Fans of InuYasha are getting ready to make a big upgrade with this series as its previous run as single DVD releases that were an average of three episodes per disc really drew it out and made it expensive, so this’ll be a deal no matter what.
With the first set with a July 14th, 2020 debut where it’ll have the first 27 episodes of the series, Viz Media has now scheduled the second set. It’s planned for an August 11th, 2020 debut and includes the clean opening and closing along with an interview with the Japanese music composer, the excellent Kaoru Wada. The set will be priced at $39.99 and will be spread across four discs in 1080p in its original full-frame aspect ratio. This set will have episodes 28 through 55.
We do want to put a caveat out there that may be a sticking point for some until we actually get our hands on the release or some other confirmation. As Zhou mentions here, the Spanish Blu-ray releases (which were upscaled) were missing some of the opening theme songs as the rights were unavailable. This is likely to be the case with Viz’s release as well as I believe the same issue cropped up with the streaming side of the series.
Plot concept: Together with their friends Miroku, Shippo, Sango and Kirara, Inuyasha and Kagome continue their search for the shards of the Sacred Jewel. Their task, however, is not made any easier by Naraku, who continually seems to be inventing newer and more dangerous ways to thwart them.
