Hong Kong – InuYasha – The Final Act is set for an Asia-wide premiere within the same week as the series’ debut in Japan on Animax. The brand new 26-part anime series premieres 10 October 2009, airing Saturdays 8pm (SEA, PH, SA) / 7pm (WIB) / 7.30pm (HK) / 11.30pm (TW) on Animax, within five days of each episode’s premiere broadcast on Japan’s Yomiuri TV. InuYasha – The Final Act is the direct sequel to the first InuYasha anime series that aired in Japan from October 2000 to September 2004. Based on Rumiko Takahashi’s (Ranma 1/2) 2002 Shogakukan Manga Award-winning ‘InuYasha’ manga series, the first anime series brought on TV the action in the first 36 volumes of the manga. Picking up from where the action left off, InuYasha – The Final Act will bring to life the remaining 20 volumes of Takahashi’s work. In addition to the same-week broadcast, the episodes will be made available on the Animax website (www.animax-asia.com), seven days after its telecast.
