Very happy I got this season, I was unsure because of some of the negative comments - it's hard to know what to believe when passionate people praise or attack a program they like.Yes, it is "lighter" than other sets. I'm happy about that, though. I do not always want to view lots of tension and intrigue, especialy before going to sleep. It is nice to be able to play an episode or two and just be entertained, or laugh.For example, the episode "Mysterious, lecherous monk" is about Mirouku getting in trouble because Hatchi (raccoon spirit) impersonates him. There is one with "the 3 sprites of the Monkey God", where Shippo is more of a dominant character. It's really cute, and there are jokes you must know a bit about Japanese culture to get. For example, what happens to the stone that is a relic from the monkey god's shrine ... hysterical, if you know the reverence due such an object, and the solemness a shrine's protectors should show.A few more plots: There is one where Kagome's school admirer visits at the same time as Inuyasha, because she has a cold. Another has Shessomaru meeting Koga ... also funny, more so if you know how wolves and feudal Japanese should act to one another. There are episodes featuring Kikyo and Kagome working together, Koga and his young fiancee, and one with Kagome's little brother falling in love. There's one focusing more on Rin and Jaken. One focuses on Kirara disappearing, and "the black Kirara" stars another 2-tailed cat, a little girl, and Shippo. I like them all, and I liked seeing their personalities more than when focus is on the usual main characters.I think, as a writer and a fan, that it is good to see more of the supporting characters than usual in an episode. It helps understand them. Why do they react - or don't - to certain events? How do they relate to each other, and how did their relationships blossom?The disks fold out, and have a slipjacket. There are subtitles, but I had problems switching those off and resuming the episode. I have had to reset the subtitles and then select the scene I want to go to, instead of using a "resume" option. Otherwise it just plays from the very beginning episode again.If you're impatient to get to the Naraku-fighting parts, skip to season 5.
