Kimetsu no Yaiba: Swordsmith Village Arc

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Swordsmith Village Arc (Season 3, 2023, Japan)

Director: Haruo Sotozaki

Writer: Ufotable Studio (based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge)

Mini-review:

At this point it's clear that Kimetsu no Yaiba never fails at being an entertaining, visually stunning spectacle. The action scenes are as showstopping as always, and I can't help but marvel at them whenever I watch them. That being said, I did feel this season was slightly weaker than the previous ones in terms of plot. I don't know, I think it shared a few too many similarities with the Entertainment District Arc, so it ended up feeling very predictable. Thankfully, the character writing is strong enough to (mostly) make up for this. I love seeing the impact that Tanjiro's kindness and candor have on other people. He's just such a lovely character, and my heart broke for him during the last episode. I also loved Tokito's arc, but it left me wishing Kanroji had been developed as much as him. I certainly hope we get to see more of her in the future. One thing I did not like, however, is the show's constant use of internal monologues to explain stuff they could just show. Like, they even explain things that couldn't be more obvious! I hope they realize the audience is smart enough to understand things on their own and that they should drop these internal explanations in future seasons. Anyway, the Swordsmith Village Arc was as fun and action-packed as I expected, and I can't wait to see where the story goes after those final revelations.

Christmas Gift for floralprophecy

Hello! Here is a lovely Christmas giftart for my dear bestie @floralprophecy with Sephiroth, Aerith Gainsborough and Nezuko Kamado! ❤️

We both love Final Fantasy VII and Demon Slayer, so I decided to draw these lovely characters! :3

I know I have until Friday to display, but I was thinking rather do the gifts by the days are made to prevent constant spams lol.

I managed to draw very well with Sephiroth . Especially the Remake version, which I choose to draw ^^ (only the belt buckle was difficult to draw lol). Aerith was a bit hard for her face, and along with Nezuko, but the two still looked spot on ^^

Now, I haven't played FFVIIR, only the OG and Ever Crisis, but it's so much fun to draw the Remake characters <3. I'm hoping to improve a lot to draw them ^^

What y'all think? And I hope you like it, @floralprophecy <3 ❤️

Demon Slayer -- Nothing to Be Afraid Of!

After all day of working, the night became a bit calm and more gentle.

Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke were strolling around the forest. Zenitsu was quivering rapidly, his legs trying to walk. His breathing trembling and sweat tears falling from his head, afraid of what would be in the forest. Ghosts.

Both Tanjiro and Nezuko looked at him with curiosity, while Inosuke looked at him with annoyance.

"What's the matter, Zenitsu?" Tanjiro asked the yellow-orange haired boy.

"Gh-gh-" Zenitsu tried to answer, but stuttering, and whispered to Tanjiro "Ghosts!"

Tanjiro's eyes widened after hearing "ghosts", and Nezuko looked at Zenitsu all funny. Then Tanjiro chuckled, and Nezuko did the same thing, muffling her giggles. Inosuke, for one, huffed and boiled with annoyance.

Zenitsu looked at both of the Kamado siblings that chuckled at him, confused and more petrified. "Wh-what's so funny?" He asked, more paranoid and afraid "THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT ME BEING AFRAID OF GHOSTS!!!".

Tanjiro and Nezuko didn't even flinch at his words as they both placed their hands on Zenitsu's shoulders. "There's nothing to be afraid of in a forest at this time of night!" Tanjiro said "What makes you think ghosts will come here?"

"I-..." Zenitsu started explaining, calming down a bit, his shaking trying to stop "I heard some spooky stories every night that ghosts will come and haunt every one of the humans."

Inosuke sighed, steaming with anger. "That is just some stories people tell every night, but doesn't MEAN it's REAL." He said in defense "GHOSTS AREN'T REAL!!!"

"Inosuke!" Tanjiro said, finding offended by Inosuke's words "Well, some people believe in spirits," He told Zenitsu "but won't mean it'll hurt you."

Zenitsu looks at both Tanjiro and Nezuko, smiling and nodding. Nezuko muffled some giggles and nodded. Inosuke sighed in irritation, and everyone else continued to stroll for the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't worry, Zenitsu! You won't be afraid! ;3

Here is another Halloween artwork with Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Nezuko and Inosuke strolling when Zenitsu was being afraid of ghosts in the woods. The siblings had a good laugh when they assure him there weren't going to be any ghosts, and Inosuke being a hard head xD

It is so annoying when I tried doing rushed art and you get tired lol but hey, gotta have the plans going for Halloween ever since dealing with drama and all that ^^;

And it was hard drawing Demon Slayer characters, and I was barely going to finish it up, but I'll do it the best I can lol.

This was actually rushed, and I'll be posting one more art tomorrow morning before going to Busch Gardens.

What y'all think?

New Fiction 2024 - March

Dark Disciple by Christie Golden (2015)

I couldn't binge SW without going to the library like the old days to grab one of the recent EU novels. This one continues the Asajj Ventress arc that was cut from the final Clone Wars seasons, and I'm ambivalent about the course of events. But it looks like I chose the perfect time to read it because the final season of The Bad Batch will address things that annoyed me about the ending.

Cathedral by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels (2002)

It was feeling a bit shaky in the previous novel (This Gray Spirit) with a lot of time spent on less interesting nuance, but this novel saves this short series by trimming off the expositional fat and keeping up the pace. The cliffhanger ending was fantastic and I've been jittery waiting until I can move on to the next one.

