Anime Information:
Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen to air on Japan's YTV this fall

This year's 34th issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine will announce next Wednesday that an Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen (Inuyasha Final Chapter) television adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's manga has been green-lit. The anime will broadcast on Japan's YTV this fall and cover the story in volumes 36 to 56 of the manga — the final 21 compiled book volumes. The original staff and cast will reunite for the new anime adaptation.

Shonen Sunday had promised earlier this month that it will be including a special news announcement about Inuyasha in issue #34. Takahashi had ended the Inuyasha manga in the same magazine last June. She has been serializing a new manga called RIN-NE (Kyōkai no Rinne) in the magazine as well as on TheRumicWorld.com website for North America readers since April 22. Viz Media has been releasing the Inuyasha manga in North America, and it has also released the original 2000-2004 television anime adaptation.

Basically according to Weekly Shounen Sunday vol.34, a new season of Inu Yasha was announced to be aired from this autumn. It's the final chapter of the series titled "Inu Yasha Kanketsu-hen" and the original staff and cast will animate the manga volumes 36 - 56.

Viz Adds Inuyasha the Final Act, Kekkaishi Anime
The North American anime distributor Viz Media has announced at its second Saturday panel at Comic-Con International that it has acquired the upcoming Inuyasha: The Final Act (Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen) anime series and the Kekkaishi anime series. Inuyasha: The Final Act continues beyond where the first anime series ended and adapts the story from the final 21 compiled book volumes of Rumiko Takahashi's original manga. It will premiere in Japan this fall. The panelists screened a trailer from the 2006-2008 anime adaptation of Yellow Tanabe's Kekkaishi supernatural action manga. Viz will release the first print volume of Takahashi's RIN-NE manga in October, after having already posted the manga online.

Synopsis:
Higurashi Kagome, after being pulled down a well by a demon, finds herself in Feudal Japan, where she learns that a powerful jewel has been reborn inside her body. After the jewel shatters in an attempt to retrieve it from one of the many demons who was after its power, Kagome must join forces with the half-demon Inu Yasha (also after the jewel's power) to track down the shards of the jewel before its power falls into the wrong hands.

This has been known for a while but I just larned it and didn't see a thread here so...yeah.

I just hope that, when the anime is eventually dubbed, that they get the original English voices back.

So they're finally adapting the rest of the Inuyasha manga series into an anime? About friggin time.

Thank you. even thought i grew tired of the manga. Biut the anime pissed me off how it just stopped. Now if they can only do the same for D grayman

Same here. "Let's get Naraku guys" THE END. That's gotta be the biggest WTF moment in anime history for me.

Haha so true! I'm glad that it least they have no room for fillers but if you've read the manga it does seemed rushed... but i gues it has to be in order to fit 100 or more chapters into 26 episodes.

Manga's always rushed compared to the anime adaptions of a series in my personal experience. Sometimes it's good, other times it's not as enjoyable. Because of how many useless fillers Inuyasha's gotten though, I don't mind it being rushed at all now.
