Product Description
Inuyasha The Final Act Set 1 (DVD) Kagome is an ordinary schoolgirl who finds her destiny linked to the half demon Inuyasha and the powerful Shikon Jewel. In their quest to restore the shattered Shikon Jewel, Inuyasha and Kagome face their ultimate enemy, the demon mastermind Naraku. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru learns the truth behind his sword Tenseiga, and Kikyo discovers a secret that could defeat Naraku! With the jewel nearly complete and in enemy hands, the race to collect the remaining shards intensifies, and an epic battle is brewing on the horizon!

When the popular "feudal fairy tale" InuYasha ended in 2004 after 167 episodes and four theatrical features, it just stopped. Rumiko Takahashi's manga was still running, so the characters thanked the viewers for watching and flew off. The Final Act (2009) picks up where the first series ended, and the filmmakers assume the audience is familiar with the story, which has grown extremely convoluted. Kagome, a modern high school girl, spends most of her time in the Warring States era, working with the half-demon InuYasha to recover the magical shards of the shattered Shikkon Jewel. The evil Naraku has managed to capture almost all the fragments, but he's having problems with his servants: Kogura, Kanna, the evil infant, and Gorymaru escape his control and even try to destroy him. Many of these episodes focus on supernatural weapons: InuYasha makes his sword Tetseiga even more powerful; by learning sorrow and fear, his half-brother Sesshoumaru acquires the Meidou Zangetsuha technique that sends foes directly to the underworld; Sango discovers the true nature of her boomerang-like Hiraikotsu; and Miroku finds the limit of his Wind Tunnel. Perhaps the most significant weapon is the spark of light the dying Kikyou managed to preserve within the defiled Jewel: Could that tiny glimmer be Naraku's undoing? Richard Ian Cox repeats his role as the bad-tempered but ultimately goodhearted InuYasha; however, several of the cast members are new, notably Kira Tozer as Kagome, and arguments will certainly rage on the web over the merits of the new actors vs. the original ones. Director Yasunao Aoki is drawing together the narrative threads that will bring the tale to a conclusion otaku have awaited for almost 10 years.

First of all let me say this is the VIZ Media dub. There is another dub available on the web from ANIMAX. Avoid it. The voices are different than the ones you are used to from the earlier discs or viewings on Adult Swim. True, two of the main character voices (for the English dub) did not come back (Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru) but the actors replacing them are very compatible with the characters. The sound is crisp and clear and the sub-titles are good. The Animax dub is an inferior dub in my opinion.
Animation
CGI, but top notch. One of the things that brought me to Inuyasha was the drawing, especially the backgrounds. Beautifully drawn and now beautifully rendered. No complaints about the quality or the transfer to DVD. Looks great to me.
Story
A bit of a let down. NO SPOILERS FROM ME. A let down in that very soon in the last series you see that there is a formula being followed-hint---Everyone gets their episode in the sun. One thing this final story arc does achieve is a wrapping up of 99% of all plot points. Sometimes it is done in a very clunky fashion with lots and lots of dialog expounding on a point. I think, IMHO, that maybe restructuring a bit would have allowed them to get the point across without these long discussions which do tend to kill some of the dramatic tension. Still, the ending while predictable, is in its own way satisfying. There is some use of flashbacks to the original episodes to remind us of plot points, but they are generally restrained.
Extras
Extras? What extras? Oh, the original trailer and English cast list...YAWN!
The Splitting of the Final Arc into two sets of two discs
Some reviewers have castigated the makers for doing this, big deal. Pretty much most of the releases of Inuyasha have been done this way. I have a bigger complaint which I expound on in the conclusion below....
Conclusion
I wish we did not have to wait this long for them to go back and finish the series! I feel some fans dropped Inuyasha due to the break in the episodes. Considering the large market they had in the US at that time they really should have gone for it, rather than waiting about 5yrs or so between series. Still I am glad they did do it and I feel that the conclusion-although predictable-was a fitting conclusion to a show that was left hanging.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012After waiting so long and wondering if Viz would ever release this, it is finally here. I just received and finished watching set one of "The Final Act", and while I still wish we had not had to wait so long, the wait was worth it.
My biggest worries were the voice replacements for Kagome and Sesshomaru. Everyone will of course have their own opinions on how well the replacements have done, but I think they both did an admirable job. Coming from me, a HUGE Sesshomaru fan, that is high praise indeed. I was initially heartbroken when I found out David Kaye would not be able to return to voice Shesshomaru. In Shessomaru's first scene when he opened his mouth to speak, I held my breath. Alas, I will miss David Kaye's amazing voice, but Michael Dangerfield does very well. In my heart I tell myself that the alteration in Shesshomaru's voice comes from his change of heart...it works for me!
There has been so much to love about this series. Fantasy, adventure, sword fighting, amazing animation, humor, Japanese setting, great characters. The characters! One of the best things about this series, and this first set of The Final Act, is seeing how much the characters have grown and changed. A few of course change for the worse, but for the most part we get to see all of them grow and change for the better. They become stronger, more courageous, more compassionate, wiser. While I do not want to give spoilers, I will say that the death of one character in particular was among the most beautiful and touching I have ever seen anywhere. Have tissues handy.
If you have been a fan of Inuyasha for years, or have recently discovered it, I don't think this Final Act will disappoint. I myself discovered it years ago, by accident while channel surfing late one night. I will always be so glad I did!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2014Woo hoo does happy dance this picks up where the original series left off and we finally we get to see what happened Inuyasha is in for a big surprize and Sesshoumaru an even bigger one in this action packed series follow up. Our favorite hanyous sword gains amazing new ablities power and strength and Sesshoumaru's sword does as well also enabling the brothers swords to do new and surprising things. Tough it is not [ David Kaye ] the original voice of Sesshoumaru [ Michael Daingerfield ] does amazingly well sounding very much like David Kaye, smiles amd fan girl squeal
It starts with [ Goryomaru ] imprisioned behind bars in Naraku's dungeon cell, He and Hakudoshi are plotting to destroy Naraku Hakudoshi asks Kagura to join them in their scheme, Goryomaru is also now able to devour demons. Inuyasha finds out that the creepy infant is hiding inside Moryomaru with Naraku's heart, during a battle with Moryomaru something amazing happens to Sesshoumaru he gets something very special don't wanna give away to much of the plot but it'll make you say about time like I did. Well no more to say if you havent seen it yet check it out Inuyasha fans will love this

CupcakeReviewed in Canada on February 3, 20145.0 out of 5 stars love it!
my InuYasha collection is almost complete. all thats left to get now is the final act set 2. Which i will be getting soon for my birthday. i bought this over a year ago, but never did a product review. so im going to say right now....
BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE FINAL ACT IN ENGLISH. because watching it on free anime websites only gives you the japanese, and then you have to keep reading subtitles that can disappear before you read them all.
so if you love inuyasha, and you have seasons 1-7....get this, and set 2 as well. you wont be disappointed.

sylvainReviewed in Canada on February 26, 20135.0 out of 5 stars Inuyasha final act
Finally,after years of waiting,the end is in sight(well the first half anyway).There is a lot happening in the first half of the final act,new characters,old ones die,and Inuyasha is still Inuyasha.I was very happy to see that most of the english cast was back with the exception of David Kaye(voice of Sesshomaru) and Moneca Stori (voice of kagome),however the ons who replaced them did a terrific job.
