was looking @ vidya games and they straight took akazas design from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

Jesus Christ Nezuko is literally just a macguffin lmfao

You’re a massive AoT stan so I assume you like other story driven anime. That isn’t this. But it does get dramatically better for me (an old shonen type guy) from the mugen train arc on

Just watch season 2 ig

finally finished last episode

At times I can see why this was basically the king of manga and japan for a stretch and at others, I just wonder how it has half the hype

there's definitely some similarities with this and One Piece imo...im starting to understand where japan and america deviate

Catching up

Yeah ughh they losing me a bit cause it feels like Dora the Explorer meets anime with them narrating all their decisions . How plot armor allows them to win over the villains no matter what with very little weight or overarching plot for me. This season really elevated the bigger b****. I cosign most of what Rigdle said. It obviously isnt bad but it is definitely losing some of the magic I one time felt

The animation top tier though but knowing that there will be a year or multiple year wait after this feels odd

Plot armor? I think if anything Kimetsu is one of the better series to balance the scales. Take this act or even the last one, it had consquences and showed the difference between human and demons.

She magically healed everyone and the poison stopped

Tbh the last episode of the anime did things the manga didn’t lol

Well her demon art only burns demons

It’s a healing thing for humans

As someone who’s read the entire manga there’s not a lot of plot armor lol

This arc was the very few times it was there

Like what cause whole season was nearly too much action then predictable heroes win

But did this arc satisfy me to the point I can do a year wait ? Not really . Action and animation was fire but again nearly too much action

that statement was really an overaching viewpoint on the series

like there's just a ton of similarities in the vibe of the two to me

Well buckle up because it’s non stop action from here on out

There’s a bit of a break from the next arc then upper moon 5 shows up so

I mean One Piece do the same s***

Like Luffy vs Kaido part 1 in the manga was completely different than the anime did it

The anime adds more glitz and glamour to manga panels which I’m really never too mad at it

Like I may rewatch season but there is not much over arching plot or progression for me. Then villains vanquished predictably . Like I don’t know just feels like something missing

Well I mean this is a Shonen anime lol

Bro I’m not talking about scenes that was or wasn’t in the manga lmao

I’m just saying they have similarities in details from the show. Emotions and such

I lowkey prefer manga to anime these days which is a hella unpopular opinion, I feel like I enjoyed reading this arc of DS more than watching it despite the animation being cool

From One Piece? Ehh maybe, only difference is Oda doesn’t like killing characters lol

Yeah I’m like 17 eps into One Piece, watching it for the first time since the 4Kids days, and outside of blood being shown, it still feels mad kiddy 😂

They say “(x) is gonna die” but I literally watched this mfer with razor sharp claws choose to kick Usopp instead of cutting his top off. That’s what always separated Bleach from the other two to me, it was so gnarly and raw from beginning to end
