I like the episodes where they focus on a small part of one segment and primarily focus on a big segment. But I fear they'll keep the horrid pacing making the only saving grace of this rebirth a mere few episodes here and there….
Though I'm still keeping my judgments reserved until its finished.

This episode was great and entertaining from start to finish. It was cohesive and not as choppy as some of the others. It flowed quite well. They put IY's burned hands in this one. Probably sounds sadistic but see my last post. ^^

INUYASHA ANIME EXAMINER PISSED OFF

November 1, 2009 @ 4:23 pm

In this weeks review I must say im both impressed and sickened by a few important details. A lot of which were cut and DONT ADD upon Curious Mystery of other characters in this series.

Kanna NOT making the move to betray Naraku is one of the most appauling CUTS Sunrise Animation disgusts me with.

Not only did they cut one set of sequences, they also cut character development like Kannas, Kinkas and Ginka's INTEGRAL TO THE OVERALL STORY.

In the manga Moryomaru again reforms himself and while that happens Kanna appears to him informing Moryomaru that she has betrayed Naraku as well and that his demons were pursuing her. Even humans got to see her being chased. In the MANGA Kanna informs Moryomaru about a suggestion to strengthen his armored Shell. In the ANIME the infant somehow knows of Kinka and Ginkas existence and understands what they're species symbolizes???

In WHAT SHOULDVE BEEN THE TRUE INUYASHA ADAPTATION, Kinkia and Ginka are demons who were originally two heads in one worm like body. One head was supposed to devour the other in order to stop the equal pace of thier own fighting each other. HELL!!! They even slept and woke up at the same time to prevent ONE FROM CATCHING THE OTHER OFF GUARD!! Kinka and Ginkas backstory was never explianed in the anime!! SO how is the average anime fan supposed to know as to why those characters were even there??

Moryomaru and the infant did not ever know of this until Kanna pointed it out!!! SOMEHOW in the anime they knew what those LIGHTNING and FIRE demons were meant for???? THATS JUST LIKE WHEN Moryomaru asked Kagura about who Sesshomaru was??? In the anime Moryomaru SOMEHOW KNEW WHO HE WAS?? WITHOUT EXPLANATION??? I cant believe im seeing this again!!

On the good hand, i read and checked most of the manga, and they did cram a little material. Initally this training dragon scale arc with Master Taisei was about 7 chapters. The pace was well said and done. Each character actually gave themselves respect to let other people breathe and talk at a normal pace, something that was only done in episode 3!!

THEY ALSO CUT the SENKI part, in the MANGA they had the story of a human who became a Nikosen tree demon that devoured others.  Naraku sent Byakuya to make a deal with the Hermit demon that he would recieve a Jewel Shard if he could successfully kill Inuyasha. Inuyasha was able to slice the body of the hermit in two and each went speperate ways. Byakuya captured one and killed it upon learning that the other HALF was fighting Inuyasha. Inuyasha killed the demon for an ingredient that would prevent his hands from burning up during the Tessaigas ABSORBTION or Regurgiation of demonic aura. Naraku had lied to the Nikosen demon and was secretly strengthening Inuyasha to be able to weaken NOT KILL MORYOMARU. IN THE ANIME I AM PISSED THAT THEY WENT SO FAR AS TO CUT THAT ENTIRE CONCEPT. Not all that explanation was clear in the original version itself, which could given the anime opportunity to expand upon. Now its NOT ABOUT CRAMMING involving cuts. ITS ABOUT CUTTING DEVELOPMENTS Altogether! All of the SENKI explanantion was CUT of the anime!!! BASTARDS!!

I think sticking all the MAJOR characters in THE ENTIRE SERIES in just about each episode is a sign that this can never really work to its full potential. SOME apparances were really unecesary. Kikyo meeting Kohaku and Sesshomaru Meeting Byakuya was altered by quite a degree. They turned aquaintences in full fleged ALLIES in two minutes when it took a lot of semi-realistic story development that was worth WAY MORE TIME AND GROWTH in the manga, than A FEW MINUTES in the animes continuation!!!

