I'm trying to catch up.
finished ep 11.
it's pretty bad.
it's always been somewhat bad, but the past two episodes were really a dive down.

one thing that really bugs me is the horrible defense offense offset. The out of nowhere power ups I can live with (so, Sessy has a mom? and she gives him a new power boost, why, ain't that convenient?), as well as the "describing the previous scene with three characters explaining it" (Kanna takes damage,"a wound appeared on Kanna at the same spot the hit was made!", "Kanna... you're taking the damage from the hit", "Why are you taking the damage, Kanna?!").
those two are horrible, but I'll keep them for the flamepit.

What I mean is that, ever since the series stared, we've had regenerating enemies out the wazoo. Naraku and his corps aside, we've seen so many plant type enemies, mud form, and each one of them can take the even more amazing hit from the newest super sword.
at the same time, we're supposed to believe that Inuyasha and Kouga stand up to multiple versions of energy waves (many times their own reflected\stolen attacks) without any viable explanation?

for example, the Kaza no Kizu (windsacr, wound of the wind), Inuyasha meets one head on, about once every two episodes, and yet they still treat this attack like something.
even the koungosoha (crystal barrage!), Naraku can spawn it out in spades, and yet it never damages the good guys (or anyone, actually).
so how do they do it? Inuyasha can't regenerate (it was established early one that he's got some quick healing, but it's for naught since he never bleeds in any serious fight). and for some reason can't dodge (real smart move, take cover with the slow balloon transformation, how the hell does that offer any protection?), it looks like they're missing him on purpose (even those who have no deal missing him on purpose).
So far, the series justifies it by the Tettsaige barrier protecting him, or absorbing most of the damage. and that just leads us down the road of stupid.

Inuyasha amounts to shit without the sword.

remember back in the days? he slashed people with his hands? used his blood as projectiles? actually let loose of his sword so he could dig his fingers into the enemies forehead (best tactic in the show)?
today (or more likely, from the day he gave up on reflecting energy and started using the sword's energy), he doesn't do any of that.
and that sucks.
