----------------------------------------
Sadly it was just as it happened in the manga. No divinations that I can point out.

I though that maybe they would give the fans what they wanted, but that was not the case.

I liked the new ending. I guess they will never change the opening which I think needs to be changed.

Next weeks episode its going to be interesting. Can't wait!

I loved the new ending!! I really disliked the previous one. This one has better animation and a better song. I still love with you the best song-wise though. The story followed the manga well from what i can remember, but i agree that i wish they would've changed it a little.

I like the new ending, actually, I have to wait for the full thing for me to actually say that.

Lame scabbard is lame though. Exams really are demons though, *shudder*

I'd never wanted to kill Souta until now D: LOL! They're following the manga almost perfectly, and it's not feeling that rushed anymore O:
The new ending is cool! Really liked it! Animation quality is good, but one thing, though: it's the same old 'characters-walking-dramatically-and then-gazing-into-the-horizon-as-the-sun-rises-and-wind-blows-their-hair' thing xD it's so predictable it's not even funny o.o

Next episode is gonna be interestingg!!

Thought that was a great episode. [Painfully] faithful to the manga. XD Like Kagome said, they could have enjoyed themselves at the hot springs a little longer...! They're hot springs! Come on! Don't rush home so fast. D:

Ahem. Anyway. I love how exams are, according to Inuyasha, demons. Yes, they are. Very much so. Only they have a greater potential to suck away your soul, unfortunately.

Funny episode. I liked it, and wow, poor Inuyasha and Kagome, they were almost there, loool. indeed, very fateful to the manga till now...maybe they will change the end or Kagome fans will be a bit disappointed, i guess.

LOOOOOL. Inuyasha thinks exams are demons, HAHAHAHA. Poor Kagome, i understand her *studying for exams sucks*.

I find it kinda odd they'd have 3 endings for only 26 eps.. most 26-ep series only have one ending... the song isn't bad, but I think I like the previous one better, and the animation better, 'cause it's winter-themed, and we never seen winter in the series (movies don't count).. I wonder how long it's been since the start of the series, it always seems to be summer in the Feudal Era XD

Haha, cosplayer Inuyasha XD

Yay next ep is that arc! Sango x Miroku!! *squees*

Entrance Exams are demons, Inuyasha has never been more right about modern life. And I really loved this unpredictable episode but did anyone notice that their body shapes were a bit contorted at some parts?

This brought back memories of how the fillers used to be.

I loved the part where they used to yell at each other:
INUYASHA!
KAGOME!
INUYASHAAAAAAAAA !!!
KAGOMEEEEEEEEE !!!

Man whatever the name of what Sesshoumaru is wearing he should wear it short sleeve, show some skin!

I always wonder about all these anime about demons and such that use to live along human, where are they now? I mean they are no demons in Kagome's time, and no one never explain to us what happen to them.

I don't know why she is wasting her time with school and stuff....

"ohh a cosplayer"
hahahahahahaha i love that scene either manga or anime

edit: the new ed is nice, this anime likes to change endings rather than ops, see how much there are xD(and i think the second of kanketsu hen was winter themed because of christmas)
like 13 ends vs 6 ops?

just 1 ep more notedhero and u will see some good miroku x sango :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Sota!!! Damn you child, and to think I used to like you in the first season! Now you're just annoying.

Sigh, I hate it when I get teased like this. Okay rant over.

After all the action from the previous episode it was nice to get a break from all the fighting. Inuyasha really helped Kagome out with her bag.

And I totally fell in love with Kagome's mom when she brought her exam ID card. Best mom of the year just like my mom <3

This episode was SO FUNNY xDDDD I was laughing the whole time! One of the best Final Act episodes.

Some funny things:
The guy at the train station thought InuYasha was cosplaying xD
Kagome: "You'll probably go to a hot spring with Miroku and Sango"
All the trouble they went to just to get the exam ticket back xD
And InuYasha was going to cut the train up! Good thing Kagome stopped him.
Kagome's mom hiding InuYasha's ears at the end xD

And all those InuYasha and Kagome moments were amazing T_T Even if they didn't actually kiss, the intent was there and that's what matters. I'm getting all mushy now...

I know, right?! Lol after 185 episodes, and then we get a tease like that? xD But everything InuYasha did for Kagome in this episode makes up for Sota interrupting them. ^_^

One of the main things that keep getting repeated over and over again. He/she lives to fight. Considering what I have seen both in reading and watching the series, I have to say, it holds pretty true.

I so fucking knew it! Why would you tease a kiss like that? :(
But at least now I can be sure that they will get together at the end, with Kagome probably choosing to stay there.

It still feels a bit weird after the whole Kikyo thing though... I wish Inuyasha actually chose Kagome at some point, not just like a 2nd option :S But I know, Inuyasha does love her, even if he himself was conflicted by loving two woman.

Boring episode and again, no kiss though I don't mind it tbh.

Never really liked any of the OPs and EDs of the final act so I'm indifferent.

This ep was very similar to another one when Kagome had to go to school.

weird animation, but considered to be light-heart episode it was fine.

really loved some of the jokes and kagome frustration and that fanservice scene before the next serious episode.


good ending, much better than the previous, but i still think the 1st Ed was the best here.

This episode would've been perfect if Inuyasha and Kagome kissed. But I guess it's too early for that. It still became one of my favorites. 

Man, Kagome's nightmare made me remember some of my own nightmares of entrance exams. The whole episode was a ride. I wonder if Kagome will pass the high school entrance exam. 

New ED. It's good. It's the final Inuyasha ED but it doesn't feel like it. We're near the end, aren't we?

Another comedic modern era episode, with some plot points here and there that will be important later on. Other than that, not much to say here. Of course their kiss was interrupted. That can't happen until the last episode.