I dont even feel like this is the same series as the first. I feel like the Inuyasha STORYLINE diverged in a continuity that makes even less since than the backstory of that SECRET OF THE CURSED MASK VIDEOGAME!! At least it was for sure that the backstory and forthcoming story parts in the videogame was UNCANNON.

Would it hurt Sunrise to fucking name Hikkaku and Ginta to the anime fans who forgot who they were? It feels like they are just taking a manga and sticking it into an anime without proper organization, WORSE than attaching an already vetoed law to a new bill in congress about a totally different concern to try and get it passed: THEY ARE JUST PUSHING IT IN with no concern of ORGANIZATION

I SAW THE PREVIEW!!!

Oh GOD Episode 6 is taking 8 chapters in placing it in one episode because it took 8 chapters from Moryomarus beginning battle with Naraku just to reveal Narakus Trojan Horse Style Ploy of taking back his heart. If the manga had been CORRECTLY ADAPTATED than EPisode 6 would be a two parter because Inuyasha and Koga battle Naraku immediately after the 8 chapters of fighting Moryomaru.

The only review i can truly give it this time is that while this pace of the show was slow i feel as though this animes episode 5 preview lied and exaggerated to me as to what the average fan should expect.

I mean Sesshomaru didnt even really battle Moryomaru, he just swung one blow and THAT WAS IT!! If anybody was impressed by that and called it a battle than you people should seek conseling.

My final statement here is this, IF episode 6 sucks from the prespective of someone who helped get the manga adaptated to anime just by checking the original story out, then it will be an honor for me to say this:

SOMETIMES NO INUYASHA ANIME IS BETTER THAN A RUSHED, BATCHED, ALTERNATE, and CUT QUALITY VERSION!!!

Yeah, I pretty much agree with what…um…"INUYASHA ANIME EXAMINER PISSED OFF" said.

Even though I said earlier that I like the episode, I REALLY HATED that they didn't show the part with Kanna saying she betrayed Naraku and how they didn't have the whole Kinga and Ginka story.

SOMETIMES NO INUYASHA ANIME IS BETTER THAN A RUSHED, BATCHED, ALTERNATE, and CUT QUALITY VERSION!!!

@ INUYMEXICANFAN

yes you are. Your the only one because what Sunrise is doing is out of stubborn egotism that people like you guy for some reason seem to support this notion companies have of halfassing something as long there is something to gain, even just one whatever thing in the process.

And as for these cuts once again i will issue this statement!!

At first i thought they werent going to cut important character devlopment altogether, if they can make these cuts worse each episode than almost nothing could be safe!!

I say this because i love the Chapters in the 400s area better than other hundreds. On top of that if you INUMEXICANFAN dont like this part of the manga then………..I dont know um…. Skip it!!

Im going to count the stories chapters (4=episodes) and see if the condensing will stop period at some point. Also note this statement of mine in the bottom when it comes to the entertainment industry.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY: Let that statement be the judge.

#6 was rushed like the rest. I liked the way Moryomaru used his inexplicably stolen kongousouha on Sessh. That was hawt. I also liked the way IY got his hands inexplicably burnt by the Dragon-scaled Tessaiga. That was hawt too. I loved the way all the characters took heroine to speed up their speeches and actions. That was hawt too. I love the way 99.99999% of the manga was cut from the anime. That was hawt too. Hawt to the point where I'm boiling red in the face with steam coming outta my ears.

And all of that was sarcasm except for the boiling red part.

I'll go ahead and agree with INUYASHA ANIME EXAMINER and MISSPRETTY — IY: The Final HACK still sucks and is still rushed.

I don't need to like everything to come outta InuYasha Land to like InuYasha. That will never be me.

PS: I'm pretty sure the 26 eps have all been animated, so there's no turning back now.

IAE, I think you could really use a sense of perspective. If you are being sickened and disgusted by a <i>cartoon</i>, I think you are taking it far too seriously.

