Yeah, with anime, it's a lot of inner monologuing that's either voiced as the characters' thoughts or characters expressing them out loud. It's a lot of showing while telling in anime cause most are adaptations of Mangas(comics) where the action is in still panels so the characters describe what's happening. Great reaction as always.❤
Thank you for this context & for always watching with us!! 🥰🫶🏼
yes exactly this. Its something you see in many animes
yeah, anime adaptations kinda struggle with the many text boxes some manga have, especially the ones that have a lot of inner monologue or narration, because how do you translate those text boxes to animation?
shonen manga (manga for teenage boys) also do a lot of exposition because of the target audience, but while being a shonen and after the first episodes (where there's a lot of wordbuilding and exposition is kinda unavoidable), Demon Slayer actually is more of a "show don't tell" series imo. the author does a good job balancing dinamic and informative panels, with beautiful drawings that tell you exactly what is happening and text that adds to that. the manga doesn't really feel exposition heavy imo, again, except from the first eps and some other episodes here and there. there's just a lot of inner monologue and flashbacks to understand the characters and their actions, but doesn't feel like they're repeating/explaining everything that is happening. the anime eventually also finds that balance.
One thing to remember about Demon Slayer:
When there's a fight scene, the animation department will suddenly gain an unlimited budget.
😂😂
😂
For real. When Meesh said the animation goes hard in the opening, I just thought "oh, just you wait". 😂
Be aware that some episodes have an after credits scene.
all episodes
In addition to the "inner monologue" and such, another very common pattern you will see in anime is something referred to as "anime time": in these cases, there may be a lot of hectic stuff going on in the scene, but somehow the characters will still have the time & attention to engage in a conversation of some kind, despite the action, as if the characters have an isolated, frozen moment in time in which to talk. In bad cases, it might seem out of place & jarring, but in the best cases, it's done specifically to highlight a character moment that grabs your attention SO MUCH that you don't even notice it happening in the moment.
Nezuko inside the basket is literally the most adorable thing I've ever seen 😭
She is so cute 😭🥹
Yup, she instantly became the darling of anime when this show released.
Oh, I can't wait till you get to see a proper fight scene. Demon Slayer has some of the best fight animations.
Also as a note, think of the demons more like vampires than anything.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
vampires that like the pulp more than the juice
They're a mix between vampire (not going out into the sun) and ghouls (eating flesh and not just blood)
I like both monster so i kinda like the mix of it too
I've been following you two since Castlevania's reactions, I'm glad you're entering the world of anime, Demon Slayer is a great start, I hope you like it, lots of love from Brazil💚
Aww thanks for watching along with us! We’re sending all the love to Brazil 🇧🇷❤️
The intro song is called Gurenge by LiSa its on spotify, theres also a paino version of it from the the "first take" also on spotify
Thanks for this!!
God yes LiSA's acoustic version is LIFE!!! (Also her acoustic version of other demon slayer OPs, you'll know when you get there.)
@@MeeshDeeReacts LiSa is really famous and has done a lot of anime music work, normal music and maybe even acting?! (i don't remember)
The drama surrounding her is kinda sad, so i don't recommend checking it but her voice and her work is a blessing ^^
@@MeeshDeeReactsyou two HAVE to react to LiSa’s first takes. Absolutely incredible!
Always happy to see a new react notification from yall! Letsgoooo
7:07 welcome to Tanjiro's incredibly hard head. This is a tool that will help us later! 😅
Yay!! Thanks for watching along 🥰
1:14 “it’s like he has a pet demon sister” LMAO perfect description
I remember seeing her punt the demon's head off for the first time too. I just started laughing due to how insane and abrupt that was.
You may see more exposition from shows that have been adapted from shonen manga, whose primary audience is teenage boys. Because the original format is a comic book, you would have read more thoughts or narrative explanations. It also depends on the storytelling style of the original creator. Demon Slayer seems to have a lot of exposition as you can hear the thought processes of the characters.
Nezuko’s ability to express emotions without talking is sooo special especially for a 2d format
Oh boy, y'all got a loooong way to go! I can't wait for y'all to get caught up.
Enjoying the reactions will be along for the ride
lol it was fun hearing you chatting about one of the most prevalent anime b.s. tropes - the over-explanation so that there is no ambiguity about motivation.
just finished on commending on your first reaction and notice we have another !
about the over explaining. in anime there is alot of inner monolog , alot of the time ull hear thougths, be ware that the first season is way slower since there is alot of new info that comes every episode. dont warry ! it will grow on u !
one thing that all anime fan can say for sure, demon slayer have one of the best animation from the "newest generation" anime, so dont forget the enjoy that too, most of the veteran anima fan have started when animation was very bad and seen Demon slayer was cinema !
cant wait to see more of u 2 !
u watching frieren would be the greatest chrictmas gift for meee. UR GONNA LOVE ITTTTTTTT
The way that bamboo yeeted him 😂
Oh boy Tanjiro going through it 😂😂
The inner monologue is helpful in the long run though cause there's going to be new terms and scenarios that both the viewer and character is confused about. It will explain why a certain action was made or why this character says something like this cause there are multiple times where the characters are hard to figure out because of their demeanor or there's an anime trope being done. So kindly observe their mouths if it's moving or not😂
continue reacting to this showww itsss so gooooo
I think the reason why you see so much inner monologs in anime is that a lot of them are adapted from mangas. They only have a few panels to show a scene, so the manga writers have to describe what is happening or what a character is feeling via inner monologs. Most amines are trying to stay as true to the adaptation as possible so the monologs stay in.
