garrargh!
this is something that's been eating at me for a while. in the Inuyasha anime (dub--i have no money ;_;), there is this HUGE BLATANT ANACHRONISM in the concluding eps to Kikyou's resurrection (you know the one--right before Miroku's intro, last wednesday night). it's in a flashback (Inuyasha's i think) when Inuyasha is talking to Kikyou and she's talking about her burden to guard the Shikon no Tama. Then Inuyasha gets up and says "We've all got our crosses to bear" something else and walks away. that phrase is an allusion to the christian theology (new testament) in which jesus is forced to bear his own cross to be crucified. it is generally accepted that Inuyasha takes place some 10 to 20 years before Oda Nobunaga unified Japan. tack onto that the 50 year difference where dogboy was stuck to the tree, it is incredibly unlikely that Inuyasha would know this phrase seeing as westerners didn't start trading with Japan until the late late 1600's if my memory of world history serves me... y'know. i'm probably the only person irked by that so much. but... anyone with half a brain oughta be able to reason that inuyasha as a HALF DEMON wouldn't know jack about christianity, let alone would Kikyou, a Shinto PRIESTESS, know enough of it to understand the statement.
