Dane: reminded me of that crazy comeback by the 1999 Yankees – some storylines really never leave you
Aiden: finally somebody acknowledges that naraku wasn't even remotely convincing without his grotesque makeup
Eliassato: that's way too harsh, some plots are just too well-built to be rewatched cold
Marek: I'll never forget that ep - Naraku's backstory still chills me to this day. What's crazy is how well that level of depth stuck in my head after 25
Static Nova: you'd think they'd be able to tone down his eyes a notch now days aren't we supposed to have better editing software than this
Nova: some people say villains are more compelling when they're complex but I think Naraku just works because he's so simple and ruthless like that one Phantom #1352 mix where the low
Irisv: i never liked naraku that much but this ep still gives me chills every time
Sana: anime villains don't actually get worse over time but the animation does though this still looks rough compared to modern shows
Sana: I don't know how Koenma handled that episode when it first aired!
Solar Vesper: never forgot the eerie atmosphere they created in those early episodes, still sends chills down my spine whenever I think about it
Obsidian Cipher: nobody's talking about just how unsettling those early 90s animation styles still are though
Omar: what's really striking is how they set up Naraku's backstory in that one episode. still giving me chills all these years later
Aidenfalk: I think what makes Naraku stand out is how his backstory affects Sesshoumaru in the series. The way their complicated history impacts the storylines is still hauntingly relevant
Milanv: that scene still gives me nightmares and I haven't watched inuyasha in ages lol