Consider the limitations of the medium. Sunrise doesn't have a twelve-year contract with Weekly Shounen Sunday in which to tell an engaging story on paper at their leisure. They have 26 episodes in which to adapt 21 volumes of manga. Action takes longer on screen than on paper, as well. If you consider each episode minus the opening and closing themes to last about 20 minutes, it amounts to less than nine hours of screentime to squeeze 21 volumes of material into. There is no possible way they could fit everything. The only option that would leave fans satisfied is to trim the story down to remove extraneous bits, filler bits, anything that is periphery to the advancement of the "Defeat Naraku" main plot line.

Reading the manga again recently, I think they're actually doing a very good job of condensing story arcs in order to get as much of the main action on screen as possible. Sure, their telling of the story is different, but I still consider it to be good, and faithful to the manga. Much of the skipped material you list is extra stuff that Rumiko included but that has no relevance to the main plot. It's unfortunate, but it makes perfect sense to skip some of this in order to be able to devote more time to the main characters and their quest.

I can assure you that there are devoted fans of Inuyasha who are happy to have the series. No more Inuyasha at all, ever, was a very real possibility, so we should frankly consider ourselves lucky to get this. There are also plenty of fans who are content to let the early episodes deal with as much of the background action as possible in order to devote more time to the later character development and story advancement. Mega-rushed early episodes and fulfilling later episodes is far better than semi-rushed everything.

There seem to be a lot of outraged fans who feel the need to shake their fists at the heavens and tell everyone what a piece of crap Sunrise is. I'm pretty certain that if you're taking leisure and entertainment this personally, you're doing it wrong.

November 4, 2009 @ 11:49 pm

@NOTEPOTABLE

When it comes to cutting sequences and supposedly consequential Character Development, THEN thats where you are crossing the line.

I dont understand how other fans are FOR defending Sunrise animation for i mean these ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED SO MUCH FILLER, and 4 MOVIES. Noone is complaining about One Piece and it not coming to an end anytime soon. Case Closed is well with more new episodes, and so is Bleach. Sunrise SHOULD HAVE Condesing as the last THING in thier minds to have done all their hard work already.

Several Storylines are integral for fans who dont even read the manga. With CUTS come flashback for integral sublots that could have represussions in the series later.

- The Meioju Storyline, and how it is ressurected from spiritual sealing, and where Naraku is hiding his Jewel because of this.

- The Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kikyo VS Moryomaru Storyline, CUT in the Episode: Kaguras Wind

- Kanna's Grey Area Plothole of Narakus betrayal.

- The Senki given to Inuyasha to make absorbing energies easier without burning his hands, CUT ALTOGETHER in the anime.

-The Mosuito antidote for Miroku's Wind Tunnel Wound

- Knka Ginka Battle with Inuyasha VS Moryomaru

- Koga Inuyasha, and Kai Sturggling for something worth Legitimately 2 episodes, but Cut down ito 10 minutes.

During the MANGA EXECUTION Kai Arc, Koga and Inuyasha are shown to be in a very brutal battle with Moryomaru and the Infant, in which Koga is shown to even get hurt with Moryomarus Adamant arm though one of the wolf demons legs. Unfortunately that was Cut along with several secens that were credited as a stuggle in the battle.

 IF ANYTHING theres more action being taken away with these cuts in the anime, than that Sunrise Staff is promising. In fact its an automatic safe bet for me to say that MOST of the ORIGINAL MANGA was DIRECTLY adaptated, with very FEW things left out, which is understanable given the right reasons that not every little last thing will get put in anime form.

You see some manga for example like Inuyasha, have Plot holes during thier serialized run and sometimes the adaptation IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE SOME MORE INSIGHT on GREY AREAS.

Im just writing my reviews the way are because of my backlash. I sir am entitled to be entertained WHICH IS WHY the Black Tessaiga special has more positives in this season then every other episode which DOES NOT.

The Black Tessaiga 2008 Episode Shown at a Convention of Rumiko Takahashi is an example of how successful future Inuyasha Anime productions NEED TO BE.  the anime of Chapter 499- 504.

In the 30 Minute Episode Based on ALL the Chapters has things these UNORGANIZED AND BATCHED 2009 Episodes do not.

- 10 minutes of Additional Story Sequences, which is more than the traditonal 20 mins per episode.

