Actual episode 16 title and broadcast info

Filed under: Chapters — Starks at 7:20 pm on Wednesday, December 30, 2009

I knew something was fishy when the titles for 16 and 17 showed up extremely early in a TV schedule thread on 2ch without an accompanying magazine scan. With the appearance of the actual title for 16 from rock-solid sources, I once again have egg on my face because of my rather low standards for running this site. I hereby retract the titles for 16 and 17 that I previously posted.

Anyway, Aniplex is now four for four on allowing title leaks.

Good going guys. </sarcasm>

Episode 16: Hitomiko's Barrier
瞳子の結界 Hitomiko no kekkai

Sources: JBOOK and Kinokuniya

Edit: It is now increasingly becoming clear to me that ytv will not be giving Final Act a week off anytime soon. This means that the NTV broadcasts will end up a week behind ytv. Because Final Act premieres will now be on Monday (barely Tuesday in Japan), it makes sense that Viz moved their simulcast to match that. Accordingly, I'd like to apologize to Viz for not giving them the benefit of the doubt and praise them for having the foresight as well as insider info to do it ahead of time. If you want to be technical, Viz didn't have a choice since their license certainly would not entitle them to premiere Final Act in the US roughly 48 hours ahead of Japan.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I have no idea what this will mean for timely 720p/1080p raws. What is certain is that won't appear before the sub. I don't foresee any problem with finding HD screencaps as the episode airs, but if you know where I can find a LIVE ytv stream online (Yomiuri TV 読売テレビ not that Canadian channel), please tell me. I'm not afraid to use programs like Sopcast or Tvants.

Finally, in case you are wondering, Viz promised in a comment on their Rumic World site that subs would arrive on Monday, January 4th as usual, presumably in the afternoon and within hours of the ytv broadcast.

4 episodes more and we'll see magatsuhi in action!  It seems viz won't show any picture of him on the opening theme yet. It's a pretty! come on men! you did show us super moryoumaru armor, kagami's  monster… I really want to see him! just because o magatsuhi is a weird and interesting character as well.
Anyways acording to this post just woooooow!

Considering that Bakusaiga is already in the first opening, I doubt Sunrise is going to make a second one unless it unexpectedly premieres in the next episode.

yeah!, that's right, and speaking of that, the first time of the opening theme and the last seconds when kagome and inuyasha shake their hands (final chapter manga) i don't think they'll change it.
May be, just a little images… 'cuz is just around few seconds…
(they can put it on instead of "moryoumaru, and kanna's monster"

@ FSC

I won't discount a second or edited opening in the future when you consider how early ED2 came.

Hi Starks,

Some time ago (ages really) I think you once posted an image of Inu no Taisho that was done by R. Takahashi.  As I recall, it was small, but very recognizably in her hand.  Am I barking mad, or were you indeed the secondary source of that image?  Again, as I recall, the image was scanned from a Japanese magazine.  If you were indeed the one who had once posted it, is there any chance at all that you could repost it or email it to me?  It's been bugging me for some time now, and I can't seem to locate my file copy of it on my InuYasha external drive.  (Too many screencaps.)

Anyway, thanks in advance!

Aside from Rumikos suggestions to the Movie 3 staff as to what he should look like, there is no official art of the Inu no Taishou. I don't dispute your claim, but I don't know of any photo of Rumiko with an InT doodle.

If I at some point scanned such an image from Shonen Sunday or other magazine and posted it somewhere, I no longer have said image or original.

No Inuyasha tomorrow morning… this is so sad. I had gotten so used to getting up early to watch it every week. And now it won't make any sense to watch it on Keyhole next week.
Boooooooooooo.

Inugesshoku is this the drawing you were thinking of?

If the image link doesn't work it's on this page:
http://www.absoluteanime.com/inuyasha/inutaisho.htm
I think I saw this drawing or a similar one in the extras on the dvd for the 3rd movie too (the section w/various character sketches).  Don't know if Rumiko did it or not.

Came from a magazine article about the third movie.  The snippit of text below it that can be seen says "Sensei's own drawing", and it's undoubtably Takahashi's style.  Note that her design lacked the third sword.

Hey Starks, do you think sunrise will do the scene of Inu and Kagome (almost) kiss ?? I mean that perfect scene of romance  Rumico has created on her manga.
I think that if is cut out of this weekly episode, will be made for episode 17. (yeah, when Inu goes to kagome's bedroom and he explains her what kaede thinks about the shikon no tama. I mean when Inu says to her "the only thing which could seal your real spiritual powers is the shikon no tama itself."… may be they'll put there the scene of the kiss….
 
SUNRISE…YOU MUST PUT IT ON!! I've been waiting for seeing this scene!

Hi Starks,

Thanks for responding to my query regarding the image of InT.  I will continue to scour my drive for it.  I know I have it here somewhere, it's just going to take awhile.  The image is small but unmistakeably drawn by RT.  I remember being overjoyed at finding it since it meant that at long last I could say that his "look" was indeed canon (as much as "canon" is canon….)  Someday, when I turn it up, I will remember to come back here and send you a copy of it.  At the very least, I'd like your opinion of it.

The time delay is because I have literally thousands of IY images on an external book drive and they are a bit scrambled since I moved them through two other computers that have since died.  I'll get there eventually.
 
BTW, did you happen to notice that Adult Swim is showing commercials for InuYasha again?  They're advertising showing the eps Monday thru Wednesday late at night.  I have to hand it to them.  They've not stopped showing InuYasha at all during all these years I've been watching.  It's been on at screwy times in the wee hours, but it's always been there.  Interesting that they're advertising it again….  Wonder if they will be bucking for the broadcast rights here of the new eps…
 
Thanks again!  I'll be back someday with the image I spoke of.  I know it's there, I just have to find it again…

Inugesshoku, the image was already posted, just not by Starks…  Check the other comments.
