Titles revealed for episodes 3 through 8 (UPDATED!)

What was first speculated on 2ch.net is now fact after Sony Music Shop [1][2]  and a magazine (pictured above) have confirmed the titles for episodes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

It looks like Sunrise is doing things out of order and I don't like it.

As for the pace, it continues to be absolutely shocking.

Studio DEEN's "Umineko no Naku Koro ni" may have a contender for worst anime adaptation of 2009. If the episode titles and what we've seen so far are anything to judge by, Inuyasha The Final Act is shaping up to be quite a trainwreck.

Edit: In a bit of good news, Fey tipped me off that the anime's producer, Michihiko Suwa of ytv, promised on his blog that episode 2 will be absolutely gorgeous and legendary in nature. Thanks Fey!

But for Lord Sesshomaru to get that move so soon…They're rushing way too much.

As much as I love Sesshy-sama, doing this out of order is gonna have some serious repercussions. As hardcore Inuyasha fans, we just have to hope that they have planned out the entire storyline for the series to avoid serious screwups…

Well, it's all but confirmed now that Tokijin will break in ep2.  The big question is whether this happens after Kagura dies, like it should, or before Kagura dies, as indicated by animation from the preview and trailer.

From the link, it looks like the DVD will be on sale in Japan right away.  Is that so?

OMG im speaking as a person right now, but GOOD LORD it takes 50 chapters which is like 25 or 30 episode to see the Dragon Scaled Sword. NORMALLY and under normal circumstances.
 
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!!!
 
Again I am inclined to let people know about contacting the animation studio. By email, by something, good LORD if i can get a phone number i will go this far to do it.
 
SOMEBODY GET AN EMAIL OUT.
 
Hey STARKS not trying to be rude here, but dude can you give me a phone number to call someone who can get a message to Sunrise animation about the terrible means of continuation of the anime.
 
Can u email me again?

Yeah, I'm sure starks has the japanese number for sunrise on speed dial. Of course email from Americans will do so much to change a plan that was made months in advance. Yeah, the show's gonna suck, but quit acting like a dumbass because it just makes it worse.

Tokijin breaks before Kagura's death. I know it does, he has it when fighting MOryoumaru, and in the trailer, he doesn't when he's with Kagura.

Seriously, WHAT THE F*CK?!?!? This is too fast! I don't care what anybody says to try and console me, this is ridiculous! Completely stupid! Way to fast! Oh my god!!! For the love of cupcakes they better not skip Sesshomaru's mom! People are gonna be PISSED!!!!

@ CURIOUS ONE
 
You've already beaten me by someone acting like a dumbass. And by the way anime can be changed just like special features can be added in BR/DVD in live action films. We could ask for bonus content.
 
On top of that we NOW KNOW what episode 3 and 4 will be. Things have already become worse so shut the fuck up and learn to respect opinions even if you disagree with them.
 
If you can't share mutual discussion I advise you not even come on these boards. The important thing is that the next episodes will be a fucking train wreck, or Hurrican Katrina.

If you can actually compare a tv show to a disaster that killed hundreds of people, then you are obviously not worthy of anyone's respect. I feel like I have lowered myself in even responding to you. However, if you can somehow actually get Sunrise to change the show, I might change my opinion. Right now though, you're just a hypocritical idiot.

No problem for the tip-off.
The titles may sound ominous, but nonetheless, I'll hold back one what I'll have to say till after the episodes air. Who knows, perhaps the producers may have managed to rearrange the events and concoct…a miracle? We'll see! (Although I feel like I'm trying desperately to be optimistic & I wonder what Rumiko thinks of this)
I'm still taking Michihiko's word for tomorrow's alleged awesome episode.

As long as the story makes sense, and doesn't change what happens in the manga overall, it wouldn't be that much of a problem. We'll see.
And don't worry people, the producers will never cut out the walking fan-wish-fulfillment that is Sesshomaru's mom. :) I don't think they're that insane.

Starks,just out of pure curiosity,do you have anything to do with a fan-subbing group named "STARKS IS A GIGANTIC FAGOT" ? Here's what I'm talking about :

SailorK, I have nothing to do with that group.

For the moment, I don't care enough to do anything about it.

'-.-

Seems like this is going to be FIFTEEN episodes. Way….too….fast….And so SCRAMBLED!!!! And maybe the last one refers to when Kikyo is dying.

If they're doing this….they better start the anime ALL over again once they're done! Episode one to however many episodes are needed! They could remove fillers from the first set of episodes, slow down on these…
It could happen.
Right?

Man, I can dream…

Wow, it just keeps getting more and more retarded. 1st really chopped up quick episodes and now the scrambling of chapters in a really chopped up quick episodes. I mean, WTF? Someone at Sunrise got a vendetta against RT? Wouldn't she have final say over how her work is being animated? I think she would unless she's approving this sort of slop to be served up on a silver platter in dixie cup. Not good if she is. I'm gonna put that thought out of my mind and pretend I never typed it.

I really don't understand how they can take a gold mine and turn into a coal mine.

This is sort of reminiscent of the dot com fiasco back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Get a great idea, start a great company, hire a bunch of ppl, get the latest technology, change mgmnt several times, and then because of all the mgmnt changes, the company has $$ problems, fires all its employess and files bankruptcy.

I don't know if there's been mgmnt changes with IY but sure seems there has and the changes that've been made to the animated series have pissed off alot of fans. There just may be a slight drop in a fanbase and revenue if more changes are made.

Its really disappointing to see IY go out like this.

We'll always have the manga.

Look, I don't claim to know much but here's what I do know:
Wasn't what we hated about the original Inuyasha anime the fillers that dragged out the story and ultimately prevented it's proper conclusion?  Granted there are significant story lines in these last chapters, personally, I would rather they told me the story and poignantly ended it.  It's not such a bad thing if they are speeding things up, so long as they finish the end chapters correctly.  And if you consider it, maybe that's what they're doing.  Maybe they're squeezing all the early chapters together so theat they can save the majority of the episodes to properly end the saga.  And in the end, isn't that all we really wanted, to see the anime end?

i do agree on the episode mix up controversy, as well as they're shitty decision to exclude RT.

Cool!! Im so excited. I prefer a concise and objective anime! Why are you always complaining about? You're never happy. Things are like they are. We should sit back and appreciate. You can't think that all episodes will suck! At least they did it.
I don't care if you dont like! I just love it. It's my opinion.

@DIANA
 
I get where your coming from but to watch a seemingly rushed anime, that takes away from the original storytelling of the manga is outragous.
 
Character development gets disrupted. Its ok to complain about this since the quality is having a noticable and declining drop. To be honest i would rather wait longer for an anime execution with the effort of 52 episodes than a rushed, and altered 26 ep.
 
For me just reading the manga and knowing theres some form of these stories being told, is enough for me. The show is going to suck because the pace is disgusting, and Sunrise is still doing it.
 
THE COMPLAINTS ARE JUSTIFIED

Take a chill pill! I know where you're coming from though.
I kinda like how they showed how the world was fading away from Kagura's point of view. I do not have major complaints about this episode actually(:

I felt like again, too many storylines to cover in 20 minutes. It wasn't as bad as last week overall though.
