Shion definitely was epic, but yes if Gabimaru's wife is just an illusion and his whole aim for his motivation doesn't even exist that would be a huge plot twist, I'm all in now, really curious about what's next so I'm looking forward to seeing 2nd season, too bad it wasn't directly 2 cours back to back it would make much more sense because most of this season was just the prologue so nothing too outstanding until the late episodes

Oh man… that twist about Gabimaru’s wife was like a punch to the gut! If she isn’t real that will really break my heart πŸ’”

I enjoyed this season but I thought there were parts that were a bit drawn out and didn’t need to be. Overall though I loved the mystery of Shinsenkyou and the brilliant characters!

this feels like the author read the premise of HxH’s Dark Continent, and decided to make his own shallow version of it. Only problem the characters & dialogue sucks ass 

it also suffers from the Demon Slayer syndrome of inner monologues that dumps useless info and flashbacks that kills the pacing.
What happened to actually developing a good character instead of giving everyone these boring ass “sad” backstories

i think the Anime did a great job so far with 1to1 taking the mange and putting it into the Anime.
I hope they address the parts that were left out for the start of the second season.

The only gripe for me is the visual style from time to time. Some parts look good, others are pretty weak. Anyone who would like to see how good the Artstyle is supposed to look, take a peak into the manga.

Well, I'm glad the final episode didn't even pretend to be a series finale. I would've been livid if an S2 wasn't announced.

What a souless and mediocre battle shonen. It takes the most common tropes of older shows like the use of chi and how their protagonists leran how to use it in the heat of the battle, in the most jarring ways with long infodumps.

People love to spite on shows that made a name of their own like Demon Slayer by reducting it's core to just being amazingly well animated. But the truth is that Demon Slayer knew how to become quite enjoyable by being straight forward in it's presentation with breath taking visuals and a rather small cast of endearing characters in it's beginning. This show did the opposite by introducing as many "cannon fodder" characters with nothing but endlessly boring flashbacks (not to mention the heavy reuse of animation cuts) that it's almost impossible to care for them in the long run, with an of exemption like Tenza and his master.

I'm not interested in a second season, so I'll cut my losses here.

This is how battle shounen should be written.


With mind numbing exposition, cardboard souless protagonists, recycled animation and overuse of flashbacks that only disrupt the story flow? Good lord, no!

Has you ever heard about Demon Slayer before it was animated? Let me answer for you. No you did not.

Had you heard of Hell Paradise before it was animated? Yeah one of the best new manga.

Demon Slayer is LITERALLY carried by its animation. Beautiful death, then beautiful death once again and what next? Oh beautiful death?

Wow, you formed a group with some rookies. What your mom/dad is dead AND was very powerful? Also I forgot there are some top members on the good side, and Surprise Surprise, there are some top members in the bad group. The good side's leader is good and the bad side's leader is bad. And every time you kill the bad guy a flashback comes and now he is bad because of "reasons"? "

So Nurugai's Tao is to share it with others and energize them.

Damn, they actually beat a Tensen. Shion is a beast. Also, thanks to Senta's analysis they managed to pull it off. Rip Senta.

Boi, ain't no way Gabimaru's wife and all of his motivation just faded away with the overuse of tao. This is definitely a stretch and too risky of a plot twist. So Tao has a ton of drawbacks too. Something similar is going on with Aza Chobei.

A new Asaemon is being dispatched to the island. Is he rank 1 Asaemon or something? Well, gotta wait for S2 I guess.

This season was not bad by any means but it didn't have anything extraordinary either. More like a one-time watch, I guess.

Finally defeating one of them is a reliever, but the whole background in regards to Gabimaru's upbringing is unique and honestly makes the character much more interesting, its understanding how a shinobi village would manipulate a child to fight with purpose by faking love and that there is a higher deity within the village by displaying an illusion of immortality. Really excited for season 2!

Hm, a random survival anime with lots of bloody action and that was all... and losing-memories-kun attacked once again in this last episode... okay... i see 

By the way, as many reviews stated, I don´t really think the art/animation was bad or fine at best, I actually think the art/animation are good and they carry most of this show (and of many overrated ones out there as well), in my opinion. 

I specially liked Sagiri and the tomboy/boyish girl.
I have to kudo author-san didn´t add romance between Sagiri and the MC, thank goodness. At least so far..? >.< 

---

By the way Yuzuriha is the carbon copy of Akatsuki from Log Horizon, but Yuzuriha is the adult and lewd version of her xD
In my opinion I think Takanashi Rie´s voice didn´t suit Yuzuriha xD It was as if something was off xD

Actually, I never heard neither of them, because I don't read manga and I certainly take manga readers' opinions (specially in an anime discussion board) as valuable as a bucket of piss. because they love to oversale their crap and they just shrug down when the anime adaptation doesn't come out as amazingly as they advertised it.

Dr_Ak said:

This is such a dumb and silly take hipsters love to parrot around. If all it takes for a show to be massively apreciated is amazing animation, why didn't it work for God of Highschool? Why didn't it became the next demon Slayer? Oh that's right because amazing animation isn't the only thing that matters and poor writing along with poor execution made it a nice to look but totally forgetable show. Demon Slayer has "the looks" that attracts the early audience but most people stay because of it's simplicity of it's charming cast and the overall story. I have never seen people advertise Demon Slayer as the next level in battle shonen, while other shows like Jujutsu Kaisen, Jigokuraku and others do and it still have to past the test of time and see if they are fondly remembered by the community.

So, you're pretty much proving me right that stale cliches and archtypes aren't the best thing when it comes to trying to animate the next level in shonen or as that other guy said "how battle shonen should be written".

That sums up your poor retorts to such a bold and empty statement on "this is how battle shonen should be written". Really? Normally people who make such radical statements against run of the mill structure come up with something more susbtancial to back them up.

(I don't know how to quote only a part of the comment)

But I want you to re-read the statement I made about Bleach and insert DS there.

you yourself claim that it is cliché, but while I was writing I thought about DS and wrote Bleach at the last because I found them similar(and I changed "father" to "one of the parents")
So yeah we both can agree DS is cliché.

It’s really odd how they keep cramming personal story arcs in a couple of minutes every time someone dies.
Looks like Gabimaru’s artificial memories have unraveled after that overuse of Tao. Will probably watch the rest once it airs

My only complaint is that the season is over, and the way it ended was sort of abrupt. I'm excited for the next one. The execution of these very complicated concepts (at least in my opinion) was done well and in a digestible way. I don't have huge problems with gore, so that may be an issue for certain people. The exploration of characters that aren't the mc, their relationships with the mc, and their discoveries pertaining to him without him being aware is an intriguing concept and one I don't think I've personally experienced before watching this. The show is about something completely different than you would believe when you start it but not in a whiplashy sort of way which I appreciate.

I enjoyed the end of the fight. Shion moments were amazing.

I appreciate Yuzuriha's ability to think clearly. her comforting Senta during his final moments was touching.

I refuse to believe that they will have the wife suddenly become a figment of his imagination. I'm not a fan of this amnesia stuff either. I hope that it won't take too long.
