buena miol

I've made this account but kind of forgot about it. I've been watching anime for 8 years but just got into using this site to mark and rate every show that I've watched a couple of months ago, so yeah I still haven't been through everything i've watched yet


As for overlord ( I only watched seasons 1 and 2), I just remember being incredibly bored with the story due to the painfully slow pacing of the show, not a lot was happening for a long time, the rest of the cast just kept heaping incredible praise on him, every female in the cast wanted him for some reason, I remember the show trying to present him and his guild as evil as a new twist to the genre maybe, but all the characters they killed were already unlikable and had very little screen time to begin with, so that felt pointless
And then the main character, he was boring, had no personality whatsoever, most of his screen time was just internal monologue of exposition and info dumps, and also he was too overpowered to the point that every struggle in the show felt pointless. i get that that was the show's intent and you could make an overpowered character feel interesting, but the show failed at that by never making him look truly impressive. I remember once he killed a super powerful monster that some guy was boasting about summoning, but it felt so flat to me because we never actually got to see how powerful that monster was, so again it was just kind of dumb to me.

I can see it being a 7 for sure, some manga readers say that the show gets even better later on, and I definitely enjoyed it enough to keep watching it so yeah, looking forward to season 2, and like I said in my review, the animation is the best I've ever seen in any show.


I agree that they need to give the demons some characterization, otherwise they're just dumb mindless monsters, my point is just giving it right after he kills them is boring, they could do it while they introduce the demon, to make the character more interesting from the beginning (Gintama had a similar troupe with its villains, where they would always try to redeem them somehow after they were defeated, they did it in a slightly better way than here because the villains' characters always had a lot more to explore than a single flashback, but even then it also got repetitive at the end when they did it with literally every villain).


I agree, comparing any new shounen to HxH is unfair, because HxH is already finished with 148 episodes, and it's also so damn good (it's the best IMO), but I wasn't the one who brought it up, a previous commenter told me that demon slayer had HxH vibes so why did you give it a 6, and I'm sorry I just don't see any similarities between the 2 shows.


And no need to apologize at all, I always want to hear other opinions on the shows I watch, and on my own opinions about them, i enjoy discussing shows that's why i write reviews . As for your friend, sorry to hear that :D I hope he calmed down now, and just accepted the fact that not everyone is going to like the shows he likes as much as he does.
As for Overlord, sadly I've seen it a long time ago so i'd have to watch it again if I were to write a review about it, and that's just not gonna happen, i just remember that I really didn't like it. i think my next review will be about hero academia since it's still fresh in my mind.

1- In my AOT review, I of course focused more on the adaptation of the manga as well, since this is the third season already so I'm very familiar with both the plot and the characters, so I focused more on stuff like the opening and soundtrack , while here I focus on the story because this is the most important aspect when you're getting to know a new show. If you have a problem with the plot and characters then a good opening won't matter at all ( and let's agree to disagree because I think AOT soundtrack is way better but we have different tastes it's fine)


2- There is nothing wrong with having a typical shounen start or plot, it's what you do with it that matters, it's not a flaw on its own. You're absolutely right hero academia is even more typical as a shounen, but what made it way more exciting to me at the beginning was there was a lot of potential in it to be a great story, with interesting conflicts on both sides of heroes and villains, unlike in demon slayer, the villains are just demons and they need to be eradicated. Yes they try to give them characterization when he kills them to show their backstory from when they were still humans, but it's a lot more boring this way, every time he kills a demon, they just show that he used to be a good guy before killing all these people, I just find it a lot less interesting.
Now I'm not saying hero academia is great because they definitely didn't live up to the full potential of the show, the show declined in the quality of writing a lot, which is why I gave season 3 a low rating, so maybe demon slayer ends up being better than hero academia overall, but the start of hero academia was more exciting and promising to me. (A good example of how a cool and realistic superhero society with villains can and should function is "The boys", it's a great show you should check it out if you haven't).


3- As for the big pile of bullshit as you call it, I don't want Tanjiro to be a crybaby, but there's a difference between being a crybaby and just being way too perfect to be a real character. His entire family was slaughtered in episode 1, in episode 2 he'd already moved on and started cracking jokes, and for the rest of the season there is not a single time where he remembers his family except in episode 19 where he needed a random power up out of nowhere. That's not how a normal human deals with death of family members, i don't want him to dwell on that and do nothing for the rest of his life, but oh my God you couldn't even tell it happened if you missed the first episode. In HxH when kite ( who Gon considered to be like a second dad) died, it changed who Gon was for the rest of the show, he couldn't handle the grief and responsibility he felt, and decided he'd rather die killing pitou than live with the guilt. In parasyte when shinichi's mum died, again it literally changed him for the rest of the show. That's what good writing looks like, death of a close family member should have consequences, but here in demon slayer it wasn't like that, it was just used as a plot device, he needed a motive for his objective, so yeah just let demons kill his family, and then for the rest of the show have it have no consequences on him psychologically as a character, that's lazy writing.
Of course any shounen protagonist would have more courage than the average human being, so that he could face the dangers of that world, so in that sense, none of these characters are too realistic, but good writing can make them feel as real as possible, and in Tanjiro's case, he's just completely unrelatable on every level, which makes him very boring.
A well written main character needs to feel realistic to the audience at some level, or relatable, or at least have some conflicts that makes the viewer question himself or what he would do in a certain situation, that's what makes him interesting, Tanjiro fallls short in that category
Any way thanks for commenting, would like to hear your thoughts if you're still not convinced