毎回最後にある「大正シークレット」も観てくださいね。
You’ve got a long way to go!
The demons on this show is basically like vampires which is why they don't come out during the daytime.
Ur forgetting about nezuko 😂I won't spoil it though
@kokushibo267 I didn't forget about Nezuko I was talking about demons in general
@@MeenaRuth2093 🤝
the intro ❤ I would love to see you react it “first take”
Over-explanation is common in the Shounen anime genre, whether action or sports; it's not usually common in other genres.
my prediction with this two ladies, will cry😁
next next next episode 😍
Demons in this world are a lot like vampires, though not exactly.
These are nice and relaxing videos
Demon slayer is done by ufotable studio, and ufotable is known for quality animation.
The Demon slayer intro is so good! Tanjiro is a water boy, but he's no Adam Sandler if u get what I mean..
Kickball Champion Nezuko😊
Yo yall started the demon slayer series? This is gunna be a good one!
LFGGG 🙏🏼🥰
Oh yes its a great anime and once you watch it in English and japenese wow its cool
If forget how old school Evil Dead this episode is.
Ep2 already?! What’s the schedule drop?
Strangely enough, I think even for anime, Demon Slayer has a lot of "telling" than "showing". It's very common in anime for characters to explain their thought processes, however what I have noticed in Demon Slayer is an over-explanation of what is alrealdy being shown to us. So I understand what you guys are trying to say, and just so you know, not every anime is like that.
Mostly due to the nature of anime adaptations, especially this specific adaptation is worse than most. Tons of showing for the important parts and subtle nuances, ones that aren't taken away by the adaptation at least.
Well, You couldn't have picked a better anime to start with. My first time was with "Re:Creators". And after all this time, it still stands as one of the best series I've watched. Hopefully you get that same good feeling of wanting MORE anime while watching Demon slayer as I had with Re:Creators... After it finished I just wanted MORE ANIME! I believe my second series was "Gangsta" and my 3rd was "Death parade"... Death parade is still one of my fav OP's..
All demons were once human, as you saw with how Nezuko transformed. So it’s not too crazy to consider that they are conscious and intelligent
Plz try not to watch opening if you guys don't want any spoilers....
So many good anime! If you wish i linked web list!
Just a reminder it's demon slayer is the King of animation 👑💖I'm obsessed with dmkny. I've watched all the reactors of dmkny😅 hoping to see you guys react all the seasons here are the peak s1 ep19 ,s2 ep10 never give up😅s3 ep11 and the king 👑 s4 ep8 it will blow ur mind the animation too insanely crazy 😂after that we all waiting for the trilogy movie I'm mostly excited for my favourite demon upper moon 1 kokushibo 💖 vs genya, muichiro sanami and the strongest hashira gyomei 😊
I love yall!
My recommendations
Anime: Spy x Family
Movie: Joseph the King of Dreams
That thing on tanjiro forehead is not a birthmark and i rlly wanna tell u what it us but i dont wanna spoil either😭
The show does a great job of mixing CG with traditional animation, at least until the CG gets really heavy eventually, and becomes a bit more obvious.
This version of "demons" is extremely close to vampires, to continue the Castlevania theme. The exposition might be a bit heavier in the beginning, because they have more to explain during the world-building phase. My biggest anime cliche peve is when characters say or yell each others' names to express emotion, without saying anything else.
Naw I disagree on the hatchet demon because he didn't say what just happened he expressed his regret. Also I've seen many American shows/movies where characters monologue their reasons for doing things so I don't really see it.
Nezuko and Tanjiro the best team of brothers🎉💯🥇👍🏻
19:43 🤔 never noticed, can You give a for instance.
Indeed, even as a Japanese person, I think this work is overly descriptive, but I guess the intention is for it to appeal to everyone. You'll get used to it eventually^^
I suggest that you should skip the intro in all seasons because it will show some spoilers☺️But overall, great reaction vid. Will support this journey❤❤❤
Thanks for the tip! 🫶🏼
Yeah, a lot of these anime tropes can be jarring for first time watchers... that's why I think Demon Slayer is not a great gateway into this medium, it's not a great anime to start with. BUT, if you actually get to like it then well... I guess you can watch any other.
Are u from morroco?
A lot of people are bothered by the internal dialogue, which is def an anime thing. I saw the pinned comment but I just wanted to say yall aren't alone in your reaction to it lol
arcane please
i agree with meesh, i found it weird that the one character narrated his actions 🤔 thank you for this intro to anime ladies 👍☺
Thanks for watching with us!! 😊🙏🏼
What's so scary about this? You guys are always scared. I can tell at a glance that you don't watch horror fighting anime.
amazing you actually know how to pronounce the word Corps you are the 1%. other stupid reactors pronounce it corpse
