CONFIRMED: New Inuyasha anime green-lit (Source: ANN)

Inuyasha's Final Chapters Get TV Anime Green-Lit (Updated)
posted on 2009-07-16 01:45 EDT
Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen to air on Japan's YTV this fall

This year's 34th issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine will announce next Wednesday that an Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen (Inuyasha Final Chapter) television adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's manga has been green-lit. The anime will broadcast on Japan's YTV this fall and cover the story in volumes 36 to 56 of the manga — the final 21 compiled book volumes. The original staff and cast will reunite for the new anime adaptation.

Shonen Sunday had promised earlier this month that it will be including a special news announcement about Inuyasha in issue #34. Takahashi had ended the Inuyasha manga in the same magazine last June. She has been serializing a new manga called RIN-NE (Kyōkai no Rinne) in the magazine as well as on TheRumicWorld.com website for North America readers since April 22. Viz Media has been releasing the Inuyasha manga in North America, and it has also released the original 2000-2004 television anime adaptation.

This is fantastic. I can't wait to see some of my favorite manga scenes animated.

This also means the fandom will get way more active again, which could go either way good or bad.

Probably both at the same time! LOL. We have an insane fandom.

Is there are a word for insane beyond that?

Our fandom is so filled with FAIL and WIN at the same time that I'm surprised we haven't imploded.

We have imploded; it's just that everyone comes back and cleans up the wreakage and starts over. LOL

LOLOL

"NEVER GIVE UP NEVER SURRENDER!"

(We will never learn. Of course, it's more amusing that way...)

*runs around squeeing in excitement*

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Now I feel like I need to finish CID by October... or I'll feel somewhat conflicted, battling it out with the anime...

My friend at ACen says: "Let me know what people you want to see and we'll get on trying to get them!"

This does make you want to finish all your WIP's by October so you'll have room in your brain for the new stuff!!

It does!

-_-;; It will SO never happen, but I'm determined to get a good chunk out by the end of July and August!!!

Ugh...I could NEVER finish all my WIPs by the Fall.

But I WILL find time to watch the anime! I know we can all depend on Mama KK to let us know where to find it when it comes out as well! :D

My friend at ACen says: "Let me know what people you want to see and we'll get on trying to get them!"

Narita Ken and my ass will be there, broke as fuck or not! OMG!!!

Narita Ken and my ass will be there, broke as fuck or not! OMG!!!

OMG I would sell my soul.

Hell, even if they manage to wrangle David Kaye - I'd be alllllll over that, let me tell you. (Bonus! He's done tons of other VA roles on diverse series like Gundam Wing and Transformers, so there would be quite the broad-based appeal, beyond us Inuyasha geeks.)

(Rumors: David Kaye and Kirby Morrow [aka Miroku] are already being/been/are planned to be approached.)

Of course, a lot can happen between now and then, but...
LOL I have sent an "OH DEAR GOD PLZ" email to mah buddy in guest relations ^_^

(Rumors: David Kaye and Kirby Morrow [aka Miroku] are already being/been/are planned to be approached.)

OMG NO FUCKING WAY OMG!

You seriously don't want to know how loud I just squee'ed. Thank God I'm here alone o.O

LOL *hands up* Again, just rumors...
But from a source I love ^_^

And I'm gonna go see him this weekend and ply him with alcohol until agrees on camera to invite the whole cast.

Is it possible for me to be excited and dreading it at the same time? Yes, there are definitely certain manga scenes I would like to see animated, and there are also some I would not. And I am cringing just thinking of all the possible changes they could make. Honestly, I love it that right now, everyone has to use the manga for reference for the last part of the series.

There's no doubt it will boost the fandom again, though and bring in a new generation of fanfic writers.

A new generation of fanfic writers....why does that make me feel so strange? Guess it is because I am from the early generation of IY fanfic writers, and I don't know of any others who are active from when I started writing, in 2003.

Honestly, I love it that right now, everyone has to use the manga for reference for the last part of the series.

...when they bother using a reference at all, you mean? :P

Yeah, I feel you on that score, but at the same time, it'll be interesting to see just how much fandom is revived with this news. I'm not expecting much until (and if) its licensed in North America - only us hardcore geeks will be willing to seek out fansubs or raws :P

I am not looking forward to seeing the "sits" amplified again. And with all the emphasis Takahashi put on making Kikyou a saint at the end, I am forseeing Kagome being demonized in fanon. *sigh*

Well, looking at this from a S/K perspective, the release of Black Tessaiga will be a test, I think. Its fairly faithful to the manga arc, with extra sits, and there is a LOT of Sesshoumaru fanservice (oh man...a lot). The animation was just gorgeous, though, and it'd kick so much ass if the next anime series looks anything like it.

I'm trying to be positive; yeah, there's probably going to be an influx of fanbrats and teenyboppers and shippers again...but the second half of the manga has so many great arcs - Hell/SessMom, Kagura's death, Kikyo's death, Mt. Azuna, the bone youkai/strengthening Hiraikotsu, Bakusaiga, etc etc etc. I think it'll be worth the hassle, just to see those things - and for all these lazy ass fanfic writers to finally realize there's more to the story than where the anime left off the first time :P

This announcement has me feeling both excited and filled with dread. But I have a feeling that this will be something I'll actually get on fansub... provided it's easy to get a hold of and unless they follow the Japanese release very closely with an American release. (It'd be only the second series ever to motivate me to download... XD)

Just think, tho - there are some FABULOUS Mir/San scenes in the second half of the manga...

