| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tenseiga is uneasy according to Sesshoumaru's not satisfied with something inside, and that swordweaver guy is going to fix it. Sango cannot decide if she wants to defeat Naraku and let Kohaku die or not. Kagome's in trouble in study, but got heard about Shikon no Tama. Someone attacked Shippo with a leaf, which lead others to a place while Shippo is involved in an exam with partners. After getting up many levels, Shippo is going to participate in the exam and going to defeat Inuyasha. lol, it turns out that the people in the place that the group were also the foxes impersonating women. One youkai appeared and got Kaze no Kizu's youki into her sword. Shippo got tricked several times. The true form is an old youkai. Sesshoumaru's test to use Tenseiga? and he learned a skill with Meidou... Meidou Tanketsuha immediately. |

| the whole fox exam kinda felt like filler D: which i know it couldnt be but it did :/ other than that it was good, and im glad sesshoumaru can finally use tenseiga to fight : D |
| I felt the episode didn't have any flow or rhyme to it. One moment it is about Kagome, then Shippo, then about a sword, then about Sesshoumaru? Felt really out of place. The pace for this episode was really rushed. Which i didn't mind for the fox exam because i thought it was stupid or boring but still it was rushed. The other episodes had a good pace, this not so much. Other than that i hope the next episode will have a better flow of events than this one did. |
  |
| It seems to me that they are rushing through the material way to fast. The pacing is just so radically different from how this show previously was. I'm glad they are animating this material but I don't think that they are doing a very good job of it. |
 |
| Well, there was not much action in this episode. I felt that it was mostly a filler. |
| Damn it's horribly rushed. Total waste of material, what's the point of cramping rest of the series in just 26 episodes. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| The pacing does feel kinda rushed :/ But otherwise this was kinda nice episode, though I do miss the action >.< |
     |
| HAHA. Sango pulled a Miroku on..Miroku. Ass touching :x The episode was good for comic relief. |
 |
| they are rushing it a little bit but it's not all that bad.. let's see how it goes on.. |

The other episodes had a good pace, this not so much. Other than that i hope the next episode will have a better flow of events than this one did. Yeah me too, when I saw the title I was like "Yes! they're animating the Meido Zangetsuha chapter!", but then most of the ep was about Shippo's exam, which felt totally like a filler (I can't remember if it is or not, but I don't remember reading about it in the manga)... and throughout the whole thing I was like, "where's Sesshoumaru and the Meido???" and they spent the last 5 min on it >___> So they spend the least time on the most important part of the ep..... But it's not totally bad I guess, had some good Sango Miroku moments =D good to see Sango pulling Miroku's ass-touching act XD Next ep looks more interesting though, horribly rushed, but yay Dragon-scaled Tetsusaiga!! and I agree it's stupid to try and squish the story into 26 eps... >_> |
 |
| Well, as stated before on the previous episodes, everything are too rushed. I mean, they're condensing like 21 volumes of manga in a mere 26 ep. Of course there wouldn't be any flow to the story... I only wish they make it longer... 26ep is too short...they practically covered one volume in this ep...This ep title is Meidou Zangetsuha, yet Sesshy and co. only appeared in the beginning and the end... Of course, at least they're animating it, so I probably shouldn't complain too much. Recommendation: Read Manga before watching this!!! KayChan4U said: HAHA. Sango pulled a Miroku on..Miroku. Ass touching :x The episode was good for comic relief. Lol well sort of...she was just checking if it was the real Miroku or Shippo-transformed Miroku (who would have a tail...hence ass-groping XD) *still can't get over the fact Kagura's already gone ;_; |
  |
MapleRose said: I can't remember if it is or not, but I don't remember reading about it in the manga it is in the manga the instant i saw miroku talking so serious to sango made me remember what was coming shippo always failed at cloning somone, by forgetting to remove his tail(atleast until this season in wich he made an exact copy of miroku) finally sango starts to show his pervert side to miroku xD meido zangetsu ha thats the spoiler i was talking about! yet... |
| I'm still hoping that this initial rush is only a temporary means to get a bunch of the key plot points out of the way before they can focus on the big showdown versus Naraku. I'm also disappointed in the pacing, but I'm grateful it's at least getting animated. I'm not sure why they limited themselves to only 26 episodes when the show is easily popular enough/draws in enough money to produce at least twice of that. Ah well... |

Anyway, the scenes with Sango were especially cute. I still feel like things end too fast and it's going to hurt to see any of my favorite parts in the manga done in less then 10 seconds. |
 |
| This episode was... yeah, as others said, all over the place. No particular flow or rhythm. Some cute SangoxMiroku moments though, which made me happy. Yes the Shippou part (with the exam) is in the manga, so it's technically not filler... but even when I read it in the manga it seemed like manga filler. I wonder if Takahashi just drew it on a whim. XD She did say she didn't actually "plan" Inuyasha... I did expect more time to be devoted to Meido Zangetsuha, but eh, oh well. Even though so little time was devoted to it, the point has clearly been conveyed: Wewt, Sesshy can use Tenseiga for fighting now too, |
| OMFG~! D< SO MANY STORY LINES WHERE SHOVED INTO ONE THAT IT JUST ANNOYED ME SO HARD~! D< the shippo fox exam wasn't until... like, chapter 500 something and kagura died in like... 300 something near 400... THAT WAS TOO MUCH OF A JUMP~! especially with the whole kagome and the applying to the high school.. i dunno.. i was just overly annoyed with everything that was just too out of place... because after that fox exam, we didn't meet that chick. i dunno. this episode was the first one to royally piss me off because it was just to "OMGTHISCOULDGOHEREANDTHISHEREANDTHEREWEGO~!" =/ SERIOUSLY??????? i JUST finished reading the manga and thus know where it all should go so my rage is very justified. and i'm sorry for ranting on to you guys Dx but it.... D< *deep breath* at least seeing byakuya in the previews for the next episode calmed me a bit =D and huzzah for the dragon scaled tetsusaiga and all the trouble that'll bring =D this episode because of all the mishmash gets a 1/5 from me =/ |

