> Source: [DEMON SLAYER WILL BE REPLACED?? | Answering Your Burning Questions | Q&A](https://youtube.com/watch?v=m7zHI6YK2iA)

## Summary

In this candid Q&A, anime YouTuber Hana finally answers the questions her subscribers submitted for her 100K milestone (now at 137K). She covers everything from Demon Slayer character opinions and favorite anime to the harsh realities of growing a YouTube channel and whether Demon Slayer could ever be replaced as her top hyperfixation.

### Key Points

- **Q&A finally happening** [00:17] — Hana is at 137K subscribers, finally recording the 100K Q&A months later due to a hectic schedule.
- **Secretly hated character** [02:07] — She says she doesn't secretly hate any major character, but picks an irrelevant side character who dumped her.
- **Most underrated character** [03:07] — Hana believes Tanjiro is underrated because main characters' development is the whole story, so they get overlooked.
- **Favorite underrated anime** [05:51] — The Case Study of Vanitas is her pick; she praises its interesting characters and twisty plot and hopes for another season.
- **Dream sequel** [07:04] — She would write a slice-of-life Demon Slayer sequel focused on the characters living happily.
- **Top 3 anime** [08:01] — Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, and The Apothecary Diaries are her top three.
- **Least favorite Hashira** [09:55] — Obanai is her least favorite because his backstory comes too late and she doesn't like how he treats Tanjiro.
- **Least favorite arc** [11:19] — The Hashira Training arc, though she still rates every arc 8/10 or higher.
- **Could Demon Slayer be replaced?** [12:00] — She thinks something will eventually become her new hyperfixation, possibly Witch on Holy Night, but Demon Slayer will stay in her top three.
- **Pets** [15:33] — Her cat is named Nezuko and her dog is Mika, short for Mikasa.
- **The struggle of growing a channel** [16:42] — She admits she doesn't make enough for full-time YouTube, is chasing an unknown threshold for event invitations, and recently had a bad month, but remembers she's only been posting consistently for two years.
- **How she discovered anime** [19:26] — Her husband introduced her; she watched Avatar: The Last Airbender in 2020 and realized she liked animation, having been sheltered from Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon as a homeschooled kid.
- **Anime she didn't enjoy** [21:19] — Vinland Saga had good writing but she didn't connect with any characters.
- **Fun fact pet peeve** [23:26] — The false 'fun fact' that Shinobu told everyone her plan except Gyomei bothers her because canon clearly shows she only told Kanao.
- **YouTube advice** [26:25] — Start with content you genuinely love, but if you want to grow, pay attention to the numbers and give the audience what they want; also, don't take comments personally.

### Conclusion

The video delivers a mix of personal anime opinions and raw creator honesty, with the central takeaway that hyperfixations can shift but genuine passion remains. For aspiring YouTubers, the key is to balance love for the subject with attention to what the audience responds to.

