imagine being uzui. training all your life, being extremely strong, even for a hashira, being in the corps for 7-8 years, all that-- and even making it out of a fight against an upper moon alive. missing a hand and an eye, but still alive.
(granted, it was with the help of some kids)
and then, after you retire, you learn that some 14y/o kid you worked with. who has amnesia. who has only been in the corps for 2 years. who's one of the smallest people you know. and is definitely not close to the strongest of the hashira. just killed an upper moon all on their own. and that upper moon is stronger than the one you killed.
that's gotta take a toll on your ego.
and if not, it definitely changed uzui's views on muichiro.
Finally completed the main demons from the series! This one took a long while compared to the rest… _(:3 」∠)_
The next set(s) of Virtual Hugs will now be done at my own pace, and I won’t reveal the exact list of characters I plan to draw. Do look forward to it, along with other projects that I have in mind!

My overall thoughts about the series is: it's good. Of course it's still a shonen anime and it ain't perfect, but it knows what it's doing and does it well.
The first episode actually gave me very low expectations because of a couple of shots that lingered a bit too long. My worry there coming from anime like season 2 of One Punch Man where they noticeably loweres the quality of the animation and jusr hoping it wasn't the case here.
But I can genuenly confirm that it was to save for the grand finale of the last like, I wanna say 5 episodes, even thought it's 11 total, because it really showed to use the budget to have grandiose visuals that genuenly escalated more and more as the show went on.
There were times where me my mom and I genuenly thought all was lost. And that's great. Like, we both knew "of course they won't die" because we know narrative structures, but the suspension of desbelief that was created THROUGH the emotions that the show was giving us was simply stellar. Not to mention even the fact that it left us genuenly wanting to see what happened next for like 6 episodes in a row. It knew what it was doing and it did it well.
The climactic scenes of the last fight were sublime and I swear, I need to see them in HD to even comprehend how much was going on animation and coreography wise.