| The new power of Sesshoumaru it's fantastic ;o |

| I gonna go out on a limb and be the unpopular person and say that I liked the last two episodes, episode two better than three admittedly. It felt like this series did slow down, compared to it's opener and Kagura's death had a haunting beauty, although I do agree that they could have made an entire episode around her demise and done a better job of establishing a link to Sesshoumaru, via flashback or something, to make her death have had more of a dramatic impact. I know it's tempting to always compare a series to it's manga, but it should be judged upon it's "adaptation" not whether or not it's word for word, plot for plot right out of manga. As with, as I like to call it, "The Brotherhood fiasco", directors of anime's should have some liberty to create coherent and interesting animated series "biased" on it's literature, like the original FMA did. It's boring and tired to to just animate a series without any creative re-interpretation. As for the, so called filler with the foxes, I call that character development. Sango rubbing Miroku's buttocks ever so gently and then getting agitated when interrupted had me laughing uncontrollably. I'm actually looking forward to the rest of this series now. |
| Loved it ^__^ |
 |
| Felt way too rushed from the beginning, things just kept moving on...One minute Kagome's studying and the next thing you know they're in the middle of a fox exam...I hope things slow down a little... |
| Mmm... I like this episode. I laugh in some scenes and the end is so touchable. The wind... When did Inuyasha old anime happen this? And join parts which were separated by 100 manga episodes... amazing. And... It comes the BEST part of Inuyasha manga. You know it. THE BEST. I hope that animation and soundtrack are better than Kagura's death. It was well... but this part MUST BE THE BEST. Now rush for future peace. You understanding me. or not? I hope so much. See ya. |
| I hated this ep and would have given it a 2 but I give it a five just because of sexiness of Lord Sesshoumaru XD He can make an ep because great, I just wish that there was more detail D: |

| There is someone (doblefilo) who understood me. Thks. xD and important: If you DIDN'T read Inuyasha manga, DON'T read doblefilo's spoiler. It's a real NO. |
| Really, can't they slow down a little? >.< it's all way too rushed, it's a pity I just hope that this anime will get better because the manga is awesome <3 |
 |
| Liked the part where Sango was rubbing Miroku's part. xD It's cool Tenseiga got a new ability. |
 |
| I felt as if I'd watched this on fast forward. |
 |
| Well... I think this episode sounded like a Filler for... It was really annoying and in wrong place =/ I liked Seshoumaru's part, but, the rest of Shippou's exam ? X_x I think it wasn't cool ;/ But, in front of all this, i think the series is getting cool, a very good animation too ^^ I haven't read the manga, so i don't know if they have a lot of story to put in a feel episodes, or something... I have a LITTLE impresion that the story is getting to... fast.. or am i jus' crazy ? ;/ |
  |
| Cool episode. |
 |
| love the episode it ws so funnt! |
| I like this episode.. fun to watch. |
| I can't believe they have time to waste on that chapter. |
| well at least no one died this time...but Tenseiga as a weapon...so cool |
 RtheO |
| wow sesshoumaru is getting stronger, he has to help to destroy narakuuuuuu. hehe a funny episode with the foxes XD. i want to see more mirokuxsango!!! |
 |
| Shippo was annoying in this episode. Master Jakken is annoying no matter what episode he's in. |
 |
| GOD Shippo is annoying. And stupid. *stab* doblefilo said: YESSSSSSSSS SHE MUST D:< AND STAY DEAD TOO JEEZ E__E |

| is there gonna be a natural speed for this series or every single one of those 26 episodes is gonna be in a rush ? The reason why Inuyasha is so good is because it took time to presents the characters and the story in a natural flow, now they are just forcing things. So far I'm rating this a maximum of 8/10, I hope it get better :/ |
 |
| I'm curious about the story of the end of Shikon no Tama. |
 |
| Best character gets an upgrade. |
| It was funny when InuYasha sliced that demons sword like it was paper. xD I love Sesshomaru <3 |
| Wow. With 26 episodes only, they cram in the filler-esque stuff too? This ENTIRE episode (except Sessy's part) could have been cut and the material in episode 1 & 2 expanded because they skipped some stuff too. Haven't read the manga, basing it on directly coming over from the original. I would have much prefered more screentime for Kagura and actual plot that's relevant to defeating Naraku. C'mon, don't stick plot fillers in 26 episodes. What a waste of time. =__= |
| I'm not sure I understand how Tenseiga work now. It look like it work as a Kazaana, but not really at the same time. In fact, it's like the sword does its effect a bit after the sword was swung. Which can be good or bad. Shippo is so silly. The trap was so obvious, you could see it coming miles away. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| and they said this series is short it won't have fillers I'm not sure if this was a filler but it was relaxed more than the last two episodes it was better |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
