About Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon

If you are hunting for a new action series, Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (半妖の夜叉姫) deserves a look (2020). The setup goes like this. The premise: The daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha set out on an adventure transcending time! In Feudal Japan, Half-Demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated from each other during a forest fire.

As things develop, while desperately searching for her younger sister, Towa wanders into an unexplained tunnel that sends her into present-day Japan, where she is found and raised by Kagome Higurashi’s brother, Sota, and his family. Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened, allowing Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a Demon Slayer working for Kohaku. To Towa’s shock, Setsuna appears to have lost all memories of her older sister.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Inuyasha (Kappei Yamaguchi) and Kagome Higurashi (Satsuki Yukino) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 24 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal
