Animation directors and music for the final episodes

Filed under: Episodes,Random — Starks at 8:13 pm on Wednesday, March 10, 2010

As expected, Sunrise has revealed them.

24: Sayaka Koiso

25: Sachiko Sugimoto and Kayo Tachibana

26: Yoshihito Hishinuma

I'm not surprised that Sunrise is using Hishinuma, one of the more prominent directors from the first anime, for the final episode, but I must remark that he hasn't done anything of merit outside of Inuyasha and Final Act in quite a few years save for Yakitate Japan and that terrible Tales of the Abyss anime (yeah, it looked good, but the 26 episode pacing killed it).

As for the episode summaries, I'm not going to bother trying translating them. I can't.

Edit: I apologize if the mailing list is acting up again.

Edit 2: According to producer Michihiko Suwa, 25 and 26 will have new background music tracks by long-time series composer, Kaoru Wada:

Using very broken translation, the last episode is not only focused on the epilogue. It looks like episode 25 ends with Inuyasha jumping into the abyss trying to find Kagome, because in episode 26, Kagome starts out in the abyss, then makes her wish.

Reminding you that things can get lost in translation, so I would not take my word for fact until someone else who really knows Japanese comes around.  (Quote)

I am in love with Inuyasha Kanketsu hen!! But I don´t know I getting anxious and afraid because Inuyasha is getting close to the end :( I don´t want Inuyasha to end…

I really don´t believe that the last episode will be a double sized one…

( I know in the manga they don´t kiss, but beside the movie I wish to a see a kiss between Kagome and Inuyasha XD)  (Quote)

FINALLY. Am looking forward to new music. I mean its coming pretty late to be honest. What would a new series be or rather a sequel be, if it didnt have new innovations to it besides the anime art directing?

In other words, it has taken them THIS long, but i am optimistic of what this will mean for the last two episodes.

Its a shame Magatsuhi, Moryomaru, Byakuya, and any of the other new and long term characters didnt get new music scores for the Background. Hell, even the pre existing characters didnt get a new track in Kanketsuhen.

I hope the episode music in 25 and 26 will be good. If we're lucky we may get new credits music for the final episode. To be honest though, I am hoping the credits play the rest of the manga chapters, and some Anime EXCLUSIVE material with characters like Totosai's friends, Kaede, Hachie, Ayame (Since Koga wouldnt know about Kagome never coming back down the well) Master Monkshin, those wanding monks you see every now and then (unless its a pair of different looking ppl every set of episodes) and Kaguras Wind…

Basically i hope characters that didnt get enough screentime, appears in the credits with some dialogue like the way it happened in the first series anime for which i am still greatful for, and is the reason why i can remember to ask for it again this time.  (Quote)
