![]() Kimetsu no Yaiba is the type of anime series that might not appear all that interesting to fans who feel that they’ve outgrown the type of entry-level shounen action anime that’s been the fandom’s gateway for so many young otaku. ![]() I tend not to be all that interested in straight-up action series, but I can appreciate the ability of that genre to impress visually through cool animation and action choreography. Impressions: While I’m an anime fan who’s often more in awe of stories that push genre boundaries or provide unique insights into human psychology or society, there’s also something very satisfying about storytelling that treads familiar ground and does so in a way that remains compelling in spite of its familiarity. Tanjiro believes that his sister still exists somewhere, and he’ll do whatever he can to heal her of this demonic affliction. She’s gained the blood of the demons who attacked her family, and her senses have gone haywire. Nezuko has gained an extreme amount of strength and a lust for blood, and attacks her own brother in her rage. Tanjiro carries her through the snow to see a doctor, but when she awakens it’s clear that she’s undergone a horrible transformation. The only person left alive is his sister Nezuko, but she’s in poor shape. In the morning, Tanjiro arrives home to a horrific situation – the smell of blood lingers in the air and the bodies of his family are sprawled throughout the property. The old widower living along the mountain path warns of demons roaming the mountain at night, and convinces Tanjiro to stay the evening. He leaves for town in the morning, sells his wares (and uses his keen sense of smell so solve a few minor mysteries for the townspeople), only making his way back up the mountain as the moon rises. As the new year approaches, he plans to sell as much hand-made charcoal as he can so that his mother and siblings will have enough food to eat for the celebration. Streaming: Crunchyroll, Funimation, and HuluĮpisode Summary: Tanjiro is a hard-worker and loves his family.
