InuYasha

[Darkstar_Zero]

Well, I went to Borders and looked through the manga. This first episode covered most of 37 and the first chapter of 38. And they changed Inuyasha's battle with Moryomaru/Goryomaru/whatever

I still liked it.  Although the voice of Inuyasha is really off to me!

I just read Volume 36 and the Moryomaru battle was in that volume, except they cut Koga out of it in the first anime and put the Koga half of the battle here.  This thing is getting more and more confusing.  That battle was split between the two series.

That is strange, doxie.  The only thing that I can think of is that Sunrise probably knew at that point in the writing and animating process that the Inuyasha anime would be ending, or would at least be on an extended hiatus while Takahashi finished the series.  They may have left the Koga part of the battle with Moryomaru out of the original anime to try and provide slightly more closure.  They knew that Naraku was still alive and that the story was not yet over, and the "ending" of the original anime was probably the best they could do to provide at least some sense of closure to the anime.  With all the unknowns at the time about whether the series would resume, I could see them leaving the Koga part of the battle out, so that the Koga storyline had some closure to it as well.  If they had shown his battle with Moryomaru, they would be leaving even more loose ends then they already had to deal with.

That being said, I gave into temptation and watched the new episode.  It has been so long since I have seen new Inuyasha that I just couldn't wait until the English dub was out!   I share the mixed opinions expressed here and there in this thread.  Even though I haven't read the manga past chapter 356 (roughly where the 1st anime ended), so I don't know what I'm missing, it admittedly felt rushed, almost like what I'd imagine an Inuyasha cliffnotes would be like.  On the one hand, the breakneck speed makes it an action-packed episode, but on the other hand, I'd rather have the whole story than the highlights.  On the upside, it has the same feel as the original, in that the speed doesn't make me feel like we've lost the charm and feelings of the characters I've come to love.  It also still achieves the drama that the original had; that scene in the end there between Sango, Kohaku and the others was emotionally charged!  I won't say any more than that to avoid spoilers, though.  It is still Inuyasha, and anything Inuyasha is good, and the show is definitely still worth watching.  I will probably wait to see them dubbed most of the time rather than watching the subbed (it took me about 45 minutes to watch the entire episode because I found myself pausing frequently to read the subtitles, then rewinding to catch the action I missed while reading the subs), but it had been so long since I saw new Inuyasha that I had to quel that thirst for more.   All in all, I am happy with the new episodes.

I would pretty much agree with that.  I think I should have watched the last few episodes again as I was lost in a few places.  Was.... oh that is right that one guy ate the other guy right?  Mory, Gory... whatever.  Can someone please explain to me I can't remember what all happened with this situation.  When I first saw him in the cell it was like I was seeing him for the first time!

Yeah, it seemed quick-paced and they even killed Hakudoushi so fast!  I thought the would cause more problems and surely last longer than the guy with the weird arm.  Nice to see Miroku show his stuff with a nice little tag team from InuYasha... Kikyo seems to be growing weak for some reason, and we see Koga again, and Kohaku gets his memories back and is after some demon, when he confronts Kagura who later escapes and for some reason  InuYasha and co. are being friendly with her?   Also, we check in on Sesshomaru and friends and see they are still in search... I had also forgotten about those little crystals that helped them find Naraku.  How did those come about, again?

[doxiedachsie]

Whew!!  That's a lot of questions.  I'll put the answers in the other thread tomorrow.  (It's late.)

[ben0119]

But posting it in the other thread won't help me.  I don't understand why my questions can't be answered without spoilers since most of it pertains to things from the original series, and this episode everyone has already seen...  Thanks for the offer though.

[CG-LOVER]

Dude, just watch the past few eps. and you'll be all caught up.

[ben0119]

Heh, you're probably right.  I had that idea in my head but for some reason forgoed it.  I should probably just do that.  Then I'll watch the first episode of this again.  I really wish this was in English though.  Even though, it's the original version... it still doesn't feel real since there are no dubs yet.

And we don't even know if AS will even try to get  the series?!  So many people are leaning that they won't, also.

Wishful thinkers really, and I've noticed a few of the original RIH's making there appearance known since they heard the news it was starting up again

On the other hand, in another thread on here, some people are saying that Viz is aiming to get the first DVD box set released by Spring 2010!  I'm assuming they're meaning a dub with as many of the original cast members as they can get, but considering how long it took Shippuden to get dubbed I'm not holding my breath.  And now for my long-awaited synopsis:

Episode 1: Naraku's Heart

Well, I thought it was InuYasha on speed!  There was a LOT of action, almost enough to satisfy fans of "shonen on steroids" like Gurren Lagann, and some really nice surprises!  It seems like some major changes that were introduced toward the end of the first series: Kikyo's weakness, Kagura's "friendliness", etc. have already come to full fruition.  I never really thought InuYasha would go out of his way to PROTECT Kagura, but that's what happened.  Some other characters also make an appearance.  It is discovered that Naraku's heart lies within Moryomaru, since he ate/absorbed the infant, and Naraku was using InuYasha and Kagura to get rid of Hakudoshi!

Next episode: SESSHOMARU returns!  Enjoy it...tomorrow!!!  

[ALchemist81]

Episode 2 is now up, minna!  And captions are available!  Way to go Hulu!  (It will make for great halftime entertainment during the Alabama-Ole Miss game, in which Bama just scored a TD...finally!)
