The series has a lot of tone shifts but they never feel wrong, so to speak. The comedy is great, the darkness is fuckin dark, the violence is violent. There's a lot of flying limbs and heads in this series and some particularly gory moments. Also, Tanjirou is a very good boy.

Tanjiro is and continues to be a very good boy to the point it's his greatest strength. His empathy runs unbelievably deep and it gets to even his enemies consistently, because demons are basically brutal caricatures of the people they used to be.

Watching this on Hulu and it's a great adaptation really. The only problem is that it's a bit slow to start out- I think it's better after the final selection is over and finally hits its full stride at Drum House. I did notice for some reason it has an [adult swim] brand on it when I'm watching it from Hulu. That happen for all anime on Hulu?

The fights have all been pretty dope so far in the anime. Ufotable is in fact delivering on their expertise here, which makes me happy and hopeful for later arcs.

Tanjiro's empathy for even the demons is again his best feature and a great emotional hook for the story.

If it wasn't obvious everyone who passed is relevant at some point but it takes a while for some. I wish we could see one of them in particular fight because their style so to speak is awesome and is something you'd be like "oh yeah, why wouldn't you do that?" In reaction to. Remember that this is very specifically NOT ancient warring states Japan. It's Taisho era, 1912-1926.

Man Ufotable did some gorgeous area shots in the last part of this episode. They even managed to make the autogenerated crowds look decent and differentiated. Also Muzan is probably the most terrifying villain in Jump right now. He's great and you've only started to see what he's capable of.

Many of the stronger demons are as mentioned, brutal caricatures of the people they used to be. Basically whatever drove them in life gets twisted into what drives them as demons- for good or ill as it was. Some were monsters before they became demons, some are horrific, tragic victims of circumstance. Their forms and powers tend to reflect their personalities.

Muzan is a really good villain. Also we're finally starting to break into proper demon mooks instead of the wimpier feral demons. The production continues to be fantastic. Godwilling it lasts while Ufotable is uh, being investigated for tax evasion

The water is metaphorical. Basically the sword styles from the breaths emphasize the techniques- all of the Water Breath styles are these adjustable, flowing techniques. If it wasn't obvious from the opening there's a breath of lightning, and it works exactly how you'd imagine it. Also this adaption continues to be fantastic.

The answer is that he didn't pass the final selection process for nothing. He's just missing that "borderline insane" trait that shonen heroes have to not think things are hosed when they were well and truly hosed.

To be honest when this was possibly going to be adapted I had no clue who could do it justice, but Ufotable is basically THE best fit because their whole thing is dope sword fights and KnY's swordplay is entirely techniques based on element/animal metaphors covered with artistic flourish. It's basically artistic license for them to go nuts.

The series doesn't forget this stuff and actually does some really wild callbacks to it at points. It's not particularly elegant about it however since they don't foreshadow any of it coming back... It just kinda, happens

They really wanted to open with Tanjirou vs Inosuke for some reason for next episode. I guess it has to do with where they very specifically want to end.

Man modern anime productions really despise using actual narrators don't they? I guess they did try harder to sort of explain it in context but the point of that attack at the end is that it's designed to kill demons painlessly- but it only works when they offer their own necks willingly.

Inosuke getting incredibly angry about being influenced by Tanjiro and the others is somehow always funny.

Part of the problem is that there is no narrator, where the manga has a ton of narration explaining anything important.

Next episode is gonna be great, I dunno if they'll get to one of my favorite parts of the manga in it but it's either this coming episode or the next one. The stuff that's definitely in the next episode is good though too.

I guess they're solving the no narrator problem with filler material that negates the need for one. Makes sense I guess?

Lt. Lizard posted:sigh... of course Rui gets half of an episode for his tragic backstory, a moment of pity from good-boy Tanshiro and implied forgiveness in afterlife, because I guess he shown a regret in literally last second he spent living on this earth? The chapter's name for this episode is very specifically: "To Hell".   Also- becoming a demon makes you forget your life as a human and the degree to which that happens seems to be inversely connected to your power. Most feral demons are barely human mentally and are weak, the weaker demons are basically caricatures of what they used to be (i.e. the ball demon just remembered she liked to play, the former lower moon has vague memories of his writings/drum playing, etc), lower moons have decent but clearly manipulated/misinterpreted memories of their lives as humans, etc. Fabricated fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Aug 25, 2019 |

Someone said it and I think it's accurate that the series is mostly people telling Tanjirou to stop being such a good boy and empathising with demons or they'll end up killing him, then him continuing to be a good boy anyway

The idea as to why the Pillars 100% refuse to trust Nezuko even with guarantees from Ubuyashiki is because in their extensive experience they've flat out never seen a demon that hasn't eventually eaten someone. The Fire Pillar has the best point that even if she seems to be special the moment she eats someone all the promises for suicide mean nothing, because the innocent person she eats can't be brought back by others killing themselves. Also another weird tidbit that the lack of narration skips over is that Ubuyashiki has his own kind of special ability in that his voice is referred to as "pink noise"- it seems to instantly create a calming sensation in anyone who hears it, which is part of why he can subdue the Pillars so easily.

Alfredo Jones posted:Just caught up with this show after watching a video on it by Mother's Basement, and I can see why this show is getting such praise. Amazing production values, great cast, and Nezuko is just the sweetest little cinnamon bun. But man did that last episode leave off on such a dickish tease. I'm honestly debating whether or not to pick up the manga just to see what's going to happen next. Just in case, does anyone know what chapter of the manga we're at now?

The next big scene after the recovery arc here is really good because it features something I don't recall ever really happening in a Shonen I recall reading.
