It may be "good".  I just don't like it that much so far.

I never followed the manga.

I haven't seen enough of Inuyasha to say.
(as for Dragonball, I have only seen the anime, never read the manga much)

The part about going around to find the pieces..
like Goku going off to find the dragonballs.
Goku goes along with Buruma, etc.
Here, we have the girl going with Inuyasha..
This part seems similar.

When I saw the scene when the jewel broke, and went flying all over,
that immediately reminded me of Dragonball.
Then later on in the episode, the old woman says that they have to
go get the pieces..

The anime hides all of these.  The anime is very abstract when
showing violence and death.  I think it is self-censored well,
to make it showable to a general audience.

Even the Kindaichi anime was pretty tame compared to Inuyasha.
