Talk:Sanemi Shinazugawa/@comment-39927783-20191020040953/@comment-44263480-20191028192204

As a person who watched small part of Anime by watching Nightcore video, I got hooked and watched the Anime series, only realizing that it is far behind Manga thanks to this thread.

I have to say after reading 180 Chapters (there are only this many in English, I don't know about Japan, but my Japanese was never good enough to read more than a Menu), I still dislike the portrayal of Sanemi as he was shown in Manga and Anime.

But while I have only small problem with his Manga version - he behaved like a jerk, the Anime version does a worse job, since it leaves the scene at cliffhanger and between what Sanemi does, what Master says about miss Tamayo and everything in the beggining of episode 23, it can be easily missed that Master says that this proves Nezuko won't attack Human - and in Manga Sanemi reacts differently BTW.

And of course you forget about all of the details once Zenitsu starts his Whining - which while passable in Manga, in Anime is Overwhelmingly annoying (probably because the voice is added).

And since we are on topic of tragic backgrounds - they don't excuse bad behavior - so I cannot say that now I can absolutely forgive Sanemi, but at least I can understand. My favorite background is: MANY SPOILERS ALERT AHEAD

3rd Upper Moon's one. Yes the demons one is the most compelling - although as usual in Manga a bit far-fetched ;) to say the least. But when he disobeys his master's order to be with his Family it shows that he is different than others. Unlike other demons, he doesn't only start to remember his past (at all or correctly, depending on other demons) but he actively fights regenerating and basically kills himself.
