The only prob with this is, as I understand, the Japanese culture doesn't view it the same way we do. Americans who see nudity are more likely to automatically put a sexual connotation to it. In most cases, (of what I've seen of Inuyasha) it's only fanservice if you're looking at it that way (at least, as far as I can remember...O.o)...

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Well...as long as we're talking in terms of non-sexual nudity...what about all the classical/renaissance type art? It had tons of nudity. Of course, they weren't American either, buuuuut...no one's arguing about that; people see it as a classic work.

Oh yes! And some people are definitely convicted not to watch it; they should always follow what God tells them, of course. I happen to feel comfortable with Inuyasha, myself, but everyone should definitely be careful and if God tells them they're getting a little too close to something, they should bail out!

I do agree with that. There are some elements that require a certain level of maturity to watch properly. And I'm glad we could come to a level of agreement.

I personally enjoy Inu-Yasha a great deal. Yes, there is nudity but I think you would be hard pressed to find any anime/manga without nudity or illusions to nudity. It's an entirely different culture. Would God read manga? I would sorta like to think he would. He's gotta have a sense of humor right? I could totally see him kicking back and enjoying a little comic misadventure.
I do agree that the nudity takes a certain level of maturity. You have to get passed the "oh look boobs" teenager stage. Boiled down its really just a comic element nothing more. When reading comics I don't feel the need to take it to a deeper level than that. I'm a girl, I have boobs, I really don't mind I guess, nothing new to me.
Routing it back to Yasha.....Totally dig Rumiko's work. I started watching Ranma back in the day. My sisters and I own almost all of the Ranma manga and Inu-Yasha, I just bought the first book of Maison Ikkoku.
Oh about Viz's new covers, ACK! Only because they no longer match the rest of my books. I have all the old ones then they changed them on me mid-way through Ranma, Yasha, and X/1999.
I wanted them all to match!

Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

Inuyasha is cool. For the one who said that it made them feel weird, I can understand that. I was a bit uncomfortable watching it at first because of the demonic content in it, but I just had to realize it was just pretend and all. I only have one manga and only watch it because I like Sango . . . YAY SANGO, and of course Kirara! 
I mean, I wouldn't buy it because of the initial weirdness, but I buy the mangas with Sango in it because she is cool. Otherwise, IY is a good show with the characters and all but the demonic stuff is creepy.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

The manga is different from the show. Oh by the way, does anyone watch it in japanese? cause I can't find it in english. (subtitles) 
I wonder how it sounds in english... ( Inu-Yasha's the best! )

Almost all the InuYasha I have is in japanese w/ english subtitles. If you want to hear it in english, watch it on Cartoon Network or buy the DVDs.
On the Manga, from reading the 1st volume and flipping through others, it seems it follows the anime quite closely. The anime does seem to go past the currently available english mangas, but I don't see much variation.

I've heard from my kids that the anime is probably one of the closest to keeping with the manga than most.^^

it's better than many manga/animes, though i prefer the manga since it's prettier...

I agree, with the manga I have and that I have seen the show, I think it is pretty much exactly the same!

The show is just full of those fun filler eps, hence why I stick to the manga. I too watch it all Japanese with the subs. Inu-yasha's Ranma-esque voice is too good to pass up.
