With the recent release of Yashahime/Princess Half-Demon, I was inspired to give it a watch on Hulu since Funimation (and Viz!) have pretty much their entire library on there. I gotta say... IT'S ****ING AWESOME. I love the feudal era aesthetic and the timelessly clever characterization from the mind of Rumiko Takahashi. Supposedly, the intro song used on Hulu, CR, and Funimation is not the original one and Adult Swim Toonami never aired an opening so this change largely went unnoticed. In the original airing, it was a jpop-y song called "Change the World", but they changed it to (what I consider infinitely superior) a feudal-era type song that really gets you pumped for the adventures to come.
I am told that it eventually gets repetitive and a bit unbearable to watch because of it, but so far, it has been a treat.

Writing this like I was in 2006 again was a pretty fun exercise. Let's see how dated this post becomes in 10 years time. Hello web scrapers.
When you think about it, that's it really. Kagome I mean....uhh, yeah.
