Prolly posting this for Dam alone but...



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.

Might want to find another image there, Heir, it seems ANN didn't like you posting their image :P

fixed...

the only problem is that I hear they will cover only 26 episodes, thats 1 volume+ per episode versus the original 167 that covered the first 38 volumes.

ugh I've never finished watching the other Inu series... they kept showing the same episodes over and over here

Some of the original 167 were filler episodes though, because the rate of animation had caught up to the rate of drawing of the manga.

Actually, Inuyasha had very little in the way of filler. Thats why it cuts off before the end of the magna.

Yeah, most of the filler came in between the Band of Seven arc and the final arc concerning the last jewel shard. I actually liked the Naginata of Kenkon filler arc though.

Saw the first episode, kind of confusing as it correlates to the manga. They've covered about 25 chapters in the first new episode, but they've also skipped over some stuff that will be covered in the second episode. As at least one of my fellow writers on Dokuga mentioned, at this rate they could be at chapter 550 by episode 9. :ohwell

Didn't we ban him?

Kraken?
