I must confess that I love Inuyasha as well... Although as you said it does have bad things about it. Annoying cliches, over the top voice acting (the japanese dub is overall much better but Inuyasha and Seshomuru themselve's voices in english are better) and annoying random outbursts from characters. Also the teenage love thing is kindof annoying at times. And there's ALOT of filler. But there's just something about the bigness and epicness of it, and the overall story arch is very nice I think.

Which is why I have an on-again off-again personal project of mine that aims to edit down the entire series into a sortof series of fanedit movies. The show has 167 episodes, over half of which are filler, and even the good episodes have unnecessary moments. I aim to edit out things nonessential to the story, things that are annoying (Inuyasha in my edit is no longer a pouty stereotype teenage bad boy, just a troubled soul who can be moody sometimes. but not every five minutes!!! Shippo doesn't speak much, and Kagome doesn't yell much. Also none of that damn flea), and stuff like that. I plan to make it into about 7 films that cut all the fat and annoying things from the essential episodes and piece them together.

Since you like Inuyasha thought I'd post that.
