The Japanese voices make me want to -headdesk- so hard. -sigh-
Well, that's the price we pay to have simulcast streaming...makes me wonder how much the subtitles sucked, but overall, I thought it was okay.
The only thing that surprised me was seeing Kagura and Kohaku get as much screentime as they did. I was expecting a lot more of Inuyasha and Kagome.
That's because Kagura's about to die, LOL! I'm guessing it will be the first half of the next episode, with Sesshoumaru's vengeance-seeking battle and Koga's discovery of the gorashi taking up the second half.
Frankly, I was okay with this. I thought it nice that they deigned to show all of the cast again, but I was less happy that they squeezed in so much storyline from the manga. I've got my fingers crossed that it won't be a total rushjob, but I have a feeling A LOT of my initial impression of the new anime will rest on the next episode, and how they handle Kagura's death.
I'm surprised they cut out the battle with Mouryoumaru, considering it was during one of Inuyasha's most vulnerable nights, and it was one of the rarer moments of the brothers fighting together against a common enemy, but then again...considering it was the first episode, how much can we ask for? :-/
I'm going to be PISSED if they skip the Hell arc. I'll probably not be able to forgive them that. (Next on my list of "things I want to see" is the rebirth of Hiraikotsu, so you have an ally in hoping that the Mir/San stuff won't get cut out - lord knows there's plenty of needless sword upgrades than can be skipped instead!)
