Inuyasha Begins Anew
 

For the anime fans out there, you may be happy to know that Cartoon Network has begun the Inuyasha series from the beginning again. On top of this, they seem to be showing 2 episodes a night. Inyasha is such an ungodly long series that I can barely remember seeing the beginning of it.

In last night's episode, Sesshomaru was introduced and Inuyasha found the Tetsusaiga at his father's grave. Tonight's episode will be Inuyasha's first battle with Tetsusaiga against Sesshomaru. Don't miss it, even if you have seen it before!

Probably my all-time favorite, but it doesn't come on until...what 11:30 or 12?

Tough for me to catch that when I clock in @ 7:30am.

Confidentially, I often stay up to watch it despite work the next day. :p It's a great anime, but LONG.

TIVO. repeat after me TIVO :)
Watch what you want WHEN you want.

Of course I'm sure I won't be recording any anime, but to each his own.

I don't mind recording my shows, but I always have this nagging feeling that I don't feel like watching them after I have them on tape. :p

Tape is for losers :D TIVO or DVR is where it's at. I had a VCR for years, I never ever recorded anything, ever.

I've heard of TIVO, but never really seen one in action. It sounds really cutting edge.

I held out for awhile, but as they say, it will change the way you watch t.v. and you'll wonder how you ever got along with out it.

Tivo has ruined me fore regular TV. It infuriates me to have to watch what is on at that exact moment (how dumb is that?) or to have to watch commercials.

Lol! Maybe I need to look into that then. Do they get a lot of channels? I'm obviously a Cartoon Network fan.

LOL I know what you mean. I'm the say way, at our house we practically record everything on TIVO we plan to watch, even if the show is just coming on t.v... we'll let TIVO capture it for at least 15 minutes or so, so we can fast forward past the commercials :)



Whether it's a Tivo or a DVR, it's got nothing to do with channels.. that is dependent on your Cable, Satellite provider.

Seriously? That's awesome.

There is almost as much difference between a Tivo-branded DVR and a "store brand" as there is between a store brand and nothing at all. The Tivo folks have it figured out and the off-brand cable-company-provided DVRs are, without exception, hunks of crap in comparison.

Do you have to subscribe to a service, or is TIVO just a machine like the DVR?

Never had a DVR, but I gotta start checking into this stuff.

Anywho, back on topic. I watched Inyasha last night. Adult Swim had the two episodes where Inuyasha battled Ryukotsusei, the dragon demon that defeated Inuyasha's father. Actually Inuyasha's father, Inutaisho, won that battle, but the wound Ryukotsusei gave him during that fight later killed him, or so says Myoga. That series of events is covered in one of the movies. I never get tired of watching Inuyasha use the Backlash Wave for the first time. He totally ripped Ryukotsusei with it.

Tivo requires a subscription.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Hard for me to justify paying for a service like that when the only channels I watch are Discovery, Animal planet, Comedy Central and Cartoon Network.

Boy....how happy would I be if I could only pay for the channels I want instead of the rest of the garbage they pump through my cable....

Spoken like someone who's never had TIVO :)

I'm only familiar with TIVO, which I think I pay $5/month through DirecTV.
JoePole, what about other DVRs ? do they require a subscription ?

I know the cable company here offers DVR equipped cable boxes, but I don't have one since I just have basic cable.

62 channels is about 58 more than I need already.

The problem with Tivo is that it's so well-designed and fluid to use that it not only ruins you for regular TV, but it ruins you for other DVR boxes. DirecTV no longer supplies Tivo-branded boxes so when I get a new one (which should be soon) I'll have to change to cable. The HD ones are $800 to buy and $20/month.

Does Dish Network offer them ?
 

I work all day and I have dish at home and would love to record some sports and other shows but this high tech stuff I might have to call the kids in again to explain it.

Inuyasha has recently started over again. Cartoon Network needs to get some new stuff and quick. I wanna see some NEW Inuyasha.
