The end of an era

Thu Jun 19, 2008, 7:25 PM
  • Mood:
  • Listening to: Move
  • Reading: Chapter 558 of Inuyasha - final
  • Watching: Busou Renkin
  • Drinking: Diet Pepsi
With the publication of chapter 558 of Inuyasha in the weekly zashi, Shounen Sunday, the manga series has finally been completed. There will be no more. I won't say too much about the events of the final chapters except to say that I'm mostly happy. I say mostly, because the one magical event I've waited 558 chapters for never happened. But then again, that's what fanfiction and fanart are for.

You can see the last chapter of Inuyasha (and all chapters from 449-558 - volumes 46-56) on my site - [link] And, if you're one who wants to discuss the final moments of the series - you've read the scanlations and don't have to worry about being "spoiled", you're always welcome to join the discussion on the Adinuyasha list over on Yahoo groups - [link]

Of course, based on what Michihiko Suwa (the producer of Inuyasha from YTV-Japan) said at the Inuyasha "industry" panel at Animazement last month, we can expect the anime to resume. It originally stopped - went on hiatus, as Suwa-san said repeatedly - when the anime caught up with the manga. There is no official word on when the series will be starting again, but Suwa-san went so far as to discuss the time-slot he's hoping for.

To those in the Inuyasha fandom - you'll probably have mixed emotions about the final chapter. Inuyasha/Kagome and Miroku/Sango fans can breath a sigh of relief, although the final chapter wrapped things up in just 37 pages and seemed to rush over things most of us would love to see more fleshed out. But, overall, the ending was happy. That's all I'll say here for now.

I give a heartfelt thanks to ~Patches365 for taking time these past few years to provide us with weekly translations of the chapters. To *doggieearlover who took time from her busy schedule every week to do the html for the Adinuyasha.com website (even making last-minute changes when we discovered two-page spreads or extra pages). To *kojika for jumping in the past few months and translating the sound effects (sfx) in the manga. To all who helped me with the scanning, and to Bole for providing the webspace (and it's virtually unlimited bandwidth, which the site DID need with the over 2,000,000 hits in less than two years). And, to ~Devikuro her dedication to her own scanlations until real life made it impossible for her to continue - at which time I picked them up.

And, mostly, to Rumiko Takahashi herself for writing such an amazing series. I've never been drawn in by a manga/anime to this extent before, and I somehow doubt I will again. The good news - the final volume won't be released in English by Viz until around January 2014, with their current release rate. That gives us five more years to look forward to new volumes coming out here in the US, even though we've read the chapters via scanlations before.

Oh, and if anyone is going to be going to Otakon, Yamaguchi Kappei is on the guest list, and you can bet I'll be first in line to meet the voice of Inuyasha!

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on! :o
Your first couple of deviations, the star wars ones, are brilliant.

The rest is garbage.

Put your cursor here --> O
You have had 50 years to practice drawing but not only is your art disturbing it is a pile of steaming crap.

Seriously how the hell can you support pornographic images of children, you are so messed up - you are disgusting.

You are probably going to hide this comment because you want to hide the fact your just a creepy paedophile.
really is that necessary? you have a problem with it, go somewhere else.

Hmm difficult to take a Twilight fan seriously... but anyway -Yes it was necessary - it is artists like her who give DA such a shitty reputation. All she does is complain about DA rules so why doesn't she just leave herself. I find it really hard to understand how herself and others somehow feel DA is being unfair by not letting them slap their child porn everywhere. Honestly the internet would be a better place without her.
so you not only insult people because they express their opinion, that you don't happen to agree with, but you also judge people simply by their likes and dislikes. i still don't understand how your comment was necessary. what did you accomplish? how is your one comment going to help deviantart's reputation?

\"I just want to try one thing ...\"
-Edward Cullen
So I am a horrible person because I don't RESPECT someone's choice to DRAW CHILD PORN??? That is like having a go at someone because they don't respect a rapist's choice of choosing to rape people.

You are a disgusting individual for even standing up for someone who draws this twisted shit.

Also what people like and dislike is a very good way to judge people and is also a very human thing to do... so what the hell are you even talking about?
Thought I'd ask where your TOTD fan-fiction is, since I can't seem to find it...
I second this opinion. I've heard so much about your fanfiction, but can't seem to find where it is. I'd LOVE the chance the read it.

A birthday rhyme for you
on your special day

Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is loving and giving.
Thursday's child works hard for a living,
Friday's child fears no foe.
Saturday's child has far to go.
And the child born on Sunday
is bonny and wise in every way.

I was born to catch dragons in their dens,
And pick flowers.
To tell tales and laugh away the morning.
To drift and dream like a lazy stream,
And walk barefoot across sunshine days.

EVERYONE! Leave Urd-chan alone...let her do what she wants, regardless of how taboo you think it is. Why are there always people being negative to others? If it really bothers you just go away! Is there really an age limit to anime and hobbies? NO. There is not.
