| Halloween Fan Art Contest, Daa^3 Image Gallery Servicing Update Hello, all my favorite inuyasha fans. This is a small update to let you know that Daa^3 gallery, the gallery we use to host our monthly fanart contest, is currently experiencing some upgrade problems. We have to wait patiently until the issue is resolved, until then, the pictures will sometimes not show up properly. Here is the exciting part of this announcement. As soon as Daa^3 image gallery is back up, Inuyasha World is going to run a fanart contest for Halloween!! I realize Halloween is less than 10 days away and I'm not sure how long it will take Daa^3 to come up, so in the meantime, please submit your fan art entries by email to iyworldteam ((at)) yahoo ((dot)) com. Sorry for the email disguise, we've been running into a lot of spam emails lately. Remember to follow the same fanart contest submission guidelines as usual. For your email submission, please send in as an attachment, with your email and name in the email content. Email Subject - Halloween Fanart Contest - InuyashaWorld. Thanks! |

| Inuyasha ends at episode 167; September Fanart Winner selected
- Screencaps for the last two sequel-episodes of Inuyasha:
- Detailed summary of last episode:
- We have received a variety of opinions concerning the concluding episodes of Inuyasha. Some fans loved it, some fans were disappointed and some others still refuses to accept the fact that the series has ended... While it's hard to believe, the official anime series has in fact ended.
However, the anime does NOT conclude the Inuyasha journey. Though we have not heard of any words from the official producers, it looks like we will be getting the rest of the story as written in the manga
in the form of either Inuyasha OVAs or movies.
- Vote on what you think about the last episode in the Poll section.
- Congrats to Krystal for winning the month of September/2004 fanart contest!

The last episode of Inuyasha will air in Japan on September 13th, 2004. This episode is the second part of a two-episode ending sequel titled "The Two's Bond ~ Use the Shikon Shard!".

| THE BOTS ARE BACK!
- Believe it or not, we've managed to bring back the bots. However, we still don't have enough server space to operate the bots in FULL power yet, so they're currently in empty state, meaning you will have to sign up for a new bot and retrain them! We still have the old bot data backed up, and when we are ready, we will restore them. :) ......and after that's said, Have fun with the bots!
- New Inuyasha Polls now available in the Poll Section, thanks for the new poll ideas, everyone.

We would like to thank the nice people who donated to us in the past week! To protect your privacy, we will not be listing your name here, but we want to let you know, we really appreciate your donations, thank you!! |
| Posted by Shippo on Monday September 29 ,2003 |
| And so you wondered…….and wondered…..
Why was IYWorld closed during the weekend? Answer: Since we're getting 10000+ visitors DAILY, this site's been using too much of our server's resource, so we got shut down.
Finally, after 2 day's rest, our merciful host has allowed us to come back live again! I'm sure IYWorld's daily visitor rates will continue to go up, so we really got to work hard to save our resources to stay with the current host. As a result of this, the Virtual Bot Game have to be temporarily shut down. This will NOT be a permanent shut down, we are working at this time to purchase a new server JUST for the bots alone. I know you guys love them, so the bots will return soon!
Shameless Fund Raising: Be it one or two dollars, if you have some extra change and would like to help out by making a donation, we would appreciate it SOOOO very much! We will need a large amount of fund to be able to afford a new server, so every bit help out. Thanks in advance everyone. :D |

New Episode on CN and InuYasha Movie News
"
On the IY movies. There is no authorized USA distributor for any of the Inu movies yet, but Viz reportedly is in negotiations to get them. Neither of the first 2 movies has been dubbed in English yet. English-subbed versions exist and can be found online and on DVD. The 3rd movie won't be released in Japan until Dec. 21. Trailers and promos for that movie can be found online, in Japanese. It's about the rivalry between Inu and Sessho as they try to keep a 3rd power sword left behind by their doggy daddy (the sword to rule the world) from falling into villainous hands.
As to when more new Inu may appear on Adult Swim, the answer right now is that I don't know. There's been rumors of another new 16-episode block in Nov., but I've not seen any solid official or unofficial confirmation of that yet so it remains just a rumor, not fact.
We do know that the entire midnite-1 a.m. prime action hour on AS will open up for possible new anime in early Nov. as the reruns of Inu, FLCL and Blue Gender all will have ended around Halloween. So look for some word soon on what AS plans to be running as of Nov. 3 in the 12.5-1 slot and Nov. 10 for the 12-12.5 slot. They may just choose more reruns of something, but since they'll have gone to 6 hours nightly at that point, I think the odds are good that we'll see something new in there. (^_*)"

News obout InuYasha in July & more fanarts added!
- There have been sayings floating around about how IY will be taken off Adult Swim in July, here are some semi-official news from the IY Forum:
"Relax, looks like IY will be absent only for the month of July and then will return in its usual AS time slot Aug. 4. A hiatus isn't a cancellation. It's just a pause, probably done to give the other new shows they're running this summer a fair chance to find their own audiences, and to give Viz/Ocean a chance to finish dubbing the next batch of IY episodes. (^_*)" (thx, herbkir, for constantly keeping us updated with IY news)

| New InuYasha Episodes?!?
We may be seeing new Inuyasha episodes this summer. The April 18 Answerman
column on Anime News Network reports that new Inuyasha episodes will be run
THIS SUMMER. The columnist, Zac Bertschy, was quite adament about that but
he didn't give the exact start date nor reveal how many new episodes there
will be. Since the May rerun of the "CN 36" will end July 3, we may be
seeing new episodes July 7. That would mean promos for new episodes should
be running on CN/AS in June. This comes from a hard news-media source so
perhaps we can start getting excited again. - source (fan email: Herb Kirchhoff)

