Inheriting the story from the original anime (Inuyasha), this story continues on the path of where it left off. At first, i felt the story might have been rushed, this is because of the slow pace of the first anime. However, after the third episode, I realized this was the best. The old anime took it's time and added a lot of unnecessary fillers, which made the show less appealing to most. However, a young kid I loved it, saw the charm in it. I watched every single episode, now at the age of 17, I re-watched it and went on to the one we have now. Inuyasha final act improves on what the original struggled with and has became a masterpiece! I couldn't be more satisfied with the it.
Art:
Also inheriting the amazing art from it's predecessor, Inuyasha final act has some of the best art of any anime, and it has improved it's graphics from it's ancestor as well. All the demons, half demons, humans, souls, trees, and background is amazing. You can tell they were all done well.
Sound:
In the first one, the sound was a little fuzzy! But this one has improved, I think it's because of the change of technology over time.
Characters:
Inuyasha final act (and inuyasha) has some of the best characters I have ever seen in a anime. However, since it sacrificed it's slower pace for a much more story driven plot, it doesn't really give the new characters time to develop. No one really knows much about the new characters. This is a fetal flaw, but one that might have been necessary for quickly ending on a satisfying note.
Enjoyment:
A 10 without a doubt! Like I said before, it did confuse me at first, but that was only because i was use to the older style, where the story was painfully slow at times. However, I feel that it was necessary to speed it up and get to the main plot points. There are twenty episodes, which all add things to the story that would have been dragged out and covered in fillers, if it had been the same pace as the first.
Overall:
The only problem I had with it, was the character development. And because there was characters introduced that i really wanted to know more about (Sesshomaru's Mother{No name?}, Byakuya, Mouryoumaru, Magatsuhi), i don't feel right with giving it a perfect score. It is a legendary anime and a damn good one...but...I need to give a 9 or I would feel like my attachment to the series got the better of me.
