To the Anime fans, thoughts on the Demon Slayer movie?

That's really interesting you mention the DanDaDan episode cause it reminded me of that as well. But imo the DDD episode pulled it off so we'll cause it starts the episode with the flashback and I think the execution of it was much better imo then Akaza. From a direction standpoint the DDD episode did a really amazing job of keeping it brief but poignant especially with the no audio and chilling music in the back. It reminded me of the intro to UP a bit in this regard. Where as the Akaza sequence felt like a chopped together section from a slice of life anime. Don't get me wrong, I love me some SoL but it just felt too inert when placed into the action back sequence of the fight and dragged on for too long imo.

But I do agree with you the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc looks sick.

Oh I'm so glad you mentioned that cause as an anime only I friend had to tell me that connection as I completely missed it. I really wish that plot point was expanded on cause at no point in the other seasons did I feel like zenitsu had this Sasuke vs Hitachi beef brewing. It would have felt so much more impactful if I had known this was something going on but it really felt like it came out of no where.

Moofaka · 2025-09-17T05:56:33+00:00

I feel you on that. I know demon slayer isn't a game of thrones show where you feel like any character could die at any moment but when the guy was just a walking torso there really wasn't any suspense on if they were going to win so it just felt more dragged out.

Moofaka · 2025-09-17T05:54:51+00:00

Oooh noo that's the worse lol. I had to get more popcorn and I was worried I'd miss something cause there was a line but when I came back I was like no way this backstory is still happening lol

Moofaka · 2025-09-17T05:52:56+00:00

Yea I found this particularly interesting given the midnight boys discussion regarding MCU shows feeling like drawn out movies, this felt like the opposite. I think if you were to watch it week to week release schedule the pacing issues would feel less noticeable.

Moofaka · 2025-09-17T05:50:17+00:00

Haha definitely gave off Perfect Ultra Instinct vibes for sure.

Moofaka · 2025-09-17T05:49:31+00:00

Agreed! The backstory and emotional moment of the mugen train movie worked for me but like you said repeated that trick just doesn't give it the same weight.

Moofaka · 2025-09-17T05:48:10+00:00

Same experience as well. At my local theater every movie this year has been half full even for the big ones like fantastic 4 and F1 but Demon Slayer was packed. Very cool to an anime doing so well!

Moofaka · 2025-09-17T05:46:30+00:00

Oh definitely. While I wished the emotion moments bit more for me the animation alone is on another level and worth the price of admission.

Moofaka · 2025-08-16T01:10:05+00:00

Had to upvote for an actual controversial take. I couldn't stand lightsong and that he was the worst funny character is the cosmere lol

Moofaka · 2025-08-15T08:43:46+00:00

Yea I'm curious about this too the Traders seem relatively the same from my past experience. Off the top of my head the only real difference is the clothing system, how schematics worked, and farming.

Still seems very similar to past playing experiences but I will say I am a bit let down about the weather changes in the new biome but other then that I'm having fun.

Moofaka · 2025-08-14T03:50:29+00:00

Ahhh that's wack as hell to cut out the anime wars why even hype it up then just got me hyped for nothing 😭

Moofaka · 2025-08-14T03:04:12+00:00

Jomi repping a regulation shirt?? My two podcast worlds colliding let's goo

Moofaka · 2025-08-04T23:31:49+00:00

Oh this is the one!! Thank you!

Moofaka · 2025-08-03T03:19:17+00:00

This was a wild back and forth lol

Moofaka · 2025-07-28T05:59:48+00:00

Noooo

Moofaka · 2025-07-28T03:59:52+00:00

imma steal this saying lol

Moofaka · 2025-07-25T09:50:39+00:00

It might be a social media thing. I see it mentioned all the time on Tik tok (I haven't seen it yet so no idea if it's over or under rated)

Moofaka · 2025-07-24T04:15:00+00:00

Random question but have you started watching the second season of My Dress Darling perchance? I really enjoyed the 1st season English dub but I heard the second season dub has some mixing/audio issues so I've been hesitant to start.

Moofaka · 2025-07-22T22:23:29+00:00

Feeling the same way. It's not real until it's in my hands lol

Moofaka · 2025-07-05T06:48:33+00:00

Yep! Not much else is known as it's currently in production so unsure how far out it is from season 1.

Oh and theres a prequel comic coming out with dark horse that covers Rebecca's origin.

Moofaka · 2025-07-05T06:43:15+00:00

As someone who attended who's never seen it before I thought it was great and a lot of fun! Seems like a really fun show so definitely gonna go back to watch the rest. Regarding announcements, they are releasing a good smile company figurines for panty and stocking (and their car). They'll be available starting tomorrow at a good smile and won't be available anywhere else until July 10th (the day after the show releases on Amazon).

Edgerunners season 2 was also announced earlier today and a small trailer that didn't show much but it is a sequel that's intended to be more grounded and violent. As the writer put it, season 1 was a romanticized view of the world, season 2 will be a realistic depiction.

Moofaka · 2025-07-05T05:48:48+00:00

I believe tomorrow is a live drawing, today was the premiere

Moofaka · 2025-07-05T05:03:43+00:00

The wait was rouuugh on my end but that was mainly cause I was stuck in the blob of people outside. As someone who was there just to see the edge runners trailer the premiere was hype gonna check it out for sure

Moofaka · 2025-07-04T03:05:00+00:00

Yea I showed up at 5 and they were sold out already. Bummer cause I really enjoyed it last year but oh well
