yashahime

Last week we'd just reached a sentimental moment in the series, and since they're not giving us promos anymore, I went and found this: Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 15 "Moroha and Family, Together Again" Moroha is finally reunited with her parents; Inuyasha sees a...

I haven't seen any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, nor do I care to, so make your own "Black Pearl" jokes. [couldn't find a promo, sorry] Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 14 "Kirinmaru of the Dawn" Kirinmaru takes the Black Pearl from Moroha; Towa and Setsuna...

You know, in a lot of anime series, this is considered therapy. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 13 "Zero's Feelings" Setsuna stops Towa from killing Zero; Rin's curse cannot be lifted unless Zero lets go of her regrets; Sesshomaru gives Moroha the Black Pearl. OP...

Moroha's liberated the tanuki tribe, and Setsuna's had a good night's sleep. Now let's see them get Towa out of THIS mess. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 12 "A Place (Not) For Towa" Zero unearths sadness and loneliness; Sesshomaru appears before the demon slayers...

This new Home Alone movie already looks better than that one on Disney+ last year. Though I'm a little confused by the change of setting to feudal Japan... Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 11 "Battle on the New Moon, Part 2" Moroha and Takechiyo strike back against...

C'mon guys, clean up the place! The OG cast is visiting today! Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 10 "Battle on the New Moon, Part 1" Moroha learns about the Full Moon Raccoon Dog and Takechiyo's exile; the snow demon Yukinyudo attacks Setsuna; Zero targets Towa on the...

I don't know how, but I imagine these three story lines will connect in some way. Perhaps some kind of random comedic bumping into each other or something. I hope one of them's not working for the raccoon dogs or the flame bulls when they do. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act...

In case you missed it two weeks ago, Towa was just given her walking papers, while Moroha got herself captured by the cast of Pom Poko. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 8 "Nanahoshi's Mini Galaxy" Zero sets a trap in the garden of Nanahoshi, a demon who feeds on...

This week, we play with some one-horned monsters. And maybe even slay some demons, if we have time. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 3 "The Silver-Scale Curse" Jaken remembers Zero's curse that would give Rin a painful death; the girls look for Bokusen-Oh, who makes...

It appears that Setsuna has fully recovered from her sudden and unexpected case of dying, so it's back to business as usual for our merry trio. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon - The Second Act Episode 2 "Demon Spirit of the Sea" Towa learns about a demon that targets women with long...

After weeks of almost no news... Weeks of double One Piece and the occasional double Shippuden... Weeks of radio silence from Crunchymation or Funiroll or whatever they are now... Just as we had almost given up hope, a wire comes in from the Absolution... Yashahime returns! Tonight at...

Welcome to the finale of Yashahime's first season. Welcome also to Toonami's second-to-last premiere episode of 2021. Well, unless Naruto Shippuden will be on after The Animatrix next week. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 24 "Sesshomaru's Daughter" Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha are left...

A short time ago, on an anime block not that far away... YASHAHIME Episode XXIII THE THREE PRINCESSES STRIKE BACK It is a dark time for Toonami. Although original series have started to air, financial constraints have driven many acquisitions, including the new JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, to...

Welcome to part one of a Yashahime triple decker, in which Toonami will burn through the remaining episodes of season one to make way for The Animatrix next week as well as whatever movies or marathons they can afford to show for Christmas and New Year's. Anyway, in this one, Setsuna regains...

Why does company always come over on the night you lose your demon powers? Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 21 "Secret of the Rainbow Pearls" On the night of the new moon, Riku pays Towa a visit to chat; unfortunately, he's not the only one planning to drop by. NOTE 1: This is the...

Uggh, Thanksgiving weekend and I'm still pulling double duty... Anyway, for part one of tonight's Yashahime power hour, we find out what Setsuna got up to while Towa was stuck in the future. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 20 "The Hidden Village for Half-Demons" Setsuna opens up to...

If you are reading this, one of two things has happened: a) the first episode of tonight's Yashahime doubleheader has ended, or; b) you have clicked on the wrong thread. If a), then be vewy vewy quiet, we're hunting Mowoha, huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh. If b), do not feel embarrassed. It happens to...

