Video:
I found some pixelations and some rainbowing in some scenes on the video, but other then that everything looked very solid. It's rather good animation shows.
Audio:
English was a little better then the japanese, but they are all there and fine.

Comment:
Packaging:
Prety good picture, but once again the set is annoyingly never using a full picture. They always reduce the size of the images, and then place if over their background. (think the inside of Fushigi Yuugi). The BG used for this is this soft kind of light plaster thing. Looks pretty cool, and it's been used on another one of their sets. The back provides screenshots, plus a series summary. Inside panels show more screenshots, and lists the episods. The inside-inside has four pictures, 3 of which have discs, 1 of which is identical to the front picture.
Oh, the front picture. Don't like it as much. When you look at it (not on the internet, but when it's in your hand,) it's low quality and kind of dull. They chose to use their own Inuyasha logo as opposed to the english logo, which is a good/bad situation.
Menus:
R1 ripped menus, and I can't even begin to tell you how much I liked them. I'll add screenshots later, I'm not even going to attempt to describle them. All of the menus were very good.
Extras
The extras are exactly the same on each DVD, except for the Line Art. There is Credits (bleh), Line Art, and Episode Previews (each DVD has the identical episode previews, it doesn't show new ones at all.)
So in otherwords, sucks. I don't know if there was more on the R1 and they didn't use them or what, but putting them on 3 times seemed stupid.
Content
I'm going to be honest here. I hate Rumiko Takahashi's mangas. All of them. I hate the horribly hideous art, dragged out storylines, and overall (what to me is) lack of creativity. Pretty much the same for every one of her anime's, but Inu yasha is the only one I can stand. The characters still look rather generic and plain, but not nearly as bad as the manga. I don't enjoy the show that much, but I can still watch it. by no means can I stand to watch over 150 episodes, but for this set, I think I'm good.
Some people complain it only has 18 episodes. That's cause it was this or wait two more months for R1's to come out. While most of you now would say you would have rather waited, simply because they would've been out right about now, but back then most everyone woulda just said "give it to me now".
Relativly good set in contents, near perfect in authoring. Honestly, their are about 50 series' I would reccomend before Inu Yasha, but I know some people will enjoy it.
