Since ancient times, rumors have abounded of man-eating demons lurking in the woods. Because of this, the local townsfolk never venture outside at night. Legend has it that a demon slayer also roams the night, hunting down these bloodthirsty demons. For young Tanjirou, these rumors will soon to become his harsh reality...

Ever since the death of his father, Tanjirou has taken it upon himself to support his family. Although their lives may be hardened by tragedy, they've found happiness. But that ephemeral warmth is shattered one day when Tanjirou finds his family slaughtered and the lone survivor, his sister Nezuko, turned into a demon. To his surprise, however, Nezuko still shows signs of human emotion and thought...

Thus begins Tanjirou's quest to fight demons and turn his sister human again.

The real powerful moment isn't the Muzan intro but when Tanjirou tells the guy that the only thing to deal with things is to keep moving. When he lashes out at Tanjirou, despite all the horror he went through losing his family, he doesn't miss a beat and forgives him instantly because he understands he's hurting and wishes him well. Because Tanjirou is a good boy.

:same:

It's a common theme of how Tanjirou encourages people to continue living and fighting day by day. He's the bestest boy.

Most of the VA's in this series even for minor characters are fairly big names.

Nezuko had a pretty notable actress and she only got like one line that was not grunts and growls.

Anyway Rui's voice actor is Kouki Uchiyama who is indeed Meruem and Tomura Shigaraki.

thanks, I realized I'm playing another game where he's the MC and that's why it's super familiar. Both characters are very different though.

There's lore reasons for Nezuko to be inside the box but I still wish she would show up more in the series. I feel like the manga is ending soon so yeah.

Anything else by Ufotable I should check out? Preferably something on one of the major streaming platforms. I have Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu.

Tales of Zesteria X based off ToZ game had nice animation even if the story went nowhere.

The only problem I have with the younger butterfly girl is that they are telegraphing "future Tanjiro love interest" slightly too hard.

Don't worry there's no time for love when there's demons to hunt. Also, this the rare shonen where is no contrived LI.

I'm so excited for the movie and this was a great adaptation. I half expected a S2 announcement at the ever end since it's so popular v:v:v

why doesn't butterfly lady give the magic demon-slaying poison to the entire demon slayer corps

IIRC it's because it's experimental and you needed years of taking it over time to be effective for demons. Also, you needed the demon to eat the person for max effectiveness.

It really cannot be overstated how much Jump completely hosed up if it was their decision to give the 'wrap it up' signal.

Now it's years later idm the ending and I'm just glad it had one in time. Just the epilogue was and continues to be super awk.

I just watched the movie and I forgot how much I miss Tanjiro from the anime.

Yeah, that ending was pretty true to the manga I feel like the main theme was that Rengoku probably knew on some level this would be his last fight and still did his best knowing he'd die. The final speech made me cry (again) since the VA did a great job with the trio and Rengoku himself in the movie.

Yes I totally watched the entire ending sequence to hear Giyu's one-line voiced.
