i read all 205 chapters of demon slayer last night in one 11 hour sitting. it was pretty good! surprise! the anime people have been raving about for the past several years is actually good quality. who would have thunk it. anyway i wanted to search up some reviews of the anime to see what other ppl thought of it but then i remembered the youtube anime community, with a few notable exceptions, is allergic to media literacy

#demon slayer #tanjiro is a very good protag and really embodies the themes of the story #very fresh too kind of like emma tpn #hes got a phat ass and wining personality like all other shounen protags but unlike most he isnt just talk #like he actually goes the extra mile to purposely be kind and it justifies why ppl like him so much a lot better i think #i was unfair in comparing it to bnha when i didnt even watch it #bc unlike bnha the author has a clear direction and kept things concise to drive home the poin #every character and plot point had a purpose #at least it does now since i havent had much time to actually pick at it yet #but anyway its got the standard shounen sexism but i think it was a LOT better than like. bnha or naruto #the girls are few and far between and arent as deep as the boys mostly #but i liked the love hashiras examination of womanhood in the taisho era #and the depiction of sex workers is surprisingly respectful #also the romance subplots arent forced (cough izuocha cough) like maybe you get the sense the characters have crushes?#but like! there are demons eating people! who tf cares! “im glad kanao isn't dead” yeah tanjiro me too youre such a romantic #but yeah the romance between the love and serpent hashira was pretty nice if lowkey #and otherwise i like how the ending just indicates that they may begin to like each other and the epilogue indicates they eventually did #how did it happen? idk! what the fanfics come up with would be better than what the manga would have squeezed in!#also i love how inosuke wanted a homoerotic sasunaru-bakudeku rivalry with tanjiro but tanjiro was too nice #and for the pervert/coward type character zenitsu was fairly likeable as well #i was worried nezuko was just going to be a glorified macguffin for tanjiro but she at least DID have agency sometimes #though i think they should have explored how she felt about the demon thing more and also show her casually with tanjiro #bc it feels like they only show her doing stuff when its a big angsty battle but i want her and tanjiro to annoy each other a bit!#shut up pandora
