Though whether he actually gives two shits about her outside of her debt to him I’m not entirely sure. Given how he's working with Riku, he seems really sketchy to me.

starbucks hermit posted:Part of me says that it's like the case with Faye Valentine in Cowboy Bebop, where you are saddled with an incredible debt from childhood that can never be paid off, due to a decision that you likely had no choice in making. If that's the case, then Moroha (once she's older and wiser) could renegotiate the terms to keep the obligation in good faith or ignore the debt entirely. Other pro demon hunters have shown the best way to deal with childhood debt is to murder everyone responsible for it. Moroha's even part dog demon, so she's got the qualifications.

Not a bad filler episode this week. I forget, is the Venom Serpent/Drifting Pond another holdover from the Inuyasha manga or was it something original to this series? Next Week: Towa experiences one of Inuyasha’s common problems (and by the same logic Setsuna and Moroha should go through this at some point as well).

Setsuna's ice cold, leaving her sister hanging like that. I hope this gets another season because the main characters are fun enough that while I want the plot to progress, the filler eps are still enjoyable.

She almost went for it though which is a sign that she’s at least starting to warm up to her a bit (and she did recover some flashes of memory last week). The mere fact that they’re even doing filler in a 24 episode show makes me think this is getting another season (if not more), unless they really start cranking the plot out fast in the next few episodes that is. Though that said, even if they do somehow wrap this up in time they could always still start another story arc or something. Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Dec 12, 2020 |

I just want an episode where they're just hanging out in the present and Moroha gets to eat delicious crepes. If plain pancakes blew her mind like that, could you even imagine how she would react if they went to a cafe? Sure put some demon stuff or something in there like during the school festival in the original I guess. It'd be funny if it turns out that Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru are just tired of all this demon bullshit and want to flip the table and be done with it. Kirinmaru is now an English teacher at a private school and Sesshomaru runs, I dunno, a pension in the countryside or something.

She does seem to get the hang of things pretty quickly (like credit cards and iPods) so yeah, give us more Moroha antics in the present day (even if it’s just a flashback to the few days she and Setsuna spent there). Hell, you could even split things up (that is, deal with the whole Dream Butterfly issue this time around and then make season 2 the Moroha Show). On another note, since Miroku will finally be making his proper return in a few episodes I kind of hope we find out what happened to Sango as well (and possibly Shippo, Inuyasha and Kagome while we’re at it).

I'm still waiting for the twist that Sesshoumaru is still alive in the modern era. He's effectively ageless, after all. That would be an interesting plot to have some Sengoku youkai ( ) show up in the present.

See my spoiler. I'm still trying to figure out what job would be the best fit should that end up being the case, as well as what would be the most entertaining. The answer to both would be math teacher who is also a sports club advisor at the same school Kirinmaru teaches at.

Rudoku posted:So she just Steve Urkel'd herself into the writers' hearts? Well we know who's gonna run a later season if they get another one. I'm not even sure why they wouldn't make the child of the previous main characters an important character, even if she isn't the main focus and they wanted a different type of protagonist for the sequel. At this point I'm frustrated, because in episodes 2 and 5, Moroha looked to be a pretty kick rear end fighter despite being a 1/4 demon, and it helped to continue a major theme of the original anime/manga, that just because you have less/more demon or human blood doesn't make you inferior to either (Inuyasha beating that dragon yokai that killed his dad, Shirori being able to adjust her barrier despite her Yokai grandfather being unable to do so himself). It should have continued with her still being able to keep up and match with Towa and Setsuna IMO. Instead, Moroha is treated like a joke, and the show treats Towa and Setsuna like they're the most amazing people on the planet because their father is a daiyokai.

I think it's more of avoiding the Miroku solution. We have a character that is generally known to be incredibly powerful, and we can't have this lovable gremlin solve every issue or else there is no tension. But the writing is better (as in - lower immunity to poison, knocking away her rouge, having her conveniently absent, etc) than just bringing out the poisonous bees. Also, as the audience stand-in (or whatnot), Towa will likely get top billing among the three, and she has only one priority - getting her sister to dream again. I think Moroha will only be written in if the plot allows it. But I hope she's included a lot more, since she's my favorite character as well.