Well, now that we're out of that ravine and face to face with the bad guy, maybe we can--oh, wait, Moroha's still down there, isn't she... Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 18 "Sesshoumaru and Kirinmaru" Konton learns of the origins of the Rainbow Pearl and the connection between...

You know, part of the difficulty of making talkback threads for a show you're watching for the first time is figuring out how to describe the plot of an episode you haven't seen when the description you get off DirecTV Stream doesn't give you much to go on, and you'd rather not look it up on...

…boy, that was a long two weeks, wasn't it? Anyway, it seems after weeks of sitting on the sidelines, the quarter-demon of our half-demon trio will finally get an episode in the spotlight. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 16 "Double-Edged Moroha" In order to resolve a life-threatening...

There comes a time when you're introducing these talkback threads where you have to describe an episode you haven't seen based solely upon the plot description you're given, but it doesn't give you a lot to go on or makes absolutely no sense on the surface, and you have no clue what to write...

DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF FRENCH TICKNER THE ORIGINAL VOICE OF GRANDPA HIGURASHI I had a feeling it wasn't climate change. You know, since late-stage capitalism wasn't really a thing in feudal Japan. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 14 "The One Behind the Forest Fire" Towa and...

This is the thread for this week's Yashahime. If you came here to discuss this week's Food Wars, THIS IS NOT THAT THREAD. DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD if you want to talk about Food Wars. THIS IS A YASHAHIME THREAD. I'm saying that in case you read the episode title and got confused...

Okay, so...you know how Inuyasha was only a HALF-demon? And how there was a time every month, on the night of the new moon, where his demon powers fizzle out and he becomes fully human? Turns out it's a thing here too. And, as is always the case with these things, it's at the worst possible...

Somehow I doubt this is the pond where some strange woman lies in it distributing swords. Which is no basis for a system of government. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 11 "Curse of the Man-Eating Pond" Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha come across a pond that devours anything that draws near...

I'll tell you one thing about folks in feudal Japan--they sure do love their jewelry. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 10 "The Gold and Silver Rainbow Pearls" Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha face Kinka and Ginka; a powerful female demon swearing revenge on Sesshoumaru makes her appearance...

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a demon slayer. To me, being a demon slayer was better than being a warlord. Even before I first wandered into the village for an after-school job, I knew I wanted to be one of them. It was there that I knew that I belonged. To me, it meant...

...it's not a spoiler if you don't know who those people are, right? I mean, that was the description the AT&T TV app gave me, and I'd rather not have to copy-paste from Wikipedia. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 8 "The Dream Gazing Trap" Moroha battles...

I'm continuing to have suspicions about whoever's translating these episode titles... Anyway, it seems princesses are all the rage on Toonami tonight. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 7 "Meeting Through an Apple" Towa and Setsuna spend the night at Kaede's house after slaying demons...

(Gonna start taking the episode titles the AT&T TV app gives me with a grain of salt. If last week gave me "Red Bone Palace Young Bone Circle"...) This week, it's Adventures in Babysitting. In feudal Japan. Where demons can kill you at a moment's notice. Or bandits. Or disease. Or animals...

So to recap: Sisters. Daughters of Fluffy. Sacred tree. Wormhole. Ten years. Amnesia. Dream-stealing butterfly. Dogboy's daughter. Sacred sword. Sacred arrow. Jewels in their eyeballs. We cool? Great. Time for the monster of the week. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 5 "Jakotsumaru of...

SLUMBER PARTY!! (oh, sorry, Setsuna...) Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 4 "The Gateway to the Past" Towa decides to return to the feudal era to help Setsuna regain her memories; the trio enters the corridor leading to the feudal era, but within it awaits the spirit of a certain...

Funny, isn't it? Our protagonists fought a giant jewel-eating centipede monster at the beginning of the original series, and now they're fighting one at the beginning of this series as well. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 3 "The Dream Butterfly" A demon emerges in the present day with...

Okay, so last week's premiere was just something put together for the OG fans, so let's just reset from zero. So there are these two half-demon sisters who get separated when one of them falls through a time warp into modern-era Japan. After ten years they are reunited when the other arrives in...

DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF KIRBY MORROW It all started when a Japanese teenage girl fell down a well through time, met a half-demon nailed to a sacred tree, and brought ratings to a fledgling Saturday night anime block on Cartoon Network. Then it all ended when The Final Act ran on Toonami...
