Review:
I haven't been keeping up with this series, so this is my first
volume in a while. And I just don't get it. I'm trying, but I just
don't.
As the volume starts, we're in the middle of a train attack, and
everyone's in danger, and Tanjiro is seriously wounded. There's a
fight, and then some very heartwarming words are exchanged as people
are dying. Tanjiro passes on some passing words to a family member,
and then they're on to a new case.
Everything just feels so one-dimensional in this series. The artwork
is not good, in my opinion, and doesn't give me any emotional
feelings, and is very 2D. This just portrays into the words, as none
of the emotions are presented well enough, and none of the characters
seem very fleshed-out, so it feels rushed and one-dimensional.
I wish I liked this series, and honestly I wonder if the anime just
does a much better job of it, but I just can't with this one.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
