Thanks to IIFJ.

Ep. 150: Seija wo Michibiku Hushigina Hikari
(Mysterious Light Leading The Saint)

Ep. 151: Kagome Honnou no Sentaku
(Kagome's Instinctive Choice)


All I have to say is, in the words of Agent Smith... "Welcome back, canon. We... missed... you."

Looks like the 147/148 special is going to be an isolated filler incident, then. 149 (A Single Arrow Calling Up Trouble) seems slightly vague--it could be canon, it could be filler. Probably canon, though, considering what comes after it, and considering that the title does seem to be pointing to a particular incident...

Anyway... heehee, it's about time we got up to Hijiri-sama. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the reactions of people who haven't read ahead or been spoiled... there are a fair number of people in that group who are probably going to be pretty disappointed. Personally, though, I'll be thrilled.

Actually, it's more like, "Welcome back, anime! WE MISSED YOU!!!!1" XD

I. Cannot. WAIT. To get to Hijiri-sama!

Squee! Thanks for posting that, Spexxieness! And YES, I'm particularly interested in seeing how a certain group of bashers is going to take this.

Noriko Hidaka is sitting there at the studio right now going, "Hey, boys... didja miss me?!"

Poor Kouga's gonna be out of the loop until at least this fall, though. Rrrrr... I wonder if they're going to make a Kouga filler or three.

::reads Kuro's avatar:: "Before I die, I want to sit in Secchan's fluff"? ^_^* Actually, I'm pretty sure his fluff is referred to as "moko-moko" in Japanese. But, anyway.

Yep, I caught the episode titles on Sunrise's website this morning. Jeez, at this rate, we'll be to the Otherworld battle by June. Maybe it's because the manga is wrapping up, so the anime feels like it can chug on ahead at full steam without worrying about passing it before it finishes.

And this officially shoots down all those rumors that the anime was only running 150 episodes. ^_^

::looks around:: Wha? There's an Inuyasha anime? It's been so long, I hardly remember it! And we've still got another week before it comes back...

there .... is ... a ... 151 episode ._.
NOOO~ !!
I already told my friends that it's only 150 ep

ok then, i lied ..

THANKS FOR THE GREAAAAAAATE NEWS * is disappointed*

Unless I'm wrong, her avatar reads "Before I die, I want to touch Secchan's fluff again."
sawatte, from 'sawaru' (touch/feel), as opposed to 'suwaru'(sit) ^^;

moko-moko. :3

Ah, yes. I read it wrong in multiple ways. Silly me.

Because that line, as written, actually reads something like: "Before I tell him to $&#@ off, I want to touch Secchan's fluff one more time."

I think she meant "kutabaru". ^_^*

Could be. :3

Though I'm more inclined to agree with your initial translation of 'kutabare mae ni' as 'before I die', since I'm getting a reference for 'kutabaru' as a rougher form of 'shinu'. Though I'm also certain it's more commonly used when you're cursing someone else, rather than talking about yourself. (English equivalent, "Go to the devil!" or "Drop dead!" or something like that). Confusing @_@

Been hearing 'kutabare' too much, anyway. Sango always says it before using Hiraikotsu in the RPG XD

"Kutabare mae ni" = "Before I suffer a decidedly unpleasant and most likely painful death (which, did I mention, would really suck?)." <--- Gotta love the nuances behind "kutabare" as opposed to "shine."

Actually, the first part is directly from Kagura's line in chapter 351. "Kutabare mae ni mou ichidou dake... sou omotta dake da." I actualy did try to put moko-moko in there, but the line was to darn long. Rrrrrrr.

XD AND YES! Sango DOES say it all the time before she throws her Hiraikotsu! Personally, though, I get the most kicks out of Miroku's "Shimatta!" when he misses. The first time he said that, Roy turned to me and in a perfect impression, goes, "Shimatta!" So he walked around the entire evening, and when something went wrong, he'd just go, "Shimatta!"


- EDIT - Ah! Gotcha, gotcha. Dude... I must have been thinking "-te" form instead of "command form" with kutabare.

::pokes Kuro-kuro:: Anou... "kutabaru". "Kutabare" is the command form. That's all I was trying to correct. ^_^*

I'm getting farther and farther behind for the IY episodes...I still haven't seen past 138. I don't care if these are filler,special or cannon as long as there new episodes I be content when I eventually see them.

So who want to bet it end at 200 episodes (though at this rate it may not happen).

Roooooooooofl Roy.

I wish I had a boy wandering around my house speaking japanese XD



I....dont. I dont think thats enough....

I would be sad if they ended Inuyasha before the manga's end....
and then just started coming out with OVA's once a year to finish of the manga....which the near dying mangaka wont finish for God knows what reason...

errrr....

nandemonai!

what i mean is i think it will go much farther than that. my estimate is 250eps at this rate with all the fillers