If they don't get glossed over (in favor of more screentime for -cough- more popular characters -cough-) or cut completely like the Medicine Seller arc did at the end of the first part of the anime. -facepalm-

They really destroyed the end of the first part of the anime - there's a lot they'll have to scramble to fix (then again, it's been a while since the first anime aired, so I'm holding out hope they'll have a couple "catch up" episodes).

If anything, they HAVE to do the Bone Youkai arc (and subsequent poison/sake arc) to explain why Sango's Hiraikotsu suddenly is much more deadly against Naraku...

I still can't for the life of me figure out why they handled the end of the anime so horribly. Why on earth would they try to cram all that stuff into so few episodes? -facepalm- They didn't have enough canon material to keep going... yet they completely cut at least one full (if relatively short) story arc... Totally logical, that.

If anything, they HAVE to do the Bone Youkai arc (and subsequent poison/sake arc) to explain why Sango's Hiraikotsu suddenly is much more deadly against Naraku...

I'm a pessimist at heart. I honestly don't expect them to include any of it, because the track record is wishy-washy (they added Mir/San filler episodes, but removed canon ones and so on). There are scenes and plot arcs that I hope get included... but I have little faith in the creators after seeing the "conclusion" to the existing anime. XD

xD This is a good point.

*stamps foot and grins*

I refuse to give up hope! They can't even make dumb excuses like "We don't know if it'll mean anything" because the manga is already done!
:P *grins again* I will have faith for both of us!!

Okay, you have faith for both of us, and I will hopefully be happily surprised. :D

I will squee so hard if they actually do the kiss scene. Or the one where Sango asks Miroku to take her with him when they're both dying in the final battle. (If you couldn't tell, those are my favorite bits of the manga, even trumping the proposal scene...)

"This announcement has me feeling both excited and filled with dread."

Hehheh! This was almost exactly what I said. I may wait for it and not go the fansub route.

For me it kind of depends on how much lag there'll be between the releases. It's really cool to have new anime... but if there is only going to be a wait of a few months, I'll probably just wait and watch the dub. I dislike the Japanese voices (can't stand female seiyuu for some reason), and since I've read the manga I already know most of what will happen. I'm curious as to how they'll fix the previous ending, though... They bungled that one big time.

I dislike the Japanese voices (can't stand female seiyuu for some reason)

~~OMG I thought I was the only one!~~ o.O I mean, uh, *ahem* Yeah. I know its sacrilege to admit, but I really don't like Inuyasha's Japanese voice - it just doesn't match his character, to my mind, at all. I do prefer Kagome's seiyuu to her English VA, but the rest I don't have too much of an opinion about. The season seven DVD boxset has little interview segments with both the Japanese and English casts, which was very interesting to watch.

it kind of depends on how much lag there'll be between the releases.

Yeah, this too. I dunno how much of a lag there was in 2000 when the first series aired, but I don't have my hopes up that the English dub will be coming any faster than usual for this, no matter how hard VIZ is pimping the manga releases (or Rin-ne) of late.

I really hate InuYasha's Japanese voice... he sounds too "young" in my mind. The only thing I love is his youkai!InuYasha growls (and the "keh" and "feh" - can't help it. I just want him around for those. Nothing else, LOL)

LOL. I tried to watch my dvds in Japanese. Sango and Kagome sounded exactly the same: high pitched, nasally, and annoying (like most female characters in anime). I immediately switched back to the dub, where they at least have somewhat normal voices and don't sound identical. -facepalm- Can't say I particularly cared for the Japanese male voices either. I have a hard time enjoying Japanese voice acting, because I don't like the stereotypical voice types that they use so often.

LOL! Fuck Yes was exactly my reaction. Can't wait to see this animated especially the RIN IN HELL ARC! GAAAH!!!

I. am. so. JEALOUS!!!!! that you will be seeing it in real time. LOL, you need to find a way to share the wealth, woman :P

Have you seen the Black Tessaiga short yet? OMG...the Sess fanservice is just...OMG :D

Oooh yeah! Don't worry I'll definitely give you guys the low down ;) I'm SO excited!

That is so fucking awesome and about damn time. Nice that the original cast will be there, too. Thanks for the heads up!

RT is definitely a Kappei fangirl. When they do the voice overs in the states, VIZ should definitely keep David Kaye, Kirby Morrow and Scott who does Kouga. They should get rid of Richard Cox, Monica Stoerri and Willow Johnson. I am not sure about the Sango,Shippou or Kagura (Kanna)voiceovers.

The show should start from the Medicine Seller arc which comes right after the Stone Oni. I am sure that they ended on the Stone Oni because its conclusion was a tender IK moment. I love the IY moments in the Medicine Seller. I can hardly wait to see him jump off the cliff chasing butterflies or him biting the demon on the head to protect Sango. It does show the lengths that Sango is willing to go to save Miroku from poison like he suffered from in the Stone Oni. The conclusion of the Medicine Seller was as silly as some of the Rin-ne stories. The poison cure all turns out to be just an anti itch cream and the fearsome demon turns out to a mosquito under a curse.

They used fillers in the original because of they were ahead of RT's script.
I hope that they will treat Kikyou as RT did and not try to recreate her
