From what I understand Inuyasha's manga ends pretty much like the anime ends, just further into the future. By that I mean there is no closure to the story after all the time spent having stuff happen. The stuff happening may be cool but knowing that it's just going to go on and on and then not even wrap things up makes me wary of wasting time on it again.
They'll probably just make some ending up when they get there ;P

I'm actually surprised I haven't even watched this series yet aside from the few episodes I'd see on cartoon network. Also because I like these kinds of setting.
Guess I'll start.
Actually Inuyasha's manga did provide closure. Some say it didn't purely because they hadn't kept up with the manga completely. Through the course of the manga many side character roles finished long before the ending which led to a feeling of incompleteness for those who had missed these key points. Personally I was fine with it. The end did seem a little rushed but all in all good. Spoilers removed.Originally Posted by Yukimura

WHAT I never thought I'd see the day that's for sure. I remember being pissed at the Inuyasha ending and being reassured by crazy Inuyasha fans who thought they were half wolf telling me that a continuation of the anime would surely come soon...
Several years later they.. are proven right?!

I was wondering if I was the only one not excited about this news.
I've read the manga in its entirety and Inuyasha is a perfect example of a manga that just went on for too long. By the end it seems like the mangaka just ran out of ideas so she decided to end the series which she honestly could have and should have done years earlier. There is an attempt at closure but that is all it is an attempt. It takes far too long to happen and then happens all too suddenly, not to mention that it lacks any sense of originality. Closure is supposed to be a satisfying conclusion to the story and Inuyasha's ending is anything but satisfying.
Inuyasha is just one of those series that you absolutely have to be a fan of in order to be able to enjoy it, and if you're not a fan then it becomes intolerable. So as far as this new anime goes, if you liked the original and you like the characters then you'll enjoy it because it will just be more of the same. If you thought the anime was redundant and just kept going on and on without making any progress as far as the plot is concerned, then you should avoid this new series because it only gets worse.

Sapphire is awesome!
Wow... this is awesome news !
I had mixed feelings about FMA being redone but I'm really enjoying it. Seeing how Inuyasha didn't really conclude... this is just great news.
So... is it just going to pick up mid-story....?
All I have to say is, they better kill Naraku or this series can die forever and never be remembered. I hate anime where they bad guy never dies. He should not have been alive for this long.

So will anyone end up picking this up? or just leave it to hulu?
Who knows... I watched some rip and while the show didn't look as interesting as years ago when I had only watched a few anime shows before it, it was still interesting because now I could recognize lots of voice actors. Actually I was paying mainly attention to them, not whatever story there was going on.

I watched this version and thought it was pretty good. The subtitle font is kind of big, though.

I liked the font on this one better.

Question, will there be any group doing HD releases of this?

There was more plot advancement in this one episode than half the series. If there wasn't, I just couldn't stomach watching it anymore.

Awesome !
I thought this wasn't going to be out until 2010 ^^
Downloading now.
episode 2 !?
I just got done watching and I'm a little confused. It's been a while since I finished inuyasha... at least 2 years. I thought they were doing the same thing as FMA. I'm going to have to re-watch the last 30-40 eps of inuyasha to refresh.
Are any of the charactors they had new? Because I didn't recognize Goryomaru.
He was in the last few episodes as the man seeing after all the orphans, he had a few exchanges with Kikyo.

My memory is kind of foggy. So when the baby was split into two, one become Hakudoshi, and the other Goryomaru?
Nah, Goryomaru was a monk.
When Akago (Baby) was split in half, one half was taken by Kagura and the other half by Kanna. The half with Kagura grew up and became Hakudoshi and the half with Kanna stayed a baby.