- More Dialouge between characters, than compared to the manga.

- Anime Debution or Cameo of Characters never brought to animation before, in the Inuyasha Roster.

- Elaboration on the Physics of being trapped in the Meidou Zangetsuha. In the comic Inuyasha is shown to be floating in midair, WHERE AS IN THE ANIME, the brothers are flying towards another gate within the MEIDOU. (Dont ask for an explanation, watch the OVA to find out what i mean)

- Every fight technique of the Tessaiga and Tenseiga was not shown in the manga entirely, WHICH IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD BE GREATFUL.

When it comes to the Black Tessaiga episode ONLY THAT is when your right about being appreciative of getting one episode, EVEN if its not the rest When WE WOULD LIKE IT. I dont need Inuyasha Badly, if theres a talent worthy episode like that or more we will get, than thats how you get a point across.

In terms of the Overrall presentation, one could say THAT anime episode is better than the original material of its source. That is in point, a positive VALUE to the idea that sometimes ADAPTATIONS COULD, SHOULD, And HAVE TO be BETTER.

Otherwise all im seeing is CUTS, and NOTHING but a bunch of color splashed on the same comic pages i've aready read. No Surprises.

In the extent of this 2008 Inuyasha Episode, that is an example of how successful Sunrise NEEDS to be, because from a business perspective, if you are to spend more money on production, and episode planning WITHOUT CUTS than its as the saying goes:

You gotta Spend MORE MONEY TO MAKE more Money!

Sorry to come off like a jerk though, but i am very passionate about how politics suck when i JUST want to enjoy being entertained!

Good lord. This is why otaku have such a bad name.
You may not like to hear it, but Kanna's "betrayal", the mosquito antidote, and to an extent the senki, were all basically filler in the manga. They added nothing to the advancement of the story. (An argument could be made for the senki, but since that development gets completely overwritten by the youketsu arc anyway, it does not advance the story.)
Kinka and Ginka took a lot of time in the manga, but again that arc was not important enough to waste two entire episodes on. There's never a use of "Flame Tetsusaiga" after that, so, again, no advancement of the story beyond the strengthening of Mouryoumaru (which doesn't affect Naraku's reabsorbing him anyway, so again, why waste time on it).

The only people with a legitimate reason for pissed are the Kouga fans, for the truncation of his scenes. But we've known for volumes that eventually his shards will be taken and he'll be written out of the story anyway, so I can't blame Sunrise for not wanting to waste any more non-productive time on him than necessary.
I have no idea what the financial situation in Japan is right now, or what the level of interest for Inuyasha is apart from the people who were already fans. Maybe Sunrise doesn't have enough money to make this more than 26 episodes. Maybe interest is dying down, and they judged that it would not be profitable to drag a series out, knowing the die-hard fans will buy anything, but they might not get any new fans. Maybe some of the key voice actors have other projects they're more interested in, and wouldn't have time to stay with Inuyasha, and in order not to outrage fans by changing the seiyuu they went with just the one season. Whatever it is, I would bet that there are legitimate reasons that the series only gets 26 episodes.
But whatever. You're clearly deeply invested in hating any deviation from the manga. Just try and get some sunlight every once in awhile. Though, really, you can be passionate in text without resorting to the caps lock key. I promise.

Not Better, but Not Bitter

November 5, 2009 @ 9:32 am

Much of what we all seem to be demanding will not happen, because Sunrise bought 26 episodes…1 season. Did we really expect them to do two seasons for a total 52 episodes, as in an episode a week for a full year? Add an additional 1/3 for an already 167-episode anime and manga that hasn't been running in a long while now and whose viewership was apparently falling towards the end? We are kidding ourselves if we think they are going to devotively track the ins-and-outs of monsters so minor most of us didn't even pay attention in the manga and were complaining on these very boards that Takahashi was out-of-touch, milking her readers to pad her retirement, and couldn't wrap it up in a repeat of Ranma 1/2. "Oh gawd, not another Tessaiga power up! Make it end already, Rumiko!" Black Tessaiga was a single 30 minute episode that wasn't even trying to follow the manga…of course they could run free with it.

