I’m just going to lay it all out. I have enjoyed The Case Study of Vanitas since episode 1. I think it’s a surprisingly good show with an adaptation that outdoes the source material, or at the very least, brings out the best of it. But this arc elevates the whole. The Beast of Gévaudan…
Well, things are certainly looking though in Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 9, “Defeating and Upper Rank Demon”. That’s quite a misleading episode title there! I’m going to break up the post in a more general discussion of the seasons as well as a few targeted observations about the episode itself. I do plan…
Once in a while, The Case Study of Vanitas plays it straight. Not often, but there are moments that feel earnest.

You may not believe this but I have a number of friends who refuse to watch The Case Study of Vanitas no matter how much I assure them they will love it. Which once again makes me think that reviews may just not be my strong suit. And to them, I say…you guys are missing…
I really like science fiction and I don’t think I own any manga that qualifies as that. I guess Dark Dai is a comedy, horror, science fiction but that’s as close as it gets for me. I was hoping that No.5 would open up a whole new genre to explore. I guess I could always…
In Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 7, “Transformation,” Nezuko’s confrontation with Warabihime/Daki seems to be a draw. Although Nezuko winning this fight might mean her losing something a lot more precious. But thankfully her brother is there for her. Meanwhile, Uzui finally catches up with them. It seems that there’s more than just flash…
The Case Study of Vanitas is back for its second cour and I couldn’t be happier. I think this should make you happy as well because if it wasn’t, I would just have a Platinum End post on Saturdays and that just won’t do! I might as well come clean. This episode thrilled me. I’m…

This week, we will be looking at Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc episode 5, “Things Are Gonna Get Real Flashy”. This is the establishment of Tengen Uzui’s “redemption”, if you could really call it that, established in the first episode of the arc. For those of you that remember, episode 4 ended on a bit…
I’m not sure if it was planned from the start but it turns out that AMAIM is going to be a split cour now and we will have to wait until March to see the rest. Now Scott, when you first told me this I thought, ok, that’s fine. A single-season break is not too…
