I went through all the inuyasha endings i can remember, and yes My will is the best , and thats not just my nostalgia talking either. I like most if not all though, could only distinctively remember up to ending 6 (the current ?) anyways

i'd say Come (7) and Every Heart (4) are tied for second.

Nope, and no one asked about how they were showing clips from Naruto episodes they didn't have the rights to

But it is!
Man I remember being outside one November night and seeing a HUGE full moon overhead and that song INSTANTLY came to mind (was probably airing on AS at the time.) That kind of thing sticks with you.

what's the point of a q&a then :<

Maybe those clips appear in Shippuden via flashbacks.

Unfortunately, 'Ol Sword-Art had to be put down. Fella just couldn't move like it used to. It got old and could barely walk anymore.
We buried 'ol Sword-Art behind the family mulberry tree. Lil' Jason made the grave marker all by himself. Poor guy's all heart-broken.

Inuyasha was probably the first shows I "stayed up late" for, so I have fond memories of it and the endings and sneaking to watch it.
Hmm
One Piece
-We spent several episodes getting introduced to the location and the new characters, and after a squabble with Usopp that felt just a tad awkward to me, seems like things are getting interesting.
FMA:B
-I'm a sucker for 'brotherhood' relationships (a reason why this show resonates with me), so the transmutation scene is definitely a favorite of mine. Ed's line: "No, dammit. You won't take him too. Give him back! He's my brother! Take my leg. Take my arm! Take my heart, ANYTHING, YOU CAN HAVE IT!" always gets to me. Episodes are over-packed though.
GitS
-Seeing Aramaki make fools out of SWAT was as amusing as last time I saw the episode. And from here on out, everything should be 'new' to me.
Naruto
-Zabuza is a cool foe, and it's refreshing to see the one moment Naruto and Sasuke work together without needing sharingan or rasengan. I also appreciate Kakashi getting into a little trouble to show he isn't perfect all the time.
Blue Exorcist
-Yeah the ho-hum part time job stuff was unexpected based off the previews, but it's only natural to set up the sense of normalcy before 'shit gets real'. While the show was certainly a mix between dark and light hearted, I think I like the tone so far. I'm interested in seeing more, which means the first episode did its job. JYB as Yukio feels just a tad awkward though, his design and the voice don't gel well but maybe I'll get used to it.
Samurai Jack
-Genndy's artstyle is fun to see, and it's a nice change of pace from the 4 hours before it. I think it works well as a late-block show although I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps because it's simple. But yeah, this episode was a little trite.
Space Dandy
-I love dogs, so I can't say I didn't care when pup passed away. But it did feel like a cheap emotional tug. And then the second half was an entirely different mood. It was amusing at times, but a little too haphazard.
Clone Wars
-Pretty action packed. Ashoka wasn't insufferable. Some fun visuals.
Shippuden
-Kankuro's jutsus are a little unorthodox, but I prefer that to energy balls and magic. I can't hate Kankuro, so this episode wasn't awful, and the skirmish was done in a single episode! But the show feels quite stilted. And IIRC there's still more set up to be done before we actually hit the somewhat more interesting parts on the arc.
Soul Eater
-Pretty terrible episode all around. Asura isn't interesting. Arachne pretty much never did anything. Maybe Kid stepping up to avenge his father might be somewhat nifty. I was afraid I'd lose interest when Medusa was offed, and that seems to be the case.
Bleach
-Bleach sucks. Not just because it's filler, but Bleach's style of combat scenes is almost always terrible. Naruto mid-battle flashbacks are better than Bleach combat chatter.

I did but they didn't answer.
Come is easily the best ED in a show full of really great EDs. My Will is definitely number 2, though.
Fun fact: Come is actually a (superior) cover of an Australian pop song.
Don't believe me?

Which brings to the other problem with Q&As they don't have any interest in answering the actually not dumb questions , they want the softballs and are willing to accept the idiocy .

I have to agree about that Inuyasha ending. That thing is S-tier awesome. Much like Andrex, I had a situation when watching old adult swim anime saturday night block, seeing that ending and then going outside in the middle of a field we had behind our house in Illinois and staring at a giant full moon in the cold. That shit is magical to me now.
Also speaking of good ED. I can't wait until Blue Exorcist's second ED song. I know it will be shortened, but that shit is jammin.

So I finally watched last night's Dandy. Overall I thought it was a decent episode, but there was just not enough time spent with Pup to get too emotionally attached. The Cowboy Bebop reference in the episode was pretty sweet. I almost feel like the Flee Bros and Pup episodes could have been separate, though I'm not as sure on the actual plot of an episode about a dog other than either making Pup a crew member through a zany adventure or just end with feels.

Its really jarring watching OG Naruto and seeing how much more story has happened and how much better paced the original series is compared to Shippuden
Based on what was happening in the show preceding it , Deadman Wonderlands Shiny Shiny was the best closing song in Toonami History
And what's all this crazy talk about any Inuyasha song other than My Will being the best? SMDH
i liked the opening song to that show in all seriousness though!

