InuYasha

So we can talk about this here right? If not I'm really sorry.

I've been a fan of this series for almost a decade now and I think it's time I actually bought some stuff.

However I'm confused about a few things.

1. What are these "Deluxe Editions"?

ield-keywords=inuyasha+deluxe

For Season 1 and 3 it seems to include necklaces (I'm gussing it's Inu's Beads and Kagome's Jewel Shards since I've seen them for sale individually on Amazon) but I don't see anything special about the other seasons.

2. I wanted to save some oney and just buy two seasons off ebay.

But this doesn't tally with what Amazon says about Season 1 and 2. There are supposed to be five discs per season set and the cover art looks diferent too.

So I'd just appreciate any help people here who own these sets can give me.

All of the deluxe editions come with a memento. Each season is different and they range from rubber stamps to a wristwatch to a figure of Inuyasha. The two season set you saw on eBay is an English-only dub that was marketed in Great Britain. I don't know how it found its way here.

You would be better off lurking on amazon or deepdiscount or rightstuf until they run a sale. The normal box sets go for $20-25 a season then.

Thank you very much for your reply. I just went ahead and bought the Inuyasha Movie Collection that comes with the wooden box and all four soundtracks. I've never seen teh films before so I thought it was a pretty good deal.

Although, I have another question. Does Viz release Blu-ray stuff? I noticed that FUNi has re-released DBZ stuff on Blu-ray and I was looking up the first volume of the Fairy Tail anime and saw that it came with a Blu-ray combo pack.

So I figured if they can do that, why not Viz with Inuyasha?

The original Inuyasha series was distributed in 640 x 480 resolution.  It would have to be reprocessed and upconverted for blu-ray and there would be no gain in resoultion.  Also, there would be black bars to the left and right of the picture because the format was 4:3.  However, the new series, Final Act, was released as true HD in Japan and will most likely have a blu-ray version available.

Although the Japanese DVDs were only released as 720 x480 pseudi hi-def.  The Black Tessaiga OVA was available in a blu-ray version, though; but that was only 1 episode.

The regular boxsets on Amazon are between $30-40 dollars a season, so that's like a 3rd of the price of the deluxe editions... I'm pretty sure they only come with the necklaces etc... so no more extras on the discs than the regular editions... I would stay away from ebay in general, especially if they're selling the whole series/multiple seasons for like $20 bucks... Though like doxie said, the ones you linked are the dub only sets...
