Been binging this series over the last month or two, and went to see the movie over the weekend as a belated birthday gift for my wife. I don't know a lot about anime, but I think this is good anime?

My biggest takeaway from the movie is that it might be time for me to look into some sort of sound system for our TV at home. Maybe it's because this was my first time in a theater in a year and a half, or because our TV is a decade old, but drat did this movie sound real good in the theater.

I liked the movie a lot so I'm down to watch it again and be sad again.

Had a revelation during the most recent episode that Zenitsu reminds me of Butters from South Park, at least the Zenitsu who is constantly having a panic attack.

One of my favorite animation derails in this show is how chunky the tears look. Casually losing 5% of my bodyweight in water every time I cry, no big deal.

It's called the "Entertainment District" because this season will IMO be very entertaining!

I don't think you're supposed to like Tengan at first, what with the whole kidnapping young women to conscript them into going undercover as entertainers/"entertainers".

I mentioned it before but I love how chunky the tears are in this show. If tears were that big IRL you'd die of dehydration if you cried too much.

Finally started the current season, I'm way into Genya and his demon-slaying sawed-off.

Also very much looking forward to the Akaza face turn/anti-hero turn that feels heavily implied from that opening scene.

What makes you think Akaza is going to turn?

The part where he told Upper One "I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do"? :v: Jokes aside, he seems extremely miffed by his co-workers, even beyond the usual trope of anime bad guys not liking each other. I'm guessing he is physically incapable of harming Muzan but I could see him picking up an assist in (I assume) a future fight against Two or One.

At the very least, from a storytelling perspective I don't think you show him off "out of order" if he's just another bad guy. Why select him for a dope-rear end fight scene with Rengoku if not to set him apart from all of the other assholes? Just a hunch, I promise I haven't read the manga.

Can't wait for Genya to become the first Gun Hashira when this is all over.

I forgot how much of the backstory involves child death.

My wife claims that this show is about family dynamics, but I maintain that it's about how much trauma you'd actually have to go through in order to be an anime teen badass.

Worked extremely well for Batman after all.

It's why Rengoku couldn't close the deal against Akaza - he "only" had to deal with his mother dying young and his dad becoming a deadbeat. Maybe if his brother had died too he could have pulled it off.

Everyone knows that you can't give socks as a gift until the recipient is at least 30 years old. That's when it becomes something that they actually want to get.

Really is a shame that Gotouge decided to do away with the comic's early narrative that hard work trumps talent like this

I'll always love the inherent pettiness of Muzan's backstory.. He gets granted a miracle with two specific catches, and it's the profoundly lesser of those two that he obsesses over curing.. Because he finds not being able to do whatever he wants to be humiliating. Just the biggest piece of poo poo.