"Follow My Lead! The Great Survival Challenge"
We open straight to the Ninja Academy. All of the students including Team Konohamaru are gathered around a bulletin board, chattering away about some unbelievable upcoming event. Then we head to Tsunade's office where Naruto is giving her the business. He can't believe it. He wants a real mission not babysitting duty. Twenty, Lee, Neji, Ino Pig, Choji, Shino, Kiba, and Hinata are also there. Too bad, the teams are already assigned. Naruto needs to get back to his training but no one ever became Hokage by disappointing kids and not being a leader. This mission is ideal for Hokage training. She goes to rip up the team assignments and start over but of course Naruto fell for it. None of the other Genin are impressed by how easily he was tricked. Naruto get his team assignment. It's Konohamaru, Moegi, and what's his name. Shikamaru got out of this job by being a proctor. He didn't want to do it anyways as it's a drag.
Iruka lays down the score; a two day survival mission race to a mountain. They need to stick to the routes and avoid proctors posing as enemy Ninja. They need to make it to the stone face of the mountain and retrieve the document there. There's only one document though so it's a race. Naruto encourages his team saying they'll be the ones Iruka is talking about winning.
We start with Team Choji. He teaches them how to live off the land with a raw plant they can eat and makes them search for food. One of finds something similar to the grass Choji ate but he points out that it is poisonous blowfish variety. Different leaf shape. Choji is proud. Naruto is teaching Team Konohamaru with the same lesson, only his foraging off the land involves a convenience store. They are not impressed.
Team Neji is next. He teaches them that compasses aren't accurate in this area but if you have a wristwatch you can get an approximate direction by looking at the current time compared to where the sun is. They are impressed. Cut to Naruto getting lost with his compass. Moegi and Konohamaru agree, he's lost.
Naruto pretends not to be and a getting lost in the jungle montage begins, including a stop in some old lady's living room. Back where they started. He gives the map to Konohamaru who also gets lost. Moegi is next. Nope. They're doomed. The third one is next when he gets hypnotized by the compass. Less important teams like Ino Pig and Kiba get one frame shots in a quick montage. Shino is crossing a bridge and Twenty is beating the fuck out of goons. Hinata is using her Byakugan to sniff out trouble.
Cut to Lee's team who have also taken out some goons. When he asks if they are ok they respond, "Yes, Lee-Sensei!" He is shook with pride and asks them to repeat it, which they do. He is so proud. The power of youth leads them into the setting sun. Next Iruka gets to ambush Naruto and his squad. Naruto senses them and so do the academy trio. Iruka cuts a quick promo and Naruto starts the sexy Jutsu, which Iruka no sells from behind, clocking Naruto. Team Konohamaru has been practicing though and unleash the cheesecake jutsu.
Works pretty well I should say but one man is strong enough to completely no sell it and lays them out.
Yeah, that's the guy. Night falls as the rain comes in and Shikamaru tells Iruka that he has an updated weather chart. Team Hinata finds a roadside shelter because they stopped earlier. Hinata says that Ninja always checks the weather. Team Naruto is stuck in the rain and lightning and Moegi is shook. It's a Typhoon says Shikamaru and Iruka is calling off the mission. Team Naruto is off the trail and are going to push on through the night like real men and women, taking a shortcut.
They make it to the mountain and Naruto is far ahead because he can walk up walls. The kids can't and complain about it but Naruto pushes them on. Udon didn't pack the tent properly and it catches the wind. Konohamaru catches him. Naruto instructs him to unfasten the tent as he prepares a rope. The three fall off as Naruto catches them with a deft bit of rope work. Meanwhile the Chunin have found and recalled every team but, you guessed it, Naruto's team. Shikamaru found one of their bags off the trail and Iruka is worried.
The four of them are in a cave and Team Konohamaru is fighting. Bonds are breaking! Naruto is supposed to be leading. They're hungry and an uneasy truce begins. Shikamaru and Iruka are on the trail. Naruto's food all requires boiling water besides a cake he bought so it's useless. He cuts it into three instead of four. He remembers the bell test and teaches a lesson in teamwork! He's a real leader so they all decide to split it with him despite his protests. Shikamaru is PISSED. They aren't in the cave when they get there. He's a brutal taskmaster, they should have let him starve.
Udon has a bad feeling as they are climbing the mountain and a giant fuck crush boulder is heading right for them. Naruto wants them to go and they head to the right. The boulder falls on him and the kids decide to save him. He fell in a gap so he's not hurt but he is stuck. Udon wants to leave but Konohamaru cuts a promo; Naruto is their nakama after all! A person can do anything if they put their heart and soul into it.
They run up the mountain and clear the debris as the stone on top of the mountain starts coming down. Iruka and Shikamaru appear to ask if they are ok and point out that the rock on top of the mountain is coming down. Naruto makes some clones and tells the kids to run down the mountain as a boulder lands on him. The clones held it up while he Rasengan'd it to dust.
The fourth wants answers and the kids snitch on him. Short cuts. Rule breaking. Dangerous. Going ahead no matter what. His lesson in teamwork really paid off as they learned team snitching. Naruto runs out of the office with Tsunade in hot pursuit as we end this episode.

For a second there I thought he was somehow shooting piss out of his clothes onto Ino.
Visually it looks amazing.
BRING FINAL ACT TO TOONAMI
I think after this upcoming arc I'll lay down my feelings about what I've seen so far. I'm barely into the first full set of filler. One offs are usually pretty good and this one was slightly below their lofty average but better than a lot of what's left to come. I like Konohamaru and his friends but yeah.
For those of you keeping track at home everyone gained an episode on Sakura for most on screen appearances. The list is getting interesting.
Sasuke will appear
exactly once
EDIT: Twenty was just a feature player in the longest filler arc. Her numbers are inflated.
Wait, does Sasuke even count on this list?
I remember seeing him in an episode, it was something where
Naruo, Ino, Shino go somewhere and meet some girl who used to know Orochimaru. Something like that
I told anyone who wanted to bet on the outcome twice to not pick the sauce. He counts, I guess, but I basically remember his number exactly or close to exactly.
