Adult Swim Inuyasha First Promo: Retro

[lnv77777]

I wish I could rewind the clock to a time when life was so simple and tv was so much better.

[gameoncloud9]

August 31 was a great day

[Makilore]

This promo makes Inuyasha look way more epic then it actually is.

[zeldaed123]

@Makilore That is the power of Keith David.

[Makilore]

@zeldaed123 Yup, but Keith David was NOT in this series...and even if he were, his badass voice wouldn't have been enough to save it. Dr. Facilier FTW!

[WorldWar3MCs]

IS THAT KEITH DAIVID!?



[zeldaed123]

@WorldWar3MCs Oh hell yeah it is.

[shadowaddictied]

I remember watching this when I was 7...good times!

[inuyasharocks333]

Lol goood times

[WestSide4Lyfe07]

OH THE NOSTALGIAAAAAAA

[wisewarriormuzic]

Back in the day winter,spring,and summer break would play out like so:

1.Sleep in

2.Eat,watch Kids WB,go outside and play with family/friends till those street lights came on

3.Wash up,eat,watch Toonami(DBZ,Outlaw Star,Tenchi ect)

4.Play Zelda,Mario,Street Fighter,Final Fantasy n' all the classic shit till Adult Swim

5.Stay up till 3:30

6.Do it all over Tommorow

IF YOUR CHILDHOOD DID NOT CONSIST OF THESE THINGS,SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

[OroborusFMA]

InuYasha, Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Alchemist, Big O . . . from that mythic time before the Cartoonless Network jumped the shark.

[xmetalhead93x]

That moment when Sgt. Foley narrates your favorite show of all time... *tears*

[DrKbboy]

is that Keith David narrating?

[SudanCarib]

@DrKbboy

I Know!!!!! I didn't know he gets down with amine sweet!!!!

[dreamworld009]

inuyasha first appearance started in the summer of 2002

[darkfire170]

first shonen series in adult swim . good times

[emuonyurshoe]

one day you're eight years old, watching this promo and full episodes over and over on a VHS tape you recorded, the next you're watching it on YouTube nostalgiaing. Amazing.

[shiva1055]

@emuonyurshoe way to copy the top rated comment

[emuonyurshoe]

@shiva1055 well it's true though, I used to record it every night on VHS ._. didn't really intend to copy, my wording just sucked I guess >_>

[anticrissis]

whats this beat named?

[NATIVE231000]

WOAH WOAH hold on....... that voice whos doing this promo...is that the same guy who does the allstate commercials? lol

[KashgroundTM]

did they ever finish this show?

[melgibsonsballs]

@KashgroundTM yes the show was finished with Inuyasha: The final act, and the manga is still ongoing

[xXLikeAbosSXx09]

@melgibsonsballs i thought the manga ended already? after they defeated naraku n kagome decided to stay with inuyasha

[solidusjess]

i loved adult swims bumps and promos..i miss adult swim in its golden years

[booteeny24]

Shoot I remember Inuyasha back in 1999!

[krirt13]

lol i was four in 2003 and now im 13 in 2011 and im obsessed with inuyasha and on the final act

[CFAMediaV7]

@krirt13 I don't suppose you have any of those 2003 episodes recorded do you?

[krirt13]

@CFAMediaV7 no i watched it all on my computer and i finished the final act. It was soo good! P.S. i cant find any other good animes and i have seen ranma 1/2 shugp chara and true tears do you have any recommendations?

[CFAMediaV7]

@krirt13 Oh, damn....

As to recommendations, try Dual! you may like it. I personally love it! I don't watch too many animes though.

[krirt13]

@CFAMediaV7 what is dual about? If its like, funny but not about characters who are like 10 then i will try it. also, why did you ask me if i had them recorded??

[CFAMediaV7]

@krirt13 Yeah, it's funny, and serious. The characters are about 18 or so.

You can watch the show here on You Tube. Search DUAL! PARALLEL TROUBLE ADVENTURE ep1/1/3.

The reason why I asked you if you had Inu-Yasha episodes recorded or not is because I'm currently looking for anyone that has Inu-Yasha episodes recorded off of Adult Swim with the original commercial breaks intact. If you know anyone that does, let me know! I'll pay for them, etc.

[krirt13]

@CFAMediaV7 i might try dual. also i dont know anybody who has any of those recorded, but if your really serious about getting them, you should put up a website or something

[CFAMediaV7]

@krirt13 Yeah, I was thinking about that, or at least a forum to discuss with others.

[ReaperWEare]

@krirt13 you've probably already seen cowboy bebop and full metal alchemist, but on the off chance that you haven't there you go.

