Ok. In shounen comics, or Inuyasha specifically, we have the same type of scenarios. Schoolgirl life. Deciding who the girl loves early on. And Inuyasha wasn't loyal, he just didn't want his face driven into the dirt. It's not until the first chick he loved finally died. And that robe thing he and sesshoumaru wore were girly as hell: they looked like Hanboks. Not to say they looked bad, just that they look like Korean girls' apparel. Keeping in mind that the main female character is a complete Mary-sue, while her lover is more shallow than a Gary-stu.
The American names weren't that bad. Most were just different pronunciations, or shortened versions.The only terrifyingly bad one was instead of V-chan, the Tokyopop version called her "V-babe". And a lot of the mangas that are more gruesome are horror. The Sailor moon manga can get pretty scary, and rarely focuses on schoolgirl life. There's like, 5 chapters tops where she's at school. And Sailor Moon was already engaged to him before the Silver Millennium ended anyway.

Deciding who teh girl loves early on?
Unless you count that as fate, or something like that, there's no mention of deciding early on in Inuyasha. Inuyasha IS loyal. He was loyal to Kikyo, even after she tried to kill him. He still tried to look for her and tried to save her to the very end. I call that loyal.
Oh, come on. They so do not look like Hanboks. Hanboks have gigantic red dresses. Inuyasha might wear a ruddy red robe, but its still pants. Sesshomaru's outfit wasn't that girly either. Alright, the fluffy thing over his right shoulder was a bit strange, but he had metal spikes and armor too. And you're right, Kagome didn't have many flaws. But Inuyasha did have a flaw, and it was the aforementioned staying loyal to a chick who tried to murder him.
I don't know of any other animes that change the characters' japanese names into english names. Or maybe im just not thinking enough.
Bleach? Nope. Naruto? Nope. Dragonball Z? Nope.
Inuyasha rarely focuses on schoolgirl life. Except for the bits of her at school where Inuyasha swoops in with a bandanna over his ears, and her graduation, there's really not much school for her to be worried about.
Inuyasha has more blood and gruesomeness than Sailor Moon. Ehm, example, Inuyasha sticking his hand clear through Yura-of-the-hair's boobs, and the scenes where some demon's slaughtered an entire village with blood and disembodied heads everywhere. There's more, too. And Inuyasha's not horror.
