Main girl helping out w. her sister's clan and developed her sense to sense enemies.

One of the 4 evils, bird?, is the next enemy. The boss (Hosoya-san? He does two roles w. "Kirin")...

Her sister left Main girl because she's sleeping, which she dreamed when they were in present time. She met FukuJun's character. He gave her the real sword, which he stole and led her to get caught.

lol @ Puky (parody of Pocky)

It seems like it's another side of ep.1 where the sisters trying to save her. That place also happens to be the next target. That's how she knows they came (also sensing the real body of the enemy).

Inuyasha and Kagome next?!

Towa was being accused of stealing a sword from the Shogun and they brought her to to their place. It looks like they had some stuff that proves Kagome’s time travels. Towa and the others beat them with a great teamwork and got her book back from them. It was a good episode.

Interesting that Kirinmaru needs to be reminded who Tonkotsu is. Maybe his memory is affected as well or something.

We've completed the loop which began back in the very first scene of the whole show. Setsuna and Moroha rescuing Towa from the deputy shogun along with Yotsume fleeing in is owl form. This guy whom Towa meet Riku seems interesting, given that he's in the opening I'd assume he will show up again sooner than later but we'll see. Nasty trick he did leaving that sword with Towa so she'd be the one accused of stealing it instead of him. Towa not wanting to feel like a nuisance is a good for her to aim towards, we saw earlier in the episode with her helping out the demon slayers so I think she's coming along well. The dream she had with her and Setsuna spending time together and sleeping in the modern age did make me sad. She's trying to help her sister so much but can't seem to find anything about this butterfly. Now they've got to face one of Kirinmaru underlings.

This episode...taking a backseat from all the action of the previous episodes and going back to where it all started to complete the circle of events.

The Master Peril Kirinmaru forgetting one of his underlings...not surprised that if it was someone close to him he'd care about.

And a bit of backtracking with Towa and Setsuna, the link still in shambles but whatever, the curiosity is growing.

This Riku pirate through a meeting of coincidence and giving Towa the REAL sword, and the glimpse of going back to Episode 1 and finishing the loop, looks like we've only just been on the introduction loop this whole time.

Next episode's preview of Inuyasha and Kagome, what is this story trying to show us, everything's still a mystery.

I wonder if Kirinmaru has had his memories toyed with too like Sesshomaru and that would explain why he didn’t remember one of his perils. Orrr he’s just an asshole and doesn’t care for his subordinates. I’m thinking it’s the former though, since it seems like his assistant is plotting to take the pearls for herself.

We got some pretty cool context to the events that took place in episode 1, so now we know Riku was the cause of Towa getting captured. He’s an interesting guy and I hope we see more of him.

Next week’s preview tho.. this is when shit’s gonna get real. Looks like we’ll find out what happened to Kagome and Inuyasha and confirmation that Rin is the twin’s mother. Can’t wait.

This was pretty much the first episode with context on how things happened.

Riku was pretty cool, he made an impression. I hope he's a recurring character.

Looking forward to learning about what happened to the OG cast.

Might as well call this a recycled recap. They did not even try to do something slightly different and went ahead using the same EP1 material.

Oh look, we've finally caught up to speed to uh....episode 1.

I'm not holding my breath for any sort of "What happened with Inuyasha and Kagome" reveal since the episode before trolled Miroku appearance in the preview when in reality they only showed a split second of him as a flashback.

Honestly if they don't start revealing anything soon I'm afraid of watching this any further.....

Oh well, i like this new character, i hope we see more of him.
Half of the episode was exactly the same as in the first episode, horrible.
Those small interactions between Setsuna and Hisui are so cute.
BUT, i like what's in the preview, looks like we are getting into the story from now on?

So, Jyubei is getting requests to kill these big bad youkais from a person he can't say no to...I wonder if it is someone we know or it is a new character. It looks like he is talking with Riku in the preview...

Apparently Riku has one of the rainbow pearls, that blue earing of his.


I feel like the "don't want to mess up history" thing Towa keeps saying doesn't even make sense at this point, I mean, look at her clothes and the shit she brought to this time lol I don't even remember Kagome being worried about that when she was going around with her bicycle XD

Okay, so maybe next episode we are going to get information on Kagome and Inuyasha. It looks like the Tanuki kid is with Miroku in one cutscene as well.

So this new character is definitely related to krinmaru somehow, probably his son or grandson. Looks like we'll finally be seeing something with Inuyasha and Kagome next episode, though this show trolled us with Miroku a few episodes back so who knows. Part of me also thinks it might be too early to start revealing too much information.

Yeah, I don't get this either. Kagome never cared about messing up history. I think it's a bit redundant to be worrying about it now.

So why are kirin and sesshomaru standing together? Inuyasha just can't catch a break.

Nice we finally got to see how the event of the first episode happened and it was quite amusing. That pirate dude will surely play an important role in the story cause he seemed to have the blue pearl. Also Towa's short fantasy about her and Setsuna was cute.

Seems like Fukuyama-san's character will be the recurring love -or rejected love- from one of our main princesses, which we still don't know why that demon owl call them "princesses".

Did Sesshomaru have a brief adventure with a human queen from the Sengoku era? I don't even think Rin was of Shogun descendance. Also, these episodes seem so short, thank God I am rewatching Inuyasha.

I really have no complaints about the recycled stuff, I am very used to it. Hope the ED changes at full cour, such a good song. Can't wait for more screentime of Kagome and Inuyasha next week.

This Riku seems interesting and we will be probably seeing more of him later.

I am really hyped about next week's preview, maybe we are finally getting some juicy answers to what's going on in general.

As far as we know Rin was just a random girl from a random village. I am guessing Towa and Setsuna are referred to as princesses due to Sesshoumaru's and the Great Dog General's status since the latter was also a super big gun controlling one region and the former is heavily respected.

Pretty exciting episode, even if half of it was just a pure recap. Looks like things are finally starting to get moving with the next episode.

Kinda of a shame that this show's popularity seems to be dropping every week. Especially since the other seasonals I'm watching have a higher response in the forums and those shows aren't sequels to a popular manga/anime like Inuyasha was.

One of my biggest complaints with this series so far has to be its pacing and the overall structure of how events are being taken place.
To me, it feels like it doesn’t have a clear focus at times and just jumps to one thing after another with not much of a payoff. We literally just went in a complete circle back to the first episode. If the sequences of events were placed in different orders, then I could’ve dealt with THIS episode being the first. We would’ve been caught up to speed.
Also, just a nitpick, I’m starting to get really annoyed with how 7 EPISODES in and the show still feels the need to place the names of the characters, especially the main cast. Like we’re idiots or 4 year olds because clearly we can’t remember half of their names.
As for the preview with seeing Inu and Kagome... after that c**k tease in the other episode with Miroku only appearing in a flashback, I’m not holding my breath. That could be a dream sequence or another flashback with Inu and Kagome. We’ll see.

With any luck, we'll get to know what really happened to InuYasha and the others in the next episode. I've been really wondering about that for quite some time now.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Kirinmaru sounds badass!

They should've tried changing history. I think Japan would've been better off if it remained a Shogunate. The Meiji restoration was a double edged sword to Japanese society.

Episode 1 but with context this time.

Inuyasha did the same thing. You see Kikyo shooting Inuyasha to pin him against the tree and then the scene is fleshed out and further explained the more the series goes on.

And Kagome is in the preview. About time the series reveals what has been going on with all the old-school characters.
