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. ^^

I thought this episode was great. It wasn't as fast paced as the others. I just hope that next episode is good….better than good.

And I just loved the colors in this episode! ◕ ◡ ◕

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!!

mapTHEY 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!!!

And sadly, I agree with that…

I guess I'm the only one happpy with these cuts? I never really liked this part of the manga so I don't really care they're speeding up, the alterations and such.
And well i'm really optimistic that after episode 8 (i'll be mad if they don't do right Kikyo death) everything will be better

@ 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.

Does anyone know the manga chapter that was covered in the very beginning with Kohaku and Kikyou? I checked the ones referenced above but those weren't it.
Many thanks in advance!
