(L) Inuyasha: The Final Act

[Kirvee]

So by episode 3 I can say with finality that they have slowed the pace down. At least, the beginning felt like an episode from the first series. Pace only picked up a little awkwardly once Shippou's exam started. I don't think they handled the part with that tanuki-demon-who-likes-to-be-a-girl well pacing wise (one second she's on Shippou's ball form, next second they're behind a random tree?) But even that part eventually slowed down until the end.

And the MirSan moments were adorable <3.

Inuyasha - Final Act Ep 3, opinion + screen caps:

Spoiler for Inuyasha - Final Act Ep 3:

Rather pleasant episode, I definitively loved the whole "reforging" of Tenseiga and its sexy power. But even more amusing was the fact that Sesshi seems to have opened up to his feelings a lil more because of my ooh so sweet Kagura (who I'll never forget)



Also, I was quite amused to see Totosai's entrance... the old man knows how to show up in style! I don't think anyone riding a 3 eyed bull could pull that one off lol



The whole explanation about Tenseiga's new power was kinda neat, but I do hope to see Tenseiga/Sesshi developing another cool technique such as a Dragon strike or something like that, seeing as tho how Tetsusaiga is getting so many powerups lately...



BUT nothing surprised me more than to see Sango stroking Miroku's ass!! lol that was positively pure win right there! I didn't need anything else after that scene ... I was like OHHHH PERFECT 10 episode right there! lolz

@CuXe: My love for Sango grew to a new level after I saw that, XD.

After watching episode two, there are no longer doubts in my mind that Sunrise means it to finish at adapting the rest of the manga in 26 anime episodes.

As much as it hurts me a little bit knowing that InuYasha is going to end within a six-month time period from now, nevertheless, I praised Sunrise for one thing and one thing only: to me they are improving the rhythm of the pacing at how the events are following.

Spoiler:

The whole episode revolved around Kagura's death. The beauty of her last moments lie that for the first time ever Sesshoumaru actually showed a honest heart onscreen without feigning his feelings.

He came to see Kagura, because he thought of her. The moment that she heard those words coming from Sesshoumaru, Kagura became complete and lastly obtained not the freedom she always sought, but the freedom she always desired.

In spite of the monstruous and cruel things, she did previously in the story I could not help but sobbing for her.

[Xagzan]

It's gonna be in 26 episodes, not under 26.

I wonder what special magic Sunrise uses to make Inuyasha. The animation is always so consistently good, for all the 167 eps I remember seeing and now they've sped up the pace x10 while also improving the animation as well. They either have a very talented studio or had poured tons of money on the old episodes and are pouring even more on the new ones with the extreme pacing. Then I see the usual shounen-esque anime nowadays, both old and new, like Bleach, Naruto, Fairy Tales, One Piece, etc., and I shudder. A long series shouldn't make for a giant dip in quality. Sadly Inuyasha is more like the only pretty duckling out of the lot.

I love episode 3. It's back to the good Inuyasha fun! Thought the anime might only run for 26 episodes, still, it isn't Inuyasha without these fun moments. Go Shippo!

The magic is in a seemingly inexhaustable amount of funding and connections in just about every area of the industry. They can consistently afford to hire the best musical composers, animators and voice actors and to more or less snap their fingers and have them all show up again to do a sequel series 5 years after everyone went their seperate ways. The only thing they really have to resign themselves to making do with are some of the restrictions that Bandai puts on them along with the sponsors.

I've actually been watching Keroro Gunsou again, which is by them and still can't help but notice that the quality of the show has remained consistant throughout without even a hint of a drop in the animation style and wham bam delivery of the skits. This is on like episode 64 which looks just as good as episode one or another other show in the series.

That said don't ask me to ever try and explain Kurokami. Even I'm at a loss for what the heck happened with that one on every level of the production.

[TheWin]

I'm really exicted for this. But by the context, I'm guessing it already came out? Exciting!! I'm going to watch it, Inuyasha was one of my first anime, I watched it before I knew what anime was, so it's special to me.

That's all I can say. I mean I can't really claim Ranma or Inuyasha endings don't have weaknesses, but Maison Ikkoku is probably the single best ending I have ever seen.

[Alchemist007]

This ep was fun. Ass strokes + tomfoolery. Also underworld = random part of space = lol.

[FlareKnight]

Well episode 3 was nice. Definitely found the whole Sango moment pretty entertaining. Never thought I'd see her using Miroku's own habit like that .

Tenseiga lucks out as well in gaining a pretty handy attacking power. Pretty instant kill but not like Sesshomaru is a huge fan of dragging things out. Is just like the guy to instantly be able to use a new technique like that.

[Kaioshin Sama]

The last I recall Tenseiga was only capable of bringing things back to life or something and was useless as a weapon. Shows how far I got in the original series eh?

Well, that just changed this episode, so it really doesn't show anything.

[Mr. DJ]

just finished the first episode...it kinda felt like I got punched in the face with a couple reminders from the show (Miroku shouldn't use his damn wind tunnel when those bees are present and InuYasha should learn to use the correct attack the first time), but overall I liked it.

[SuperKnuckles]

Ah, good old Shippo antics. Good old times.

I'm surprised that with all the powerleveling and shonen/shoujo-archetypes still present, I'm enjoying this season a lot. Not only nostalgic, but the comedic timing is as good as ever. And Sesshoumaru is still the good old Byakuya prototype.
