Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the OP and ED songs CD. I noticed that the limited edition sometimes includes non-credit videos. Is there a DVD that features the non-credit versions of the OP and ED songs as a special bonus? By the way, I’m referring to the first season
of Inuyasha.
Discovering Hidden Gems in Anime Soundtracks
So, I was chatting with a friend the other day about our favorite anime series and stumbled into the topic of soundtracks—specifically, the opening and ending songs. You know how it is; sometimes, you get so attached to those catchy tunes that you can’t help but belt them out in the shower, right? Anyway, we got to talking about the classic series “Inuyasha,” and my friend had this burning question about the limited edition CDs. Apparently, there’s a special DVD that includes non-credit versions of the OP (opening) and ED (ending) songs! I mean, how cool is that? I can just imagine myself watching those sequences without the credits rolling, fully taking in the amazing animation and music. But here’s the kicker—my friend mentioned that these DVDs were part of a special edition that came out back in 2010. It’s not like you can just stroll into a store and grab a fresh copy anymore. Instead, it’s more of a treasure hunt for gently used copies. Now, I have a bit of a soft spot for these kinds of hunts. I remember one time, I set out early on a Saturday morning, thinking I’d be the first one at this small anime shop that I’d heard had a rare collectible. Spoiler alert: I was way too early. I ended up munching on snacks from a nearby convenience store while reading manga on my phone for what felt like hours, just waiting for the shop to open. But hey, it was worth it when I finally found that elusive figurine! Back to the topic at hand, my friend also pointed out that while searching for these non-credit versions, you have to be careful. Sometimes, they get mixed in with regular copies, and you might end up with a version that doesn’t include the bonus DVD. It’s like playing a game of “Where’s Waldo?” but with anime merchandise. And just a little nugget of info for those curious about the “Inuyasha” DVD releases: the first volume has the OP, the second has the ED, and the third is supposed to come with some visual materials. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to dive into those extras! Have you ever gone on a wild goose chase for that one collectible or soundtrack? Or maybe you have some tips on where to find hidden gems in the world of anime? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!
