    Some great action, bloody violence, and Tanjiro is a fun protag.
    Definitely avoids being Asta for sure, which is a good thing.

    Felt. Love movies, prefer them over series. Sometimes less is more you know? But we're living in an age where longer series and binge watching is preferred and it's just feeling like a commitment sometimes.

    and this just reminds me of how much of a utter manga psycho i am.

    i'm probably the only person here who has not only read "hajime no ippo", but has re-read it at least 3 times.

    as a reminder, hajime no ippo has been going on since 1989 and currently has 1434 chapters. and its still on going.

(he's up to alabasta). he says its hard to stop because the show makes you fall for the characters and the world. if you don't wanna watch it, that's fine with me. just saying there is a reason why, out of the big three, its still going on.
    Big three? And thanks, was worried you thought I was insulting it or something. It honestly looks like fun, just too big and I don't want to start something so big I might never finish it - which has happened more than once with me and some anime I was into for a time.

    Has anyone told you you're a mad lad yet today? Because if not, I'd strongly consider telling you that.

    Cast expand in a good way season two?
    Season one introduced a lot of big name demon hunters you rarely saw after that one or two episode part, outside the butterfly lady who got decent screen time.

    and just to make people question my sanity even more. i counted all the ongoing manga and manwha that i am currently reading.

    final count: 135 weekly, bi-weekly and monthly manga, manwha and webtoons across 3 different sites.

    and that's not counting all the finished ones i've read, which is probably double that number.

    Yeah the Hashira get a lot to do in the later seasons, generally fighting alongside the main guys. The Mugen Train Arc, which got its own Movie Adaptation as well, prominently features the Flame Hashira Rengoku and he's amazing. I won't spoil the Boss Fight at the end but it gives you an idea of the higher level fighters in their 'verse.

    Show wise though, the first episode hits hard.

    spoilers:

    Did not expect Javi's arm to get blown off like that. There's no blood but that's probably the worst injury a Ranger's taken.
    end of spoilers
    Yeah, I've seen the whole thing. I had a good time with it

    I don't believe the movie itself is but the second season covers basically the same material anyway so it should be all good.

    The season after that, the Pleasure District Arc, has one of the most insane team battles I've seen in a while. Fantastic stuff.

    IIRC the episodes covering the movie events are literally just the movie, cut into anime episodes. With a few additional scenes to fill things out
