How to Watch InuYasha Movies
Though the InuYasha movies deal with a separate plot from their anime counterpart, the theatrical releases based on the InuYasha series have become wildly popular in their own right. Four feature-length InuYasha films have been made. The first United States release took place on September 7, 2004.

Get familiar with the InuYasha storyline. Not only do the movies deal with their own distinct storylines, but their release dates may also confuse new fans trying to sort out the real-life chronology of the series. The first movie was released in Japan in 2001, but didn't appear in the U.S. until 2004, and by the time the second movie was released in the U.S., the fourth and final film had already had its run in Japanese theaters.

Tips & Warnings
Double-check to make sure that the InuYasha DVDs you order will play in your DVD if it has any region restrictions or that both your InuYasha DVDs and your DVD player are region-free.
While illegal and ripped versions of the InuYasha movies are readily available in peer-to-peer networks using bit torrents and other p2p sharing techniques, avoid the temptation to watch illegal copies. Law-enforcement personnel across the globe are cracking down on Internet-movie piracy, and there are strict laws in place to punish offenders.
