InuYasha: The Final Act

So I was looking around for anime and came across a remake of Dragon Ball Z. It seems they are pretty much just touching up the original and making it wide screen. Well, they're technically redrawing each scene, but they are using the original anime as the template. So, it should be identical in terms of plot development. So finding this I decided to look for some fansub releases, I'm such a pie... Well I came across one and what caught my attention then wasn't the Dragon Ball episodes, but new InuYasha episodes. Apparently InuYasha is being continued with the original voice team and original animation studio. Yum!

Episode 1

Yep! That's right. It's is being simulcasted on Hulu. BTW the old episodes are on Hulu as well http://www.hulu.com/inuyasha. It comes out every Sunday, but I haven't found out what time on Sundays.

There were 56 volumes published when InuYasha was finished as a manga, 35 of those volumes were made into 167 episodes of anime. So doing the extrapolation, the remaining 21 volumes would take about 100 episodes, which is about 8 seasons, or 2 years to finish. So assuming they air every season, this will probably finish airing in September of 2011.

*Update* Apparently the videos get published on Saturday night on Hulu. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen the show in couple years or maybe they skipped forward some, but I'm kind of lost on what the hell is going on. I don't remember where these 2 new Naraku incarnations came from. The one with the paper cranes and the one with the spike shell. Meh... Maybe I'll watch the last few episodes again, when I'm not too lazy.
