Anime Information:
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.

Basically according to Weekly Shounen Sunday vol.34, a new season of Inu Yasha was announced to be aired from this autumn. It's the final chapter of the series titled "Inu Yasha Kanketsu-hen" and the original staff and cast will animate the manga volumes 36 - 56.

Viz Adds Inuyasha the Final Act, Kekkaishi Anime
The North American anime distributor Viz Media has announced at its second Saturday panel at Comic-Con International that it has acquired the upcoming Inuyasha: The Final Act (Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen) anime series and the Kekkaishi anime series. Inuyasha: The Final Act continues beyond where the first anime series ended and adapts the story from the final 21 compiled book volumes of Rumiko Takahashi's original manga. It will premiere in Japan this fall. The panelists screened a trailer from the 2006-2008 anime adaptation of Yellow Tanabe's Kekkaishi supernatural action manga. Viz will release the first print volume of Takahashi's RIN-NE manga in October, after having already posted the manga online.

Synopsis:
Higurashi Kagome, after being pulled down a well by a demon, finds herself in Feudal Japan, where she learns that a powerful jewel has been reborn inside her body. After the jewel shatters in an attempt to retrieve it from one of the many demons who was after its power, Kagome must join forces with the half-demon Inu Yasha (also after the jewel's power) to track down the shards of the jewel before its power falls into the wrong hands.

This has been known for a while but I just larned it and didn't see a thread here so...yeah.

I just hope that, when the anime is eventually dubbed, that they get the original English voices back.

Shikon no Tama, I wish for you to disappear!

[rubah]

Let's mosey on to the Lounge ;D

[theundeadhero]

I still care :)
This makes me happy. Inuyasha is awesome.

[Crimson]

Smurf yes new Inuyasha.

[Shlup]

I hope it sucks less.

[Wolf Kanno]

How long is this series going to be? As long as it doesn't have the massive filler and the cut away fight scenes, it should be good. Though I am a bit burnt out on Inu-Yasha since its plot starts to repeat itself.

[G13]

I hope it sucks less.

This.

I like Inu Yasha, but towards the end I really got the feeling it could've been so much more than it was.

I would have much rather turned it to DBZ and watch Goku just stand there and look at Frieza for 30 more episodes!

[SomethingBig]

Awesome, I can't wait for 200+ more episodes of filler with maybe 50 canon episodes.

I loved Inuyasha when it first aired on CN, what, 5 years ago? I was still new to anime, but even then, I was still in love with Japanese romance stories, so the love triangle between Inuyasha and Kikyo was new and unique to me. Sesshomaru was still the most badass villain-gone-hero ever and Naraku was still an ass.

And then it turned into Pokemon, where Naraku and his cronies would just narrowly slip through Inuyasha's hand because Naraku had Wolverine-like healing powers, where he could revive from a single hair follicle after every story arc.

[Forsaken Lover]

You gys do realize two facts:
1. The manga is over thus the entire purpose of filler episodes, to let the manga get ahead, doesn't exist.
B. There's less than half ot the manga left to adapt so it should only be about 100 episodes.

[Renmiri]

I still love Inuyasha :D

[Wolf Kanno]

It doesn't change the fact they may try to milk the series as long as they can. Inu-Yasha was big money so why relegate it to just a faithful re-telling when all the fans know how it already ends?

Besides, the manga being over never stopped DBGT from being made...

[Marshall Banana]

There will be a lot more of Sesshoumaru in this round! The love triangle between Kikyou, Kagome, and Inuyasha will be resolved, too.

There might be some filler episodes, but the manga has ended, so it won't be, like, 167 episodes. Takahashi, herself, created a lot of "filler chapters" in the manga.

[Moon Rabbits]

I was a fan for about the 13 first episodes, then I sort of lost interest in the entire series.

Personally, I think Inuyasha is a story that could have been told in many less episodes.

edit: I STILL LOVE SESHMAROU (or however you spell it) THOUGH.

[Marshall Banana]

Oh, and the ending will suck, if it isn't changed.

[Forsaken Lover]

I liked it.
Naraku realizing all he really wanted was Kikyo so the Jewel wasn't of any real use.
