Episode 15: Inuyasha: Context Over Content


Inuyasha made a significant splash when it first debuted on YTV in 2003... far greater than many of us seem to remember, in fact. What were the exact cultural circumstances that caused Inuyasha to dominate Canadian Google searches for years? Ian and Noah help me get to the bottom of this.

Episode breakdown:
5:45- Our personal experiences with Inuyasha
25:00 - The Japanese context of the show
29:50 - Overview of story and characters
43:55 - The nuances of Inuyasha’s Canadian context