Inuyasha does not orbit around Dakki…Mujina is not the critical lynchpin of the series…Kinka who? If anything, they have not cut enough, which is why these episodes so far have the feeling of random cameos of manga characters popping up and then disappearing out of the blue. It's too scattered…I'm almost expecting the Bearded Lady just to inexplicably jump out of the bushes for 3 seconds and grab at Tessaiga before being cut down as the Scooby gang moves on. Zoinks! More distilling down to essentials was definitely in order. Be honest…even the technicalities of Dragon-Scaled Tessaiga was ultimately not important in the greater scheme of things. They are focusing too much on hitting as many manga plot points as they can, making for an unintelligible muddle, when indeed the gem of the Inuyasha series is the drawn-out character development. However, that does not require point-for-point matching of manga details, but instead a convincingly rounded personal progression from one situation to another. In this they are indeed failing, because we are breathlessly flying through too much with little settling in. Matthew Minami from Best Hit TV is more concise.

If Black Tessaiga is to be the example, then the animators here should have abandoned trying to following the remaining manga at all, and merely used it as a guide to write their own useable and comparatively synonymous storyline. Actually, that might not have been a bad thing, but I suspect segments of fans would still howl at the alterations and non-canon moments.

But, oh well, they are not going to change things…this was planned, storyboarded, and sold long in advance, with the bulk of the total grind work already completed before the first episode aired. I suspect the animators probably first broached a longer and more in-depth series, but the numbers were crunched and the studio decided the cost/profits wouldn't work in comparison to their other scheduled and potential ventures, and so they all settled instead on the 26-episode formula into which everything was pidgeonholed. As business politics go this is both typical and as an issue miniscule to the point of nothing. Happens all the time. If we are watching this in order to find fault and be angry with every manga panel and side arc not animated, why bother watching it, as we already know we are going to be unhappy? Must others really share the bitterness too? Sorry, there is no absurdism like "entitled to entertainment" in this world…the enforceable legal code listing such a constitutional or statutory entitlement exists only in Wonderland and Oz, and you'll find the illusory Wizard isn't really behind the curtain. Instead, let go and look for the amusement between the dreck…how many of us saw Soryuuha coming!? So the canon is violated; oh Gods and Godzilla, smite the animators and destroyeth Tokyo! The only things that really hit home anyway in ending this series are Kikyo's final finale, Naraku's defeat, Kagome's decision, and Sess's parental trial and epiphany, all of which are towards the latter half and who's proper fleshing out needs all this preamble out of the way.

Soryuuha! If they wanted to really tweak our noses with this, we'll get that Sess-Kag kiss while inside Naraku afterall! Well, c'mon, maybe just some suggestive glancing eye contact. "Go Sess Go, you can do it…Zoinks!"

"Eep, did he really just wink at me?"
"KAGOMEEEE…what the heck are ya standin' around for…we gotta get to the next plot point before Naraku!"

November 5, 2009 @ 6:07 pm

I can understand InuyashaAnimeExaminer's side, as me and my friends are pretty ticked that they are rushing the episodes. I mean this whole introducing the character then killing it five minutes later gets really agitating. But then again, I also see where Notpotable comes from too. Some of the stuff like Flame Tessaiga that was excised from the series were very unimportant. I'm actually really glad that they cut out most of Rumiko's fillers, but I don't know, the new animation is weird to me. Probably because I feel like I'm watching a whole new show than the old Inuyasha I pined over. But, it all comes down to this: The anger against Sunrise may be justified, but it's wasted. They've already made the twenty-six episodes and we can gripe, groan, kick and scream all we want, but we're never gonna look at 52 episodes.

Note to Notapotable: Someone here posted a link that was Sunrise's interrogation and they said the reason why they chose to go with 26 episodes is so they don't distract the story or something and wrap it up in a 'breathtaking' way. I agree with you though that if it was because the key actors wanted to move on, or they were just forced to make 26 episodes, then I wouldn't be this disappointed. But that's the reason they gave us, and frankly, I think it's a load of bull but whatever. I still love Inuyasha and I think the Final Act was done decently, just not as awesome as I wanted it to be.

