As I've said on a few occasions, my relationship with the Inuyasha series is purely a masochistic one. While it started out as a fun time travelling adventure, it quickly descended into a pit of episodic filler. Hell, even the canon was episodic. The general formula was this: Find Naraku>Get beat up by Naraku>Get power up>Beat Naraku, causing him to hide>Find Naraku again, but the power up is now uselss. Repeat that a 5 times or so and you have the series that is Inuyasha. Of course, considering the part it played in my early anime experience, the series does hold some importance to me despite the major flaws. For this reason, I have decided to watch the new anime picking up where the last one left off and continuing to the end. You can watch the first episode here.
To be honest, I completely forgot what was going on during the ending of the original anime series. The characters were familiar, but the current plot point (or repeat of) was not familiar. Two important pieces of Naraku fought the main gang and Kohaku ended up reunited with his sister. In addition, one of the body pieces of Naraku ended up absorbed my Miroku's wind tunnel. All in all, an episode where a lot of stuff happened.
I don't know if it's because of the lack of filler, but this lightning fast pace was incredibly rare in the old anime. Hopefully things continue to move fast so it doesn't get boring. I'll have more when we're a little further in.
