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

Inuyasha's Final Chapters Get TV Anime Green-Lit (Updated)

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.

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...)
