I do have to say. Demons have slipped into legend. The slayer corps. are basscially a private militia funded by a rich dude and his family (Ubuyashiki). Outside of family conection (and hashira drop like flies so that is very rare) the only way to really become a slayer is getting to know demons by having the demon kill a close person to them.
Sure, but the point is less “every character backstory has a reason for the character to hate demons” it’s that everyone’s reason is the same. Thinking out of the box is how you make interesting backstories, restraining creativity in the way you laid out is just simply bad writing.
@@Blacktoothoneil Oh I agree with the but objectively Demon slayer has less options that something like Kaiju no 8, simply just because of both how that world works and how the DS corps work.
@@Blacktoothoneilalso… lowkey… the backstories aren’t as samey as they say. The ones with similar backstories are Genya/Sanemi, the Mist hashira, stone hashira, and tanjiro. Zenitsu, inosuke, the love, snake, and water hashira, Tengen, rengoku, all have unique and different backstories. I think it’s just that the last few backstories have been mostly similar that makes it feel that way
@@matijasostojic4288but it doesnt have to be siblings every time.. it could be a lover.. it could be your best friend.. one could almost die from a demon and then get saved and feel like a deep respect for how amazing the slayer that saved them is.. and these are just simple ideas that i came up with on the fly.. the managaka makes a living to think about ideas.. I do want to also say i like this season and gyoma’s back story did still hit for me.. but yeah it i see why it is seen as repetative..
Honestly the anime should’ve been longer they rushed it to much we should’ve had time to get to know they like ace for before he became donut man even tho he’s made of fire 😂
@EmmanuelAluya once you notice it you'll see he does it with alot of things, but yeah he goes "I'm not going to praise odas worldbuilding till I see how it ends" right after saying HxH has the best worldbuilding 😂 even though the story beats and how it plays out and the world building of the setting are 2 completely separate things
I do think Oda deserves his flowers. That being said, I'm gonna go back to my corner and continue to become completely immersed into Great Rimiru's orbit. Seriously, I don't think That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime gets enough world building credit because it started as a Web Novel/ Light Novel. 🥺
With demon slayer backstories youre forgetting that Rengoku was raised in a family of demon slayers having previous hashira as a father, Mitsuri didnt have family slaughter thing but problems with her identity finding eventually that she fits perfect among demon slayer, Obanai also has different story that includes his unique look and Shinobu backstory is that she was already part of demon slayers with her sis but she got killed by a powerful demon so in conclusion not every demon slayer backstory is the same its just so happen that in a world with demons walking around its very likely youll get attacked by one and get your close ones killed cause of the gap in power and its mostly survivors of such events wants to persude being demon slayer cause it makes much more sense then a random Joe who doesnt even belive demons exist
I genuinely dislike this segment. It takes away from other things we could be talking about. Like I get that Danny’s half of the fanbase loves it, but I genuinely couldn’t care less. It’s not even as good as Hazbin imo.
@@goldencalf13 I just think this ought to be a Patreon bit. I mean give us another draft, or like a “spilling the tea segment; cover movies, give Danny a dedicated gaming segment or something. I know I’m not the only one in this fanbase that doesn’t care about this show. It’s the one of the “biggest topics” for you, not for everybody. I would rather hear another half hour about Danny’s underwear than talk about Helluvaboss every week. I get that there’s no JJK, but this? This does not fill the hole that JJK left, and it never will.
