honestly I only cared about Kikyo and Inuyasha mostly just Kikyou. She is literally the only reason to watch the series.
At the same time the series as a whole was my big thing when I was in middle School/high school

Cool, be my gf

Same as >186772424
I thought Kikyo was the coolest character in the series.

Good taste.

Yes. They really did. I for one, was the only one of my kind not watching this tripe.

Listen newfag.

Boys wore the t-shits back then, literally no girls talked about it.

Yes. And things haven't changed much, guys even have their female equivalents now like 02.

For me, it was the boomerang girl

Any guys who liked Inuyasha?

I liked him at the start, but he git pretty much neutered when it was revealed the entire story happened because of a fucking misunderstanding set up by Naraku

Read all the manga at my local library when i was young and I have pretty fond memories. I can imagine going back and watching it now would be too enjoyable.

Yes.

me and my 2 brothers would never miss an episode back when it was on toonami. good times.

I liked it

Not necessarily naraku only exist because onigumo had the hots for Kikyo, he fed himself to demons just because he thought maybe he could get Kikyo to fuck him or some shit, I don't know why he would think that would work.

Easy access to it on TV and it had cute guys with romance in it.

How did it end btw ?

God gets busted for having child porn, the world get shutdown.

Who fucking made this. I just want to talk!

Kagome is her own grandma end

It was okay but then dragged on

No thats the guy who made kenshin.

It's just a comfy show. It's not surprising so many enjoyed it.

With lots of babies.

I would sell my body for demons too.

Tits or GTFO

What did Inuyasha do to make him a bad boy

He is a typical hot headed shounen mc

In my experience, girls were more into Rurouni Kenshin than Inuyasha back then

You're not seriously questioning why a show with a bunch of hot bishounen kemono demon guys was popular with girls are you?

I'm surprised if anything how shounen Takahashi was able to keep the story

Of course. Inuyasha's great. It is a bit of a filler hell though even manga-wise.

Not me

They kill Naraku. Kikyo ded for real. Miroku and Sango make a lot of babies. Sango's bro gets Kirara. Kagome stays in the past with Inuyasha forever.

Closet furries

Still makes me mad.

I had 2 fat chicks who was always talking about inuyasha in high school.
I remember the school paper did an article asking why people liked anime and one of the girls say she liked Inuyasha because "Koga was smexy"
They actually published the word smexy.
I stopped reading the school newspaper

They had shit taste too

>Kagome stays in the past with Inuyasha forever.
Are you fucking serious

Good taste.

>a literal bag of dirt and earthworms molded into the shape of a woman implanted with a soul without the moral code or kind loving heart that made said soul beautiful in life

Easy on the Linkin Park albums, there user.
She was baked from literal regular soil and her ashes since Kikyo was cremated.
Also as the manga proceeded she reverted back to her ordinary self, the soul was the same as she was alive, only the body wasn't.

Not as bad as the Wolf Children ending.

Oh good lord the Hiei craze. Shit was insane.

>link park
Clearly you're too young to remember the days when Kagomefags were the ones saying Kikyo's vagina was filled with dirt and earthworms.

i want to be inuyasha so i can win the heart of a beautiful black haried girl like kagome

What a coincidence, so is Kagome's brain.

I was a furry WAYYY before Inuyasha, blame Krystal.... but it's a good show.

Yes. Because that's real life. Now

What's your point? That you're also a dumb fangirl who ignores canon facts?

Girls in general have a thing for the "tough guy with a heart of gold", al least in fiction.
Just look how popular characters like Bakugou or Levi are

>do girls like that
yeah, especially the aspect of an avarage girl self insert like kagome being the only person able to control an uncontrollable beast.
I ain't a girl so maybe I'm completely wrong, but I heard it from somewhere that that's why girls like vampires and pirates. cause it's dangerous men with a soft side for them or something.

Don't mind me, just passing by to say that Kikyo and Sango are best girls. Kikyo's case mostly because I'm a Noriko Hidaka fag, but whatever.

It was the first time I'd seen bare anime tits before, so I was immediately hooked after watching Kagome go for a nude swim. Plus the group as a whole was pretty fun and since I was a sporadic watcher the fact nothing happened wasn't a huge deal.

One of these days I'd like to it down and watch it from the beginning, but it's still pretty low on my anime backlog.

Please, girls didn't care about him.
It was us guys who watched it for him.

Stop posting, me!
And I'm not a girl!

Speak for yourself, I watched it for Shippo.

Best girls are kagura for fucking and rin for head pats

You got them mixed up.

>hurr look mom, i posted it again!

>They kill Naraku. Kikyo ded for real. Miroku and Sango make a lot of babies. Sango's bro gets Kirara. Kagome stays in the past with Inuyasha forever.

