ben0119 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Tanjuro can't possibly be that out of touch to not know what a train is. People don't believe in demons? What? But they are clearly killing people left and right. That doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then how come he keeps making romantic promises to her? Just accept that you're wrong on this one. I've watched every episode that Toonami's shown. He went out to town or something and she was taking care of his siblings and she was the only one who survived, albeit as a demon. This is a love story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 5 minutes ago, mochi said: DEMON SLAYERS AREN'T RECOGNIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT?!! Yeah that was baffling. And they wouldn't believe them about the demons either? I hope that meant they wouldn't believe demons are on the train. Because if everyday people don't believe in demons when they have been killing people left and right (and was said it's getting worse now,) that makes no sense.

Well... if Demarco either can't or won't get it... I'm not going to miss it just because of that. It covers manga content and it looks great! And it's on a train! Overlapping interests for me!

The1gairon Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Demon Slayer ended and I'm not gonna lie, even though I enjoyed my time commenting here during the broadcast, the anime was underwhelming. Other than the animation and the imaginative character designs, these are things I could just find in anime like InuYasha. Fans severely overhyped it. Nezuko's moments could just be witnessed in online memes and images and gifs, and you would probably wouldn't miss a thing if you skipped on the anime! THe pacing was god-awful to the point where we only just meet the Avengers-esque badass group of heroes 4/5 of the way in, Tanjiro being a harem protagonist is a trait that isn't introduced until the last damn episode, Zenitsu and Inosuke screamed my fuckin ear off, Zenitsu's backstory could've been paced over several episodes instead of feeding us a backstory that took up most of one episode, missions are assigned via a crow that just flies in whenever the story calls for it instead of evolving organically, the demon hierarchy and biology doesn't make total sense, and the last 3 episodes is spent recovering from injuries and training. No major climactic battle. Edited May 3, 2020 by elfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps even 7 or 8; as ideally the Mugen Train arc of the series would be interspersed with new content you couldn't actually see in the movie if they go that route. Alternatively, they could go the route SAO took and completely skip over the movie in the series. Or they could go somewhere in-between and condense the events in the movie into just 1 or 2 episodes. It will be interesting to see how the franchise handles this! And last but not least, believe it or not, we actually DO have an English-dubbed teaser for the Mugen Train movie!

No major climactic battle. It was definitely overhyped. It was better than Fireforce but it's no where near MHA level. It's a mid tier solid anime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major climactic battle. I thought Tanjuro and Nezuko were likable and charming, and their relationship was adorable. Nezuko slept way too much and didn't do enough. I feel Nezuko at least was overhyped, but only because she isn't nearly as present as she should be. Hey, don't downplay InuYasha. I see Zenitsu being hit or miss for people. He seems to always be upset and freaking out about things, and has a ton of complexes and phobias, cowardly, scared of spiders, hates medicine, girl crazy, hates hard work, was only able to master one technique, sleep fights, etc. I did like how those girls at Kocho's place told Zenitsu to treat women with kindness and respect and the way he answered solemnly "yes" makes me think he will change how he acts around women now haha.  Inosuke is funny because he is basically just this clueless guy who just cares about fighting and challenging people. It feels like maybe the author thought the story was too serious and depressing, so these two were introduced. How much comedy was there really before that? I mostly enjoyed them but true they could be annoying at times and I think the original tone of the show was fine. The pacing was quick but not rushed and well done in the beginning. We have a time skip past Tanjuro's 2 years of training and I was fine with it, since we saw all the fundamentals and important stuff. After a while it then got bafflingly slow, I agree. And yes ending on cool down, recovery and training was odd. They should have probably waited to cover the next arc when it was done, or end right after the spider battle? I don't know, the anime didn't pick a good stopping point. But, My Hero Academia has done this at least twice with its seasons, I think? I can't remember if it did it with the first one, though. Eh, the crow is no more random than the encounters the Yasha Gang would have. They would wander into a village having a problem, or someone asks them for help, or get randomly attacked. Plus, the show also gives off vibes of Kekkaishi and I like the crows for that. And the crow is hilarious! Waiting til the last moment to introduce the Hashira and then barely see any of them do anything is odd. I think, yeah, this anime should have waited until there were more arcs to cover. To be fair, Tanjuro did not interact with many women before that, and Tamayo is a bit old for him. It did feel strange to wait to so long to show him off as a charmer, though, I agree, heh. Yeah the demons are confusing. I originally thought that getting attacked by a demon and surviving would turn you into a demon, but apparently Muzan is the one and only original demon and only he can turn people into demons? So does that mean he personally attacked Tanjuro's family and turned his sister? That seems like a bit much. But wait, that's not right, Tamayo was turning people into demons! And what the hell was Muzan doing to the demons after he killed them last episode?! It's so confusing. Would re-watching the show help?! That said I still greatly enjoyed the show and feel the story, writing, and characters were mostly done well, and look forward to more!

And yet you see figures and toys made out of it!?!? ASS BALLS! Tanjiro's and Nezuko's relationship was by far the best thing about it. I really felt that they will go to the ends of the earth for each other and preserve the one remaining shred of their lineage that is still around. The beginning of the show was a lot more serious and morose, but again, most of InuYasha was just like that anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
