Sorry for jumping in randomly but aaaa fellow Kimetsu no yaiba fan!

.

Uwa I’m happy to see someone mentioning the part about Tanjiro’s soul! Like literally the (minor) enemy was so overwhelmed by the love and pureness of Tanjiro’s soul that he started crying and ended up not destroying his soul core ;;

And yes their breathing technique is really similar to meditation! ww Now if only we could get to that level where we even meditate in our sleep like them www

Ufotable-san really did a good job with the movie so I’m always glad to see more people who enjoyed it! :laughing:

yeah i love that demon slayer shows that even demons can remember their humanity.

i feel like demons in this universe are the representation of service to self in which they hunger for more and more but are never truly satisfied. whenever a demon dies it usually goes to their EGO’s perspective constantly talking and probably speeding up to a realization. in this case, the main villain will likely reincarnate back into the negative path and try again.

the hashira are almost like service to others (i say almost because they primarily use violence to defend as i’m sure talking things out will lead to all of their deaths).

rengoku has shown me what it’s like to be part of a cause for life and to protect the innocent in a deeper level.

i feel like rengoku has an expanded field of view as alluded to by tanjiro asking where he keeps looking at. he’s actually not using his physical eyes to see but just his whole body’s awareness to see 360 around and above him.

this is strengthened by the fact that rengoku can see inside tanjiro’s body.

it would be like you on the computer looking at your sims and fully seeing inside them and choosing to go first person or third person view.

just my theory!

i was quite impressed by the visuals and their mix of 3d and 2d art. i kept forgetting i was watching a mainly 2D anime because the background felt so life-life and 3D to me.

Guess it is time for my contribution here.
I am on phone getting ready for bed so u will have to deal with names without images until I edit it.

Jujutsu kaisen-story,animation,supernatural it has it all.

God of highschool-animation is insane,superpowers,martial arts and it is fast paced.Story is also interesting but not the strongest quirk.

My hero aca-superpowers,story and it just hits u in the feels.

Now for some underdogs-
Moriarty the patriot-story is insanely good,animation top notch and u get really emotionally invested as well.Not to mention it has strategy level close to Code geass(amongst first anime I watched,still remains in top 10).
Tokyo revengers-time travel,but it doesnt give MC some crazy advantage,it serves as a tool to tell a story in unique way,where moments of MC feeling limited,helpless,rly resonated with me. 95% of anime is just good story where u get to know characters and easily get emotionally invested.I have a soft spot for anime that is about struggle and this down to earth story makes it have bigger impact than other anime like Bleach,where u have someone as strong as Ichigo blaming himself for being weak cuz he cant beat villain like Ulqiorra or Aizen.Here u have a normal dude blaming himself cuz he is average in everything,but enough of spoiling.I didnt expect this anime to get me so hooked on,but it did.

Bungou stray dogs-powers,animation,story it has it all just like Jujutsu kaisen,but its like v1.0 where JK is 2.0.Still great and overlooked I think.

Tower of God-such a captivating story that after anime ended I read manga which I usually avoid.Props to @psynergy for mentioning it.
That is it for now,gonna edit and format this better tomorrow.

Has anyone seen Welcome to demon school! Iruma-kun and My next life as a villainess?
I didn’t have much time to watch anime recently but these two were probably my favorites this year, they’re so wholesome :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Highly highly recommended. Eng sub and dub is on YouTube.
The most complete analysis on human nature and philosophy. Naoki Urusawa is a genius. I hope more people can appreciate this very underrated anime.

@psynergy Wow I just realized that the first Manga you recommended was from China. It is very interesting to see it here. It was originally an online novel and yes China has tons of fantasy novels like this that people cultivate themselves using either ancient methods or western methods to become Gods. Thanks for bringing this up! Hope you enjoy more Chinese Mangas :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

I will recommend a Chinese novel here if anyone is interested, called Lord of Mysteries. The author is Cuttlefish that loves diving. It is really interesting and tools of divination and tarot concept and some astrology are integrated in this novel. I think Manga is probably not satisfying but the novel is really good. There is English version available. Really excited to discuss about it with someone here :star_struck: :star_struck:.

Thanks to my son, I’m familiar with Naruto, Dragonball Z, One Piece & Black Clover. I also love anything that has come out of Ghibli Studios. If you asked me which was my favorite, I’d be hard pressed to answer …I like them all.

However, just today he introduced me to “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures (Stardust Crusaders)”. I must say I find their use of tarot fascinating! It’s really well done!
