You all asked, so I watched KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix. Boy howdy was I missing out! This Sony Studios anime that took over the world this fall was incredible. The music, the animation, the characters….and the message.
I found it to be quite countercultural and worthy of praise for atleast three reasons, which I explain in the video below…..
Evil is not secretly good
Duties can be ugly, but you don’t have to be ugly
Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source
K-Pop Demon Hunters is bizarre, brilliant, and better than I thought it would be. A rare piece of pop culture that plays with good and evil without making apologies for the baddies. For Geeky Stoics, that’s a breath of fresh air. We need more stories that are brave enough to draw some lines in the sand.
Happy Halloween, and have a great weekend!
