Product Description

Product Description

Kagome finds her worlds colliding as she struggles to both fight alongside Inuyasha in the past and pass the exam to get into her high school of choice in the present. But with her spiritual powers sealed away, how will she purify the Shikon Jewel before Naraku can absorb it forever? As the battle enters its final stages, Inuyasha and his friends find their strength, loyalties and will to live pushed to impossible limits. And in the end, the final key to Naraku’s and the Jewel’s destruction may lie in nothing more—and nothing less—than the trust between a half demon and a girl from the future.

Amazon.com

After nearly 10 years, 193 episodes, and four theatrical features, Rumiko Takahashi's "feudal fairy tale" InuYasha reaches its conclusion. The lines for the ultimate battle between good and evil are drawn: on one side, the half-demon Naraku, who has reunited the enormously powerful shards of the magical Shikkon Jewel; on the other, modern schoolgirl Kagome, the half-demon InuYasha, and their friends--warrior Sango and her brother Kohaku, monk Miroku, and Shippo the fox-demon. Even InuYasha's aloof half-brother Sesshoumaru joins Naraku's foes. As the tale builds to the climactic battle, each character is tested and must prove worthy of the trust and love the others have bestowed. Kagome and InuYasha face the most dire perils, and their triumph reflects the strength of the bond they share. Director Yasunao Aoki uses all the special effects at his disposal as InuYasha and Sesshoumaru develop ever-more fantastic sword techniques, Kagome's magical arrows assume greater power, and Naraku's illusions grow more baroque. After so many battles, spells, lovers' spats, adventures, comic misunderstandings, and journeys through time and space, it's hard to bid farewell to these beloved characters. But the conclusion is a satisfying one, both for Takahashi's characters and her audience. Unlike Dorothy Gale, Kagome discovers that while there's no place like home, some places--and times--are better.

    This should be a great set. The only fault I found with the first 13 episodes, which I think is shared here, is that Viz / Ocean omitted credits for all of the guest star voice acting roles and for several of the regulars. That merits the loss of half a star; but I couldn't bring myself to deduct a whole one.

    The pacing and content of these episodes is vastly superior to the first half of the series, where great holes in the narrative were left out. If you want to find out what really happened, read the manga. The VizBig sets are up to volume 12 as of this writing (soon to be 13) and are exquisite copies of the originally published single volumes with the benefit of clean print face, better quality paper, and unflipped frames.

    EDIT: Having watched the entire series, I can say that the digital transfer is very good. The original was produced in 1080 HD, making the blu-ray media a better reproduction. However, the DVD is still fairly detailed.

    As was the case with the first 13 episodes, all titles in the OP and ED for each episode are in Japanese. There is an "extra feature" on the second disc that translates all of that text for each episode in the set. This is great if you want to know the Japanese cast and crew; but the English voice actors are woefully under-represented. Practically none of the guest star voices are mentioned and even some of the regulars are overlooked, except for the main cast (most of whom returned to voice the same characters).

    If anyone is familiar with the characters from the original series, Sesshomaru, Kagome and Kaede are now voiced by different actors because the original performers were unable to return for various reasons. This may, or may not, be important in your decision to purchase this set. This is only my opinion; but all except one acquit themselves very well taking over roles that are strongly identified with their original portrayals. I do have a quibble with one of the leads and feel that the acting for Kagome is weaker than it could, or should, be. Detractors of the original performer may come to regret their criticism after watching this follow-up series.

    That being said, the pacing of the second 13 episodes is more leisurely and linear than in the first half, although the tension builds constantly. However, events are still switched around in sequence from the manga and there is unnecessary filler included while canon events are omitted. Things move along so quickly though, that some viewers may not notice, or care.

    Inuyasha and his friends are fighting harder than ever to kill Naraku. Time is running out. Miroku doesn't have much time left, and the jewel is almost entirely in Naraku's hands. Inuyasha's group will have to team up with Sesshomaru if they hope to defeat the evil demon. When they do, what will happen to the sacred jewel? Will Kagome be able to go between worlds? Or will she have to choose one? Will she even have a choice? All of the questions you may have had for the past 12+ years are going to be answered.

