OH WHY MUST SUNRISE GO INBETWEEN BASTARDIZING INUYASHA AND IMPROVING IT
Just got the end of the arc in the anime where the Inu-gang confronts Kagura Kanna and Naraku and HOLY SHIT THEY MADE IT BETTER. Not infinitely better, they still did that thing where they over-explain things that don't even need to be explained, then leave out parts that give really cool implications (Naraku DOESN'T question why Kikyo gave him the shards? But we need about six lines between Kagome and Miroku saying "oh hey naraku's here." bruh.) But I'm mainly talking about the part with Koharu. In the manga, it was kinda just an interesting little tid-bit that wasn't really touched on other than to characterize Miroku and give some extra tension to the fights, but they made it 100% better in the anime by GIVING MIROKU A DAMN SPEECH. It wasn't long, or particularly dramatic, just a really simple, really in character, really damn good speech about "Life is difficult, and we can't stop that. The challenge comes from being strong in life." AND HOLY FUCK MAN WHY CAN'T YOU DO THIS MORE OFTEN??? Then at the end, those scenes just hanging on the crew in recovery from NEARLY DYING??? OMFG DO THIS MORE PLEASE, YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO GOOD, JUST DO GOOD PLEASE.
