On getting to enjoy S2 of ‘Yasha Hime’ on True ID for FREE!

Setsuna and Towa

As a certified “Geek Mom” -it is my whole brand after all, one of my simplest joys is getting to watch a current anime that I am following as the episode drops in Japan. Over the years, the way fans watched anime has changed. I remember way back when, there was no internet yet. Everyone watched the latest episode of a beloved anime series all together. Usually it was at the 5:00 – 6:00 PM time slot on local channels. Fans would be at the edge of their seat, a bad reception or the TV antenna falling over could mean missing out on the latest episode! Que horror! Kids today would not know the thrill of knowing that you are one together with the nation as you all together found out if that rag-tag team of humans and demons won the inter dimensional tournament, or if that three point made its way into the basket at the very last second possible.

Nowadays, there are streaming sites which has our favorite anime series available straight from Japan and are even released on the same day, or maybe a few hours or days behind. These shows, being available for streaming, just means that we can watch it at our own time and convenience.

We may have lost that thrill of watching a show all at the same time but the plus side is, as I mentioned earlier, getting to watch these shows whenever we want to. But for us 90s kids or for those who were old enough to remember, those weekday nights and late afternoons at the edge of our seats, while we all watched our favorite shows are memories we will all treasure forever.

We continuously go forward and as we go with the times, we have also adjusted to how we enjoy and consume our favorite anime series. I for one, am just glad that we have these avenues to watch the latest episodes of our favorite anime series. True ID Philippines, boasts a wide library of different anime titles, from the most popular, to the latest and as a fan of mangaka Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2, InuYasha) I’m thrilled that the second season of Yasha Hime is available to stream on TrueID for FREE!

A big improvement from their first season, which I just thought was ‘meh’ -Yasha Hime follows the story of the twin daughters of Sesshomaru and Rin (yes, the sooner we all just accept it, the better) Setsuna and Towa. Former protagonists InuYasha and Kagome’s daughter Moroha, also joins the fold. So, it’s a next generation of characters from the series (InuYasha) that many of your geek Titas and Titos followed during the day.

It’s interesting to note that even if Inu Yasha was the main protagonist of the original series, it was his aloof, older, half-brother Sesshomaru who became popular among the many fans of the show. Which is probably what prompted Takahashi-sensei to switch gears and focus the new series YashaHime on his daughters. Talk about some fan service right there, well, needless to say the fans appreciated it, with the first season of the series finishing 9th place at Animage’s 43rd Anime Grand Prix in 2020.

The way we consume our favorite anime series may have changed over the years, what matters is that we still get to enjoy them today. It may be a ‘simple joy’ or a ‘guilty pleasure’ but it is still something that we look forward to in a week and yes, even helps us get through some tough days.