Willo567 posted:The difference is that unlike Miroku, Moroha's powers aren't game breaking She has about a minute of pretty limitless power. And even without that, she can use purifying arrows. So maybe not 100% gamebreaking but she has held her own for quite a long time. So, this is a bit of a difference of interpretation. I think her demon percentage bloodline doesn't factor into how other people view her or her actual power (beyond speculation) or her prevalence in the plot. I think her involvement in any episode is primarily linked to how it can be relevant to Towa's story. And I agree that the current writing leaves Moroha's character development shortchanged. I can certainly be wrong, but it's how I see it for now.

Speaking of which, I’m kind of curious how she learned all that stuff considering she was sent away as an infant. I like that Moroha is absolutely her father’s daughter but has just enough Kagome in her to keep her somewhat grounded.

I was also excited for the show because from the promotional video, I thought that Hisui and Kohaku would also play a good role in it, but so far, all they've done is tell Towa and Setsuna about the MOTW. I know that Hisui will be playing a large role in next week's episode, but it's really weird that the show decided to wait 13 episodes for him to do anything. poo poo, we've seen more of Takechiyo than Hisui, the child of two major characters in the previous series. I was kinda also hoping we'd see an adult Shippo, and see how he's changed within the 15 year time skip

Not a bad episode this week, seems like since her dad was already a half demon Moroha doesn’t have enough demon blood in her to be affected by the new moon and thanks to the Dream Butterfly Setsuna also seems immune (which seems convenient but ok), Towa seemed a little OP after regaining her powers though Next time: Miroku finally returns, and more importantly so does Sango Larryb fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Dec 19, 2020 |

Not a bad episode and it was nice to finally see Miroku and Sango again (even if the latter only appeared in two scenes), sucks that the other twin sister is likely dead though. Also it seems like while she can’t become human Setsuna can apparently become a full demon at times like Inuyasha occasionally did. It also sucks that Moroha barely appeared this time around. Next time the plot returns with a vengeance as we learn why Towa and Setsuna were separated in the first place. Will there be an episode next week or is this show on break for New Year’s as well?

It's going to be on break for a week. I hope Moroha will appear in it more, and that they start to do stuff with her soon. It feels like a waste, just because she's so fun, and the mystery of what the gently caress happened to her parents is a lot more intriguing than this butterfly stuff

Next episode description came out, and holy poo poo, it's a big one Riku talks… about what exactly happened to Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha’s parents, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kagome. It began 18 years ago, on the day the second generation Housenki came to deliver the black pearl to Inuyasha. 4 years later, sisters Towa and Setsuna were born. However, when Sesshomaru takes the twins away, he seals them within a barrier and hides them. That’s because there was someone who was after the twins life. The name of the one who despises half-demons is Kokoro (??), Kirinmaru’s older sister. It was prophesized that the one who would defeat Kirinmaru was an existence that was neither human nor demon. Cast List Inuyasha: Yamaguchi Kappei Kagome: Yukino Satsuki Sesshomaru: Narita Ken Jaken: Cho Rin: Noto Mamiko Kirinmaru: Hosoya Yoshimasa Riku: Fukuyama Jun Housenki: Saitou Shirou Kokoro (??): Sakamoto Maaya Jyoka: Kojima Sachiko Sango: Kuwashima Houko Kaede: Kyouda Hisako Kin’u: Gomazuru Aya Gyokuto: Ueda Hitomi Rikichi: Saizen Tadahisa Higurashi Towa: Matsumoto Sara Setsuna: Komatsu Mikako Homura: Gotou Kousuke Please let them air this before the rest of the episodes get delayed

Japan on Thursday declared a State of Emergency for Tokyo and a few other prefectures. The last time this happened, a bunch of series like Boruto got put on hold for a few months. My guess is that since they updated the schedule next week with this episode, they're still planning to air it. Anything goes after that. Also, an anime magazine came out with some more episode titles, 16: The Sword of Moroha 17: The Trap of the Two Demons 18: Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru The most hosed up thing is that apparently, according to the description for 16, Moroha herself isn't in debt; her teacher is, and sold her to the corpse dealers. She's a literal slave. Makes that scene in 8 where Towa plans on stealing her bounty even more hosed up now

The SOE was in April of 2020, and lasted until around the end of May. They had a spike in cases during the Summer, but they were able to get the cases down without another SOE. It's different this time due to the fact that the weather is colder, meaning that more people are likely indoors together without great ventilation, which allows the virus to spread. That's probably the reason for the surge we're seeing now. Also, there's no word yet on a replacement. To be honest, I really don't follow dubs.