Did Rin and Seshomaru get married?

She was left at the human village with everyone but was mostly taken care of by Kaede.
He comes to visit her like a good father.

>He comes to visit her like a good husband.

Also reminder that wolf guy killed everyone in her village, and tried to kill her but they never faced any retribution for this.

btw, the Inuyasha world is a hellscape to live in since there's Yokai every god damn where and villages are attacked and destroyed every day.

There he is, everyone, like clockwork.

I swear inuyasha is what sparked my femdom fetish. The idea of a hot girl sternly telling me to sit was great

Imagine being THIS autistic

>btw, the Inuyasha world is a hellscape to live in since there's Yokai every god damn where and villages are attacked and destroyed every day.
I wonder what the hell happened to all those yokai anyways seeing how they are not in the modern era?

BOKU TACHI WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YOU LIAR. THERE ARE NO GIRLS ON THE INTERNET.

Did I travel back to 2008?

Yes. Literally nothing gets teen girl cunnies wetter than wounded bad boys with a heart of gold. Why do you think Twilight is popular?

Yup. Tits or GTFO faggot

I used to write horrible self insert fan fiction 15 years ago. Sue us.

Do we criticize you for liking “Moe nice girl who gives the loser a chance”?

>I used to write horrible self insert fan fiction 15 years ago
I still do that to this day. I'm not even a girl.

I was in love with Sess and still am. First and only husbando.

Yes

Sesshomaru a best
Kagome a shit

also 26 year old girl
I was a huge Miroku/Sango shipper and didn't really care much about Inuyasha himself

I only watched it because I watched any anime I could catch on television before internet piracy took off.

Bakugo doesn't have a heart of gold though, the dude is a complete asshole who just happens to want to defeat bad guys

>Do we criticize you for liking “Moe nice girl who gives the loser a chance”?
Yeah, you do. Except we're called incel virgins while you're just "quirky".

How can one group be this based

Three reasons:

1) It aired on an American cable TV channel just when anime was starting to get popular in the English speaking world.

2) The "normal" modern protagonist we're supposed to relate to is female.

3) Just as a lot of guys are suckers for cute monster/inhuman girl characters, a lot of girls are suckers for cute monster/inhuman guy characters, especially if they have animal or elf-like ears.

I forget the particulars, but the youkai are all wiped out during one of the last 2-3 chapters of the manga.

Have you seen the beginning? He was an edgelord in the first two episodes.

I once saw someone on here say
>Inuyasha is like a lot of anime, but there's no other anime like Inuyasha
and it's true. It has a ton of flaws, doesn't actually do anything particularly well in fact. Almost everything about it either already was or eventually became cliche, but it still somehow feels completely unique. I couldn't actually call it good, but it's certainly a part of anime history.

It's uniqueness is because it's a shoujo manga disguised as a shounen.

how is he so cool

So true.

Both him and Kikyo are the absolute coolest characters

She was my sexual awakening.

>Do girls really like the "wounded bad boy with a heart of gold" thing that much?
Yes.

Not to mention it's clear that Inuyasha is tsundere for Kagome, and she can control him. There's a lot of wish fulfillment.

Because he's more or less proto-Vergil, and almost any clone of Vergil is cool.

Bankotsu and Kagura were also pretty cool. Mirror loli too.

>literally no girls talked about it.
I'm sorry school was like this for you, I was friends with two who were more rabid fans than I was.

I liked it initially.

But then it just kept dragging on. Unlike Rumiko's comedy/slapstick series which can go on forever and be fun, melodramatic shows like Inu Yasha wear thing quite easily. Most of her best drama's are shorts or not very long.

I gave up on watching it middway, and never bothered with the manga. I'm glad it had a decent epilogue, however. Ranma never got one even though it needed it.

If I remember right from the show.
She controlled Inuyasha right?
She had some power passed down to her to be able to give him commands.
I remember her yelling sit and forcing him to the ground.
This was the power trip that girls wanted. Some bad boy that is super strong and his only weakness is her. The only person who could control the monster is her.

This is the same archetype that draws women to garbage like Twilight
Women are attracted to murderers and monsters of all kinds. Its why serial killers get love letters.

>Zero mention of Sesshomaru
Liar!

The thing is from a nowadays POV, Kagome is a utterly garbage protagonist who didn't even try to improve, change or get stronger. She forever stuck as a stupid, insecure tsundere who always became a dead weight whenever shit got real. Kikyo is what she could have become if she seriously tried.

Oh if only

There's been more criticism of that than there ever has been.

Kagome should've kept that outfit for the rest of the series, or at least cycle out different outfits between each visit to the present.

