Demon Slayer

Hey guys, welcome to my review on Demon Slayer!

 

 Here's some info about the story and characters before I jump into things.

Premise:

"Tanjiro Kamado is a kind-hearted and intelligent boy who lives with his family in the mountains. He has become his family's sole source of income after the passing of his father. Everything changes when he comes home one day to discover that his family has been attacked and slaughtered by a demon. Tanjiro and his sister, Nezuko are the sole survivors of the incident, with Nezuko being transformed into a demon, but still surprisingly showing signs of human emotion and thought. After an encounter with Giyū Tomioka, a demon slayer, Tanjiro is recruited by him and sent to be taught by Sakonji Urokodaki, another member of the Demon Slayer Corps, to also become a demon slayer, and begins his quest to help his sister turn human again and avenge the deaths of the rest of his family." (Wikipedia)

 

 

Review:

    In the world of Demon Slayer, humans and demons have not coexisted in harmony together for centuries. The reason for this is because demons are former humans who sold their humanity in exchange for power. They feed on humans to possess supernatural abilities such as super strength, magic, and regeneration. Demons have been known to be the natural enemies of humans. As we follow Nezuko and Tanjiro on their quest to revert her back to a human. They are the first demon and human in history to prove not all demons are senseless killers that can live with one another.

    As I saw the journey of these two unfold, this anime is more than just fictional characters fighting the antagonist. The story touches on the topics of different races and human compassion. Through Tanjiro, as the viewer, you can sympathize with some of the demons. You feel pity for the demons that are in anguish after they are slain. Their most vulnerable and regretful last moments as a human are shown before they disappear. Demon Slayer has a nice balance of comedy, adventure, and having your heartstrings pulled. Give this show a watch if this sounded interesting enough for you, haha.

    I've seen this movie! Even demons have feelings and each person has a story to tell. I cried at various scenes.

    A few of my friends are into this show so I was very curious on your post about it. I'm not a big anime fan but it sounds like a really cool story! I love family and sibling relationships and I feel like I'd be getting a lot of that if I were to watch it.

    I have heard a lot of good things about Demon Slayer and reading your review makes me want to start this show even more. I just finished watching Attack on Titan and was looking for another anime that was similar and I think this is the perfect one. This anime sounds like it has a deeper meaning to it rather than pure action and violence which is nice.

The Haunting of Bly Manor

  Summary:  "The story tells of a young au pair hired by a man to look after his niece and nephew at the family country house after they fall into his care. Arriving at the Bly estate, she begins to see apparitions that proceed to haunt the premises."( Wikipedia ) Review:  The Haunting of Bly Manor is a TV show that contains genres of romance, drama, supernatural, and horror. As a horror fan, this show was not really frightening to watch unless you're afraid of jumpscares. Overall, as you watch, you get sucked into the love affairs that happen in the Bly Manor. The twists in the show are unexpected as you uncover the secrets within the manor! I won't lie when I say I watched this show after I discovered a lesbian couple was in it. The relationship portrayed between Dani and Jamie was so wholesome, and I was so sad about their ending. Another couple I was rooting for was Hannah and Owen. Although they were never in a relationship with each other, the interactions be...

Two Sentence Horror Stories

Image
   Summary:  Two Sentence Horror Stories is an anthology horror television series. Each episode is 20 minutes long and has a different plot every time. It currently has two seasons available and is an ongoing series. Review:   Don't let this show's name fool you. The word "horror" is in its name, but every episode I've seen feels more creepy than scary. Two Sentence Horror Stories is a series that doesn't require you to commit to watching every single episode. There is no specific storyline or recurring characters. If you've seen another Netflix show called "Black Mirror," this series gives off the same vibes. I recommend watching this if you're in the mood to be spooked but not terrified. Since every episode is different, you'll see various scenarios of characters encountering possible killers, the paranormal, or non-human figures. Some episodes left me confused as the ending was open-ended and left entirely up to how the audience imagin...

Vincenzo

Image
Hello hello!  If you're a fan of comedy, action, and unexpected turns of events then you'll love to watch Vincenzo. This South Korean drama series has a well-written storyline that was executed with an amazing cast. I was invested in the show by the end of the first episode and it was hard to resist clicking the "next episode" button each time. These episodes aren't short and I watched them in several parts but that didn't stop me from enjoying the series. One episode is about 1 hour 30 minutes long so it's like you're watching a movie every time. Anyway, on to the summary.   Vincenzo standing in front of the Geumga Plaza. Summary: Vincenzo Cassano is a former Italian lawyer and consigliere for the Cassano mafia family. After the death of his adoptive father and head of the Cassano family, Don Fabio, Vincenzo leaves Italy and returns to Seoul. He is set on retrieving the secretly stashed 1.5 tons of gold (over $46.5 million U.S. dollars) he helped hid...
