You know it's bad when I'm wondering if the creators have forgotten who the main character is. o.O Thus far it feels like it's been all Kohaku, Kagura, Sesshomaru, and Shippo, with a dash of Miroku/Sango and a couple bits with Kagome's friends bugging her. I think, up until this episode, that Kouga had had almost as much (if not as much) screen time as Inuyasha. Weird.

I know they're trying to cover a lot of ground and rehash without being boring or really rehashing... but what gives? It feels weirdly detached and unfocused, and I say this even as someone that isn't all that familiar with the second half of the manga.