[krirt13]

@ReaperWEare i have. i loveeeeeeeee cowwboy bepbop and full metal are okay. it is really odd because i am like not like a geek or anything normally but i love anime and not to mention i am 13 and somehow find these things hillarious

[knives4cash]

Shepard: Cool story, bro; the Reapers are going to attack any moment.

[skippyboomer]

i started waching this back in 2008 and boy i wish i watched it during it's glory days

[hiraikotsu13]

Oh my God!! I started watching adult swim in 2003 because of InuYasha. I wish adult swim would go back to the way it was then.

[l3054]

i had completely forgot about this until now those day were the shit

[DreamgirlBlue]

Lol no way!!! Keith David!!!?!;)

[inuyashavsnaruto]

Feels like an Toonami promo...

[Zenigundam]

I can't believe how quickly time flies. I remember this promo easily.

I remember the early days of Adult Swim when it would only come on Saturdays and Sundays from 11-2, well before it became [adult swim].

One day you're 12 years old watching Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Gundam 0083 into the wee late hours of Saturday and the next day you're 21 and the days of childhood past are all just sweet memories.

[ReaperWEare]

@Zenigundam you sir read my mind.

[lgnzim]

@Zenigundam wow you are me. im 22 and felt exactly the same as you.

[MrJonez21]

@Zenigundam same, word 4 word man I MISS them day's :(

[KyuubiKhaos]

@Zenigundam Probably because I just turned 21, I wholeheartedly relate to this. I miss the old Adult Swim so much, it's almost painful. Everything from that era of Cartoon network was much better.

[inuyasharocks333]

@Zenigundam or 18

[kurenairox125]

wow this was a long time ago. I lived in Canada back when this aired so I didn't have adult swim. I watched Inuyasha on Bionix which is like the canadian equivalent of toonami

[aed7161989]

Who was the narrator for this promo? His voice is so familiar, but I can't think of his name.

[ViewtifulRain]

@aed7161989 I think the narrator is keith david because he sounds like Goliath form Gargoyles.

[aed7161989]

@ViewtifulRain Oh, OK. Thanks!

[Fuzunga]

Still on at 5:30am! Oh, wait...

[Monkeymoviesinc]

i remember those times....watching adult swim as a kid....Dang what happened to TV, i use to trust it...

[beutifulamit]

Why is this show only one ONCE a week? DAMN ADULT SWIM! used to be like 2 a day...

[FunStuff141]

@beutifulamit its not fair ): wait have u watched the whole series cuz i feel like im the only one whos still on ep 79 gah i have a long way to go :)

[beutifulamit]

@FunStuff141 haha yeah ive watched and read the whole series a few times :P

[FunStuff141]

@beutifulamit ahhh see i started late and at first i was like omfg its a poorly written version of naruto but then i found out on my own and i was like psh im sorry i like this way more then naruto

i prob would have had an earlier start if i had been old enough for adult swim when it came out but considering i was 12 my mom wouldnt let me ):

[blackdragonx715]

[ImOnGroundZer0]

Wow , Old School AS Logo :)

[VillaKaulitz]

wow august 31 is my birthday, it's on my favorite anime's commercial!

[sephservant]

Lol I remember seeing this commercial and thinking "Is this anime action, comedy, or romance?"

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@sephservant And we all found the answer to be: all of the above.

[soulreaper909]

I remember 2 years back i watched 2 episodes of Inuyasha and then i asked people for a giant plush Inuyasha doll, its hanging in my room to this day =D

[MikeD3691]

i don't know why but i liked the show better when i was unfamiliar with it

its still great though

[KamenRiderPredator13]

Keith David!!!!!!!!! I can tell.

[beastdude507]

@KamenRiderPredator13 That's what made me love this promo so much.

[ShadowPhoenixKC]

@KamenRiderPredator13 One of the voices that can be recognized by everyone.

[jjrod33]

[mollychanftw]

Haha I just realized this was Keith David

And I love the music. Toonami and Adult Swim promos always had the best music

[TheAngelMirror]

TT^TT Awwwwww~ This is the very promo that made me watch the very first episodes of Inuyasha for the first ...like 7 years ago! *hugs Inuyasha plushie*

[origamipein18]

OMG, I remember seeing this as a kid!: D Keith David was narrating this commercial? Cool! This was back when Adult Swim was cool.

[kalara75]

Awesome Its Keith David (voice actor of Goliath of Gargoyles fam) is the narrator of this how cool. Two of my favorite shows together Inu and Gargs great stuff.

[sweetsugargirl28]

cuuute!

[nightcrawler998]

i remember this from like 9478097590760 years ago

[ShadowRatchet92]

Is the Narrator Keith David?

