    Only watching a couple of things right now.

    Demon Slayer Season 4 - I have enjoyed this tremendously. The battle with the Upper Rank #4 in particular has been incredible to me. I admit I’m not a fan of the every other episode is also a tragic backstory, but I understand it’s part of the genre.

    Mashle - Watching this on the elliptical at the gym. Loving the taking the piss out of Harry Potter vibes. Once Punch Man meets Harry Potter and I love it. They are keeping it goofy enough to enjoy on a much lighter level than other things. cough cough tragic backstories

        And only a few episodes left already! It’s been a great arc. But they should have called it Hashira Tragic Backstory Arc.

          All caught up! The Hashiras are awesome! All of them have really interesting personalities/backstories/motivations. Never judge a book: I thought Sound Hashira was going to be lame based soley on his design but he’s actually amazing. I like how he was the only one able to “walk it off” after last season’s climactic battle.

          And Mist Hashira soloing an Upper Rank? Goosebumps…

          What the anime does well is how it makes you feel sympathy for (most of) the demons. They really are wretched creatures who were just unlucky in life.

          The Muzan/Michael Jackson thing is hilarious too imho but it seems like they’re toning it down this season…
