Inu-Yasha - Secret of the New Moon

"BACK FROM THE GRAVE
As Kagome tries to keep up with her social life and school in modern times, she constantly has to split her time with the search for the Shikon Jewel in Inuyasha's. When Kagome, Inuyasha, and Shippo come across a young girl who tells them her village is plagued by spider-demons, Inuyasha reluctantly agrees to help. But there's a problem. During certain periods of the moon cycle, half-demons lose their supernatural powers, becoming fully human for a night. And that night has arrived! The other two episodes are about a witch stealing Kikyo's ashes by desecrating her grave. If she carries through with her plans, Inuyasha might have to face the priestess that ensorcelled him a second time!

This show is very clever. I was really intrigued by the circumstances of what really happened the day Kikyo bound Inuyasha to the sacred tree 50 years ago. Both sides have their own version, each thinking the other betrayed them. It makes me want to know what really happened. I thought the love story that comes to light between the two was touching. This anime is way above average and owes that not only to the great animation but also the awesome stories of Rumiko Takahashi! Excellent show!"
