Welcome back, anime girlies! This week, we’re diving into Demon Slayer Season 1. We both watched the first 21 episodes and we’re talking first impressions of Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, the emotional storytelling, and how Demon Slayer compares to Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, and My Hero Academia when it comes to character tropes and emotional stakes.
Ali opens up about struggling with typical shonen tropes as a shoujo girlie, and we EVEN discuss some aspects she found problematic... hope you enjoy!
💖 Anime for Blondes drops new episodes every Monday, and don’t forget, our Apothecary Diaries Book Club begins this October on the last Wednesday of every month, starting with Light Novel 4!
💬 Tell us in the comments: do YOU think Demon Slayer is worth the hype, especially if you’re someone who typically avoids action-based anime?!
Anime for Blondes is created and produced by Becca Reagan and Alisa Patience, bringing you the ultimate female-gaze takes on anime like DanDaDan, Witch Watch, The Apothecary Diaries, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Solo Leveling!