[izak076]

@ShadowRatchet92 yes

[kalara75]

@ShadowRatchet92 Yep

[BlissfulMary]

@ShadowRatchet92 10 months later and you prob know already but yes I think that is keith david...the same voice actor for Goliath in the "Gargoyles" series....Also actor in john carpenter's "The Thing" remake.

[darkfire170]

@BlissfulMary 

[steampoweredtv]

I always like the background music in this promo and wanted a copy of the track.

[WisconsinRebals2010]

OMFG This was when Inuyasha was new I miss we could see new episodes lol Adult Swim was awesome then and Adult Swim is awesome now, Family Guy

[kagome5106]

No InuYasha started August 31st 2002. That's when I first seen it.

[scaredcrimson]

AHHHHH!! soooo many memories of staying up and watching. Good times, good times.

[ChuckRoast14]

OMG Nostalgia 

[inuyasha11231]

R.I.P Anime, We will remember you as equally as a parent.

[Shel0867]

"...Of course, they may kill each other first."

Inuyasha Kagome perfect summary FTW

[elmaschingon142006]

huh kinda funny that arbiter is narrating this

[OPnumba1]

@elmaschingon142006 it's Keith David a very good voice actor ... they did have Optimus Prime doing bumps for Toonami.

[Dragon45348]

Thooooose were the dayyyyyyyys

[BeautifulAceOfSpades]

I remember this. I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade when this first came on during toonami!

[IEATFOOOOD]

Inuyasha turned into absolute shit after the Band of Seven arc. 

[jakonen]

@IEATFOOOOD you stayed that long?! props!

[IEATFOOOOD]

@jakonen Tbh I watched it all up to the final episode of the first anime. It got to the point where I stopped caring about the characters and just wanted to see Naraku die (keep in mind I was watching this series when I was a kid). When I saw the last episode, I was so pissed off that I was on the verge of giving up on anime forever. However Bleach and Death Note saved me, even though Bleach isn't as good as it used to be and Death Note should have ended after the 1st season.

[inuyasha9454]

@IEATFOOOOD same here but refresh my memory did they end up killing naruku cant remember

[IEATFOOOOD]

@inuyasha9454 They ended the 1st anime with them not killing Naraku but promising that they will eventually. Naraku finally dies at chapter 553 in the manga. The 1st anime ended at volume 36 (chapters 349-358) of the manga, meaning that it takes 200+ chapters for Naraku to finally die. & if thats not enough, the biggest anime asspull occurs when its revealed that the FUCKING SHIKON JEWEL WAS THE REAL BAD GUY ALL ALONG! It then ends with an ending u can see coming miles away. Ditch this bullshit.

[inuyasha9454]

@IEATFOOOOD the jewel thats kinda of disturbing 

[forever0young0lover5]

@inuyasha9454 last year they made a new inu season called the final act its made up of 26eps n it finally finishs the whole epilogue

[jerritopia]

kekaishi bleach full metal alchemist and a bunch of dumb ass shows and they still show it at like 5 am if ur awake lol and on demand but they got rid of scooby doo goosebumps totally spies stuff i liked

[Deathclok]

Is that Keith David narrating???

[Gallarian]

@Deathclok God Damn. It is!

[uberschelsse]

The re-encarnation of who?!

[ilovejay1919]

Does anyone know the name to th song that is being played for this bump? I've been wondering since I first saw/heard this when I was a Freshman in high school. I finally graduated from college and I still don't know the name to this song ;((

hahaha

[rumbazz]

whoever made it needs to realize it out to the public, it cannot be found anywhere.

[KagomeHigurashi001]

Lol, I like the end when Kagome says sit XD

I wish I watched Inuyasha back then, or atleast knew what it was. Thanks for putting this commercial up though!

[YukinaHyuga15]

Those were the good old days.....

[itsGerbilsworld]

Inuyasha was from 2002 not 2003.

[003Godsend]

umm yea. this and case closed were the shit.

[maryraus]

@003Godsend Ikr!!

[Thousandmasternagi1]

Inuyasha: The Final Act, PLEASE get here soon...

[BabiiDalek]

Have any tv channels in the uk ever shown inuyasha? :/ lol :P

[92JohnnyP]

Dude I use to remember watching this when my mom would ask me if I wanted a bowl of coco-puffs cause I couldnt go to sleep, this and wolf's rain!

[haunnnnnn]

Lastly, thanks for posting this, man! Brings back good times, indeed! =D

[haunnnnnn]

Wow, to think that much time has passed since then...damn. Man, I wish we could just really go back to the 90s - 2000s again, man. Nowadays, with all the things that's been happening ever since, well, things won't ever be the same, again, and here I was thinking that those times would stay forever. Now, it's like, 'So, now what, I wonder?" =(

[haunnnnnn]

Ah, hell yeah, man! I totally first remember watching this awesome promo of Inuyasha! Shit, those were the days, back when it was totally worth staying up to watch Adult Swim! I was there when Inuyasha first aired on that day, August 31st, 2002. I swear, that day really did change my life, for it was that magical moment that I now knew the word "anime", and that the stuff I've been watching in the mid-late 90s was anime. Ever since then, I could never thank Inuyasha enough!

