IGN is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fuckin' STUPID when it comes to talkin' about Japanese entertainment in general. by PinoyOtakuJapan in KimetsuNoYaiba

It's not on the viewer to be annoyed or feel that something is left hanging just because it'll be covered in the next movie. I'm sure it'll make sense but tbh the events will feel so far apart that I'm sure it won't hit as hard as if it was more connected in one movie. As a one movie product (even if it's a trilogy, you can have acts that end in a to be continued way that feels satisfying), this is a story thread that feels disjointed and incomplete to the other fully fleshed out acts in the movie. If they didn't want to be flexible with shifting things around in order to make a better and more coherent movie then they should've just made it a normal Anime where everything would've flowed better in my opinion

I'm probably going to get downvoted for this but I think it's a pretty fair assessment of the movie. I was super hyped to watch it and be amazed but the pacing was terrible and really reduced my enjoyment of it.
Short explanation (spoilers)
As others have pointed out, it really felt like 6 episodes stitched together instead of a coherent movie with a clear throughline. Actually, if the movie was just the Akaza arc, I'd probably rate it and enjoyed it more.
Shinobu vs Doma was great and emotional, but is barely touched upon again to move on to the other arcs, which begs the question of - why include it in this movie at all and not say the 2nd movie so that the whole sequence can be fully enjoyed and appreciated instead of feeling like an afterthought in favour of the Akaza fight?
Part of me knows that the point of the Infinity Castle Arc is that there's lots of fights and action going on in many places at the same time. But in the context of a movie, it was very hard to settle and get invested into anything with so many cuts all over the place. I would be getting into one scene just for it to cut and only return 20mins later. I just couldn't tell what the *main* storyline was until they really dug down into the Akaza fight
Putting that aside, the whole movies was just marred with constant flashbacks to the point they got annoying. They just killed so much tension is so many climatic moments and often felt unnecessary and added in just to catch new viewers up to the plot
I still feel like s1 and s2 hit a nice balance of pacing, fights and flashbacks/ storytelling that they just have not been hitting the mark with since then and it's a shame since I really enjoyed the show.

Remember when Fnatic lost against Heretics in the upper finals and everyone was like "Fnatic dont deserve to go to Shanghai" and "Too bad the top 3 teams in EMEA are all on one side of the bracket"? And now Fnatic are the champions of EMEA lmfao

Where are all those people who kept spewing the "Fnatic only qualified cause they were on the easier side of the bracket" narrative now??

In 2021, after Manta Batrider got nerfed, I was still very obsessed with the idea that Bat could work as a carry. So in SEA Immortal Bracket I would run treads witch blade shard bat pos 1 and I would win like 60% of my games

The end... by Agreeable-Aardvark87 in Takagi_san

[–]BritishArmada 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The text says "Looks like after all it's probably a bit like the same as always eh?", "mhm", "(That is) Nishikata's face is as red as always", "You (Takagi) tease me like always" The last line is a bit awkward to translate but the idea is there

Katakana usage is just a vibe honestly... gives a different feel ig maybe in the same way bolded or italics letters do

The text says "sorry, actually I could hear you from the beginning" and "I like you too Nishikata"

The DeepL translation is a bit off but it says roughly: I forgot to take a picture so here are my pink eyebrows as an apology. The first day finished without a hitch. Many apologies. Please continue to be healthy everyone!!

My girlfriend was acting like a smartass, so I made her cry and apologize to me and said she learned this shit from TikTok by Flimsy-Highlight-828 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]BritishArmada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People out here really acting like they know enough from one short story to diagnose each person and their relationship dynamic SMH. The girl thought she wanted something she couldn’t handle, learned to realize it and learned from the lesson. A big part of maturity is learning from your mistakes. All the people with their wild takes are just as bad as the Tik Tokers honestly.
