The wait is finally over. We can finally see the end of the saga that we thought we'd never see. It took four years for the Japanese version to come out but we had to wait another 4. I satiated my thirst for learning how all this would turn out by downloading all the manga stories. When I found out that the series was a go, but for only 26 episodes, I was worried. How could they fit all that was to come in just 26 episodes? Still, I was pleased. Like most true fans I went online and watched the Final Act when it became available. The Japanese voices did not deter me, as long as the subtitles allowed me to follow the story. And now, finally, the wait was over and Inuyasha final act was in my hands. So what do I think?
The voice actors: most are back except Monica Stori and David Kaye who voiced Kagome and Sesshomaru. It does not take long to get used to the new Kagome, but Sesshomaru gets a bit of getting used to. I would have preferred a voice actor who would have imitated the original one.
The cramming of the books in 26 episodes: Having read the mangas, I found the evolution of the Tetsusaiga a bit too quick for my taste but the whole thing makes the episodes much more entertaining as it involves lots of action.
The themes songs: the Intro and credits songs are great!
The feel of the show: Just like the first 7 seasons. The musics are all back, the art is perfect, the emotional scenes still bring tears to your eyes.
Conclusion: If you're a fan of Inuyasha you'll be pleased.
