Demon Slayer Thoughts

I'm 11 episodes into Demon Slayer Season 1. I know a bit about the story from spoilers, but here are my out-of-order thoughts so far. (Spoilers, of course.):

-First off, I love the art style. It's got its own thing going on and I'm just here for it. Sometimes the visuals lean into the more drawn style, sometimes in smaller scenes or details you can see some 3D/CGI/whatever it's called. And then there are the rarer scenes where you can just see where the budget went to. It's gorgeous. And the transition art is beautiful. Visually, this anime is gold.

-Second, I'm loving Tanjirou as a protagonist. He's just so kind hearted in a way that doesn't make me want to bash my head through the dry wall. I can't put my finger on what makes him different from all the other 'super kind and strong' shonen protagonists. But there is something there.

-Nezuko is adorable and really interesting. Not much personality in her current state (understandably, she's a demon and muzzled), but I'm still just as invested. Her strength and abilities, plus the whole seeing humans as her deceased family is neat. And having a female character who's strong like her and the story actually using her is refreshing. I really liked seeing the scenes with her and Lady Tamayo.

-Speaking of Lady Tamayo, I hope to see more of her character. Interesting concept, plus I love healer and science-y types. Her buddy was annoying as hell though.

-The training stuff at the beginning was dull at first but I think it got better. Turned out interesting in the end.

-I'm loving this sibling relationship that isn't weird or incest-y. I see too much of that shit and it makes me drop a show more often than not.

-I like the different and often creepy designs of the demons. It's nice to see a variety in character design.

-Final thought, Zenitsu is annoying as hell. I hate this little orange fuck.

More Demon Slayer Thoughts As I Watch

-It seems like the personality of a human gets more exaggerated and distorted when they become a demon. Things are taken to an extreme. It's neat.

-I like the use of super senses like smell or hearing in this show. It's used in a neat way, I love it.

-I think the subtle use of language when referring to demons is interesting. I noticed it after Tanjirou cut the spider demon's head off. He refers to them as people while to others, they're monsters or things.

-Yeah, yeah. Zenitsu backstory. I didn't care. They'll never make me like you Zenitsu. Never. The backstory would hit harder if he wasn't so unlikeable. I find his character archetype annoying.

-Hashiras are dicks.

-One thing I dislike about this anime is how long it feels they drag a moment out. It's driving my nuts.

-Inosuke has grown on me.

-Rehab training. Zenitsu, they will never make me like you.

-On the other hand, the little butterfly girls are adorable. They are so sweet.

-I also like how they actually included things like rehabilitation in the show. I feel like I don't see that in media much, even though the injuries in media would need it. It's a nice bit that I feel adds depth and realism to the world here.

-Again, love the butterfly girls.

-Shinobu is fascinating. The right amount of cute and creepy. The bit of backstory we get is insightful and yet leaves me wanting. She hates demons. She wants to do what her sister wanted. She's kind. She's angry. I get her and I don't. It's neat.

-Watching Kanao's back story, and the animation is really hitting well. My poor baby.

-It's also really interesting to see Shinobu in the flashback. She's much more feisty, and her older sister is more like the current-day Shinobu. I think the way it's portrayed is well done. Shown not told.

-They make all the butterfly girl's movements very floaty and quick, and I think it's neat. Also, clearly setting up the ship of Kanao and Tanjirou.

-The coin thing was really cute.

-And again, I love the three butterfly girls.

-I like trains.

-The trio Tanjirou, Inosuke, and Zenitsu have formed is great.

Overall: season 1 was great. I would have liked to see more Nezuko, but that's neither here nor there. The animation and art was brilliant and I'm eager to start the next bit.

Demon Slayer Mugen Train Thoughts As I Watch

(Movie) (Spoilers)

-I like trains.

-The demon in this arc is interesting. Because I'm the little glimpse the first season, he seemed to really like the suffering. But the attempting to kill everyone this way is almost... Humane? Giving them good dreams. It's odd and fascinating.

-I'm also curious as to why Rengoku's dream isn't as good.

-Zenitsu (little fucking bastard) 's dream was actually kinda cute and that's the nicest thing I'll ever say about him.

-Inosuke 's dream was also adorable. Nezuko was his little buddy and the others were there. The train. 10/10

-Everything about Tanjirou's dream hurt. All of it. Big ouches all around.

-Learning about the kids being sick made a lot of sense. I could condemn their actions while also feeling bad for them.

-Tanjirou's spirit and inner world being so pure is so fitting. He really is my fav besides Nezuko. Boy was so pure he gave that kid a change of heart.

-Ok, demon guy revealed he likes to change the good dreams into nightmares. Much more in line with his previous characterization. Bastard.

-My poor boy keeps having to kill himself in the dream because of this creepy fuck.

-Oh. Oh fuck. It gets worse.

-Fuck yeah! Get his ass! You know they don't blame you Boy!

-What.

-Inosuke was right the whole train is a monster.

-Rengoku is strong as hell. He's cool, smart, and determined. Nothing good is going to happen to him. I love him and yet I can already tell this is going to hurt.

-Also I hate this demon's weird fleshy tentacle things. I hate the flesh train.

-This battle is so cool. It's gorgeous and fluid and suspenseful and weird.

-Inosuke is so oddly precious. He's concerned yet still can't remember Tanjirou's name. Inosuke is fascinating. I'd love to pick his brain and backstory.

-Again, Rengoku is too great.

-The soundtrack for this Akaza flight is fucking delicious.

-Oh.

-This hurts. Please live long enough to kill this bitch.

-Nononono. No. No.

-Not the flashback of his mama. Please. I'm crying.

-Tanjirou's speech also hurts. This all hurts.

-Stand tall and be proud.

-The animation is gorgeous. Can barely see through my tears.

