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

The demons really are intended to be ghoulish, single minded caricatures of humans, and thats a constant through the series that im really appreciating.

Hey theres that trademark Pillar sass in the face of death
Is there a requirement for a pillar to have that

i'm not really sure how his epiphany about being nice to people and his memories where he was very kind and gentle as a child lead to this.

He's not actively being malicious, he's just earnestly saying what he thinks.

I dunno he does sound a tad ruder in English than he did in Korean.

he said what he thought when back when he had amnesia too. it's just that what he said revealed he was kind of a dick.

looks nice. hopefully the anime fixes some of the problems with the beginning of the manga since that's by far the weakest point

I like Tanjirou's design, but isn't Nezuko supposed to be both very beautiful and somewhat unkempt?

Nezuko's appearance changes as she transforms; she has her tiny form when she goes into her box, then a regular form, then her hair seems to kinda flare outward as she goes full demon.

I think she generally looks less kempt in the manga but it could be simplifying her design for the anime.

I really want to see what ufotable does with the series.

her hair is necessarily less detailed in that design, so the result is that it looks neat instead of disheveled.

Nezuko changes a lot
When shes doing the full demon burning blood thing she ages up
but reverts to adorable blob in downtime

and then theres degrees inbetween

Kanroji Mitsuri is the coolest and I hope she doesn't have like some secret dark personality or whatever and she's just always that bubbly even in the face of death

Until now none of the Pillars have been lovely people, just a few exceptions of abrasive assholes (muiichiro, Genyas brother). And theyve always been incredibly themselves in the face of death.
I think Ive already posted it before but, it seems the type of person to be chosen as a pillar isnt going to chosen just based on fighting ability, but also on emotional strength and will, so exactly the opposite type of person who would embrace demonhood.

And since the demons are the ones that serve as the emotional foils of the story I dont think that will change. I hope so at least.

At some point I think she will because a while back in the story Muzan realizes that Nezuko has broken the connection between him and her- meaning that even though he was responsible for her becoming a demon he can't control her, sense her, or read her thoughts in the way he can do so with the Moons or his other direct creations. So I imagine Nezuko will completely kick the desire to consume flesh/blood and become more like herself.

she hasn't kicked it, though. whenever she taps deep into her instant regeneration demon power nezuko gets closer to chowing down.

Mangadex is cool but I figure it'll run it of money and die like most of the better intentioned readers.
