    Anyone watch the new demon slayer movie? It almost beat mortal kombat in the box office.

    Also think it broke a record for highest grossing foreign film opening weekend.

    Right now there's anime airing called Shadows House with 3 out of 13 episodes out so far. I got intrigued cuz the ED slaps:



    It's about living dolls with faces that serve their shadow masters who have no faces and they're supposed to represent their masters' identity in the mansion they're living in

    Going into this completely blind and other people recommending it, there's definitely a lot of mystery that will get uncovered and I feel like it's gonna be get a lot darker than the 1st 3 episodes already imply. I recommend checking it out before more episodes stack on

    After Wonder Egg Priority I'm suspicious of anything that's acclaimed for being edgy

    It's super impressive visually and has a cool premise dealing with some heavy themes, but I felt like it half-assed its message and didn't really say anything. I wouldn't say it's really bad, but it's kinda formulaic and repetitive.

    I'm halfway through and I f---ing love it so far. The main character Ai is lovable and Rika is hilarious lol. It's not that edgy so far

    Im halfway through the first season of demonslayer and its decent. i feel like this is a manga thing to get the whole picture in order to make sense of everything. Alot of this show doesnt make sense and thats the problem when manga's become tv shows. Am I the only one here?

    not sure what’s not making sense. It made sense to me. Demon slayer isn’t my favorite. But it looks good visually. And it’s so big I feel like not watching it I would feel left out.

    I'd recommend everyone to read/watch Tokyo Revengers. It's about Love, Revenge, Time Travel and Japanese Street Gangs and very addictive. Might be the next big thing

    It's a pretty straight forward show actually. Story is generic (so far) and character depth basically nonexistent but it's probably the most gorgeous eye candy anime I've ever watched (with Fate: Unlimited Budget Works as a close second)

    The different water forms are never really explained nor what the backstory of how demonslayers came to exist unless I missed something?

    Finished watching this last night and it's REALLY good. I personally don't notice anything formulaic about it. Every episode has variation and lot to reveal. The symbolism, concepts and the overall plot are quite unique as well

    I can see how episodes 10 to 12 are edgy tho but they work imo. There are also a few questions left to be answered but there will be a 13th episode at the end of June. I wonder if there will be a second season as well

    Overall it's like an 8/10, not perfect but definitely worth watching

    @Donkey Kong Country @Chrollo @Ordinary Joel I recommend watching at least the 1st 2 episodes and seeing if you'd like it

    Most episodes play out the same way, and the villains are basically copy/pasted. Was also very disappointed that it seemed to be gearing up to make some kind of statement about suicide and depression but ultimately didn't really say anything beyond a vague "yeah bullying is bad, I guess"

    One of the funniest scenes I've ever seen, with obvious mecha anime references lol. Post some of your favorite anime comedy scenes!
