Why Did I Stop Watching Demon Slayer?

While I haven't missed a beat with the first season of Demon Slayer, recent episodes went a bit overboard for my taste. Despite some incredible battles in the series, the narrative veered away from the primary long-term goal, which I found a bit off-putting.

After the First Season

My hiatus from the show wasn't due to a loss of interest. Instead, my transition into university marked a particularly challenging period. The first semester was loaded with stress and significant changes. Consequently, I had to cut down on downloading my own anime and relied on my newfound group of fellow anime enthusiasts to keep me up to date.

These friends helped me discover a lot of new content, and I was grateful for their recommendations. However, an unfortunate incident led me to a particular setback. One of my friends got me the movie Mugen Train in dub rather than subbed. I want to reiterate this because it made a difference. They managed to get the movie I had been eagerly anticipating in a dub version.

Now, don't get me wrong—dubbing isn't inherently bad. I've watched Fairy Tale and the first season of Attack on Titan in dual audio without a problem. But for some reason, the high-pitched voice overs in the demon slayer movie just didn't work for me. It's a subjective choice, and I understand not everyone feels the same.

As for the continued delay in watching the movie, I'm now in my third year of university, and I've found it much more practical to stick to reading the manga. This has become my preferred choice, and it seems to serve me well without the need for synchronized dialogue.

Conclusion

I hope this explanation answers your query satisfactorily. While I still hold a soft spot for the first season of Demon Slayer, other factors have led me to prioritize my preferred form of entertainment—in this case, the manga.
