| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Incest across time, not bad. A bit confusing considering that the young Suzu and the older version were in the same place and at the same time. |
 |
| No incest since they were never related in the first place. |
| I thought this was pretty okay, nothing out of this world or anything but it is nice to see essentially super prototype Inuyasha. |
| The whole "incest" thing kinda weirded me out a bit. One could argue that they may not be blood-related, but it's still kinda weird. It was an average OVA. Not flat out horrible, but nothing great either. Ironically, it's still better than garbage like Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku though. |

| BUT SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER ME: WERE THEY BROTHERS? |

| Usually, I'm not the biggest fan of older films/OVAs like this, but I actually found myself enjoying this OVA more than most pieces of animation from its time period. It was almost like a mystery movie, albeit a very simple one. It was fun making the connections like Suzuko was. I didn't see Shukumaru being Shu coming at all. The animation wasn't that bad and it had some decent tracks in its OST. Voice acting was just as bad as most voice acting in the 80s was, though. I can see myself recommending this to people, especially ones that are fans of other Takahashi Rumiko works. 6/10 |

| Looks a bit dull. It was so predictable I knew who is who almost immediately. Interesting idea though, moderately enjoyable |

It was an okay OVA with an interesting plot but it wasn't that good overall. Side note: That gas explosion would have flattened much of that city considering the size of the containers. Certainly more so than what was shown anyway. |
| Hey, i have met you only a few days ago but let's go back to the Sengoku Jidai period, get marry and enjoy a life of war, poverty, hunger, and disease instead of staying in 1990 Japan!! |

| This feels like an 80s version of inuyasha |
 |
| The subplot of this was pretty weird to think about nonetheless a pretty good plot twist in a way. |
| I didn't expect to hate this going into it, but this is a contender for my least favourite anime movie now. This movie was pretty horrible (and disgusting). I wonder when I'll find a Rumiko thing I actually enjoy somewhat. |
| Indeed felt like an 80's Inuyasha. Was pretty nice for a 45min run, however, aside from clarification issues, there were two major drawbacks due to the length 1) It lacked impact 2) Suzuko's decision to leave her life behind just wasn't cogent |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I really liked this one. The musick was great! Characters and plot resemble proto-Inuyasha. It was a nice romance story! |
| Very enjoyable short story. It'd be cool if they made this into a long-running series... oh wait, they already did. I saw "proto Inuyasha" being thrown around regarding this OVA a lot and I guess it's correct. There are a lot of things that are common except for the strong Japanese folklore or mythology present in Inuyasha. Seems like Takahashi-sensei toyed with the idea of a time-traveling schoolgirl for quite a while. Glad she got the chance to write what she wanted with Inuyasha. But maybe in an alternate universe, Takahashi continued writing Fire Tripper... I was wondering that Suzuko's voice sounded familiar and she was voiced by none other than Sumi Shimamoto! Of course, she voiced Kyoko Otonashi from Maison Ikkoku and Asuka Mizunokoji from Urusei Yatsura! Akauma was also voiced by Genda Tesshou who voiced Rei from Urusei Yatsura. It's very short but it didn't overstay its welcome. I think this was pretty good, if not a bit dated. There is one thing that carried over from Fire Tripper to Inuyasha though. |

| Rape in the first ten minutes. Dropped. |
'Dreams Start by Believing' ~ Haruhi Suzumiya |
| those plot twists were something, one of the better 80s ovas |
 |
| it could end with her giving birth to twins and they disappearing on a fire and then in the end it was her and her husband because why not lol |
 |
| Really a great plot twist in the end, overall it was a good OVA, Suzuko chose the wrong choice, they could've had stayed in the present and live a better life; I'll give it an 8 because of it uniqueness, I hope the other 2 Rumic OVAs are the same if not better. |