33:31 if you look back at Verosikas episode in season one she actually says what blitz did. he not only ran away while she was sleeping in their hotel after she said she loved him he ALSO stole her car and maxxed out her credit cards 💀
one piece spoiler: Nick, going back to what you said about the hunterxhunter world being more expansive than the one piece world was right until like 2 weeks ago when oda revealed that the entire one piece world as we’ve know it for the past 1100 chapters is literally just the tip of the iceberg because the world was purposely flooded during the void century 800-900 years ago during which the sea level rose 200meters wiping out most of the population and leaving only small islands to be inhabited
Rengoku joined because his father was a demon slayer. Love Hashira joined because she found a place where she was excepted. Zenitsu joined because he didn't want to disappoint the person who took him in. Inosuke just likes to fight. Tengen comes from a family of assassins. The only thing similar about Gyomei and Wind Hashira is they were called monster. I won't say they are nothing alike, but i wouldn't say its repetitive because most of these back stories are going to be based around demons and majority of main cast did not join because of that reason... even though its the reason that make the most sense lol
I think Danny is very confused. Chidori, is a lightning release that sounds like a 10 thousand birds, hence its name. Kikashi's has the nickname Rykiri because there's story about him splitting a Lightning bolt with it. Edit: Nick corrected him about the Rykiri xD
I think the only time I've seen stolas and blitz being legit and cute, is the brief interaction they had, when stolas came to save them from the demon catchers.
Ok in order. Rengoku and shinobu both have backstories where they were already demon slayers before any kind of tragedy happened. Tengen was a ninja and his backstory involves no demons whatsoever. Mitsuri just joined to find a strong husband. Zenitsu joined becuase he had debts his grants payed off and inosuke joined to prove his strength. Young butterfly girl joined becuase her parents were gonna sell her into slavery and shinobu and her sister saved her. As for your “I think this is the best way to serve my country” idea as you’ve definitely forgotten the demon slayer corps is not affiliated with the government. Most people don’t believe in demons and the corps activities are entirely illegal so no that soldier guy isn’t gonna join becuase he doesn’t know about it.
Demon slayer haters are like jjk or dbz super people they don’t really read and digest the story the read just complain how it’s popular and not their five favorite old nostalgic series that are soooo much deeper and mature. Usually rattles off berserk monster etc as if the comparison is fair. Then ask them CM ugh I enjoy fire punch thank you. 😅
Absolutely hilarious that Nick is so entrenched in MHA that he just completely doesn't realize that discussing exact details of the epilogue is a spoiler and Danny has to read him for filth on that.
I don’t mind this season of Demon Slayer more so because knowing what I know about this next arc, this is very much the calm before the storm so I don’t mind them taking a breath before shit hits the fan.
The new One Piece anime they have planned will probably be one of the biggest things after the current anime are done. If they use the animation quality that they are currently using then it will at lest be nice to look at as a non One Piece fan.
I love how anime reviews intrinsically spoil things you haven't seen, but I'm literally getting NO idea what kaiju #9 is from this and it still just sounds great!
People are enjoying the season of demon slayer because they want to see the characters living and having some fun. Most of them die at the end of the story. Even if its filler. Its seeing the characters
I'm a huge dandadan fan, but I can't see it being as huge as Nick is predicting it when the anime comes out. Side note Mugan train movie felt like 3 episodes stitched together
Nick and Danny, Hawks hero motivation stems from his admiration from Endeavor who if I remember correctly is the hero who caught his criminal father and he was amazed with his power...
Regarding blitz and stolas' relationship, it's his grimoire he needs to fulfill his responsibilities as a prince. He doesn't owe it or anything else to blitz (who broke in to steal it) so using it to bargain isn't scandalous.
0.014% Either Danny or Nick see this, but: The reason Verosika hates Blitz so much is that when she eventually told him that she loved him, he ran away, stole her car and drove to the Wrath Ring, maxed her credit cards to pay for horse riding lessons, and left Verosika to pay for the hotel room they'd shared. Then treated her like a villainess for being upset with him. He didn't "just ghost her" or commit a "normal relationship faux pas" he _hurt_ her.
The naming convention of Kaiju No. 8 is killing me. Why don't the strongest kaiju of all time and their weapons have actual names or atleast code names used by the force or the civilian population. Like how did they decided on the numbers to the Daikaiju when there were only two? Were they only called No. 1 and 2 after like the next 3 Daikaiju appeared?