Anyway, my opinion on the fifth episode. I was really happy that they mainly focused on Yourei-Taisei. The battle between Ginka and Kinka was kind of awkward though, I really think they didn't need to include them. Kagura was my favorite villain, but now I think I'm beginning to favor Byakuya. He's so cool and keeps a leveled head, unlike all the other characters who's tempers skyrockets when someone just gives them the 'eye'. The battles were awesomely animated and Yourei-Taisei's storyline was nicely executed. By far, this is my favorite episode, followed by Meido Zangetsuha, that followed by Kagura's Wind, that followed by Naraku's Heart, and that followed by Dragon-Scaled Tessaiga.

Inukagafan, thanks for mentioning that about Sunrise, as I missed it. I would venture that that could be merely the public spin they put on it to make a suboptimal situation seem more appealing to the fans. Or that could really be the sole reason, which would be regrettable.

And you're right to point out again that it's already mostly done with production, and this is what we get, like it or not. Myself, I quite like it. Will the people who dislike it stop watching, I wonder?

InuKagFan

November 5, 2009 @ 10:26 pm

Notpotable, I agree. If people really hate it as much as they say they do, then they should just stop watching it. All this anger is only going to make them more angrier, and in my opinion, life is more enjoyable being happy than angry. It doesn't make sense to watch something you can't stand when it's there for entertainment purposes. I also like the Final Act, albeit I would be happier if they did 52 episodes where everything just doesn't feel so awkward. However, I've been waiting a long time for Inuyasha to return and wrap up, and I'm just glad the wait is over. I'll take what I can get.

@INUYASHAANIMEEXAMINER

November 6, 2009 @ 10:28 pm

I have the right to base my judgement on anything i see fit. All Sunrise is doing is rushing projects SIMPLY to get something done.
I speak this way because if Sunrise rushes Inuyasha, then I am eager to see the look of pissed off Ramna 1/2 fans and see how my opinions could conincide with theirs (if I knew Ranma, like I do Inuyasha)

@ BETTERBUTNOTBITTER.
Dont give me that Soryuha Crap about OMG WHO SAW IT COMING??

A lot of people did, I was one of them, and comparing Sesshomaru's execution of the Dragon Strike on Moryomraru in both the manga (which didnt even exist in continuities rules and was replaced with a blue light of pressuring energy) Comparing the Soryuhha in the anime, with what was done in the movie and how Inuyasha fights against an overwhelmingly force attack In Movie 3 , just shows me that if Sunrise is willing to keep the action and energy blast very minimal against Moryomaru in EPisode 2 Kaguras Wind, then that just means that in the anime How much power Sesshomaru can thrust into Tokijin is Discredited.

Even more discredited in the manga is when Sesshomaru used an energy like attack against Moryomaru blowing half his head off, which is what Inuyasha is best known for when battling Naraku, but appraently NOT Sesshomaru when Fighting Moryomaru.

Example Episode 157….

Sunrise during these interviews about Opting 52 Episodes have NO RIGHT to compare themselves to Lord of the Rings when giving an excuse for not having a 52 Episode sequel instead of the piece of shit we have now. As long as you claim to have the right to be appreciative or over appeciative, then fans as myself have the right to present a backlash. My "entitled to entertainment" speech is neither wasted NOR ignored. The way businesses work and the way thier audience works SHOULD be as easy as this:

With Quality Entertainment, comes positive reception.

If you think people will just buy anything than you have no understanding when it comes to business decisions and neither does Sunrise. And a lot of you seem to forget that when it comes to a failed or otherwise less appealing product, Sales can be cancelled DEPENDING on whether or not the old sales continue to pile the shelves.

@NOTPOTABLE as for your Japanese comment, Dont start bringing Otaku's and Weeaboos into this. This is simply Quantity VS Quality at its worst. With the former, horribly topping the latter.

When it comes to Sunrise if you dont like the fillers thats in your right. Killing Naraku and just getting it done takes away the storys intention. For you its all about being finished. If thats the case you should be content with the manga. Inuyasha Pre Anime Production is a series that needs to be preserved with Story tellings that deviate from the manga, for a while AKA Fillers. Because none of you seem to understand the reason for the shows cliffhanger, I will say it again.

