Yeah, a Tengen arc is not the arc where I would have expected them when we first met him, but they kinda fit somehow! lol Edited June 16, 2024 by DangerMouse 1 1
ben0119 Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 Hinatsuru! One waifu rescued! A belt? Isn't it more of a sash? Well, I'm sure it has a specific name. Why would you take the belt from her?! The sword is already chipped! 1
ben0119 Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 BURN! SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE! Defensive falling technique is a good way of putting it. 😄 Raising your body temperature helps you to fight? How?? 2

DangerMouse Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 Makio pretty much talking just like Shinobu about physical strength 2
saito34 Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 Wow.. I guess I assumed Hashira translated to Demon Slayer, slayer, or something along those lines but it actually means "pillar" in Japanese. Pretty cool. 3
DangerMouse Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 Guess we gotta enjoy this fighting style for the short time that we can given what happens in this fight... 1 1
ben0119 Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 (edited) Tengen with some great "orders" here. Glad he got the wives to change their minds. Head pats for Makio and Suma. 😁 Damn ending outta nowhere after Tengen's posing. 🤣 Polygamist ninjas. 🤣 Edited June 23, 2024 by ben0119 1
DangerMouse Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 I see someone gif'd it. Still creepy as fuck cliffhanger. 2 1

I had seen a line of thought going around that Demon Slayer is a bad series only held up by its animation, which I don't agree with AT ALL. Sure it's made some mistakes and has some weak areas, but the story and characters are done well for the most part. I think one of the strongest aspects is the sense of danger and struggle, suspense etc. The victories that do happen feel very hard-won and earned. Edited June 23, 2024 by ben0119 2

I think one of the strongest aspects is the sense of danger and struggle, suspense etc. The victories that do happen feel very hard-won and earned. I had this exact conversation with someone online after watching this arc last year, where I said DS was a very high quality shonen anime for all the reason you mentioned and of course he disagreed and called it average. I honestly don't know if these people just like to play devils advocate, but I cant see how you can call it average or nothing special. For a shonen in particular, I think it does a lot of things incredibly well and with all those things combined, it's hard to deny that it's a way above average show. I specifically mentioned the battles and how they are intricately coordinated, beautifully animated and feel impactful. The writing is no slouch either. It does shonen style battles and systems better than 95% of stuff you see today and holds up against the greats. It might not be an all time great but it's up their on the list imo. Top 20 definitely and probably higher for pure shonen. Edited June 23, 2024 by saito34 2 2
OwlChemist81 Posted June 23, 2024 Author Posted June 23, 2024 Well, I was right about the OP being cut short tonight, when the episode premieres got moved down to 12:30 with the premiere of Ninja Kamui! Watch it there, Tanjiro, you were still hurt! 1
OwlChemist81 Posted June 23, 2024 Author Posted June 23, 2024 Interestingly enough, "ukemi" was translated, but some other choice Japanese phrases remained!

Yeah, she is, even aside from the flower tattoos on the face, for some reason don't really care for tattoos let alone such prominent ones. But still....damn girl! But also, yeah, she's also such a beeyotch! Edited June 24, 2024 by DangerMouse 1

Top 20 definitely and probably higher for pure shonen. Yeah, I have some quibbles with how some characters are handled, like Nezuko (though she had a good showing in this arc,) but things are mostly well-executed. As just one example, the fights have a real sense of peril and danger. If Tanjiro or anyone else gets seriously injured in a fight, it can take them a long time to recover and it may affect their performance in future fights. Characters we thought were invincible and would be a part of the action going forward, might die or be permanently injured, like Rengoku and Tengen. So, there's no healing up just like new for the next fight, as you often see in other Shonens.
