New IY anime to be simulcast by Viz

:UPDATE: So, if you're impatient and understand enough Japanese to make it through an episode of Inuyasha without subs or dubs, you might be interested in a free and legal way to view the series as it airs there.  It's free and legal, and streamed live as it airs on Nihon TV (channel 364) KeyHoleTV at 2:20am Japanese time (which is 12:20pm Central time until Daylight savings time has us change our clocks back one hour, after which it will be 11:20am - assuming I haven't messed up my figuring at 2am).  You can download the necessary software at www.v2p.jp/video/english/index… .  Once you've done that, open the program and scroll down the list of TV stations until you find channel 364.  

KeyHoleTV was created by the Japanese government and is free - and legal.  

Otherwise, we'll have to wait and see at just what time Viz will be streaming the episodes on the websites listed below.


Information in this week's Shounen Sunday
I went ahead and scanned in the two page spread from this week's Shounen Sunday.  It talks about the premiere of the new Inuyasha series tomorrow in Japan and has pictures of some items you can get (if you live in Japan)...including a figure of Rin-Ne from Takahashi's newest manga.

The scans are here:  adinuyasha.thebrokenconsole.co… and adinuyasha.thebrokenconsole.co…

WATCH THE ANIME, starting tomorow (October 3) here shonensunday.com/anime and hulu.com

Don't forget to read Takahashi's newest manga, RIN-NE, on-line in English (courtesy of Viz) with weekly chapters that come out the same day they come out in Japan.  Go to therumicworld.com  &…;

*UPDATE* The trailer is up care of Viz, complete with subtitles, here - shonensunday.com/video/index.s… or without subtitles on the Japanese site www.ytv.co.jp/inuyasha/trailer…

As I suspected, Viz will be streaming the new IY series on the same day it airs in Japan.  See below...

The North American anime distributor Viz Media has confirmed at its New York Anime Festival panel on Sunday that it will start simulcasting the Inuyasha: The Final Act television anime series on Saturday, October 3. The streaming will be hosted at shonensunday.com/anime and hulu.com online. Viz Media also confirmed that Syfy will premiere the television anime adaptation of Naoki Urasawa's Monster manga on October 12.
