Kagome Higurashi is a modern day young girl who lives with her family by the old Higure shrine. Unbeknownst to Kagome, she is the reincarnation of priestess Kikyo and posseses the "Jewel of Four Souls" (the Shikon jewel). One ill-fated day, Kagome locates an ancient well near her home and is abruptly transported through the well and into a feudal Japan, inhabited by demons. There, she encounters Inuyasha, son of a powerful demon father and a human mother, who is pinned to a tree by an enchanted arrow.

There are wolves that attack the group several times in the series. A couple characters are wolf/dog/canine like demons who die. Some of them humanoid but others heavily dog looking. S4E20 has a pretty graphic wolf death

There are various questionable Mayfly December romances. Kagome is 15 during most of the show. The series depicts love interest Inuyasha as possibly having the maturity /appearance of a teenager or young adult. However in one of the movies he is established to be hundreds of years old. There is a sort of demon age vs human age discussion in the fandom that the show doesn't get into. It's also unclear how old humanoid wolf demon Koga is who asks to marry Kagome. An adult villain tries to marry Kagome against her will and is later defeated.

In episode 41 it's revealed that Miroku, an older teenager, had three years ago asked an 11 year old girl to bear his children. She is shown to be infatuated with him when they meet again. Koga at one point in a flashback says to a child wolf demon he will marry her in the future. It's established that he doesn't mean it seriously. She returns later appearing to be a teen or adult and thinks they are engaged.

Sesshomaru (humanoid dog demon) rescues a human child and she travels with him for the rest of the series. He appears and acts like an adult man and is hundreds of years old. In the sequel they get together and have kids.

There is a lot of blood and characters becoming injured. However a lot of the violence during battle will be more abstract so it isn't as explicitly gory. For example, there will be a graphic of a slash mark on the screen followed by disintegrating blobs to show a demon is being ripped apart.

There are characters that are resurrected/undead but they look like regular people rather than zombies.

The main character has a body is made of demons and whose limbs turn into tentacles. Most of the time he is in human form however and the tentacles are more vine-like than anything. Personally I struggle with body horror and while some scenes are sort of gross I didn't find anything to be scary.

The character of Jakotsu was originally planned as female but was changed to male later so InuYasha wouldn't have to kill a woman. He is still voiced by a woman and dresses in traditionally feminine clothes. He is also a predatory sadist who flirts with his male victims while torturing them.

Different priceless artifacts are destroyed. Mostly this is in the context of them becoming tainted or being evil or it being for the greater good. A big focus of the plot involves collecting shards of a broken jewel artifact.

There are two significantly disabled characters in the show and both are shown to be extremely villainous with body horror components. One disabled villain character is tired of being extremely physically limited so he turns his body over to demons to become able bodied. However, he is shown to be evil before becoming disabled.

There are characters who are treated badly for being half demons in a way that parallels how disabled people can get treated in real life. The show is shown to not agree with this mistreatment and make social commentary against this sort of prejudice.

There are gay-coded men that are killed by Inuyasha. They aren't explicitly called gay, but they flirt with Inuyasha and he is appalled by it. Meant to be comedic :/

Kagome is 15 while Inuyasha is chronologically 200, though they are mentally the same age since demons age differently. Sesshomaru is supposedly chronologically 300+ and 18-19 mentally. For most of the series he travels with an extremely young girl, a child, and in the spin-off series sequel he marries her. However, said spin-off isn't technically canon.
