it's really hard to imagine ufotable botching the job as hard as studio pierrot did with black clover
Ufotable can be accused of many things, but "not being a tryhard" is not one of them.

I'm legitimately super pumped over the adaptation now with the ufotable announcement, especially since it essentially means a seasonal schedule. Sometimes good things happen to good series :unsmith:

Someone with a posh, kinda feminine voice so you can get a voice that SHOULD match how pretty he is but instead that voice is constantly screaming"Pig Assault!"

I'm really interested to see how the anime turns out. Ufotable if anything, can do sword combat.

This manga is good and fun and feels like if D Gray Man were moved to japan and didn't have the worst power creep I've ever seen in a manga.

Man, talk about a blast from the past. Wasn't that in WSJ at some point during the 14 years or so it's been in and out of hiatus?

Sleep, rest, do your best.
D Gray Man was in WSJ until it took an extended hiatus and when it came back in a different Jump magazine the art style had completely changed to look more josei, which I actually liked. I tried reading it to see what happened and it was incomprehensible because a bunch of stuff was totally different and I didn't remember what had happened after the Noah fight in the tower aside from I think all the good guys bases got destroyed and all of japan was demons??

I won't give anything away, but I would just like to say that after the latest chapter I just don't know if there exists a boy more pure or innocent than Tanjirou.

Genya is part of the "new torso holes" club from last week. Also apparently part demon somehow?

I just think it's interesting because Nezuko is a unique presence in the Demon Slayers what with being a full-fledged demon herself. You think there would have been more of a stink raised if Genya was even part demon.

well, until now half-demons weren't really a thing. i'm not sure if that's what genya is, even. it doesn't quite fit with how demons have worked thus far.

Gotouge does a pretty good job of making you feel bad for most of the major demons. The spider kid is pretty heinous but the ending after he dies and his parents' spirits literally come to comfort him and willingly go to hell with him is really affecting.

you pity them for what they became. once they started eating people, their memories faded and they became brutal caricatures of their past selves.