[Ieafs1319]

THE RE-ENCARNATION OF WHO?!

HALF MAN HALF DEMON

[Sugarlicouse]

i wish i wasn't such a whimp when this started airing! i was like 4 yrs old! sigh this would have been my first anime! i wish i was alive when these awsome comercials were on! now i gotta wait til 4:00 am on sunday to watch it! shouldn't they have this on still tho for the um final act? they need to make a promo for the final act! tht one would b awsomeness!

[younglink187]

memories i used to call my sister get those KFC Barbecue chicken wings`and watch inuyasha it was another show robot jones

[Zenigundam]

I remember this like it was yesterday.

Those were good times, staying up every Saturday night and watching badass cartoons, but now I'm grown up, they don't make em like those anymore.

Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho and Gundam 0083, my favorite Adult Swim programs

[younglink187]

@Zenigundam every since bleach came on adult swim went down fall i used to remember trigun came on and bebop but they still air bebop ADULT SWIM 2002-2008 R.I.P

[xoICYRAINFALLxo]

lol keith davids voice makes anything sound 10x more epic.

[cocomint2000]

how much do you think they paid keith david to do this?

[nintendoboy17]

Man, CN used to be great with anime, no matter what block they were on (between Miguzi, Toonami and Adult Swim that is), especially since they had my five favorites:

Zatch Bell

Inuyasha

Yu Yu Hakusho

Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z

Naruto Classic

Now they just suck now. What happened, Cartoon Network?

[brawlerboy2121]

@nintendoboy17 the main suport for anime died and Miguzi, Toonami were no more makes me sad T-T

[younglink187]

@nintendoboy17 syfy on monday nights is kickin adults swim ass cause they got good shows

[RockerXZERO]

@younglink187

not enough. need more than one night for 2 hours. no offense.

[baxter553]

@nintendoboy17 simple the excutives wanted new age shows in other words, they got off the anime idea which sucks i wish they would give toonami it's own station or at least scrap into on funimation or something

[DwyaneWadeCounty]

@nintendoboy17 They sold their soul to 4Kids...T-T

[sharky5921]

1:15-1:17 sharingan in inuyasha

[cavezon16]

WTF?

Keith David?

[XLSaga]

@cavezon16 Keith David FTW

[everyhour100]

like cowboy bebop inuyasha has different verisons a TV-Y7 FV and TV-14

[TheInuYashaChick]

Dude if I first saw this I'd be confused on the show, and why did they put Kikyo's voice in as Kagome's?

[everyhour100]

something is not right about inuyasha i never heard badwords on this show

adult swim is a liar inuyasha should be on cartoon network not there

[Kinyoku]

@everyhour100 The adultswim version had cursing in it. :O

[NaruTsukiomi]

@itsGerbilsworld Yeah ur right it came out in 2002 when I was getting into my remember it too well

[pepercat17]

OMG! I remeber this! I was in 7th grade when i was introduced to Inuyasha. ahhh takes me back to the moments where I would stay up saturday nights. (wb mornings and adult swim nights) now staurdays are just boreing

[DwyaneWadeCounty]

@pepercat17 Yup. I remember when I would stay home while my parents would on to the movies without me. Saturdays were just that good. But on the bright side, some of us are now old enough to get inside clubs...xD

p.s. If you ever decide to pay $20-$40 to go inside of a club, at least make sure that the club is from South Beach.

[AnimaniacsGuy]

No its not 2003, its actually 2002. Because 2001 was for the comedy and the anime never on until a 1 year later.

[Mookie2068]

@AnimaniacsGuy the anime was there too in 2001 or at least cowboy bebop, yu yu haku show, outlaw star, pilot candidate and stuff like that. In fact cowboy bebop has been stated to be the reason [as] even started.

[xAvery96]

@Mookie2068 No1 really remembers Pilot CandidATE...i was really angry to find out they only did season 1 in english.

[phantom402]

HOLY SHIT ITS THE DUDE FROM MODERN WARARE 2 Keith David

[KamiDev]

;_______; My middle school years were spent staying up on Saturday night waiting for Inuyasha to come on. I remember watching the first episode when it premiered on [Adult Swim]. MY CHILDHOODDDDDDDDDD.

[kafu88]

lolol OLLDD!!!!!!

[theuncannyxfan]

i hate the show but love the promo

[queeneve]

I've been watching this show FOREVAH. I love it!
