The episodes of the Japanese anime series are based on the last twenty-one volumes of the manga series of the same title by Rumiko Takahashi, continuing where the first adaptation left off. The series follows the half dog-demon, half human named Inuyasha, the fifteen-year-old junior high school student Kagome Higurashi and their close companions Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kirara as they search for the final fragments of the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls and approach their final battle with Naraku. Viz Media licensed the series as ''InuYasha: The Final Act''. It was released in Animax Asia and Animax India. The original staff and cast from the first ''Inuyasha'' anime adaptation were brought back together for the new series. The series premiered on Yomiuri TV on October 3, 2009 where it ran for twenty-six episodes, concluding on March 29, 2010. Viz Media licensed the new adaptation before it premiered and aired its English subtitled version online through Hulu, releasing episodes within a day of their original Japanese air dates. As of April 14, 2013, the entire series remains available for free on Hulu in the United States.〔 As of episode 14, the English episode aired first.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Viz Adds Inuyasha Final Act, Kekkaishi Anime )〕 Animax Asia aired the series with their own English subtitles, on its television stations and its online video service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inuyasha The Final Act )〕 Voice actress Kelly Sheridan was the first to announce through her Facebook fan page on May 11, 2010 that work on the English dub for ''The Final Act'' had begun.〔http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-05-14/voice-actress-confirms-dub-for-inuyasha/the-final-act〕 However, many of the cast were laid off: Moneca Stori was replaced from her role of Kagome Higurashi by Kira Tozer, David Kaye was replaced as Sesshomaru by Michael Daingerfield (though this could possibly be explained by his evergrowing work in LA since 2007), Pam Hyatt was replaced as Kaede by Linda Barlow, and Danny McKinnon was replaced as Kohaku by Aidan Drummond (which, ironically, Danny had originally taken over from Alex Doduk). Kirby Morrow, the voice of Miroku said on VoicePrint with Trevor Devall and guests that Michael Daingerfield was able to mimic David Kaye near perfectly.〔http://trevordevall.com/?p=70〕 On December 17, 2010, Paul Dobson announced on a podcast episode of VoicePrint with Trevor Devall and guests that he would be going back to the Ocean Group studio for his final recording session of ''Inuyasha: The Final Act'' on December 23, 2010.〔http://trevordevall.com/?p=73〕 Viz Media released ''Inuyasha: The Final Act'' set 1 on Blu-ray and DVD on November 20, 2012 and set 2 was released February 12.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=InuYasha: The Final Act, Set One () (2012) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=InuYasha: The Final Act, Set Two () (2013) )〕 The English dub, ''Inuysha: The Final Act'', began broadcasting in the United States and Canada on Viz Media's online network, Neon Alley, on October 2, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Neon Alley Streams of English Dubs to Debut on October 2 )〕 On October 24, 2014, Adult Swim announced that ''Inuyasha: The Final Act'' would air on the Toonami programming block beginning Saturday, November 15, 2014.〔http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-10-24/inuyasha-the-final-act-to-run-on-toonami/.80305〕 Previously, on March 1, 2014, Adult Swim announced they lost the broadcast rights to the original ''Inuyasha'' series.〔http://toonami.tumblr.com/post/78265047865/we-are-losing-the-rights-to-inuyasha-but-we-have〕〔http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-01/adult-swim-toonami-loses-rights-to-run-inuyasha〕 Four pieces of theme music were used, one opening and three endings.
