Inuyasha: The Final Act ... anyone else watch it besides me?

[Katie Dawn]

So, I didn't care that they haven't dubbed The Final Act yet ... I HAD to watch it. I was one of the people that was upset at the ending of the series. Definitely worth watching, even though it confused me at times. It made me laugh a lot and made me cry a lot (way more crying than in the original series ... that could just be me though).

I was just curious to see how many others have watched it ... I'd love to discuss it with you guys!

(If you're waiting for it to be dubbed, can I ask why?)

[Spygirl426]

Not me....I'm on episode 28!

[Kagome]

Not me....I'm on episode 28!

28...? o_o There are only 26 of Final Act.

And I watched it back when it was coming out in Japan. Late 2009 early 2010. No way was I going to wait for the dub. Though imo, the dub is pretty disgusting compared to the original Japanese anyway. I've never watched *any* Inuyasha dubbed in English, and so help me- I never will. >x>

Though then again-the manga was better than the anime all together anyway. Had more substance and better development-no fillers either.

[Yurika]

I was impatient too, I got the subbed version.

[KageNoNeko]

I started to watch it, but never finished it. I probably should try to figure out where I left off and then continue it.

[Spygirl426]

I didn't even watch Final Act! That's why. I'm on episode 28 of the original InuYasha, from Netflix

Aa. I see. You should probably read the manga though. The anime leaves a LOT to be desired. Manga is a hellvua lot better.

[Inuboy1000]

Not me (even though I'm probably one of the biggest Inuyasha fans ever), only because I'm waiting for the English dub... has it been announced yet?

[すずめ]

I watched it on animax.
It was good.

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

I watched it like 2 or 3 months ago and it was really awesome

[かごめ]

Manga was better then 99% of the final act...I will say that the 26th episode was better then the last chapter in the manga though.

I didn't read the manga closely, only some random parts of it so can't say whether I prefer the Manga to Kanketsu-Hen but I completely agree that the last episode was better (I'd say much) than the last chapter as

 

InuYasha and Kagome don't even kiss, which really sucks!

I also think

 

that scene in which those two are at Kagome's place and almost kiss eachother (then Sota arrives and interrupts them) doesn't happen at all in the manga

It does. THAT was cannon. It did indeed happen in the manga. Manga volume 50, chapter 6, cumulative chapter 494. And typical of Takahashi's humor. Very Ranma-esque.

You just improved my day a lot for saying so
Thanks a lot! I'll have a look at it asap

[Kagome]

oxo Glad I could help. lol.

If you have *any* questions at all about what is in the manga I can tell you. And if it is in there-I can tell you where. A mod here, MaruDashi, didn't name me the resident Inuyasha Guru for nothing. lol.

I agree with かごめ that the manga is 99% better then the anime...And I think the last episode is better than the manga for the same reasons you do Luffy. x3 lol.

Thanks for all the help
I can see you really are a pro when it comes to InuYasha

And about the last episode vs the last chapter well, ending without InuYasha and Kagome kissing isn't really ending, glad I've watched the last episode first than read the last chapter

I have it. It's a pretty darn good way to end the series.

Though since Kagome lives in the same area as her family Shrine there's a better than average chance that she's her own great-great-great-great-great grandmother.

And that she and Inuyasa died horribly since said dog demon is not still in the area. Neither is Sesshomaru or any of the others really... unless...

Funny and adequated images, both of them

Haha, that's a pretty nice point of seeing things.
As I said in this thread

, the result of time travellings can lead to time paradoxals like what you've said: Kagome's being her own great-great-great-great-great grandmother, which theorically is impossible.

At least Kikiyo died without kids. That would have added a whole other ring to the whole thing.

Sorry, what do you mean by a whole other ring?

[Kagome]

She didn't know Inuyasha long enough, nor was she intemate at all with him to even *go* that far as to have children. She wouldn't have ever dreamed of it until the tama was gone anyway.

Though therein lies the issue...if Inuyasha had wished to become human for Kikyou, the tama would not have been purified and vanished-because essentially in the tama's idea-that would have been a selfish wish, and it would have used it to continue on...so Kikyou would not have been able to be just a woman as she'd wanted. Which is sad...but...that's the way the tama worked.

And as always @Higurashi Kagome knows everything about InuYasha

Inuyasha was the very first Anime I watched back in 2005 and I loved it. Obviously the ending left me very angry and I heard from multiple sources that they were never gonna continue with the series. So, you can imagine how excited I was to hear they were gonna continue the series and finish the story.

Being the first Anime I watched I watched the English dub (these days I wouldn't dream of watching any Anime in English seeing how terrible they are) but I thought the VA's for Inuy. done a decent job. So i waited for them to dub it in English only to find out the original VA's were not reprising their roles for the Final Act. So I have yet to watch it but I'll give the Japanese dub a try at some point... well, I will soon because I really wanna see the ending.

Yup, I watched Inuyasha's first series and Kanketsu-hen a few months ago so didn't need to wait for it
But I can't even imagine how agry you actually got since first series' ending is really lame, I wouldn't even call it an ending as everything stays open, it's pretty much like

 

FMA ending

Yeah, watch them sub, the japanese voices of InuYasha, Kagome, Shipou, Miroku, Sango, Sesshomaru, Jaken, Naraku, Kouga... well, everyone's voices are awesome!

[Clayton_n]

Sorry, what do you mean by a whole other ring?

Well what if Kagome and Inuyasha's kids married into Kikyo (and Inuyasha?)'s family and then produced Kagome and family?

Might explain grandpa though...
