Description: With their greatest foe seemingly defeated, Inuyasha and his friends begin to return to their lives. But their short period of peace is once again shattered as a new enemy begins to emerge. Kaguya, the self-proclaimed Princess from the Moon of legend, begins a plan to plunge the world into a perpetual night of the full moon. Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Shippo must once again unite to face the new threat.
Amazon.com: Like the first Inu-Yasha feature, Affections Touching Across Time, The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass pits the regular cast against a new foe: Kaguya, who claims to be the legendary Moon Princess. Series creator Rumiko Takahashi mixes Eastern and Western elements in this supernatural tale: Kaguya's symbol is the pentacle, associated with magic in Europe. Like the Princess in the Japanese fable "The Tale of the Bamboo-Cutter" (also called "The Maiden from the Sky"), Kaguya demands bizarre magical objects, which Kanna and Kagura fetch. The supernatural battles don't prevent Kagome and Inu-Yasha from squabbling or Miroku from making yet another ill-considered pass at Sango. Ultimately, the unacknowledged love they share enables Kagome and Inu-Yasha to defeat Kagura, and their warm moments recall the unexpected gentleness of the OVA "The Two Akanes: 'Ranma, Look at Me!'" from Takahashi's most famous creation, Ranma 1/2.

A good movie for the Inuyasha franchise The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass is the second theatrical film for the Inuyasha franchise. The film takes place between episodes ninety-five and ninety-six of the anime series.
The film opens with Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo defeating Naraku. At first, there is doubt that Naraku has actually been defeated, but enough evidence comes to light to make the group believe that Naraku really is gone. Kagura and Kanna, the two remaining incarnations of Naraku, free Kaguya from a mirror, and Kaguya begins to wreak havoc on feudal Japan. There are many surprises in store for our heroes during the course of the film.
There are six special features on the DVD. First, there are Japanese trailers for The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass; however, the audio is only in Japanese, and there are no subtitles included. There are also two trailers for the third Inuyasha film, but there is only Japanese audio and no subtitles.
There is a Line Art Gallery, which is split into two sections: Characters and Art Design. In the special features, there is also a Japanese television special that was aired beofre the film opened in theaters. There is a top thirty countdown of Inuyasha-related things, which incorporates scenes from the anime series, as well as preview scenes from the film. Puppets of some of the characters are used occassionally to tell parts of the countdown. The final two extras are ads for the graphic novels (manga and animanga) and the Inuyasha trading card game.
Overall, The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass is an excellent film. In some respects, I think it's better than Affections Touching Across Time. This DVD should be in the collection of anyone who appreciates the Inuyasha anime series.
Love this one The Inuyasha Book set is the perfect present for any Inuyasha fan. Worth every penny to have all four inuyasha movies and sound tracks for each movie. I love the wooden box it comes in. Its just made so nice. I was amazed when i got mine in the mail. Out of all the Inuyasha items I've bought this is my favorite.
Very Exciting My daughter is a avid InuYasha fan. She totally loves the tv episodes and the movies. Great movie to sit down with the entire family and watch
VERY complete boxset! This is a very nicely put together boxset. Perfect for any fan. I've uploaded some pictures to give everyone an idea as to what's inside.
The set comes in a wooden box. The box comes complete with all 4 movies and their accompanying. A pamphlet shows the movie chapters. There's an additional little booklet with the music tracks listed, info on instruments, and music credits.
Very nice indeed. It would make a wonderful holiday gift this year.
**Keep in mind, while it is expensive, the set does contain all 4 movies and the 4 soundtracks. Furthermore, keep in mind that it is just about impossible to find the soundtracks individually, new, or at a decent price. This deal is your best bet and guaranteed to make any Inuyasha fan happy. :)
One of the better movies Inuyasha movie 2 gets better to me everytime I watch it. Even though I did notice a hole or 2 in the movie. I still enjoy it more than the first and each time I see it. I don't believe its perfect. It does have its flaws. Movie 3 was perfect.
This one opens up with the gang hot on Naraku's heels. Its a very good opening battle that ends with his death. Suddenly everything goes back to normal. Almost everyone spilts up and go they're seperate ways. A new threat arises in the form of Kaguya. A celestial being with awesome powers. She then recruits Naraku's female incarnations.
Unlike the last movie this one has a much better plot. It still consist of the same formula. The romance scenes between Inuyasha and Kagome. But this time I didn't find it that overdone like in the last movie. It still maintained its comedy but it was serious for the most part. Kaguya to me was a very interesting character and I feel she was a bit wasted. Kaguya would have fit in perfect in the series as another major villian. She was a very tough enemy. The final battle was very good with a big twist.
The animation to me seemed like a step up from the TV series and the last movie. The soundtrack was ok. It contained the same tracks from the series, except for one song in Inuyasha and Kagome's scene.
Overall movie 2 was very good and did not seem like a very long episode. This actually felt like a movie, unlike the first one. I believe a vast majority of Inuyasha fans would enjoy this. To me its the second best of the movies.
