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 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.

*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!"

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.

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)

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

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
