, I read "Shippo" instead of "Sango". Gawd! I liked how the series completely emasculated Miroku. Either he wouldn't use his wind tunnel or there was always something poisonous around to be sucked on in.
I liked the Tank. The Shichinintai were actually a semi-high point in the series IMO because we got Brian as Renkotsu and stuff looked like it was happening. And then it stopped.
I remember telling Merla that it probably would've been a better series if it had just been Inuyasha and Sango traveling, and everyone else was peripheral. Kagome and Shippo are annoying and Miroku was severely neutered and underused. Many episodes could've been condensed or eliminated. Why waste the money? :\
The jewel thing is old. The Kikyo being alive thing got old. The Naraku being alive (I'm suppose to believe a half-demon is that strong) and very lamely and effortlessly manipulating everything is stupid. The "sit" thing is annoying and stale. I read the manga sporadically and didn't read anything past the Shichinintai, but I'm sure it's just Rumiko Takahashi whittling away at an idea until its half-dead again. The first season or so and the batch of specials of Ranma 1/2 are funny. And then it just gets sad. Ranma and Akane don't even get married at the end. R I P O F F.
