This is going to be a long post, thus hidden for your convinience
Previously on Inu Yasha:
Inu Yasha and his companions are still in search for Inu Yashas Brother Sessomaru, for he seems to have the sword that will power Inu Yasha up for like the fourth time...
Chippo: ... and yat'ch why you are an achhole Inu Yacha and all of chour forefathach ach well.
Inu Yasha: Well that's unreasonable
Kagome: How dare you to speak to Chippo like that, Iny Yasha SIT!
Inu Yasha: Arghhh!!!!
Sango: Wait Kargomey, I might've heard somethin'
Miroku: Yeah, I sense something as well...
Sango: DON'T YOU TOUCH ME (Slapping him in the face)
MEANWHILE THE EVIL PRESENCE
Rin: Jaken-sama, why are you green?
Jaken: god dammit Rin, you can't just ask me why I'm green!
Rin: Ok... Sessomaru-sama, why is Jaken green
Sessomaru (completely ignoring Rin): Wait, I smell human blood and... the unpleasant scent of my pet-dog brother.
Miroku: to be short Sango: will you bare my child?
Sango while slapping Miroku again: isn't that sessomaru over there?
Kagome: It definetly looks like it, what do you think Inu Yasha? Ahem Inu Yasha??
Chippo: I hope chechomaru ichn't up to chomeching!
Inu Yasha: What is it this time Sessomaru, do you still think you can fight me like that?
Jaken: watch your mouth Inu Yasha, you aren't even a full-demon
Chippo: oh no tchey are fighking again
Rin: Yeah Sessomaru-sama
Miroku: but will it be enough?
Sango: Maybe he should use the windscar?
Inu Yasha: There is no need! I will slap his ass without that!
Sessomaru (after mopping the floor with Inu Yasha): Is this all you can do? Father should never have given you Tessaiga!
Jaken: Yes, you are nothing compared to the greatest demon in the whole world, hahahahahahaha... Oh no! I forgot, that making a main charackter angry restores his healthbar!
Inu Yasha: Yes you did Jaken, I will sent you all to hell!
Kagome: He is going to use the wind scar
Sessomaru: Ha! Do you really think that the Wind Scar will be enough against me?
Sango: he really is using the Wind Scar
Inu Yasha: WIND SCAR
(While using the Wind Scar Inu Yasha absorbs the power of Sessomarus sword AGAIN)
Sessomaru: No, how could this half demon do that!
(They are trapped in an epic flashlight, so we don't see **** )
Chippo: Inu Yacha!
Jaken: Sessomaru-Sama!
Sango: Inu Yasha!
Rin: Sessomaru-Sama!
Kagome: Inu Yasha!
(the dust sets slowly and both are standing beaten, facing each other)
Inu Yasha: you have enough Sessomaru?
Sessomaru: I declare this a draw, but next time I will claim Tessaiga!
( he flies away on his flying cow with Rin)
Jaken: Wait for me Sessomaru-sama!!!
Kagome: Inu Yasha are you hurt?
Inu Yasha: Ahh it's nothing but a few scratches
Chippo: cho, a few Chkatchech?
(Chippo smacks Inu Yasha directly on a bruise)
Inu Yasha: Would you stop that?
Kagome: You are doing it again! Inu Yasha: SIT
Next time on Inu Yasha: after like 50 Episodes we see the actual bad guy again! How many times will Inu Yasha fail, before Naraku will flee again? Oh, and that annoying wolf-guy is making an appearance as well. How will Kargomey decide? Join us on the next episode of twili... I mean Inu Yarshar!
I can say that, for I enjoyed Inu Yasha and "thou shalt only parody what is to thy likings"

**** man I had a girlfriend in highschool who was way too into Inuyasha. She would always make me watch it and even bought me a pair of Inuyasha ears that she'd make me wear whenever she came over. It was worth it though because she was hotter than hell. Dem ******* legs man.
To be fair, I do think that MLP can be watched by older male people (their whole fanbase are fedora wearers). Hell I watch Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball and Gravity Falls and if I could watch my good old cartoons like Dexter and Ed Edd n' Eddy, I would, so that's not a good point.
What I dislike with MLP is that their community is cringey as hell and there is no need to shout "HEY, I WATCH MY LITTLE PONEY AND IM OP AS FUK" in the face of everybody, show it pubicly and turn everything into MLP content (everytime I look for something on Google Images, there's always a goddamn MLP fanart image)
For something similar to Spice and Wolf in terms of economy and shizz, you could try C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control or even Log Horizon. I'd say Higashi no Eden also isn't a bad choice in that regard.
If you're going for similar atmosphere as in S&W, you could maybe try Mushishi, Haibane Renmei or Kino no Tabi. Perhaps even Wolf's Rain.
Now, something similar to Parasyte...Shiki might be a good bet, if you haven't watched it. There's also Pupa, it's pretty short, but not very good. Kemonozume is of dodgy quality at times, but it is rather similar in many regards. Devilman is the thing that pretty obviously inspired the Parasyte manga, and there are many similarities, so you might want to try that. It is rather old, if that turns you off(1972). There are some newer versions of it, like Devilman: The Birth, Devilman: The Demon Bird or Amon: The Apocalypse of Devilman.
Does anyone else want Gordon Ramsay to do commentaries on anime?
I can easily imagine him saying stuff like
“Oh no here we go with the flash backs again”
