And finally, the end is here...

Words can't describe... Having watched the final episode of INUYASHA: KANKETSU-HEN, my heart wept the tears of joy. Simply love the final episode and how everything is finally resolved. Kagome had made her choice to be with her soul mate Inuyasha and she left her family in the present world. Because of that, I finally understood the sentiment of KIMI GA INAI MIRAI (the OP theme). I adore the song and certainly love the ending. It resonates the final episode and complement the whole mood. Love conquers all! Kanpeki!

You don’t have a future,

There is no meaning for a future because I can’t speak with you again,

You wished for the world, a world in which you have not seen

We were far beyond space and time

The 'doki doki' moment here.... Their love transcends time and space.

Kagome, three years later, during her high school graduation ceremony.

Waiting for his love... 私はそんなに逃す...

A family, at last...

Fate has brought them together, love strengthens their bond...

The funniest part in this episode is when Kagome called Sesshomaru 'Oni-san'. His expression was priceless!

Overall, I really enjoyed the whole Inuyasha serialization since the very first episode. Anyway, I am quite bugged by the way Naraku is vanquished. I feel it is rather sudden and easy. Actually I expected another 5 or 6 more episodes to go. But, putting that matter aside, I still believe Inuyasha is the best anime series, to date! It's definitely a must-watch anime series.

Naraku's Heart : A Review

Plot

I am so glad I managed to watch the first episode of INUYASHA: The Final Act entitled Naraku’s Heart. In this episode we witness the plot to overthrow Naraku, masterminded by Hakudoshi. He managed to persuade Goryomaru and Kagura to follow suit.

However, in the middle of the plot, Kagura’s humane side was surfaced when she protected Kohaku from being attacked by Goryomaru and Hakudoshi. Then, as she was almost defeated, Inuyasha and the rest of the team saved her from being slaughtered by Hakudoshi.

Unbeknown to Hakudoshi, his plot was acknowledged by Naraku with the help of Kanna and her mirror. Hakudoshi was a defeated when Miroku used his Kazaana (wind tunnel) to suck him. Lucky for Miroku, Naraku’s siamyosho did not interfere this time around.



My two-cent
What I like about this first episode is the fact that all characters - Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Sesshomaru, Kagura, Kohaku.... and the list goes on - are given enough screen-time for the fans (and non-fans) to refresh their memories. Another reason why I enjoyed this episode is, even though this is the first episode of the series, the momentum is sustained. I really enjoy the action-packed scenes and the fighting sequence. I miss ‘KAZE NO KIZU!’ so much that when Inuyasha did it, I almost yelped in excitement! Woohoooo!!!!

Be still, my heart...

As I was jumping from one channel to another since nothing good was on TV that night, I finally landed on ANIMAX. Hoping to catch something decent enough to watch. It was in vain. Suddenly my eyes caught on something intriguing. It was an advertisement. It read:

Inu = Dog
Yasha = Demon

Coming soon!
On ANIMAX.

My heart sang ever so gaily! In relation to that, I googled on the net on the latest news of INUYASHA. I found this and my heart sang once again. Oh, be still my heart...
