    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)

  • 8 More fan arts have been entered into the April contest. Check them out!
  • The IY forum seem to be getting more and more popular. Here's an encouraging fan email from 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. (^_*)

    IY Time Change(contributed by: Herb Kirchhoff)
    Adult Swim's Web site has confirmed the upcoming time change for Inuyasha. It will be moved up by a half hour the evening of Monday March 31, to 12:30 a.m. instead of 1 a.m. (Technically, for those who program their VCRs to time-shift IY, that would be 12:30 a.m. the morning of Tuesday April 1).

    More Fan Connections things added..

    More proof of IY's Strength (contributed by:Herb Kirchhoff)
    ICv2.com, the Web site for a trade newsletter in the pop culture retailing industry (comic stores etc.) reported this week that its Feb. retailer survey of the hottest-selling pop culture items showed an Inuyasha DVD, Vol. 2 "A girl's Best Friend" was the third largest selling anime DVD in that retail channel during Feb. It came in third behind 2 Robotech episode 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

    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."

    More words on Cartoon Network Airing Schedules

    Cartoon Network has announced that, starting in March, Toonami is adding Yu Yu Hakusho as well as the final episodes for Dragonball Z.

    The programming block will also once again be shortened to a two hour programming block. Toonami was once before shortened to 2 hours in May of 2001. The third hour returned in June 2002.

    Also in March, Inu Yasha will be returning to Adult Swim. Trigun, meanwhile, has been pushed to an April debut.

    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 ^_^
