Awh, I'm so glad it's back <3

anyway things were obviously mega rushed, holy moly. I'm glad I read the manga though. I hope I see my favorite chapters animated and not skipped over, I would totally have been fine with another 100+ show too, wahhh. Oh well. I'm still in love.

Wow, I loved OP and ED. Hakudoushi rebel against Naraku was a surprise to me, was a great first episode 10/10.

Meh, same old Inuyasha. I was mildly interested, but nothing really new.

With that being said the OP and ED were Boss. The animation was also great, more like the animation in the 4 previously released movies than the series itself.

This was such a bad looking episode. It looks practically the same as the end of the first season, with laughable lack of animation. Maybe it was Hulu, but I highly doubt it. Besides that, lots of stuff I don't remember got resolved, and listening to the Japanese voice cast is an adjustment.

lol even after i dropped the other tv show i feel like i haven't missed much after watching this. in fact i feel can wait till the last episode and i still will not have missed much.

maybe this time there wont be a kagome<> inuyasha back to forth session for 50 episodes. or was that only in the US version.

Haha it's been so long since I watched the original anime and read that part of the manga that I forgot what happened XDD But I think it's coming back (need to rewatch!! :D )

But yeah, they really jumped right into it without recapping much >__< Like the crystals, I vaguely remember something about them... I hope they aren't trying to fit everything into 26 eps... at least make it 50-ish....

Yay for same/similar soundtrack and stuff, makes me feel all nostalgic XD though no fancy eyecatch >__<

It'll take me some getting used to the Japanese voices (more used to the English actually XD)

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

Aww but I love the medicine seller chapter, good Sango/Miroku moments >__<

I can't wait to see Kagura's subplot animated =3

Just what I thought, too XD But I liked it... it was a good first episode... a bit rushed but I loved the fact that they basically tried to squish in every character they possibly could into this first epi... it was like An Inu Yasha (Christmas XD) Reunion Special with everyone there lol
But rushed or not, I'm just really happy Inu is back and that they're bringing the anime to an end... over the last few years it never stoped bugging me that they just ended the anime the way they did. so yay for completing it.

Loved the opening <3 But Inu Yasha always had great openings :3

been quite awhile since I read that part of the manga but dear god did they rush that.. hopefully they'll just use the first couple eps to bring ppl up to speed then have more of a normal flow. but curious to see what else from manga makes the cut and what doesn't from here til the end

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.


We are in agreeement on the pacing it was .. like wow wtf ? but I mean manga volumes 36 - 56. thats 20 volumes in 26 episodes... ... so I was right the Hiatus would end .. but I do hope they dont mess up to so much that I stop watching heh. Afterall I have the manga

That was....fast. Like most people, I hardly remember much but the pace wasn't leaving me with any kind of 'emotional' attachment to the characters. 26 episodes...that may be the recipe for a flop.

Wow that was horrible. They should have done a reintroduction(For those of us that watched the Japanese version it's been 5 years since the show ended) and kept the same pacing as the original series. What's the point in doing it at all if they're not going to do it right?

Even though its been several years since I watched Inuyasha, I remember almost everything that happened with the main story.
So I was a little confused at the start since I don't remember Hakudoshi betraying Naraku in the first series. Though that explained it self rather quickly.

Beside that, this episode felt very familiar. The characters, animation, and even the background music remained almost unchanged.
I was expecting an upgrade in animation quality at the very least.

Well, I was irked by the way the first series ended. So I'm hoping to finally see a half-decent conclusion to this once and for all.

They seem to have shrunk 1 volume into 1 episode.
They should have put the fight between Goryoumaru & Sesshoumaru to show how useless Goryoumaru really was back then.
I just hope they don't shrink:

They are some of the most emotional scenes in the manga.

I'm super happy the series will FINALLY be given the proper ending, and there are so many scenes from the many that I wanted to see animated, so in that respect this series will be awesome...

... but am I the only one who felt bombarded by stuff happening? XD At the end I felt like A LOT happened; is the pacing faster than in the first chunk of the series? Everything was happening so fast and Hakudoushi died really quickly... Well everything happened pretty quickly.

Anyways, it was good. Happy to watch Inuyasha again. :)

Rushed, rushed, rushed. That's what you get for making 26 episodes for a season of Inuyasha. Too short. If it's only these 26, it's gonna be rushed and way too short. And disappointing. I'll wait to see it, though.

Wow. It's been so long! Really happy the anime is back. It's moving wayyy too fast for me though. Randomly goes from one thing to the next in 5 seconds. x_x

And Inuyasha's voice annoys me. Probably because I was used to watching in on TV, which was in english.

Overall, pretty good. KOGA IS BACK! ^___^

Yes, the series is only 26 episodes. It answers almost all the questions viewers have to except for questions like "what's going to happen in the distant future?"
My first impression of the new series was that the animation improved a great deal from the first series. The song's catchy too. Overall, the series is really satisfying ;D
