Mark your calendars, anime geeks.

A quick reminder for disorganized Rumiko Takahashi fans: Inuyasha: the Final Act will begin airing in Japan on October 3rd.

People who watched the original TV series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim or have been catching up on the episodes via Hulu (like me) might not realize that the anime, despite being a zillion seasons long, ended well before the manga. This new series will cover the story featured in volumes 36 through 56 of the manga, and will feature the same production staff and voice cast.