-Even the fucking bird is crying.

-I feel like I didn't have much to say here honestly. I've got almost a migraine and now I'm sad.

My Thoughts On Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc

(Spoilers)

-Starting off strong with Rengoku's dad being a dick and some exposition. Tanjirou is clearly going through it.

-Again, love the illustrations in between scenes.

-After some thinking, I think Rengoku's family is interesting. His father clearly has some deep issues, and Senjuro is a sweet kid. I'm not sure if they'll do anything with him but I'm intrigued.

-Also, sun breathing. I'm eager for the lore and mystery.

-Already hate Tengen. Seriously dude. What a fucking asshole. Poor butterfly girls.

-Also, a nice detail of just how scary acting on her own will is for Kanao. Recovery is a long road and it won't be easy. I hope they don't disregard it in later episodes.

-Not much for me to say on them infiltrating as women. It was fun.

-Inosuke is remarkably smart and observant at times. It's a good balance and makes me wonder how he'd be if he was properly educated.

-The nice oiran and the little girls are adorable and I love them all.

-She also says trans rights, I don't make the rules. I mean, she was just cool with it.

-Fuck you Daki.

-I still don't care about Tengen.

-Good on Rengoku's dad for apologizing.

-Tanjiro with bloody eyes is actually kinda creepy. This sun breathing fight is sick as hell.

-I am a bit pissed at the abrupt stop of the dead - ghost sister telling him to breathe and the fight ending there.

-NEVERMIND NEZUKO COMING IN CLUTCH!

-KICKED PART OF HER HEAD OFF

-THIS IS SICK AS FUCK

-The whole lullaby part has me tearing up. They really are just kids. And even if she isn't mentally herself, she is still just a little girl missing her mommy. She really doesn't get to grieve in her state or situation. And to see her turn into a little girl after crying really feels like it means something.

-I also enjoy seeing her struggle and to a degree losing against her demon instincts.

-These townspeople are gonna be so fucking traumatized.

-What.

-Again thinking about how becoming a demon seems to distort and make a person's personality more extreme.

-Tengen calling the demons dumbass bottom feeders is 10/10.

-Rengoku already haunting the narrative.

-The demon siblings and their backstory are genuinely heartbreaking. They were just kids. It's awful. Things could have been different but instead it was tragedy all the way down.

-I honestly kinda get it, as an older sibling myself. My situation was never even close to as bad, but it wasn't good. And to do your best to care for your siblings, wanting better for them, and see how you have messed up...

-I'm listening to her cry about not wanting him to hate her and I'm about to cry. I did not fucking expect to feel so much for these awful little bastards.

-I actually grew to somewhat like Tengen at the end. Not as much as others but still. Same with the Master at the end. Seeing him genuinely excited and hopeful changed my tune.

-I enjoyed the parallel? between Nezuko and Tanjiro and the demons this season. How Tanjiro acknowledges how easily they could have been in each other's shoes. It wasn't overplayed like I'd expect a lot of shows to do. Just the right balance. -And my final thought, as always, is just how good the animation was. Especially in the last few episodes.

My Thoughts On Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village Arc

(Spoilers)

-Starting off strong with beautiful animation and a proper introduction to the rest of the upper moons. All of them are quite the characters. And of course, Muzan is a dick. Who knew.

-The we get another flash back with the creepy sword guy in the last arc, along with a dude who looks like Tanjirou. Not much to bite except it's clearly important.

-My boy is awake! He's alive! And I get to see my butterfly girls!

-More sword problems. I'm sure this will end well. Smart on them for keeping the place hidden.

-Mitsuri is adorable, and when paired with Nezuko is even cuter.

-Yoriichi lore, and a sword.

-And demons. Can't forget that. One asshole became four assholes and one of them looks like he's wearing a tracksuit. Which is objectively funny.

-Also Genya has a gun. Unofficial American.

-Mitsuri is good. I've legit got flutters. We should kiss. For science.

-Also, she must have insanely good control and aim to use a sword like that accurately.

-Two things to note with the blood sword. I'm curious as to how much Nezuko understands. In some ways it feels like only a little, and others it's feels like a lot. The other thing is I'm curious if there is meaning behind the sword finally turning red when she also uses(Not quite uses it but helps) the sword. Because without her, he has no chance. And without him, she has no chance. They're two halves of a whole.

-What the hell is up with Genya.

-Another interesting sibling dynamic added. I'm into it.

-There has to be some sort of meaning in all the emotions protecting this tiny lil wimp.

-Sword guy is comically lost in the sauce.

-Sword guy is hot.

-Yet another sibling dynamic. This one also hurts. Genuinely fucked up thing to happen to these kids.

-I still fucking love Mitsuri. Her backstory is cute and in some ways oddly relatable. There's nothing to not love.

-Animation got way too beautiful something is gonna happen.

-Nezuko is in the sun, and they're currently doing a beautiful job depicting Tanjirou having a panic attack as he has to choose between his sister and the villagers.

-She's ok and now I'm crying! And she's speaking! And the villagers are helping him walk to her!

-The whole thank goodness thing is really cute. So is Mitsuri's reaction.

-My boy finally getting the appreciation he deserves.

Ello weebs, beebs, and the local geeys!

So I was in class, and I started to wonder about the things that have made me cry in the past (don't judge me), mainly movies. That eventually brought me to the conclusion of anime movies that have made me cry. But I am not sure which anime movie truly broke me, so to end this debate in my head I'm making a poll about it.

To be honest there are probably more sad anime movies I could've put into this poll, but there was not enough space. Anyway, hope to see everyone's opinions on this matter and I would also like to get more suggestions on anime movies that can make me bawl my eyes out.

Anyway! I hope everyone has a great rest of their day or night!

Also. . . vanilla extract :)
