Some tidbits from the September Issue of Animage
"Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon" script writer Katsuyuki Sumisawa revealed why he picked the idea of 03 protagonists. He was told by 'Shounan Bakusouzoku' author Satoshi Yoshida that the number of protagonists an odd number (3 or 5) is better to unfold the story.

Sumisawa then recalled some successful works he participated in "Dragon Ball Z", "Sailor Moon" and "New Mobile Suit Gundam W" are all odd protagonists.
After Kagome's return, the Bone-Eater's Well was closed, so in order to integrate "time travel" element, they picked Takahashi-sensei's setting of "the well is made from Sacred Tree's wood" in the first movie. That's not in the manga tho, so they discussed with her several times.
Did he also decide for all of them to be girls? Because that's based.
The two daughters setting was picked because if there's only one, the staff will spoil the character, and the two can stand against each other naturally to unfold the story. However, to avoid repeating siblings with age differences (Sessho-Inu), the idea of twins is adopted.
From the beginning, it's considered the protagonist were sons, but it'd be meaningless that a story of "sons working hard to surpass their father" which has already been told in "Inuyasha", so this time it's naturally set to be a girl-leading story.

Hopefully we get another translation that clears up more things as well
>The two daughters setting was picked because if there's only one, the staff will spoil the character, and the two can stand against each other naturally to unfold the story.
This is kinda funny.
Some user came in the last thread claiming that in the interview, they stated they choose girls because if they were sons, they'd be abused by Inuyasha and Sesshomaru too much.
Thanks!
I don't know if he came up with it all himself. Takahashi may have played a hand in the decision as well
>they stated they choose girls because if they were sons, they'd be abused by Inuyasha and Sesshomaru too much.
Call me crazy, but I think the people behind this anime actually know what they are doing. I think I might actually enjoy it.
How involved is Rumiko in this?
Character designer, supervisor, helped with the script.
Enough for me, I'm in.
yes
She also made the premise of the story.
I'm willing to see how much of a factor time travel/open worlds will play a huge role in sequel and how modern world/present involvement will be.
>tfw the Inuyasha wiki is still in denial that Rin is the mother of Sesshomaru’s kids cause of the pedo element
No matter how much I change the wiki they keep changing it back even though I have so much information that she is indeed the mother of Towa and Setsuna. I’ll wait for the anime to drop and for the anime to straight out say that Rin is indeed the mother and they’ll seethe and I’ll laugh at their faces.
>wiki
You're wasting time with those fucks anyway.
Did you miss this post here, where it's actually stated why the choose daughters and not sons
Also, why the fuck would Inuyasha and Sesshomaru abuse their kids? I know that Inuyasha knocks kids on the head who get on his nerve, but I don't think he'd do anything to his own.
Do they all have male love interests?
Judging Takahashi's previous works, they probably will, yes.
So far, just Hisui, unless they introduce Koga's son as a character later on.
As involved as Toriyama was in Super i.e. not very outside some designs and script approvals. Basically the story and characters are from Sunrise the designs and premise are from her. Take that as you will.
>Do they all have male love interests?
Depends on how Rumiko wants it's a huge possibility.
Except for the fact that she came up with the basic story, and is telling Sumisawa how to write the episode scripts
>Except for the fact that she came up with the basic story
Wrong
Sunrise came to her with the story. This entire sequel was conceived by them not her.
>and is telling Sumisawa how to write the episode scripts
Please stop talking out your ass.
The story and characters were conceived by Sunrise you fucking idiot they only went to Takahashi for the designs and her blessings. Her involvement with the sequel isn't going to go beyond a few yes's and no's because she's never been that involved with the Inuyasha anime production. Given how much of a fucking bitch she was to Oshii over the improvements he made to that piece of shit manga UY do you really think she would be happy with the shit Sunrise did with Inuyasha if she cared that much?
>they picked Takahashi-sensei's setting of "the well is made from Sacred Tree's wood" in the first movie
I KNEW IT
I had a feeling that's why the tree was in the preview. Good thing the first movie's actually kind of decent
>so in order to integrate "time travel" element, they picked Takahashi-sensei's setting of "the well is made from Sacred Tree's wood" in the first movie.
That's retarded.
Toriyama was heavily involved on the script of Super though? You are thinking in GT where he came up with the designs and setting and let the studio do the fuck they wanted with the story.
That doesn't sound very appealing...
You missed that first Animage interview where she herself revealed her involvement, do you even keep up with the news? Fucking newfag.
These. Anyone's saying that Takahashi has a huge role in this sequel is deluding themselves hoping this is going to be good despite everything saying the contrary. If she wanted to make a sequel she would have done so years ago.
>Toriyama was heavily involved on the script of Super though?
He only gave the outline but wasn't involved with the script writing process. His outline for the Zamasu arc was changed several times in production and was mostly different in the anime, the manga is more true to his original outline.
>You missed that first Animage interview where she herself revealed her involvement
Yeah as an original character designer and script consultant, that's it. Everything else is being handled by Sunrise.
>Sunrise: Hey Takahashi-sensei we want to make an Inuyasha sequel and want your blessing
>Takahashi: Okay
Sunrise: Yashuhime is a sequel with the original mangaka in the production!
Every time.
>Rumiko Takahashi said that they are not there because one night they faced something. [The story of Yashahime she created was already in her head]
Cool horseshit bro
>All interviews have been of Sumisawa and not Takahashi herself
Uh-huh
It's from the Animage interview you fucktard.
Or are you just upset that Rin is the mother of the twins?
>[The story of Yashahime she created was already in her head]
So why didn't she make a manga out of it?
Too busy with RINE and meow
