ok... all I know is that it's after naraku dies... but what episode is that?
sorry if this is the thousanth time someone has asked this but I had to ask, cos i tend to overshoot movies in anime all the time by accident.
<SPOILER FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE OR THE REST OF THE SERIES>
Naraku never really died, he faked his death. Plus the movies aren't applied to the series. Does that answer you question?
.*.i luff Jason!.*.
So the movie's completely unrelated to the series? I hate when they do that.
But I guess it's true since Hojo didn't know them at all when they met.
It's hard to explain, I mean the movies never really were related to the series... In some sense they do, but in others they don't. Does that make sense? It's like something happened with the group that was too large to become a an episode, so they played it out longer for a movie. But there's no real time frame for the movies. I hope that rammbling made sense.

I know what you mean, but what I'm wondering is why Hojo would have known them when they all met. I mean, we aren't dealing with the Hojo of Kagome's time, we're dealing with one of his ancestors. I too am trying to figure out how this movie fits because it seems where they place it at 95-96, the parts about Naraku and what they know of him in the series doesn't jive with what goes on in the opening of the film. I'll have to watch the movie and from episode 95 on again and take notes to figure out exactly what episode I had it fitting in after, but I think it was somewhere in season five after the Band of 7 are all dead and they at least know Naraku is alive to begin with to be hunting him rather than believing him to be dead. The part that didn't make sense to me was that they are hiding Inuyasha so that Naraku doesn't see him as a mortal. If they had believed that he was already dead, they wouldn't have been worrying about it.
shareInuYasha the Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glassis the second movie of the InuYasha
movie series. It was released in Japan on December 21, 2002 (between episodes 95 & 96), and
in the United States on December 28, 2004. In this film, the character designs are virtually identical
to the Rumiko Takahashi versions, from the original manga (rather than using the Yoshihito
Hishinuma designs, from the TV anime).
The movie has to fit in somewhere... There's a small story arc from episodes 137 to 140 in which Hojou comes back. The first time we see him is almost exactly like the first time we see him in the movie. They all recognize each other this time though.
But then again, I mean, InuYasha and Kagome don't seem to remember that they kissed, or that Kagome said she loved InuYasha.
It's probably best not to think about it or try to place it somewhere. xD

A lot of people over the web say that the movie takes place after episode 74, but in wiki and other pages they say that it was released in japan between episodes 95 and 96.
I'm going to watch the film in the Japanese release order.
