THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Kagome is back for test.

Mouryoumaru in the jail, but is fighting against Kouga. Escaped when Kikyou attacked him. Kohaku, who regained memory, with Kagura is searching for Naraku's heart.

Mouryoumaru = Goryoumaru, which inside has Naraku's heart w. the akago.

Hakudoushi has been defeated.

Goryoumaru got Kohaku. The group found him.

I'm glad that it begins with manga story.

Both OP & ED were cool!

and the VIZ stream is still MIA. Oh well.

So it went right into the things relevant to the main plot skipping any side story chapters (a.k.a. that medicine seller thing)?

Guess I'll find out first hand soon enough.

I'm a bit mad about some of the stuff they've changed.

I guess calling it aggressively fast pasted would be a bit of an understatement, but with (supposedly) only 26 episodes to finish it off with... I'll have to get used to it.

As others said, I'm surprised it's moving so fast (I haven't read the manga btw)
Doesn't help that my memory is only vague on what was happening at the end of the last season and I don't feel like re-watching any of that.

Is there a way/place to watch it with higher quality than http://shonensunday.com/anime/?

True, I feel like they have rushed things. But still it was a great episode. I like the new opening. I wonder how many episodes will they make. Hopefully not 26. I would not mind 100 or so.

It will take me some time before I get used to their Japanese voices but I will cope. Inuyasha's voice just irritates me.

Yay, no filler~
It did feel a tad bit rushed, though...are they trying to stuff all the rest of the material into something shorter than 100 episodes this time or something? :O
I loved it though, I'm so happy to see Inuyasha animated again :D
I'm going to rewatch it in higher quality ASAP~

Way too rushed... But, the main aspect I hated about how FMA2 was being rushed wasn't in this, so I didn't mind it too much.

For the most part, I had no clue what was going on... Watched the first season ages ago, and the manga too... I also felt some voices sounded abit different.

OP - Don't like the verses too much, but the chorus was nice.
ED - Loved it.

Kappei Yamaguchi's voice does seem to have gotten very slightly deeper, but mostly it's just you lol.

I'm looking forward to the next episode, since Sesh is awesome.

I've watched Inuyasha so many times in the past that it was actually starting to get on my nerves. But I'm happy to say that it was really nostalgic to see this story continue. The art in the first episode was great. All the colors were really vivid and the backgrounds seemed to be very well done. Animation was fluid and most of the original characters where there. I really hope they settle down a little bit in the episodes to come, because this first episode was literally crammed full of different story arcs that should really get their own episodes. It's kinda crazy that they amongst all the mayhem of re-introducing EVERYONE...



But still, I was pleased to see this show again. As for comparing this to the fiasco of FMA: B. This is a true sequel, not a compressed alternate version.

While I really hated the fact they're going to compile like, 21 volumes worth of manga in a tiny 26 ep, i'm still really really happy they decided to finish Inuyasha, anime version.

Non manga viewers will not understand a lot and think it's too fast paced...

Not to mention at the rate things are going, Kagura will... sigh, I was hoping otherwise (stay longer, at least).

Of course, the OP is instant LOVE (have been a DAI fan and always will be :3)
ED is pretty cool too.

Overall, 10!!!!!

I haven't watched the first season, only read up to 41st volume, but I still want to watch this. And it was kinda surprise that it continued straight from the end of the first season (or am I wrong ? It just felt like that)

The OP was kinda boring ... Didn't like that much. But I do liked the animation. And it wasn't even a filler episode, yey \o And the pacing was nice imo. And the ED was really nice !

Jump straight into the second season and who give a damn about the first season and manga.

And to all who said this is going to be an 26 episodes, just where do you get the idea from?

Well honestly I don't think anyone really said it would be exactly 26 episodes. However I personally believe it'll be around that many episodes because most anime shows nowadays are green-lit for either 12-13 episodes or 24-26 episodes. And with the way the first episode covered I think roughly 10 chapters, it seems possible.

LOL,if they keep it at the same pace,the whole story will be finished in less than 10 episodes.They should slow down a bit. And now,my first impressions on this episode :

Opening : Wow,Kagome in highschool uniform,she looks very mature. Except that,the opening was nice and flashy but the song bored me to tears.

Graphic: Slightly improved,more colorful than I last remember ,but generally the same.

Sound : Exactly the same.No improvements at all. And the voice actors are exactly the same.Most probably their voices changed a bit,after all,5 years have past.

Plot/Action : Very,very rushed.Too rushed for my taste. After watching the episode I was thinking something like "What the hell just happened ?! " . They MUST slow the pace.

Ending : Really cool ! I loved it ! Inuyasha and Kagome were cute with their fingers tied by the "red string of fate".

Overall rating: 7/10. It could have been so much better !!! But I guess we should be grateful that it gets continued after all this time.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

It feels a little different though but that's probably because I watched the first 167 dubbed and this one is subbed 0_o

It's ok if it's rushed.

I waited so long to see the ending that i forgot most part of the main storry already.

So what is inuyasha about? What is the main story? I honestly can't remember at least half of the important stuff and i don't feel like rewatching ....

Well anyways now since it's rushed i probably will remember the first episode of this season by the time they finish it. So i am glad about that.

OMG...
It is really rushed... almost 2 volumes were stuffed into one part... they left out so much good InuKag, Sango-Miroku scene, not to mention Sesshoumaru and Kagura... there were so much events in the manga...
OK, I know that it never will be the same, but at least... they could have given it more episodes, and go deeper into the story and the feelings... When Inu was in Kagome world.. When I read it, I hoped that it will be a full-parted episode... and its gotten into one minute XD
However, I am happy that I was able to see Inu again. The graphic is nice, the voice actors are the same, the opening and ending is just perfect!

Yeah, I agree.
A lot of things happened during these 20 minutes... hard to understand the plot.
I really don't remember things they mentioned in this episode :| like Naraku's heart, the infants, Goryomaru or whatever the name was, and the Myoromamasjfhashjhmaru bla. They're the same? Blagh, I want a recap episode, lol.

I'm so lost. I wish I had the motivation to watch the first season so I'd be more into this all. It's been so long since I've seen it.

I thought it wasn't bad. This is my first time watching IY with subs, but the voices weren't bad.

Nice start, picked up right where it left off. It was lil too rushed I hope they don't do that with the whole season, the best part of Inuyasha were their adventures just walking around fuedal Japan saving the day and kicking demon ass, I hope they don't cut that out just get all the plot points inb4 the end!! I watched Inu dubbed, so I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch this subbed or wait for the dub to come out. It really depends on how many shows I watch from the fall season, but I'm already up to like 5 w/o this one, so it's safe to say I'll be waiting for the dub!! Urahara Out!!
