I'm not exactly sure myself. It's been a while since I read it. Starks at Freelance-Manga.com posted a rant today about how fast things were going. He said that they crammed 12 chapters in the first episode.

Kagura's death is too important to just be breezed over...it significantly alters Sesshomaru's attitude

From the previews I think Kagura's death will be next week along with Sesshomaru's big fight. I thought I saw a clip where she was with Sess, they were in a field, and she was disolving away, and he looked surprised (kinda, surprised for him anyway).

O.o I just watched it myself. Honestly, it reminds me a bit of the new fma anime where when they first start, they stuff a lot of chapters in the first few eps to get things moving faster. Though if you think about it, an inuyasha chapter isn't very long. About 14 to 15 pages long. So its to be expected that their going to put a lot in one ep.

I hope to god that they are not going to skip over the chapters around 500 where Sess and Kag work together to save Inuyasha...

They skipped the part of Sesshomaru's mother didn't they because she appeared way back when in chapter 466, right? Crapajacks! I like Sesshomaru's mother! TT.TT

No no no. We are in the upper 300's, not the upper 400's. We still have a little ways to go before meeting Sesshmom.

EDIT:

Here are the two little storyline arcs I'm hoping that they will animate. The first resolves around Kagome/Inuyasha's relationship, the second around Shippou's final character development (for the most part). MANGA SPIOLERS!!!

Chp 474 - Kaou
Chp 473 - Tears of Blood
Chp 474 - Wounded Heart

And

Chp 505 - Kitsune Inn
Chp 506 - Examinee #77

I think I have a strange fascination with seeing Sesshomaru lose control of his cool, calm and collected exterior. Which is why I hope they will include Shishinki and the revelation about Tenseiga (not going to elaborate cause it's a spoiler).

Also, I found some screencaps for those who wish to see/ or use them: Here

In case no one realized it, the 2nd episode is out and it is subbed. Hope yall find this address useful.

I just finished watching the second episode on hulu.com.

We really need an active crying emoticon, but I guess this'll have to do.

The saddest Inuyasha episode I've seen yet by far. The only thing that comes even remotly close to this in sadness would be the Inuyasha crying episode, and it's still leagues away in sadness.

But, on the bright side, I get one of my wishes for the new anime. Next episode we have the Fox Academy, aaaannnddd, we may get to see Sesshmom.

-wipes her nose after the saddest Inuyasha episode ever released-

Sessmom? Already? Isn't it a little early? Tenseiga isn't "awaken" yet (I'm trying not to spoil here... lol), and Sesshomaru is not exactly a primary character... (don't throw rotten tomatoes, it's only the truth, even if I can't get enough of him just like ya'll)

They're going too fast... if you haven't read the manga, I'm not even sure you can understand any of it.

IY Final Act Episode 3

The latest episode in case anyone wants/or forgot to watch it. It's also on Hulu.

Heh heh heh. A very good episode this week. I was laughing my butt off during the fox academy part of the episode. Yes, they are definitly skipping all over the place as far as manga chapters though, although they are doing so in a decent fashion.


Things to look forward to on the next episode:

Episode 4: ???

Dragon scaled Tetsuiga, Moryomaru versus Koga, and Byakuya of the Mirage makes his appearance.

It is so hyper speeded up. I'm grateful for any InuYasha anime, but man, they're going fast... It's like the Cliff Notes version...

IY Final Act Ep. 4: Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga

The latest episode is now on Hulu and ShonenSunday.

I agree. Like I said before, 26 eps are not enough. I guess you take what you can get I suppose. But in reality, they need at least 70 eps. I just hope we get to see Sessmom in color. That would be awesome.

Episode 5 is out now and available to watch: Click here!

Ok so this is my first time posting on a forum so I have no Karma. Truthfully I didn't know this was even here or that you had the option till a couple days ago.

Last summer I rewatched the entire anime series but noticed it cut off so suddenly that I knew there had to be more so then I continued reading the manga where they left off in the series... I wanted more after that which led me to reading fanfictions.

I am so that they are even attemping to finish the story. I Luckily stumbled onto that information 2 days before it aired so I wasn't left pinning away for two long.

I agree that they are going way to fast for my liking.

The speed they went before was a little slow because they did every little scene the way it happened in the anime but i liked it better that way than going to fast because then it's over to quickly.

They are taking out almost all the scenes when they camp out at night together which makes me miss them alot because that is the time that funny things usually happen. feel like Kagome and Inuyasha aren't even the main characters anymore because they aren't focused on as much.

What I do like though is that Sesshoumaru has managed to get slipped into every episode so far. Even if it's just for a minute it makes me happy.

I haven't watched the fifth episode which is being released tonight on Holloween. I checked to see if its on youtube yet because thst I find is the fastest and easiest way to watch it but there isn't an english sub up yet. I'll have to check tomorrow.


(Wow I'm a talker)

The 5th episode was hilarious the Great Holy Demon Spirit was funny. For most of the episode he was a body without a skeleton xDD like a floating talking blob lol

Liked the fifth episode.

The sixth episode will see the wrapping up of the Moryomaru storyline arc. From there I think they'll probably start to transition into the final Kikyo storyline arc, with the Meidou arc continuing and finishing sometime around the finishing of the Kikyo arc.

can i just put it out there that a practically naked Naraku is extremely disturbing??

other than that, poor Inu-tachi! (no spoilers here) can't wait till next week!

I lubs mah Wolfye, but I am inclined to disagree with this assessment.

Mmmmmm... naked Naraku... *drools*

I guess I'm just a sucker for bad guys!

I don't know what it is, but this series is doing so much more for me than the original did...I think part of it is the animation, and the fact that every time you're looking at a character they look so real, rather than really 2d cartoonish, if that makes any sense?

And also, I LOVE the ending song - even just the first 20 seconds are made of awesome (maybe because there's a clip of Sesshoumaru?)

Sparkly Naraku...I was kind of waiting for him to smile and for there to be a little tooth sparkle! O.o
