I can think of a couple ways, mostly related to why I stopped watching the anime. Then again, I'm a Mir/San fan cynic. XD

Put yourself in my shoes - if your favorite arc was guaranteed to be covered, wouldn't you be jumping up and down?

And besides, its SessMom - aren't you just the least bit curious?

Based on the fact that the new anime has made me question why the hell I love these superfluous, unnecessary, useless characters in the first place... Not sure.

Nope. :D

O.O Wow, you're one tough cookie!

I seem to be the only person in the history of ever to have no real interest in Sesshoumaru or his mother. -shrugs-

Hehheh! I never doubted for a minute the Hell arc would be covered. I am NOT liking the fact that it will get only 1 episode, though. Same goes for Kaou, which I have actually been looking forward to even more than the Hell arc. They are simply not doing justice to the storylines. I'm starting to wonder what the heck they're going to do in the last 5 episodes--seems like they'll have already finished the manga before then.

Well, I don't like that either, but its better than half an episode (like Kagura's death) or no episode at all. Watching the first six episodes has seriously adjusted my expectation levels for how they're going to finish things out.

And the fact that they're covering Kaou at all seems like a minor miracle...

"Well, I don't like that either, but its better than half an episode (like Kagura's death) or no episode at all."

Are you sure they won't be covering something else at the same time to make it a half episode? One thing Inuyasha anime--both new and old--is not known for is spending a whole episode on just one event/action.

"And the fact that they're covering Kaou at all seems like a minor miracle..."

I always knew they would cover the Hell arc and I had no doubts they would do Kaou, too. They're both really major eye-openers for Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, and necessary for character development.

Edited to add: I don't mean to rain on your parade. I'm glad you're happy about the confirmation of the Hell episode. ^_^ I'm just a grumblegrouch with a headache today. Ignore me.

No, I'm not sure of that - but what else is there to cover? Kikyo's death is getting its own episode (#8) and Kaou is getting its own episode (#10)...so unless they sneak something in totally of the timeline, it's looking good that the entirety of the Hell arc will be covered.

Considering how many people have been bitching about they wish it was getting more than one episode - dude. I'm just glad its being animated at all!

Based on what they have done so far, I would expect them to devote single episodes to theses stories. They seem to be finding things for Sesshoumaru to do. Changing the touch of Tokujin to a solo battle instead of an ensemble cast. Having Sesshoumaru in the Kinka-Ginka episode instead of Inuyasha.

IY, Kikyou and SessMom are my favorite characters. Devoting weeks to their story will definitely be worth it.

[luxken27]

*crosses fingers* Here's hoping! I'm just glad its being animated at all. It gave me hope when they placed more emphasis on the mediou zangetsuha technique in the earlier episodes, but it seems like you never know with the anime writer/directors, what they think is relevant and what can be skipped o.O

Apparently the art director for said episode isn't the best, tho - that's what they were bitching about over at freelance manga *shrug*

I didn't really have any doubts they would do the Hell arc, but I'm thrilled to see proof positive. They sure do seem to be speeding through things *not complaining*

SessMom is been occupying more and more of my fan brain lately. Dammit. I may have give in to the plot bunny after all.

She is pretty awesome! LOL, I'd encourage your plot bunny, but I dunno if I'll live to regret that encouragement? :P

*facepalm over my grammar fail*

If the zombie plot bunny ever sees the light of day, it won't be before I lighten my load. I can handle a drabble here and there. A big, involved pre-manga thing needs some space.

But yeah...so looking forward to upcoming episodes. No matter how they arrive.