Moby-Dick; or, The Whale by Herman Melville (1851)

Herman, pal, I know what you were going for with the middle 2/3 of this book, but that really should've been a standalone expansion. Tolkien (or maybe his editors) knew to leave that to its own thing. In any case, WHAT A BOOK. How is this from the mid-1800s? Great beginning, great ending, interesting middle for those who can get through the instructional texts on whales and whaling.

"leave your laundry on the floor for them" by Pocketss (2024)

It's good to recycle.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor dev. Respawn Entertainment (2023)

I miss some of the more alien environments from the first game. They definitely borrowed spaghetti western cues from Mandalorian for this, and you see below how much I gripe about that show's influence. Cal's still kind of a dud. But it's great overall. What a fun, huge, expensive-looking game. How does any SW developer going forward beat this?!

Drive-Away Dolls dir. Ethan Coen (2024)

It's reaching out toward those 90s crime comedies the Coens had going, but just kinda falls short. I can't put a finger on what exactly is missing. Maybe it doesn't go far enough?

Madame Web dir. S.J. Clarkson (2024)

One of those laugh-at-the-dialogue-that-isn't-meant-to-be-funny affairs.

Perfect Days dir. Wim Wenders (2024)

I've over the moon for this movie. Just perfect in every way. I felt it in my bones, watched it ten times at theaters all over the area as I chased down showtimes, and I'll gladly watch it again.

The Peasants dir. DK Welchman & Hugh Welchman (2024)

Holy crap, I missed Loving Vincent but this makes me wanna go and check that out, because this animation technique is gorgeous. All of the performances were great, too.

Stopmotion dir. Robert Morgan (2024)

Stopmotion, puppets, horror, madness. It's a perfect combination.

The Taste of Things dir. Tran Anh Hung (2024)

I haven't seen food shot this beautifully since Food Wars.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training dir. Haruo Sotozaki (2024)

Never watched an episode before and I can say that was a helluva fight.

Maestro dir. Bradley Cooper (2023)

Man, I mean, he did it, he sure damn did it, but should he have?

Land of Bad dir. William Eubank (2024)

When the shit hits the fan.

Imaginary dir. Jeff Wadlow (2024)

I was in from the get-go, but it did need a certain something. Maybe 25% more creepy toys.

Love Lies Bleeding dir. Rose Glass (2024)

You'll think you know where it's going but it does not go there.

The American Society of Magical Negroes dir. Kobi Libii (2024)

Justice Smith and An-Li Bogan did amazing work in The American Society of Magical Negroes. Everyone in the cast and crew, really, but they portrayed a lot of complicated feelings and fears with aplomb and also had a really sweet romantic scene that got to me like no romantic scene in recent memory. I fell for Bogan’s character just like Smith’s character did. (And they respond to that by the end.)

Shayda dir. Noora Niasari (2023)

Scheming and plotting to convince my higher-ups to cast Zar Amir Ebrahimi in any of our projects because I just wanna see her cast in more stuff.

One Life dir. James Hawes (2023)

More than most of us.

Problemista dir. Julio Torres (2024)

When there's no choice but to suffer and no one will understand.

Luca dir. Enrico Casarosa (2021)

Oh, this is just The Little Mermaid retold (affectionate).

Late Night with the Devil dir. Cameron Cairnes & Colin Cairnes (2024)

They needed more insanity and a higher frequency of it.

Immaculate dir. Michael Mohan (2024)

Whoa BUDDY, props to Sweeney for going for it in the end.

Exhuma dir. Jang Jae Hyun (2024)

I feel like I'm missing a critical cultural understanding here to get past my tepid response.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 dir. Rhys Frake-Waterfield (2024)

I didn't need to do this again.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire dir. Adam Wingard (2024)

Closing in on minimal humans and maximum giant monsters.

The Bad Batch - Season 2 (2023)

Yep, nailed it. They have great character moments here and it continues the tradition of "oh the clones are more interesting than most everyone else."

Andor (2022)

First half is two thumbs up, second half is one shaky thumb up. Big Mandalorian vibes with the whole return from whence you came narrative arc. I'd like to see them break away from Favreau's influence (I unfairly pin the live action ups and downs on him).

The Mandalorian - Season 3 (2023)

It's getting weird with the father figure thing. And it's befuddling when one has to catch a different show to understand key beats in Mandalorian and Grogu's story. Hype status for more seasons is low.

Ahsoka (2023)

The get-togethers are fun, but it meanders a bit and the ending was a headscratcher. Great combat and Star Wars-iness though. I'd come back for more with a hopeful glint in my eye.

Star Wars Resistance (2018-2020)

They could've had something good here, but they really whiffed most of season 1. It starts to get good at the end of s1 and maybe through half of s2, but then they seemed to tie things up hastily when they knew they were getting cancelled. Can't recommend. :(

Tales of the Jedi (2022)

Anthology Star Wars?! Anthology Star Wars!! They make me care about characters from the movies that meant nothing to me, as is Filoni and co's way.

Star Wars: Visions (2021-2023)

MORE anthology Star Wars?!! And "Screecher's Reach" in the second season kinda wrecked me. Just typing this out makes me think of it again and the tears well. It's from the Secret of Kells studio and it's just a phenomenal short. Both anthology shows are must-watch.

The Outer Limits - Volume 2 (1964)

I'm surprised how little of this first season carries through to the 90s revival that I love so much.
