(L) Inuyasha: The Final Act

[blewin]

Spoiler for Ep 6:

I can't remember from the manga whether Kohaku dies in the end and whether Miroku manages to recover.

I'm sad to see Miroku out of action (though he's been out of action for a long time anyway because of Naraku's bugs). Looks like we won't be seeing much of him for the time being.

[-Sho-]

Episode 6 :

I kinda feels that the action moves fast , well it don't bother me .
Moryoumaru is finally dead . Lol the fight was hilarious though . "I absorb you" "no , its me who will absorb you" etc ...
And Sango why do you keep calling Miroku "Monk" , we know that both of you are lover XD

[Guardian Enzo]

That was perhaps the best of the first 6 eps. Pacing was more measured, and it adapted the manga material pretty faithfully. I continue to be amazed at the consistently high quality Sunrise is able to produce visually. Even the OP sequence with Shippo and Jaken is beautifully animated.

[Kanish]

Nice episode. It would've been nicer if they didn't spoil the surprise in the episode title itself.

To some extent, I'm glad that Moryoumaru is gone. Never liked the way he looked. Also, the way he appears and disappears like team rocket was starting to get old.

It was also nice that none of the good guys ended up getting killed. Although I never imagined Miroku would try to be the hero and get himself killed. This is one thing I don't like about the final act. Sango and Miroku have really been reduced to being extras often being of no use at all, so it was so weird having him just step out into the spotlight all of a sudden.

Spoiler for Episode 7 Spoilers:

Major plus points for Kagome's character in this episode.

Best scene of epi. 7:

Sess: Rin, don't touch him. Those snakes are venomous

Rin: But one bit Master Jaken

Jaken: Save me, Lord Sesshomaru
......it hurts~

So funny

[Kirvee]

Spoiler for ep 7:

- Loved Kagome in this!

- W-What happened to the pacing?! Don't tell me we're back to the guy who did the first few episodes.....I swear, everything was jumping this episode. There were next to no transitions ;-;.

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

Pacing was still an issue with me this episode, however, even with the pacing this was one of my favorite episodes so far.

Spoiler for ep 7:

I wish they could've given Kagomes rant on Kikyou towards the end a bit more time, but they still pulled it off really well.

Yeah I suppose Miroku was a little angry about being turned into a glorified spectator of events. Although it nearly killed him he definitely made an impact. Kind of got the reactions of "oh right he can be dangerous with that thing" . Right now the only time Sango does anything is when it's about Kohaku, and Miroku when it's about comforting Sango about Kohaku. Sometimes you have to step up even if your not getting any power ups like Inuyasha.

I really liked episode 7, especially

Spoiler for episode 7:

Kagome's realization that she didn't need to be jealous of Kikyo.

Spoiler for episode 8 & end of series:

I can't remember Kikyo and Inuyasha's final good-bye in the manga, but after seeing the preview for episode 8 (and the kiss between Kikyo and Inuyasha), I really hope that the anime gives us a kiss between Kagome and Inuyasha. That was my one disappointment with the ending of the manga.

[Guardian Enzo]

I thought the pacing was OK here, actually - the key seems to be sticking with one or two interconnected settings rather than the insufferable cross-cutting we saw in 01. Sunrise did a pretty good job covering the Mt. Azusa scenes, and communicating the conflict in Kagome and Kikyou's minds. Nice improvement seems to be happening - the next couple of eps are going to cover some absolutely crucial material, so I hope they can keep it up.

[Kirvee]

@amyjo:

Spoiler for response to second spoiler:

Being an InuKag fan, the preview made me cringe. I have a feeling next episode will make me a little sick, but meh. It's Inuyasha and I have a site to maintain.

[Miyuki-ism]

Spoiler:

Well I'm an InuKik fan, so the happiness comes with the sadness I guess.

[Mashed]

The next episode preview is a pretty big spoiler for what happens in the next episode. D:

Spoiler for Episode Seven:

I thought the Kagome and Kikyo on the cliff was awesome, but the part where Kagome was telling Kikyo off sounded like she was saying her lines too quickly. However, I thought the rest of the episode's pacing was fine.

Also, like the others, I'm hoping for

Spoiler for Ending of Manga:

an InuKag kiss. :D

[kitten320]

Yay for InuKik kiss!

I'm not big KagInu fan, sorry.

Besides they got their kiss in second movie, so you can't complain

[FlareKnight]

Anyways was a good episode. Naraku as always puts together a string of plots. Really plans things several steps ahead. Oh well if anything this was good for Kagome to face herself a little and overcome her own doubts.

Sesshomaru is going to get that guy eventually. Seems to be taking up the role of the guy who runs for it when things get rough. Of course Jaken gets bit by a snake .

[OkamiNoKaze]

Watched episode 5 and 6 tonight, they were pretty cool, I liked that flat guy. as for episode 6, I do so hate when episode titles spoil the story, why do people do that. Though I do have to wonder what effect if any will be had from Miruko sucking in that blue orb.

Is it just me or does this thread seem less lively compared to the original InuYasha series? It's almost like everyone forgot or gave up on the series already.

I wish there were a separate section for this series, rather than just being included in the Licensed thread.

As for the latest episode:

Spoiler for 8:

Sunrise continues to deliver on the animation quality and direction. Pacing was spot on, as well.

I believe most people would garner more sympathy for Kikyo's character now. Extremely well animated scene near the end of the episode.

Also, was it Dearest playing in the background when Kikyo was in InuYasha's arms? That song feels awesomely nostalgic.

[Lugia_Tsuyu]

Sessshomaru x Rin fans, prepare yourselves! Next episode is the bomb!!! It'll make you go "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" and then "Awwwwwww >////< <3 <3"

Looking forward to it >_<

It was that playing. I never thought they'd use that music again. I think the only other time it was used was in an old filler episode, but here it was used much more effectively.

I guess the fan of the original series back in 2003 "grow up" and move on I guess, like me :-/ (sorta). btw Does anyone know the TV rating and the 2ch popularity of this series?