The 5 main characters of demon slayer are based off of the 5 senses, it’s just because of that that the weird quirks exist as long as you ignore the zenitsu sleep thing Tanjiro - smell Zenitsu - hearing Inosuke - touch (vibrations in the ground give him pinpoint accurate detection ability) Genya - taste (eats the demons) Kanao - sight (yet to be explained, but is revealed during infinity castle)
I absolutely love HxH and it has the best power system I've seen in anime. It's world building doesn't even come close to One piece. You named countries and governments and all this about HxH and you can't tell me a single detail about any of it. We saw meteor city for like one chapter, we never learned a single thing about the politics/leaders of the countries and world, and we didn't even learn the little info we have about the hunter association until the last few episodes/chapters of the main story that's finished.
@@jtom416 the first 400 chapters of one piece world building and HxH aren't even comparable. There's history about the entire world, government, war, politics and more. HxH you can barely explain to someone outside of the main story how the world operates.
@@jtom416add to that their argument is one sided and off base. They literally started explaining the city where the gang comes from recently and the way it functions. Hxh just handles such things more mature as it’s not spelled out. It reminds me how people claim bleach has no plot or character in Ichigo when it’s not true. One piece is great but has way more time to do things as fans have started to be sycophants that think everything is perfect. 🤩 easy to worldbuilding when your world is random islands. Star Trek visiting random worlds can do that too. And does. Also hxh has strengths that lie in the way it wants to tell its story. Feels like how when frieren came out people claimed all fiction should be written that way shonen wise when it doesn’t fit all stories. It’s like at some point fairy tail was praised now people hate it. Jjk having low plot armor (hate that word but simpler to explain) now people describe basically wanting a more fairy tail like story since they hate the struggle and losing so often. Can’t win. One piece is like Mario games in that people always love it and other series are sonic. Changing a lot trying to recapture a group that hates them and is only nostalgic about different stuff so and closed off so no one is ever happy. Or Star Wars fans who hate anything Star Wars post Thier childhood.
I’ll help Danny out. Each demon slayer with a quirk is just a play on random ppl with insane super human sense. Zenitsu also has a sleeping disorder. Tanjiro grew up on a mountain full of fresh air and was training to do the sun dance his dad does heightened his senses. His smell is useless when there is smoke or something effecting it. Love hashira is a play on bigger women hence why she’s strong. The list can go on. Knowing the author he had ppl he knew or grew up around that had these quirks Yeah Danny needs to go rewatch the first season of aot again it doesn’t take Eren 8 episodes to be a titan and he also didn’t know he was one. I need Danny and Nick to watch viral hit together it’s so good. Nick Nick Nick no dragon ball don’t have the best transformations but it’s in the top tier though. Ssj3 and ssj4 Fusion/ frieza/ cell / buu / janemba/ moro all cool transformations
Rengoku - from a family of demon slayers Mitsuri - got turned down by a dude weaker than her Tengen - a ninja They have different backstories just the past few have been the same
Tanjiro, shinobu/ kanao, iguro, sanemi/ Kenya, gyomei and I'm sure there are others all have similar backstories. Also, their point was that the writer should've dug deeper for most of their backstory because we know next to nothing about most of them.
100 years quest is a sequel series to fairy tail, so y’all prob wouldn’t want to watch it unless you see the original. Not saying you wouldn’t enjoy it, but it expects you to know characters and powers and arcs that happened in the original. A lot of the last arc is referenced in 100?years quest. There’s 2.5 filler arcs in the original and a bunch of stand alone episodes that are a mix of annime-only and special chapters from the manga (and the stand alone are all great). The farting villains are in a filler arc, but they were originally from the Rave Master manga. I won’t say the show isn’t horny, but it’s not too bad in the beginning, and the 2nd movie (which is what Danny keeps referencing) is definitely some of the more egregious horny moments (along with the OVAs).
The way Danny laughs over Nick's "SIT DOWN" bit reminds me of this one time I was bringing my friend to work. We were coming off an exit from.the highway, and the shoulder was marked off for some city crew. I was taking the exit at normal speed cause there wasnt any reason not to. One of the workers yells at me to slow down, and all I did was tilt my head and yell "No." My buddy cracks up randomly all the time when we're together and just says "Slow down! NO."
This is consistently the one podcast I keep up with. And the ONLY one that has had me laughing so hard that I have to pull off to the side of the road to breathe. Please keep up the good work guys and here's to MANY more episodes!!