    This is the end of Inuyasha. It's been a long time coming, but it's finally over. I have to admit that it ended the way I expected, but I was still a little let down. The final battle with Naraku lasted for most of the last 8 episodes or so. Once the battle is over, the series wraps up pretty quickly. Even thought there is a time warp, and 3 years pass immediately, I really wish that we had a few more episodes to look into the future a little more. After such a long and drawn out series, I think it was kind of owed to the fans. Despite those feelings, I'm still happy with the ending.

    Either way, if you have been a fan of the series all this time, you will probably thoroughly enjoy this conclusion. The animation, soundtrack, and voice acting is all still very good. You may already know that Kagome, and Sesshomaru have new voice actors. I wouldn't worry about it so much. They do fit in pretty well. I highly recommend this DVD to every anime fan out there. It's great!

    We have spent the better part of 162 episodes with Kagome and InuYasha and their allies as they fought against Naraku and his minions. Now we see the final battles, the loss of each of those terrible incarnations of Naraku; and the aftermath. Does Kagome live happily ever after?

    Is it in the present, with her friends and back in High School? Does she master her entrance exams to University? Or does she remain in the past with InuYasha? The answers are here, and they are complete. No second guessing. A series finale befitting of the show, with heart, character, and excellent story telling. I am not going to be one of those idiots that gives a blow-by-blow summary of the every episode - that's why we watch them. What I will tell you is: if you slugged through all the episodes, and are here, this is worth every penny.

    While it is sad to say goodbye to this series, I could not have asked for a better ending than this. Without rehashing what I already said about part one of "The Final Act", I will just say that any complaints I may have about this final season were minor. The story itself was fantastic, and I cannot imagine how the ending could have been any better. What a ride this has been!! While I miss the beautiful packaging that came with Seasons 1-7, I would encourage anyone who loved this series to go ahead and add "The Final Act" to their collection. It is definitely worth it. I know I will enjoy traveling back through the well with Kagome again and again.
    Many thanks to Rumiko Takahashi for a wonderful story, and to absolutely everyone who helped to bring this series to life in the anime.

    The disc set 2 came in better condition than the first. The plastic film dust jacket wasn't overly shrunken around the DVD case.
    The discs were pristine, no shipping damage at all, and playablility was perfect.
    Inuyasha is my favorite anime of all time, and at least to me, it is always worth buying the DVDs in new condition.

    After all these years, the Inuyasha anime has finally come to a close. It will be very much missed. It took me nearly three weeks to even put one disc in because once i watched all the episodes, Inuyasha would be well and truly completed. But still, a great product and a must-have for anyone ready to see the final showdown with Naraku, and after-story of all our favorite heros.

    Let me prefacevthis review by stating I loved the original run of Inuyasha.
    Depsite the abbreviated ending.
    Despite the filler that plagued the last 2 seasons.
    Despite the see saw plot mechanics.
    And despite a main who, in spite of himself, was actually quite likeable.
    The Final Act is, to be blunt, the most frantic 26 episodes of anime in YEARS.
    I mean that in the best way possible.
    Unlike the generally plodding pacing of previous plotlines, this was a riveting dash to the end, with (SPOILER) death coming at nearly every corner.
    There was truly finality here, and every fan of the earlier works does themselves an injustice not watching.
    It is entirely captivating television amd a welcome return to animation for the series' creators.
    Yes, Sesshomaru does have a new voice actor, but his work on this emotional work is exceptional and a minor concession for fans to make.
    By episode 5, you will have adapted and then it's off to the races. A foregone conclusion, perhaps, but the road they take to get there is about as magical as anything I've seen in anime.
    A worthwhile addition to any collection and a wonderful conclusion to this feudal fairytale.

    My 14 year old, who is half Japanese has been watching this series since she was 5. I have watched it with her for 9 years. We were sad to see it end, but have the whole series to watch all over again with her 7 & 8 year old sisters. To those who may think its too violent for children...they understand that the blood is not real and that there is no such thing as demons. They have never had nightmares. They have loved the characters and laughed and cried with them. I think the over all theme of the power of love is a good lesson for them.
