Warning: I have watched the whole series so there may be some spoilers about future episodes.
Episode one.
Who ever is in charge of continuity needs some help. First of all, the centipede demon scratched Kagome on her left side, however, later in the series, we see Kagome as a baby and the jewel looks to be closer to the middle of her chest. How on earth did it make it to her left side? Second, there is blood that comes out when the jewel is released from her body, as blood normally does when one is scratched. There should be blood on her shirt where the tear is. She also should have felt some pain, as the wound had to be deep enough to fit the jewel. After the attack though, there is no blood on the shirt and she doesn't seem to even notice that she got hurt. After being scratched like that and then being squeezed, there should be blood on her clothing.
This is just the first episode so I guess they are warming up.
Episode two and three
InuYasha may have a lot of suspense and action and sorts but it's also rather comical. I love that about this show. It can be serious, funny, suspensful, and heartwarming.
I find it interesting how well Kagome handles her situation. Suddenly she is in feudal Japan with demons and no phones or showers or shampoo or her family. She is suddenly hit with all this responsibility. She doesn't even know if she will be able to get back home and yet she doesn't cry or freak out, at least not till she goes back home. Of course for her, she probably learned all about this stuff in history class. I didn't. If it were me I would probably freak. It's still to early in the series to say much about the events or characters or to analyze it much.
Episode four
It's still too early to say much, but now we start seeing a bond slowly form between InuYasha and Kagome. The real question is, why did she not take a moment to explain to her family what she was doing before she went back into the well? Also, did anyone else notice that Kiate speaks stranger than anyone else?
Episode five
We meet Seshmaru. He is of great interest to me though I don't want to say too much and spoil the rest. It is made obvious to us right away that he cares not about the lies of the others. It is also made obvious that he hates his half brother. We see right away what kind of character he is. We see the two half-brothers bickering and we learn about their father and InuYashas mother. Seshomaru shows himself to be quite cruel using InuYashas dead mothers spirit to torture InuYasha. However it shows that he is able to bring back souls though we don't learn how until later.
Kagome also brings a bike to feudal Japan. Now how the hell does that work. There were no bikes back then. One would think such an item would be a bad idea to introduce to that time.
We also meet Mioga in this episode. In fact this episode does a lot of explaining and introducing of new characters.It is also interesting that in the beginning of the series we see Kagome in various outfits but then later she is almost always in her school uniform.