I DON'T THINK MHA IS ABOUT THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!! IT'S THAT TEAMS TOGETHER ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN A SINGULAR NUMBER ONE HERO. WORKING TOGETHER IS MORE POWERFUL THAN WORKING ALONE. Friendship can be a part of that but it doesn't have to be. Endeavor was so determined to be the best, but he wasn't the one to defeat the big bad villain in ANY scenario
And furthermore when he was “the best” it was literally only after the literal legend All Might retired. Endeavor may be that good but he will never get the important hits or good press after Dabi.
How I'd change this season of Demon Slayer - EP 1 - Just add in a scene of Iguro & Sanemi telling other Hashira that the demon they chased got away in a weird way EP 2 is perfect EP 3 - I'd give more focus on the other regular slayers backing up Tanjiro - I'd also include Muichiro training this episode (Remove that entire airplane scene) EP 4 - Put emphasis on The Hashira and that side of their training - We'll see unique matchups and personality clashes (We'll actually get more Hashira - I mean for crying out loud the arc is named after them so give them an entire episode) Fuck that shit pissed me all the way off EP 5 - More emphasis on Mitsuri this episode (Her training and her relationship with Iguro) Sanemi section of episode can stay the same with lil more focus on Sanemi as a character EP 6 - We can focus on Stone Hashira as a leader along with his training - he is the "Gentle" one - Have him give the Hashira a break one night instead of fighting each other - This could be the episode where Muichiro kid side gets explored - Mitsuri and her food side - I'd also move that red bean paste scene to this episode 😂 EP 7 - Half the episode can focus on Gyomei backstory with a quick scene of Zenitsu - The rest of episode can focus on Shinobu training her student (Give her some fucking happiness with her student and more development) - lastly we'll see Tanjiro talk to dude about Sanemi before that scene is cut off by Sanemi destroying the eye and rest of the episode can play out lol (Really gave Muzan a 4-5 minute walking scene)
Nic correct me if I'm wrong but the Chidori represented the ultimate change in chakra nature for a jutsu and the Rasengan was explained to be the ultimate change in chakra form. So the Chidori is in fact lightning but it just chirps
I’ve really enjoyed the hashira training arc so far. I don’t mind the fact they are stretching it out for this arc specifically so we can see it fully fleshed out
I’ve had so many answers to this episodes love letter question tucked away for years. Here we go: Christopher Nolan directing a Psycho Pass movie Tarantino live action adaptation of Baccano Baz Luhrmann doing a Fate series movie Michael Bay Mob Psycho movie Martin Scorsese live action Monster series Guillermo Del Toro for Parasyte series or Tokyo Ghoul movie
1:12:54 Re: slippery floor - my guesses are either foot lotion or spray-on sunscreen. The latter was the cause when the same thing happened in our bathroom :)
Man Danny’s heart is way too big and I love it. He was going to read out that list of comments for a lil bit of payback against Nick (well deserved cuz nick roasts the shit out of Danny like EVERY episode lol). So I was CHEERING Danny on to get some jabs in… but he stopped after like 2. I think Danny had trouble just sitting there and reading mean comments about his friend! Much respect to this king👑 I definitely noticed nick was getting a lil uncomfortable and not into it, and I think Dan did too. Y’all like some anime mc friendship and I fuckin love it P. S. I think nick is the Sasuke of the 2. He’s infuriating good at stuff, good style, super smart (science shit), and a bit of a loveable A**hole😜 He’s prolly gonna hate this lol
I would love to see Guillermo del Toro do a collab with Miyazaki. And Ari Aster should take a shot at some horror anime. Even Promised Neverland could be so extra nerve wracking with him as director.
Am i just tripping or did the traitor in the stone hashiras backstory have the same necklace as the other guy who trained with gramps? The mean guy from like late S1?
Aight, but how is it that Kafka knows more than the defense force about Kaiju biology when Kaiju have been around for hundreds of years? Why isn’t there a team formed that works in tandem with the defense force to do this uniquely helpful thing that Kafka does? From a world building perspective that feels like a huge oversight.