Hey Shippo,
Did you know that the Inuyasha forum you link to is now the most active
forum of any on Anime Chains Network, including their big forum for
non-anime discussions. The IY forum took over the top spot last night
(April 14) with a post by Sword Obsessor at 10:48 p.m. Total posts to the
IY forum have doubled since Feb. 5. Right now, the IY forum has seen over
11,400 total posts. More proof of exploding interest in Inuyasha. Thought
you'd like to know. (^_*)

compilations. Considering how many other anime DVDs are out there, that's
very impressive.

| Interesting InuYasha Stats - contributed by Herb Kirchhoff
Here’s an indicator of Inuyasha’s
popularity relative to the other series
running in the weeknight Adult Swim block. Everybody knows how you can use
Google search-engine hit counts as a rough analytical tool for spotting
patterns and trends perhaps worth more sophisticated analysis, by noting how
many hits you get on each search string. I ran a Google hit analysis on the
Adult Swim shows by searching the
anime show name, then adding the word
fan to the string and finally adding the words Adult Swim to the string.
Here’s the results as of March 5:
anime Cowboy Bebop 133,000 hits +fan 43,000 hits +Adult
Swim 2,060 hits
anime Inuyasha 58,100 +fan
13,500 +Adult Swim 1,350
anime ”Home Movies” 36,300 +fan 2,750
+Adult Swim 270
anime Lupin 3rd 6,620
+fan 2,680 +Adult Swim 225
anime Reign Conqueror 595 +fan
200 +Adult Swim 129
anime Futurama 52,500 +fan
6,940 +Adult Swim 284
Futurama 433,000 +fan
42,700 +Adult Swim 811

| New IY Wallpapers & Tips from IY fans
2 new wallpapers added - arigatou, Kagura ^_^.
Tips from Herbert Kirchhoff
"Tell the fans that if they want to program their VCRs to catch IY
episodes, they should make sure their VCR clock is set correctly, and then
set their machines to record every Tues., Wed., Thurs. and Fri. from 1 a.m.
to 1:30 a.m. eastern time, or whatever local time IY is run in their part of
the country. Make sure there's a tape in the machine and the satellite or
cable box is on and set to the Cartoon Network channel before going to bed.
IY is worth learning how to program the VCR for. Do a trial run to make
sure things work correctly. I set my VCR up and it worked perfectly. Just
remember to keep watch on CN's times since the IY World schedule info
indicates they may run IY earlier starting in April. And watch for power
glitches that could erase the program or stop the clock." |

| We are officially moving to InuyashaWorld.com!
After this site's daily traffic peaked at 1080 visitors a couple of days ago, I have decided to get the site officially hosted at inuyashaworld.com The pages at animechains.com, of course, will remain accessable and updated at the same time as IYWorld, it will be used as a mirror site. ^_^
I like to thank my sponsor, animebookstore.com, who provided the financial support to get this site hosted! If anyone interested in sponsoring IYWorld through advertisement, please email me. The hosting fee I will need to pay is very expensive. ^^''''

| Inuyasha will be back on air in March!
Guys, after receiving a number of fan emails regarding adult swim switching IY's schedules around, I think there are some confusions about the official airing schedule. Please visit The TV Schedules section for more info on this.
More IY Support from fans:
Here's another email from
Herbert Kirchhoff on ways to contact Cartoon Network and demand more IY:
Found another way to contact Cartoon Network folks, via the Web.
There's a page on their Web site where you can post feedback about their
programming. Web address is:
cartoonnetwork.com/gen/help
It's easy to do. But be polite and to the point -- avoid ranting. And if
you use the Wab portal, give 'em a way to get back in touch with you like
your e-mail address 'cause that adds credibility. These are businesspeople
you're talking to and they won't respect us and listen to us if we come
across as offensive. Remember, they won't know we're out here until we tell
them. I'll be hunting up more ways for contacting CN and Adult Swim folks
and will let you know as I find them. Tell 'em nicely how much Inuyasha
means to us. And spread the word to other Inuyasha fan sites on how to
reach these folks!

We want more Inuyasha!
Guys, I received a fan email from Herbert Kirchhoff who kindly provided us with the information we need to get in touch with Cartoon Network, the US TV network that airs Inuyasha.
Below is a copy of the email in it's original form:
We should help make sure Adult Swim brings Inuyasha back and gets more
episodes beyond Eps. 36. We should write to them and to their parent
Cartoon Network to let them know our desire. You might want to put these
postal addresses on your site with suggestion to write. Yes, I know snail
mail is lots of trouble to do, but that's why business execs pay attention
to it where they ignore e-mails. They figure that if someone's gone to the
trouble of writing a real letter, they must really be concerned!
Addresses are:
Adult Swim 1065 Williams Street NW Atlanta, GA 30309
Cartoon Network 1050 Techwood Drive NW Atlanta, GA 30318
They won't know we're out here unless we tell them.
If you guys get any replies from them and wish to let other fans know about it, please email me.
The second piece of news is the addition of a new profile editor to our IY World team. Please welcome Sango44!
If you would like to help in the site development of IY World, please email iyworld@animechains.com ^_^ |
