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.

"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.

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.

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.
