I'm not very fond that the producers for the second series took the decision of compacting the rest of the manga within a few batch of episodes or a single season, since this causes to have lots of substantious manga subplots getting chipped off or dropped. Nevertheless, I'm quite glad with the pacing for the second series, since they can keep on with moving from story arcs with no need of dragging breaks in-between the episodes.

Spoiler for Episode 7:

Spoiler for Episode 7: They were faithful with the plot points for the story arc involving Naraku reabsorbing his negative heart and using Onigumos' evil feelings to lure Kikyou and InuYasha and tainting Kagome's heart with jealousy of that fateful tragedy from 50-years-ago. It was Naraku's intention for Kikyou to let Kagome go to Mt. Azusa, because Kagome at the end would not earn the sacred bow scot-free without later being tested by the guardian spirit of Mt. Azusa. IMO, it was a tactic to stall Kagome and buy enough time for Naraku to land the killing blow on Kikyou, forever.