It's been fucking ages since I've seen the show, but I was under the impression that despite being Kikyo's reincarnation and despite learning how to use a bow...she was never going to be anything like Kikyo in personality.

Kinda why Inuyasha had all those hangups about what was essentially a zombie.

>Do girls really like the "wounded bad boy with a heart of gold" thing that much?

Yes, yes they do.
This is like an obvious and completely well known thing and has been for ages.
To the point it is parodied and people take it for granted so much some don't even believe it's true. But make no mistake it has and will always be true, it's just biological.
Generalizations, pattern, exceptions and free will aside this is generally a very attractive package for girls.
Almost the equivalent of the big breasted shy airhead for guys, it's just a very common popular type with timeless popularity.

Women idealize a male with multiple things to offer so they don't have to go through the trouble of compartmentalizing specific traits they want from multiple men.

So if they were to settle with one, they'd pick the one they felt needed saving, could fuck them like an animal, then treat them nice, but then treat them bad, but have money, but you could also take them to meet the parents, but then again not, but also that guy that ignores them, and that guy treats her like a princess, but then puts her in her place.

...Rather than the guy who just treats her nice as a basic state of mind.

The one year of my life that I was single, I was used by a slew of women as a pawn with which to fuck with other, lesser men/boyfriends (and if they weren't it was because I had a car o an apartment or money).

These guys would text or call them like "ayy yo gurl I luh you I wanna take you out and give you kisses an shie", sometimes even through poems and she'd read them to me as a joke and answer them while simultaneously commenting my semen was drooling out of her. One time an ex of one of these girls called, dude was an architect in Miami, set up, great job, his own house and when he asked her what she was up to she just went "Oh, I just fucked this guy" and the level of hurt coming from his voice on the other side was palpable. He literally had no other recourse, but to say "WWWW-Wa-Was he good?".

Ffs. That's why you settle with the first girl that doesn't want to fuck with you, but NEVER think she won't do a 180 turn on you one day.

Women are reptiles looking for reasons to fuck with you and gratify themselves. Never forget this.

Childhood is wanting to bang Kikyo because she was the hottest and had great nude scenes.
Adulthood is realizing was sexier, a better character and the superior wife of the show.

>This was my first series into weebdom, honestly I only cared about Kikyo and Inuyasha mostly just Kikyou.
Based. Kagome is a brat who treats Inuyasha like a literal dog when she doesn't get her way. Kikyo and Inuyasha are eternal.

Living in a society must've been tough.

Loved Sesshomaru also Miroku/Sango ship.

Too be fair he is a dog.

>I once had sex
Ok pal, sure you did, sure.

Of course it is?

Feeling introspective there, ladies?

Here's another one, you can never fully convince them that what they do is shitty. Coping mechanisms are REAL. They might change for a second, but it's fleeting. Never try to turn a ho into a housewife, lads.

Sesshomaru is right!
Hanyou are disgusting
Who would fuck a yokai ..
WTF fucked Jinenji's mother?

You know what I mean. The whole "Sit!" thing. Irritates me even now thinking about it, and I haven't watched the show in well over a decade.

Inuyasha is unironically one of the funnest rides there is. Rumiko isn’t rich as fuck for nothing.

>"Sit, boy!"
ftfy

Why is Kagome wearing a miniskirt?
She is in Feudal Era !!
Men like Miroku consider her a whore

3DPD is disgusting. What is new?

> Implying Miroku wouldn't make that the standard fashion if he had the power

Reminder that if Inuyasha had come out about 10 years later, Kagome would be a postergirl for femdomfags much like Shinka.

>Do girls really like the "wounded bad boy with a heart of gold" thing that much?
Yes.

Hey, old friend.

I liked it up to the point where I grew bored because it always followed the same pattern.
Ranma is pretty much the same character as Inu Yasha but the show is much more entertaining due to the comedy focus.

Why does Kagome stay in Feudal Era?
No hot water, no internet, no ramen and no medicine ..
She will die when she gives birth to a child

>Kagome would be a postergirl for femdomfags much like Shinka
Kagome is too much of a shoujo heroine for that.

Kagura or Kikyou would be much better femdom characters. Kagome is too weak, insecure and slave to bad-boy cock.

Jinenji a cute

Why the fuck does she shoot her bow backwards?

It looks cool.

>much like Shinka
I still have no idea why this happened. Do you know?

she loosens her grip on the bow, but she'll never loosen her grip on my dick

Kikyo is a frigid bitch

It's not personality, it's strength and competency. She didn't even try to fucking train.

Because bitch is stupid. She should have taken the dog to her home.

That's basically a set up for a Rumiko Takahashi comedy.
