Excellent. If this is true, BI will probably explode soon. We need conformation!

Inuyasha Kanketsuhen, the final series, begins today, October 3rd 2009 for Japanese, so begins today October 2nd for Americans. (Japan is a day ahead of the USA) Start hunting for the fansubs in the next week or so for any who wish to watch the rest of the manga~!

Okay...well. I just finished watching the new episode...My opinion...

Not Impressed.

At All...

It had fantastic art, much better than the first 167 eps, and they have the same Seiiyuu back doing the voices-and the opening and ending themes are great-but that...is where the 'praise' ends.

The storyline was smashed to tiny bits...In this one episode alone-they zipped through The entire vol. 37 graphic novel and two chapters in the next one...

They Missed an awesome part which eggs on Miroku and Sango's relationship due to a mosquito youkai-and which starts Inu's little thing for butterflies, ignored the bonding Kohaku had with Taichi and his father, didn't show Sango fighting alongside Kohaku-they put her approaching him in the spot, they also skipped a second meeting between Kagura, Hakudoushi and Gouryoumaru, they didn't even have Inuyasha become human like he was supposed to for the fight with Gouryoumaru & Mouryoumaru, They had Hakudoushi give Mouryoumaru the shard-when it was Gouryoumaru who stole it from Kagome to become Mouryoumaru, they totally skipped over Sesshoumaru coming out to fight Mouryoumaru and Didn't show Mouryuoumaru getting beaten to bits when Inu becomes hanyou again. They failed to show Mouryoumaru trying to reabsorb Kagura like he did in the manga, and they did not line up what happened to Kagura with Hakudoushi when he got sucked up by the Kazanna correctly...

All this they didn't do-and instead they stuck Kikyou and Kouga randomly in as well as Kagome at school with Inuyasha showing up in the halls randomly-which...did not belong there at all.

So, I'm sorry-but First episode...was a grave dissappointment...and shat all over the real story.

I hope and pray that ep 2 will be somewhat redeeming-if not...I'll have to give this continuation a 2 on the scale of 1-10, 10 being fantastic and 1 being horribly terribly lousey.

Okay...yeah...it's official. Inuyasha Kanketsuhen SUCKS.

They are skipping over TONS of stuff, and screwing up the time-line SOO horribly I really don't know which end is up! I mean-really...The second anime has NO meat to it at all. It's just a bare exoskellaton. I thought fillers were bad...Fast Forwarding is even worse...x_X

Been three eps and this "second series" is getting two HUGE thumbs Down. It's horrible. The only thing I can say for it is the art is better. That's it. The rest...it's trash.

[Lockon S.]

It's not a total loss. I was actually expecting that would happen, though I didn't think it would take them 5 eps to slow down. It's slowed down now, and there's some real meat in the latest eps out now.

And before issues about stuff being left out come up, that was the reason the original Inuyasha had such a hard time. They want to end it as fast as possible, and as long as they keep the pace they have right now, I'm satisfied.

They just need to catch the important moments a little better, like Seshy being sad for Rin. Other than that, I think Inuyasha will make it with a passing grade. Personally, I'm impressed they managed to catch up the entire series in less than 3 eps.

And as of Monday Inuyasha in the production world is officially dead. So to speak. 14 years and all of its serialization has finally met it's end.
