It was a good episode, but a horible series finale!

3.5

By Toritona, Jul 14, 2008

I personaly love Inuyasha. Its a long series but nicely done, but why did they have to just leave us with an empty feeling. I mean they could've added a little more to make a real ending. If your just looking at the show you don't know whats gonna happen. Are they gonna catch Naraku, is Miroku gonna die? I mean its nerve wracking!!!! This would be a good episode, but is one off the most if not THE WORST season finale I have ever seen, and thats realy an under statement. After making us wait all this time they couldve done more!moreless

Epic conclusion FAIL. I've seen every episode, and I couldn't possibly feel more betrayed.

That's it?????? I want to burn things. I'm feeling evil after watching this episode. I want to tear apart small villages all over the ancient Japanese countryside.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED. It wasn't even one of the better episodes. There are way too many loose ends still dangling from the frayed break in the rope that is the end of this show. They didn't even bother to kill off Kagura, even though they implied they were going to the entire episode.

The writers completely punked out. I know the manga hasn't finished yet, but Rumiko Takahashi owes me many hours of my life back if this anime does not get wrapped up. I can't help but feel like there is another episode coming. I can't seem to convince myself that they could have ended the series that way. It wasn't as much of an resolution as it was an execution.

This episode is not worthy of a review. Everyone with great expectations hoping that all of their hopes will be fulfilled, that Naraku will be slain, that Inuyasha will finally be with Kagome/Kiyko (whichever you prefer), that Maroku and Sango will be wed, Kohaku will live, or if you are expecting a conclusion of any form or fashion then turn back now. Abandon those foolish dreams and forget you ever watched a single episode of this show.

Sunrise Animation had expressed interest in finishing the series through OVAs once the manga series ended, but there are no set plans to continue InuYasha at this time. They better do something.

I feel like someone just played a very dirty trick on me.moreless

You shouldn't be so dissapointed about this series finale, they had to end it...all the japaniese people werent watching it much anymore because of filler episodes. they weren't just gonna wrap the whole thing up in one episode because they couldn't and that would be dumb. It was a bummer that the show had to end and we will all it horribly much and mabey one day they will make new episodes. the end was not dumb it was just how they had to do it, there was nothing else for them to do. I will forever miss this show!!! please please make more episodes!moreless

Dumb

2.3

By Sango-Slayer, Jun 02, 2008

This was one of the worst episodes of the entire series. The group goes off to confront Naraku after Kagura betrays him. The group eventuallly comes to a demon made of stone and enter inside of it. After a while, they confront Naraku, and they engage in a short battle in which Naraku escapes. The demon comes to life, and the group is trapped inside with nowhere to go! This episode made wathing all the other ones worthless. The conclusion has a lot of cliffhangers left open for the viewer to decide what happens. A very bad epiosde, a 2/10moreless

- Rin: That lady didn't seem like she was trying to trick us or anything, this time. I'll bet she's secretly in love with Lord Sesshomaru.
  Jaken: Huh?

  Jaken: This kid is so simple-minded.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kikyo: Nothing's stopping me. I will put an end to Naraku's life. That's what this means.
  (Kikyo pulls an arrow, ready to fire)
  Kanna: You are mistaken. You cannot do it.
  EDIT SHARE
- Myoga: If I know Master Inuyasha, he's probably upset because he couldn't overcome the demonic aura of the sacred jewel shard.
  Shippo: Makes sense to me. I can't believe his demonic nature got the best of him. Inuyasha still has a ways to go.
  Myoga: Exactly.
  (Inuyasha punches them both)
