hmm...ok here goes...you ready?...inuyasha mainly takes place back in feudal japan. the main character is kagome, an average, every day teenager; or at least she was until she fell into her grandfather's well, which was on his temple grounds. this...teleported, i suppose, her into another time, the feudal era of japan; a time where demons roamed the earth. while there, she meets a half-demon named inuyasha(meaning dog-demon)who's been pinned to a tree for 50 years. at first they practically hate each other but still team up to recover the many shards of the shikon jewel, which is so powerful even a single shard can increase the bearer's power. as they continue to search for the jewel shards, they meet some new friends; miroku, a perverted(lol) monk; sango, a girl from a tribe of demon hunters(my fave); and shippo, the adorable little fox-like demon. there is also sesshomaru who is inuyasha's evil twin brother and pretty much their biggest enemy, naraku...no wait...he's their biggest enemy, and a lot of other crazy characters....(wow, this is getting long)...so anyways, every episode is a new adventure while inuyasha and the gang try to find the missing jewel shards. there are also movies and yea....that's about the jist of it
