INUYASHA ANIME NEWS

SEPTEMBER 13, 2004 - Inuyasha television series finale aired today!

Yes, according to Sunrise producer Machihiko Suwa's interview on Anime Scramble on Aug. 20, there likely will be more Inuyasha projects, but nothing further has been said. Websunday has also hinted that there will still be Inuyasha anime on the horizon, but again, no indication as to what direction it will take.

If there is any further information out of Japan, rest assured I'll post it here.

AUGUST 21, 2004 - A "first installment" of Inuyasha?

Yes, both Yomiuri TV and Websunday have been (rather ambiguously) saying that there indeed will be future Inuyasha anime projects.

It is very common for televised anime to end short of their manga counterparts and not follow through the ending. Yes, the last one-hour televised episode of Inuyasha did NOT end like the manga is going to end (being that the manga hasn't ended yet.) But while 166-167 IS being called the last episode, whether or not the series will continue through OAV (original animation video, direct-to-video) releases, or other unserialized televised episodes, or some other form (:P) hasn't been said or decided. According to the Anime Scramble interview, there will probably not be any production until after Guren no Houraijima is released this winter, though.

We'll keep you updated on more news.

AIR DATE: Sept 13, 2004

On the trail of Naraku, Hakudoushi, and the new youkai creation Mouryoumaru, Inuyasha and the others discover a group of strange youkai-slayers called Gyouja. They turn out to be a group of children led by a mysterious man named Gouryoumaru, who invites them to stay in his temple for the night. That night, they are attacked by a swarm of youkai that seem to be under Kagura's control. But when Gouryoumaru manages to severely injure Kagura, it again raises questions as to what the man's intentions really are...

Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou manage to track Naraku to a mysterious place called Ogre's Rock, where they prepare to make what may be a final stand. When they become trapped within the cave with no way out, Inuyasha is forced to make a decision to use the Shikon fragment, not knowing what the consequences will be...
