So this is more of a spin off than a sequel. But it holds true to the format and spirit of Inuyasha. There are some "filler" episodes (like in Inuyasha) and Moroha can be too predictible-sort of like the lecherous monk Miroku gags. Still, I'm hooked. Animation and characters are closely linked to the original in ways Inuyasha fans will pick up on, such as a grown up Shiori.
