I haven't read Inu-Yasha, but as a casual fan of Rumiko Takahashi I get what you're talking about. The "mostly-static characters" thing goes back to Urusei Yatsura, which I love (see my icon), but her schtick is mostly to add on more characters when things grow stale, which I don't think leads to the good character development of her first characters in a series.
I actually haven't been that interested in Inu-Yasha because, weirdly enough, I like UY and Ranma 1/2 too much and haven't really shelled out the money to invest in buying the whole series of them, so going for the Rumiko Takahashi story I'm only somewhat interested in doesn't really seem like a good measure of time/effort.
Plus, fuck it, I've seen Fushigi Yugi already. [stubborn!]