## Transcript

I definitely meant to do this when I hit 100K. I'm at 137K, so I'm a little late.
channel and to another video. Today I am doing my next Q&A. This was supposed to be for my 100,000 subscriber, but that happened all the way back in January. It is July. Let's just say life got a little bit hectic and I finally found
time to do it. I believe the last time I did one was at 80K, which was almost exactly a year ago. So, it feels right to be doing it again. And fun fact, this video was voted on by my members to do this week. So, if you also want to help
decide what videos I do every single week, as well as some other fun perks emojis, make sure you hit the join button below. Now, I'm going to try and get through as many as possible. I pretty much set myself a timer for
roughly 30 minutes to record. I feel like that's kind of my sweet spot. So maybe I'll split this into two parts because I believe I got like over 70 questions, which by the way, thank you. That's like really exciting to me that
so many of you are interested in hearing just random answers to random questions. don't feel bad. It's not anything against you. It's just I'm racing right in. But before we do, don't forget to like this video, subscribe to the
thoughts. My 30th birthday is two months away almost exactly and I am trying to get to 30,000 followers on there before or by then. Right now I'm about at 18K, so I've been doing pretty good over there. So if you want to join in on
of thing that I don't usually post here. So make sure you follow me. It's linked in the description. All right, enough of an opening. Let's get into it. Now, a lot of the questions that y'all submitted are specifically Demon Slayer
of those, but since my entire channel is questions might actually just turn into an entire video. So, keep that in mind. something that's going to be addressed in a video at some point. But our first
question is, which character in Demon Slayer do you secretly hate? It can be demon or demon slayer. I don't know if I secretly hate any of the characters because fun fact, I'm pretty vocal about the characters that I love and the
everyone who watches me knows I'm not the biggest fan of Gyoko or man or Doma that are just like not really characters that I enjoy. So, I wouldn't say there's really anyone that I secretly hate. Um, I'm thinking of like the random side
characters. There's like random side characters that are annoying. For the answering the question, I'll go with the guy that dumped me because I don't think it's a secret, but I don't really talk about it because he's pretty irrelevant
to the story, but I hate him. Which character in Demon Slayer is underrated? [laughter] And if I said Tonito,
lot of times main characters are underrated in their own fandoms because it is definitely more common to prefer some of the other characters. Main characters often because they're the main character, their development is the
story as a whole while for like the side characters, they get their own moments. So I do feel like a lot of times the main characters get underrated because whole story until the very end since the
I just don't see a ton of people love on Tanito, and I would love to see more because I think he deserves a lot more love. So, yes, my answer is Tonito. This
one was interesting. I'm just going to answer it quickly. Have you ever Captain Max Demon Slayer is extraordinarily incompetent video? I have considered this. The problem is the
video rage baits me and I can only get like 15 minutes through it before I literally am rage quitting because [music] every single thing that he says he tries to bring up as objective and it's not. It's all subjective. And a lot
of it, like literally the first thing he brought up, okay, okay, this is going to this is going to be my my quick rant and then I might address it at some point. I don't think so. I'm not really in the business for like coming at other
creators. I don't really like that kind of content, so I probably won't. But I will say, I think it was the very first point he made is that it's never explained how the swords work. But the scene that he was playing as B-roll
explained how the swords worked. And then he pinned a comment where he said, "Sorry y'all, I missed that." you know, it was explained in that episode, which it was explained in that episode, which means something like either A, he did
show and therefore none of the points that he's making have any merit because he clearly wasn't paying attention or B, he knew that it was in that scene and chose to put it in anyway, which also means none of the points after have any
merit because he's willing to just lie in order to make his points. Either way, as soon as I saw that, to me, that means I'm not going to take his opinion at all. And that's it. I think I got about halfway through the video before I was
just like, I this is dumb. I just don't understand why you would spend the hours understand why you would spend the hours upon hours upon hours to drag on those hours talking about things that you love. I just don't get it. Okay, the
first non Demon Slayer related question. What anime do you think is underrated or too overhated? and deserves to have more attention. So, I wouldn't say there's shows that are over hated outside of Demon Slayer that I watch. I feel like
most of the other shows, the criticism that I see for it is fairly average. I'm going to go just the more underrated route and I'm going to say The Case Study of Vanitz is like my favorite underrated anime. The case study of
underrated anime. The case study of Vanitz is about Vanitas who is a human but is acting as a doctor to vampires and he kind of lives in the in between watched it so I might get some of the plot a little bit off. But the
characters are really interesting. The story is going in like a lot of twisty turns. You don't really know where it's going. And I really like it. It only has one season. People say it's two. It was one season with two cores. But I'm
hoping it'll get another season at some point. Natski Hana plays Vonyitas and watching it. So that's my favorite underrated anime. Now I will say I would say it's rated M for mature. It's definitely got some mature themes in it.
mind. I like this one. If you could write any sequel to any anime series, what would it be about and which anime would you choose to make it for? So, this might be pretty predictable, but I would actually love a slice of life
