Viz at least gave subtitled version of the series on Hulu, so I give them props for that since it's taking so long for the dub and DVD released to come out. |

Yay! It's nostalgia! I am so happy it's finally being released on dvd (three years later and what looks like in two parts but oh well). While I am sad Moneca Stori didn't return and even more sad about David Kaye, I think they chose a good replacement for her, deeper but good. Although I already remember the clip with Moneca's voice and not Kira's
 .
I have to wonder though if one of the reason's that this got delayed for so long was because of Neon Alley. I think it was last year that Viz annouced that Inuyasha: The Final Act would be released finally at some point in 2011 but then never spoke of it again (don't quote me on this I just remember being very disappointed when fall and winter came and went with no release date.) Then they annouce Neon Alley this year and with it came finally the english dub of Inuyasha: The Final Act, which isn't getting it's dvd release until after it premeires in October. But then again I am a conspiracy theorist at heart so it's probably just Viz being late as hell as usual  .

Actually I thought Maxey did a great job as Al rather she was supposed to sound like Aaron or not. At first all I could do was compare Maxey to Aaron, but after a few episodes I started to appreciate her not as a Aaron voice duplicate, but as Alfonse Elric. I don't even think about Aaron not voicing Al in Brotherhood anymore. That's how good I think she is. |

At first, as soon as I heard her voice, I was all "Woah! Spot on!" But she spoke on for a bit and I waned a little. It'll just take some getting used to. I was never a fan of the origina's acting (in part because of the character...) - so I didn't mind the change.
David Kaye, of course, had such a mastery of subtlety and elegance that it will make replacing his nuances with another actor difficult. But a couple people come to mind who have similar abilities. And Maxey's Al was good. Sure, the ear will note they aren't the same person, but that doesn't kill the performance unless you dwell on it. |

I really couldn't tell a difference between the original dub's Kagome and the new dub's Kagome. I like that a lot.
Hopefully they place this on Adult Swim/Toonami eventually, since I'd love to watch this at last, but I don't and likely won't have access to Neon Alley. XP |

She initially quit her roles in Dragon Ball Z and Inuyasha because of her wedding conflict, but she did do a little voice acting for a while in Los Angeles in shows like Naruto (before being replaced with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn after only one episode) and Zatch Bell. She hasn't really been heard from since. |

I liked Inuyasha back when it first started airing here in the US. But... well, I could only stand so many escapes from the Big Bad, and the love triangle thing, too. It just... kept... dragging... on. If the plot had moved at something a little faster than a glacier, I'd probably feel a lot different about it. I might still watch the Final Act, but... well, it's pretty low on my list of Things To Do now.

Really looking forward to picking this up on Blu-ray in November (like hell I'm actually gonna subscribe to Neon Alley).
This is one of my favorite shows, so I do have high expectations, but I personally thought Kira did quite a good job matching Stori's voice...for the most part. It's true, she sounds a little older, but if you guys were all just expecting her to sound the same as the original you must be crazy. There are bound to be minor differences here and there, but give it a few eps. and I'm sure the new voice will start to seem perfectly natural. I really didn't consider any of the other cast members' voices to sound different from their previous renditions. Cox and Morrow sound the exact same to me. And even if one of the cast members takes a bit longer to find that old character voice of theirs again, I doubt it will take them long to get back into the groove of things. They did do 167 eps of this show plus 4 movies after all. For these guys I'm sure it's just like riding a bike at this point. |

Can't believe it has already been more than 6 years since the Viz Inuyasha wrap-up party.
Recall that Moneca Stori was a controversial pick at the start of Inuyasha too, because she hardly did anime voice-acting besides the childish Hamtaro show. BTW, here's how Kira Tozer sounds on stage. |

I'm really looking forward to watching Final Act dubbed, I almost gave in and watched it subtitled years ago back in 2009, but I managed to stop myself.
Cartoon Network =/= Adult Swim, they just happen to share the same TV Channel. |

I wonder why Sesshomaru's VA didn't return.
I found out Moneca Stori moved to LA or something so that's why she is not returning. I wonder what she's up to now... It's nice to see Kirby Morrow back. I missed him. He is so flawless. Poor Janyse...it's gonna be so depressing. Just two episodes... |

No Monica Stori or David Kaye? That is really depressing. I wasn't excited for the dub for the final act really but there will be Scott Mcneil right? Someone please tell me we get Scott Mcneil as Koga?
