They'd go through an apprenticeship period first before anything like that, but regardless, despite his cool demeanor I believe he's just not thinking clearly RN out of concern for his wives.

I mean the Demon Slayers are contemporary with the rise of Bolshevism so... why not?

So the plan is to deprive the demons of targets by causing entirely avoidable famines brought about by a mix of agricultural incompetence among political appointees and deliberate withholding of food from unwanted population groups?

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:So I haven't seen the new stuff in Season 2 yet, but I don't think I've ever hated a group of characters that I think I'm "supposed" to like more than the Hashira. To me, they were introduced in the worst way possible... a buncha one-dimensional characters who treated Tanjiro and Nezuko like garbage, and are extremely two-faced about the Master they supposedly love and adore. And to be honest, all it would take for me to open up the door to liking them, is for them to just apologize. But I feel like I'm already supposed to just like them, so I don't think I'll ever get the satisfaction of seeing them own up to their mistakes. Even Rengoku only said he was sorry seconds before he died. I mean, I'm still mad at them for hating on Nezuko, and really only think Shinobu and whatsisface the guy who found Tanjiro are okay. It's not a big old negative or anything, and their reasoning for it makes a fair bit of sense, but even beyond the Hashira, the characters in this series are quirky and outlandish to the point of rubbing me the wrong way a lot of the time. Not like "I hate this show" wrong way but more like "And nothing of value was lost if they were to die" the wrong way. Like Zenitsu!

I'm rooting for the swordsmiths, personally. No crime in this manga is greater than when Inosuke took a couple of rocks to his brand new sword in front of the dude.

I really, really hope they do what they should've done with The Promised Neverland and put some breathing room back in into the KNY anime. You could feel the premature cancellation of both series in the back half and I'd love to know about a couple of dropped plot points in here. But evidently I don't understand how the anime industry works because I am utterly baffled by what happened to TPN. I have no explanation. There was so much money to be made from a proper adaptation.

You could probably add like a hundred chapters to the manga without it feeling like filler at all. So many characters and plots to potentially explore. So yeah, I hope the author has some input in this and they add some new material as well

The anime original pre-movie episode was pretty good, and gives me hope that they intend to at least partially fill out the back half. That would be very nice.

The popular hearsay that I keep seeing is that they were told they were getting one more season and that's it, and then instead of doing a cour's worth of good adaptation and banking on the reception being good enough to change people's minds, they just... tried to cram it all in there

I hadn't heard those rumors, but what I did see from announcements was that the TPN author was on-board for rewriting S2 as an anime-original storyline, which rather than because of lack of a possible 3rd season I assumed they were doing because TPN just kinda falls apart after the fantastic Goldy Pond arc (which the anime skipped entirely lmao). As for KnY, the manga holds up even with the author choosing to end it prematurely, and given its massive explosion in popularity I have little doubt it'll get adapted in full. Ufotable is certainly elevating the original work, so it'd be nice if the last arc was fleshed out a little more like how we got Rengoku's episode, but wholesale filler arcs seems a much more remote possibility.

If I remember correctly, an advert announced the final arc of the KNY manga in February of 2019, the anime started in April 2019, and then it loving exploded. It's apparently very unusual for an anime to elevate its manga to that degree but since the wheels had already started turning, Jump had no choice but to follow through.

I’m sure everyone ITT is aware, but there are legitimately few industries more merciless and cutthroat that monthly manga production. If you don’t almost immediately start trending upwards towards the big dawgs then you basically are DOA. I haven’t read the manga (of anything, ever, lol) but the visual rhythm of the show and it’s frenetic and energy-driven pacing are the reason the battles carry so much emotional weight. I could easily see this directorial approach elevating the otherwise completely by-the-books plotline

It also wasn't cancelled, that's hearsay. Sometimes a writer wants to wrap things up faster for personal reasons, and so they cut off some loose ends and speed up the pacing. In the case of KnY, nothing screams "was suddenly cancelled" but rather "wants to rush to the conclusion". It also wasn't unpopular or anything before it ended, though yeah it didn't get massively popular until the anime aired as it was in its final arc.

Lots of newbies I was genuinely enjoying got cancelled before the 20th chapter, before they could even get to the plots they wanted to tell, and it sucks every time. It wasn't the case for KnY which managed to get to an ending, but god reading Shonen Jump new manga can be really sad because they may get cancelled at any moment.

The reasons were never officially confirmed but heavily speculated on by Japanese tabloids. The rumors were it was family issues that were serious enough that the author had to move home from Tokyo, with the implication we may not see another real work from them for a long time. Dunno how much I buy that. Arakawa took long breaks due to giving birth twice and then having her parents become seriously ailing and then die one after the other, and she's back with a new series again.

There's also talk that the greater Aniplex+ufotable megalith having cozied up to the author in an attempt to grease the runway for any follow up works she might have cooking If that's true, for everyone involved's sake, hopefully any follow up she makes turns out to be more of a Maison Ikkoku and less of a Samurai 8 That being said, if they want to milk Kimetsu with just spinoffs and whatnot for however long, it'd be easy to do so. I bet those comics by the guy who does Fate/Type Redline are pretty good, he's a good rear end artist
