Too bad Kanna didn't had so much importance in the manga like Kagura or Hakudoushi…

I don't like the guy who animated this one.
Every person's mouth is weirdly shaaaped. What the hell?

I also don't like this whole Viz-uploads-it-on-Monday business. At least tell us why, damn.

They better not mess up next week's episode. :O

Oh and I wish they showed the previews on KeyHole… >.>

@ Starks, and the rest of you

Hey you guys, do you know any alternative access to this episdode besides Hulu because you sound like you watched it already. How can I get another access because of what Hulu.com is doing with thier schedules?

Starks said a looong time ago (and yesterday) that you can watch it through KeyHole.

But you have to watch it at a specific time, just like on regular TV.

So LEVIA

When will Inuyasha Kanketsuhen Air again, in terms of which time is closer to view the anime, between tommorrow and monday by Hulu?

Comment by Starks

December 12, 2009 @ 10:30 pm

It won't air again on a channel that viewable on KeyHole. As far as I know, there's no way to watch the ytv broadcast of Final Act online. You'll have to wait for a raw, sub, or Monday. Which ever comes first.

I had to chuckle at your comment about Rumiko and her fondness of  loli-killing!  Thanks again Starks!

thank you. Good enough for me.

Ill just follow the manga dialogue, so it wont be unfamiliar unless there are anime exclusives which could make me wonder but good enough for me! I'll write a review on monday, so if anyone wants to see it, i'll have it then!

What is a Lolli? Like, a lil kid? And why does InuYasha change into a demon even though he's holding Tetsusaiga? I read the comcic but it didnt say why I think. Maybe subttitles will explain it.

@AN

It was because the sword was drawing what power it could from Inuyasha's demonic energy, while also keeping his senses intact and not going all psychotic on them.

Pretty good episode, I thought they did good with that battle in this episode. RIP Kanna. =(

Good episode, it was funny because Inuyasha looked like he was sat twice by Kanna's attack lol

Since when has Tetsusaiga been able to put up barriers?!

^ yeh I know!  I was like whut?
 
Well, it is ~all powerful~ so I wouldn't be surprised haha.  But I dont think it could in the manga?  Maybe it's just a cool effect they wanted to try?  idk.

Definantly one of the more sad deaths in Inuyasha in my opinion
Kanna was one of my favorites even though the first series never really focused on her

Also I'll never understand why they change animation directors almost every episode. In the first series the style never stayed the same for more than two episodes. It drove me insane
wonderful art and clean animation one episode
then the next would be insanly choppy and the drawings looks rather mediocre

With The Final Act, for the most every episode has had decent animation. If not the best in the whole series. (I pay very close attention to these things, I'm an animation enthusiast)
My favorite animation director is the one who made the episodes like "Fateful Night in Togenkyo"
The art is pleasing to the eye, and the animation is my favorite

also I don't remember when Tetsaiga could put up barriers either XD

haha I also reliezed from the winter themed ending of the last episode that I've been here for almost a year now.
I just changed my account name

NOOOOOOOO!!! T________________T
the whole episode was pretty cute animated!!
Was it necessary to add more kagura'scenes it took all my sadness away! D:
I really love Kagura u_u
kanna is done perfect!
and It's my impression or naraku has got longer hair (and more) in the anime rather than manga?! o.o
XD

previews for next week look nice. Hulu has some kind of issue today it looks like. all over the place between dialouge "&1;60;"  kept appearing in the video where the subtitles go. Not sure what thats all about but beyond that it was a fantastic episode. poor Kanna. she deserved a better death.

@ Levia
Me too xD

I haven't commented on this site for a while, but I am very excited with the season so far (though the first few episodes were very 'meh').
I cannot wait for episode 12! I have been looking forward to this segment of the manga to be animated for so long. The animation, from what I could tell, looks great.

Something that I never understood in Inuyasha's manga/anime is the barefoot thing. Why there are characters that use sandals (like Miroku, Kanna and Sango) and others that simply goes without any footwear (like Kagura, Kohaku and Rin)? Why don't everyone use sandals?

Comment by Ginger

December 15, 2009 @ 7:00 am

Why do the producers of the new series hate Sango and Miroku so much?
No mosquito vampire, no cat demon, no porcupine demons, and now a severely abridged bone woman story.
Attention Producers: some of us actually care about the supporting cast.  Give them the attention and respect that Takahashi did when she wrote the stories.

@Ginger: It's hard for them to include everything because they are limited to 26 episodes. I wish those things could be animated too, but it's just not realistic given the constraints.
I'm so excited for the next episode!

Comment by Levia

December 15, 2009 @ 7:08 pm

I agree that supporting characters are being neglected. But most of the Miroku and Sando stuff wasn't important to the story until the last eighty or so chapters, so I understand why it was eliminated.

Also… so they arrre covering both those arcs in the next episode. : O
Very curious as to how it'll work out.
Hopefully it won't be a trainwreck.

I always thought Kanna's death sucked in both the anime and now the manga — sucked for her, that is. She was just used and abused by Naraku the whole time and since he didn't need her anymore, he just threw her away like a rag doll thinking she had no feelings, which she obviously had. Just because you project nothing doesn't mean you are nothing. It's always irked me that she didn't want to die and seemed to have no choice in the matter since she was Naraku's puppet. I wished she could've had a choice and could've lived — I think it would've been kinda nice if she had lived. It was sad she had to go the way she did. One moment here and the next, gone. If she had chosen to fight, she would've lived.

Long live Kanna!

You will be missed like Kagura!

One more note, I am concerned about the ending — Sunrise better give some real time to it because a 1/2 hour just won't cut it. An hour or 45 minutes would be nice! Its obviously a very important part to the completion of the series and devoting some time to it is important to me and I hope to all other IY fans.

A part of me wished that RT would start an IY Part 2, but I know that will prolly never happen, so I'll just hope some talented writer will do it and make me happy!

To: psychosybil

I couldnt agree more
like the begining of the series
I hope the ending isnt rushed and crammed together
I am looking forward to a very good well paced ending
I will be more disapointed than I have ever been if its not 8C
