KagomeKagome: Yeah especially if it's animeinsider. They are… speshul. I do remember an interview with RT from Animerica on the third movie where she said she kind of just lets the writers do whatever they want, and that she has very little involvement because of that. I have a feeling that being that they have been making anime of her work for almost thirty years now, she just doesn't care too much how loyal it is anymore. I mean by this point, why bother? XD

Absolutely on the first movie. It's such a cut above the rest. It's the only one to me that feels like an actual "InuYasha" (manga) storyline. The second one is cute/good, but not amazing.

Hm, it was either Anime Insider or Animerica where I got that from, Kel. Probably AI. They have a habit of screwing up information. They really screwed up this one because the way they wrote it, Papa WAS designed by Takahashi, and she'd even given the writers the age estimate. Geez, figures I read some faulty info from them.

Eh, the only movie I really liked was the first one, as it's more in line with the book/show, and well, I have to admit a soft spot for the kiss in the second movie.

KagomeKagome: I'm not sure what interview you're talking about but the only thing RT actively commented on the movie was not to show Inupapa's face. She didn't even design Papa. The rest she said she left up to the writers. Just like every other anime filler, the third movie is 100% non canon. (Especially those ages. Ugh. >> )

Starks: Really the movie was disproved as far back as volume two, and also in the character book almost a year before the movie came out.

*Does not get all the third movie love. Thinks it's one of the worst and most OOC things the anime did*

Pfft. Kagura… He's probably long forgotten about her.

I would hope that he would be true to his word to Kagura…when he accepted Tensaiga…and her spirit came on him like that…I hope that was a nod to his future intent to still avenge her death in some way. I think that he probably will exit soon…but I hope that arc/relationship is not ignored.

Which confuses me, honestly, because I had read on some damn site that she had worked with whomever on that script. Movie 3 was based on how she saw the past (with a few exceptions, of course), but I'll be damned if she didn't go and change everything, just when I was getting used to the idea of everyone's ages and such. I get over things such as this easily though. Eh.

So yes, why would anyone bother to bring up the sword from the movie when it should be obvious by now that the movies are seriously AU and should be enjoyed just for "fun story"'s sake and not "this is canon" sake.

Bah, forgive my grammar skills, please. It's late here. I hope that previous paragraph made sense.

God, why do people even bring up Sou'unga? Volumes 49 and 50 have already thoroughly disproved the non-canon facts presented in movie 3.

Sesshoumaru's intent is beneath me. Instead of fighting and possibly losing my powers, I personally would take my sword and head for the hills if it need be. After all, why take care of things with unnescessary violence?

I still say that whether or not Sesshoumaru stays past this battle is dependent on whether or not he still wants to avenge Kagura – if he does want to, then he should hang for a while longer. If not, there's no reason for him to remain. He should have his story resolved, and then he should wander off into the sunset to go bake cookies with Rin or something.

I do hate saying that, because he is my favorite character, after all.

As much as I would hate to admit it, I do think that Sesshoumaru is about to exit the story. I am among the fangirls, though not crazed as many are, who are willing to put the truth before my wants. I honestly don't see how RT would write Sess into the final battle. She seems to be trying to remove everyone except for the main cast. It's going to be hard enough trying to use the whole Inu-tachi to defeat Naraku when Inuyasha and Kagome will be the main two characters of focus for the finale.

As for the current battle, Inuyasha is going to absorb the MZ or my socks will fly across the room If Sesshoumaru does not exit the story you can bet I'll be jumping for joy. However, these outcomes would only mean that there are more chapters, than I am hoping for, to come. RT has mastered the art of having characters exit gracefully (i.e. Kagura) though not expected. Sesshoumaru's exit is being hinted greatly ahead of time in order to give us fangirls time to come to grips with reality and enjoy his last hurrah! T_T OK I am one of those crazy fangirls who doesn't want him to go. STAY SESSHY PLEASE DONT LEAVE US RT ARE YOU READING THIS!