THE ANIME CAUGHT UP WITH THE MANGA

Just finishing the anime in 13 or 26 episodes takes the charactersitic and overall intention of having created this series in the firstplace. If anyone in other companies Like if DC or Marvel did something to a character and then undid an element like Making DareDevil Blind, one moment and then suddenly curing him: what do you get?

You get a story that isnt even worth a damn in itself anymore.
Thats what Inuyasha is. Its a story meant to tell other stories in the process. Even if you dont like Rumikos Filler or the Filler done by Sunrise Animation, there is no place for you to complain and to want your complaints realized. Comparing American Creations with Japanese Creations in Apples and Oranges here.

You ALL and MYSELF DO NOT Deserve a continuation, NOR is Sunrise doing a great job halfassing material you all believe that they are just "doing it for the fans". The movies were "for the fans", the Fillers were "for the fans", The 30 minutes Shorts of Miss Takahashi's, Its a Rumic World convention were "for the fans" and were done with creativity, and got people talking.

When it comes to screen writers for moview there are some stupid and irrational moves made in which the original creator of the book is not even notified or consented. AT TIMES it is the author who CAN decide how the scrpits will be written. So if any other production has that possiblity, why do you feel that that possibility should not even exist when it comes to Inuyasha. Your justification or backing UP Sunrise animation seems like Double Standard to me.

Hmmm………. Lupin the 3rd, Case Closed, One Piece, DragonBall Z,
A Lot of Shonen Jump, or Shonen Sundays Mascot Characters, and their respective animation adaptations are Allowed to Expand and Preserve futurewise told stories, but Inuyasha IS NOT????

Despite that I hate it, I am simply watching it because it is always INapropriate to judge a presentation and saying it sucks, before i actually watch it. There is a difference between Speculation, and Suspension of disbelief, the moment I see the Event Directly.

Note to Not Better, but Not Bitter:  Thank you for your spot-on analysis;  you have succeeded in expressing the opinion of the proverbial "silent majority" of Inuyasha fans .  Too often, the forums are filled with the opinions of the vocal radical fringes of Inuyasha fandom.
Prior to the announcement of the resumption of the anime, many anime pundits predicted that they would never revive this  franchise as anime.  I personally was delighted that they were wrong.  I am grateful for Sunrise's efforts, and although it might not be everything hoped for, I think we all have to get real and deal with the economics of producing this anime.   Also, let's not be so quick to judgment before we see all 26 episodes.
And, to Inuyasha Anime Examiner:  while I appreciate your passion for Inuyasha,  seriously,  you need to take a pill.

You need to read my opinions before making a judgement call toward me. I am not a lone voice in the woods here. The anime sucks, and thats all there is to say. MAYBE the last few episodes can be good. I am appreciative enough by reading the manga, and feel that my right to an appreciative fanbase towards the studio is ruined, by crybabies who wanted to see an anime revival again.

Personally as one more voice in crowd of angry fans, im incredibly dishonored by watching Inuyashas NEW execution go out in such an undignified manner. All you people that didnt get an anime before while the later manga chapters were being written needed to have just chilled PERIOD.

@Inuyasha Anime Examiner:  I did read your opinions; you still need to take that pill.
Calm down, take a deep breath, and be grateful that we have something to argue about (we've been waiting years for this!)

You shouldve chilled and moved on with your life. Inuyasha didnt have to come back. I havent been waiting. I was initially excited when i first heard the news. But the trailer for this anime is a lie as is the trailer for every other show or videogame and we fans get screwed even sometimes we choose to buy these things.

Heres what you needed to do and can still do

- Calm down about Inuyasha ending on a cliffhanger and accept it
- Read the manga for the rest of the storyline
- Move on with your life watching other shit, and enjoying them instead of crying over a possibly overdue anime irrelevant to today.

Im gonna take a deep breath and hopefully when i write a review tommorrow there will be some good points.

