Facing your demons takes on a whole new meaning in "Kohaku's Shard," episode 19 of Inuyasha The Final Act.
Wow, what a cliffhanger! Thank goodness for the scenes from next week,
or else I'd be a nervous Nellie waiting to find out how Kohaku fares.
The
episode starts off lightly, with another one of Inuyasha's hilarious
efforts to participate in Kagome's modern-day life. (Talk about tasting
the rainbow…) But quickly we're knee deep in danger on the other side
of the well, as Magatsuhi rears his deviously ugly head, Sesshomaru
handles a trickster, and Rin and Miroku suffer the consequences. There
are a couple more things that I'm not even going to dare to give away,
or else I'd suffer the consequences.

appearance?

We all know Kanon Wakeshima as the voice behind the closing anime theme songs "Still Doll" from Vampire Knight and "Suna No Oshiro" from Vampire Knight Guilty; both coming soon from Shojo Beat. This talented singer and cellist bopped around the U.S. last year, inspiring fans with her haunting melodies and fantastic fashion. If you happened to miss her shows, you get the luxury of a do-over. Amoeba Records has posted a video of Kanon Wakeshima's July 2009 in-store performance in San Francisco. Check it out, and let us know what you think.
