Anime

Inuyasha was recently made into an anime. I began playing on 16th October 2000. The first opening song is called "Change the World" and is sung by V6, the second is "I am" by Hitomi. The first closing song is "My Will", sung by Dreams, while the second closing song was "Fukai Mori" by Do As Infinity (Fukai Mori means "Deep Forest"). As per usual there are slight changes in the story from the manga, however, it looks as though it's following the same basic story. Currenly an Inuyasha movie is scheduled for release sometime in 2001. Tape release information for the TV series is below ^_^
