Inuyasha, a timeless classic, follows the tale of humans and demons on a quest that gives rise to friendship, romance and loads of amazing action sequences. The animation is beautiful, and each story arc brings a new adventure.
The world of Inuyasha is surrounded by mystery. Like the protagonist, Kagome Higurashi, we find ourselves in a mysteriously bewitching world.

There are many unpaid VPN services at hand or free browser extensions. However, using low-tier VPN providers might decrease your speed and get you blocked by streaming services. Connection drops and unsecured encryption are also other disadvantages.
The important thing is that Inuyasha is present on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, and many other streaming websites’ catalogs, so set your VPN to a suitable location to access the anime from anywhere.
5. How much time will it take to complete Inuyasha?
It will take you a total of 103 hours and 16 minutes or more than four days to complete Inuyasha without any breaks in between. A saner number would be more than a week, as you would need breaks to complete the anime.

Inuyasha has two seasons, the first one aired continuously from 2000 to 2004 with 167 episodes, while the second and last season is The Final Act with 26 episodes that aired from 2009 to 2010.
However, the anime has been divided into seven, eight, or even nine seasons on some websites or streaming sites, making it very confusing. This division was done during the English dubbing of the anime, and the actual number of episodes remains the same.
As long as you follow the episode numbers, you should be able to follow the watch orders without any problems.

The recommended order of Inuyasha is its chronological order. The movies are filler and not canon, but they should not be skipped. The anime has a fairly uncomplicated watch order that should be easy to follow.