Episode 6: The End of Moryomaru

Better have a successful version of
-The confrontation and color and manga related camera angles of the characters progression: IE  Narakus devouring of the Yomeiju Tree.

- Dialogue flow between Naraku and Moryomaru, the content of the battle with Naraku VS Moryomaru, and Inuyasha and Koga taking on Moryomaru, with the Infant being surprised at Narakus survival.

- A First meeting with Kikyo and Koga and she tries to shoot him with his arrows. Im hoping the battle lasts until the middle of episode 7.

The shit better not suck tommorrow when i wake up. That is all i will say.

I like how you're getting so worked up over a TV show. Do you spend hours collecting information so you can complain here?
Nevermind any other problems in the world… this appears to be the biggest issue by far.

@NOTPOTABLE

Those words are for you to take them and stick it to yourself. The fans who cried Inuyasha and wolf are just as much to blame for these cuts, because of the general cost of Sunrise JUST ressurecting this show period. These statement are from me to be taken and twisted to the extent where anyone should just listen. These were mean for you idiots who cried Original Anime CliffHanger 2004

and talking to you is like catering to an ignorant adult who doesnt understand the context of cake, and thinks he does because of the word Catering.

Getting through to you just makes no sense.

I have other things to do, and other controversial decisions to investigate. Good Day sir.

November 9, 2009 @ 12:57 am

@InuyashaAnimeExaminerOnBreak:  WTF does that even mean???
What you need to investigate is getting some help, dude.
I'm sure you have convinced yourself that your ravings were directly responsible for a better episode 6.  Nothing could be further from the truth, since these episodes were all planned out and executed well before you started your ranting.  You can continue to pick, pick, pick at every episode and spew your demands, and it won't make a damned bit of difference.
It's fine to say whether or not you liked an episode or not, and to give your reasons why.  But, what nobody wants to hear is you saying "they better do this or else" or "this shit better not suck tomorrow when I wake up".
AND, stop putting words in to other people's mouths when they said NO SUCH THING, ever.   You are projecting your own obsessions onto other people and you need to stop.
@NOTPOTATBLE:  "Surreal" doesn't even begin to touch on it….

@PAMMY

Where the hell do you get off instegating another arguement. You just dont know when let something die. To be honest, i am entitled to my opinion and i still follow through my notions, AND HOW DARE YOU infringe on my right to express it. Those statements werent soley made by me. Other people have ranted, capitals or otherwise, and have complained in serveral forums. Im NOT the only person to have said these things, yet you seem compelled to express a grievance against me.

If nobody like yourself wants to hear my ranting then dont even look into my reviews. Other people may come across it but they wont butt into what i have to say.

And as for your statements about Sunrise Planning Out. You cant speak to me as if you knew suddenly they were going to improve or know full well at the start of the condensing that some people were NOT going to complain. You scold me for picking at these episodes, yet the matter of many people complaining on forecoming on these episodes is nothing further from the truth. You know it because FANS TALKED ABOUT THE ANGER IN ADVANCE.

Sunrise had TERRIBLE raitings on its orignal Japan Debut with Inuyasha Kanketsuhen. It had a 1.7 Rating on its first night for A VARIETY of reasons.

Its simple in one possible explanation, NOT ruling. People were not entertained. That could be it, but NOT ABSOLUTELY.

INUYASHAANIMEEXAMINER ONBREAK

November 9, 2009 @ 1:27 am

As long as Sunrise has some sense and thier later episodes become less condensed then theres more praise built upon hard work and more constructive decisions.

Its not as though you have the right to call me on MY UNOFFICIAL REVIEWS for every one i have written thus far. What you call picking and picking is what has been done by more people than just myself. You cant judge me for how i write. You can only write your own reviews and be judged by that.

"on break" means in not writing a review.

And you definetly need a break. Consider that an idea from me.

And once again attempting to succeed to get through to you guys makes no stable sense at all.

and you dont understand just how confusing it is to try to get through to you because you wont make it easy.

I know what im saying because with my quote its easy to address what i have to say but its harder for you to understand.

Those are two different ideas.

I dont mind having to spell it out for you twice, but not more.

You see, another example
