Inu Yasha's "Beauty War" between Kikyo, Inu Yasha, and Kagome, which was basically it's own article.


Will we get to read that article someday? Please?

Doesn't Inuyasha qualify as a Beauty and the Beast thing too?

Yes, which might account for how "A Feudal Fairy Tail" was on the original Eng. language tankoubon cover.

Chise is there to teach Elias how to be human, like Beauty must do with the Beast.


TBT that part never made any sense to me in the original tale, beast does not need to learn no be human, he was born human; he simply has anger management issues, it is like having to get along with someone with post traumatic stress disorder.

"Human" qualities are usually considered positive, rational, civilized, etc. while animal qualities are negative, impulsive, chaotic, etc. The Beast's form reflected his nature, an immature and impulsive monster. The Beauty is supposed to tame him.

That is a false dichotomy, humans are animals (with bigger brains, but not bigger hearts).

It can be that the beast is an M, but I do not see Belle as an S, unless she is a deresadi.

The reason that we don't expect animals to be moral is because they aren't capable of it. There is no good or evil to animals because they lack the ability to understand those concepts. As horrible as evil people can be they do understand what they are doing and simply consider their personal desires to be more important than the lives of other people. That is why evil people try to hide their activities using money, threats, or murder. So even when excluding the issue of religion at least on a moral level people consider humans and animals to be different.

It is believe the classic tale (the modern variant) has some basis in reality: Petrus Gonsalvus (1537-16185) was the first recorded case of hypertrichosis, a condition of excessive hair growing on one's body. For more info, try this link: historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/beauty-and-the-beast.
