    I think my biggest problem with Demon Slayer is how OP the demons seem. You have these Upper Ranks constantly boasting(and occasionally proving) they go through Hashira like they're nothing, it makes it difficult to have any hope for the current one, much less his underlings.

    Not having read the manga, they've already shown what needs to happen to win, and we've seen glimpses that they can do it.

    Anime Speculation
    Tanjiro will absolutely use his new Fire-Water Breathing, Zenitsu will step up on his attacks (since he seems to be the only one that hasn't gotten staggered much at all), and I wouldn't be surprised if Nezuko pops out one last time. Mostly because a bro/sis duo beating a bro/sis duo is the easy answer.

    I'm expecting Nezuko again because of the opening.

    It's just common sense at this point, when the alternative is everyone dying.

    I will say seeing them spend $Texas animating one long fight over 5+ episodes gives me hope for the rest of the series if they decide to animate the rest of the manga.

    Apparently the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga ended yesterday.

    Also there's a Twilight Princess manga. And it will be 11 volumes long when the final one is published.

    Fans are freaking out over a certain event in the final chapter.

    I haven't read the manga, but he spends half the game as a dog. Maybe he forgot how face muscles work like that one Animorph that is a bird?

    Manga plus is doing a thing for their third anniversary and has a bunch of series that can be read through once in a year’s time (in their app).

    There’s the big ones up there but you should absolutely read SpyxFamily for free. Kaiju #8 and Mashle are real good as well.

    yeah I did end up finishing it but it was an absolute slog over the finish line

    I honestly like the UBW anime a lot more, that's probably the most accessible standalone Fate thing at this point in time (or at least the best ratio of quality to accessibility)

    I like that it's all forward momentum after the pilot. I enjoy UBW, but it's clearly not by the same writing team, since you get long stretches of special cooking and dating episodes and so on.

    As thick as the tension is during the scene with Ryunosuke and Caster, I'm surprised ufotable haven't done a horror anime yet.

    this does remind me of my biggest criticism with Fate/Zero
    the whole thing with Caster turning into a big squid monster and some weird truce to defeat him that didn't really result in any meaningful developments between the different factions in the grail war felt like a massive fuckin waste of time and a very enticing and horrifying antagonist.

    To take the Sukeban thing one step further; the reason these girls wore longer skirts was a means to fight back against the sexualized nature of sailor uniforms for high schoolers. So while lots of the sexual gags in KLK are uncomfortable, I definitely think her having a talking uniform that forces itself on her literally was a commentary on the concept of those uniforms. A lot of Sukeban stories were about cool badass girls doing cool badass shit, and I think that's where the series shines. I think the sexual stuff was intentional but handled a bit well.... Anime-ish.

    I do think it's playing around with some interesting things and saying interesting stuff for sure.

    It's also got a bad case of having its cake and eating it too.

    In contrast, I was pleasantly surprised with O Maidens ending. I thought it handled things alright though it was a little unsatisfying with how some plotlines resolved
    I wish the pedo actor got worse fate than a punch to the face for grooming that kid. And I wish the teacher had worse consequences for taking a kid to a love hotel. To me those two characters got off far too light. I can appreciate that love is messy and that stuff like this actually happens, so it was interesting to see a story tackle it so earnestly. But still, wanted to see the pedo lose his job teaching kids by the end.

    I also thought for the briefest of moments the childhood best friend wouldn't go home the victor but alas, I was fooled once again
