Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Breaking Away from the Worst Shonen Trope

This spring season has been a slow burn for me. With nothing immediately jumping out and dragging me in with cold, clammy hands. I had to search out which shows I wanted to invest my time into through… recommendations.

Wooderon Movies of the Year 2018: Best Movie

But with each passing episode, I find myself enjoying the show more and more. I felt like I needed to give it some recognition for how much enjoyment it gives me. That being said, I really will have to figure out a better way of organising these lists next year. Hey, if any other anime bloggers out there want to give me their thoughts on it, feel free to do so.

Like in my video game lists, I’ll list and link my previous days entries before getting onto today’s:
