And since you brought up JJK, so Firin is super popular.
The manga sold like 35 million copies.
JJK sold like 150 million or something.
You know, it's a phenomenon.
And I just checked out the first couple episodes of the show and then also the fourth episode of the current season, which you had recommended to me because it's an animation showcase episode.
So I was completely lost going from season one to season three.
I have no idea what's happening, but it was pretty impressive.
It was extremely bloody.
I like, you know, the set up, the hook for anyone who hasn't seen Jujutsu Kaisen.
It's, you know, high school kids.
is trying to, you know, conquer a curse by absorbing this demon, essentially.
You know, there's a lot of demon slaying that happens, not just in Demon Slayer, but also JJK, also Frearin, for that matter.
And, you know, he's like a vessel for this curse, but also is hunting down this curse and training and all that, right?
So...
I am not as immediately hooked by this, I think, as I was by Frearin, for instance.
It's a very different vibe, obviously.
There might be demon killing as a comparison, but beyond that, it's a very different kind of show.
But I see the appeal.
But tell me what you think for the many people listening who probably are watching the current season.
How are you feeling about it?