Demon Slayer sequel. I know a lot of people see like a sequel to Demon Slayer ends, which I'm not going to get into cuz I don't want to have to like tell anime only they can't watch this video. But, I do genuinely
wish we could just see some happiness, some just like regular life with the characters. And I do wish there were a couple of things that they kind of tied up a little bit more at the end, which I would do in that situation. So, I've
actually, what's funny, whenever I read fanfiction, I tend to lean more towards the fanfiction that takes place postcanon because I just like reading about our characters being normal kids. So, I would probably write a sequel to
Demon Slayer and have it be a slice of life. Okay, this is an easy one that I can hopefully get through fast. My top three anime. My top three anime are number one, Demon Slayer. Obviously, number three, The Apothecary Diaries,
been a mystery. Some people have been trying to guess it while I'm giving you your answer. Now, my number two favorite anime is Attack on Titan. Attack on Titan was actually my first like official anime
experience. I watched Unity on Ice when it came out in 2016. However, I was only skater and the figure skating world was talking about it. Attack on time was the actually started watching it because I had interest in anime. So, it holds a
special place in my heart. It's also just a total masterpiece from beginning to end. I loved every second of it. I cried a lot over it. I don't really make many videos on it for two reasons. Number one is I mean it ended like three
years ago so I feel like most everything that's been talked about with them has been talked about. And number two is I don't know if I can do the story justice so I just leave it be. This one's different. How was the Mahoyo trailer at
Anime Expo? Will you be watching? So Mahoyo I believe is Witch on Holy Night. It was really good. Um I don't know much about the story at all but the trailer was really good and I definitely intend to go and see it. Who is your least
favorite Hashida and why? Okay, so before I answer this, I always like to put out the disclaimer. I love all nine Hashida. I genuinely think they are all very good characters with very interesting stories. When it comes to
ranking them, I actually find it pretty difficult because Guu remains on top as a favorite Hashida. The rest rotate quite often. I'm not going to lie, it is almost never the same. I can't say that I love all of them equally, but I can
I love all of them equally, but I can say that they're all very, very lovable. And even when I have a least favorite Hashida, it's just because they are at the bottom of all of them, they're still easily top 15 characters of the story.
And my least favorite Hashida is Obana. The main reason is, and again, I'm going to try and say this without spoiling, his backstory comes very late. I'll just his backstory comes very late. I'll just say that. And I felt like because it was
so late, I just didn't have any emotional capacity to care that much anymore [laughter] because all the other Hashi that I've gotten that development has came so late that I was just kind of like by then I
was like I can't do this anymore. I also he gets a like again how could I say this without just saying outright spoilers. I would say I don't like the way he treats Tanido. And you might be going, "Well, Hannah, isn't Sonomy one
of your favorites?" Yes. I can explain maybe at a later time, but that's the main reason is why he's there. It just sometimes when it comes to ranking my Hashida, I literally just do it in order of how much I remember them. And
sometimes when I'm ranking all of them, Obana like I just can't remember exists. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He just he's not my fave, but I still love him. So, oh, this one's fun. least favorite arc in Demon Slayer. So, we're going with the
like people are asking me for things I dislike so that I can rage bait people. I again will put the disclaimer that I love every single arc in Demon Slayer. Everything in Demon Slayer is at least an eight out of 10 or higher for me.
That's why I love it so much is that every single arc keeps me interested and I enjoy every single one. I would have to say my least favorite is Hashida training just because training arcs are usually my least favorite parts of
stories. They still do an incredible job at it. I just would have to say it falls to the bottom just because of it not being as interesting as the rest. I like there to be stakes and there are stakes during the Hashida training arc,
especially at the end, but I don't know. I just that's just who I am. Okay, this an anime out there that will replace Demon Slayer as your favorite anime? For example, One Piece. Um, I think there is. So, I've had hyperfixations
throughout my life. I have always been someone who when I love something, I love it. And it's my entire life. I've been like that for as long as I can remember. It goes all the way back to when I was like a little kid and I was
obsessed with Sleeping Beauty. It is part of the way my brain works. Once I like something, I can't stop thinking about it. But I do go through seasons. Demon Slayer without a doubt has been one of the longest ones as it is
currently at about four and a half years since it became a hyperfixation and I don't really see it going away anytime soon. But I would say it'll likely be a few years after the series ends via the anime. Of course, the series has been
over for a long time via the manga when, you know, I kind of have to move on. If I want to continue with my content creation, I would have to kind of find something else to talk about and I think I would eventually kind of move on to
the next thing. Now, as far as what I think the next thing would be, as of right now, I could very much see it being witch at I I'm caught up on the
manga. there is going to be a video about it soon. And I've already gotten to the point where sometimes I see sad edits on my Tik Tok page and start sobbing. So, it very much could be the next thing. But it kind of just depends
something else that pops up, if One Piece becomes a hyperfixation, it very well could. I'm like 250 episodes in and I've been really enjoying it. So, I
definitely think eventually, yes, something will take over as my favorite and as a hyperfixation. However, Demon Slayer has meant so much to me. More than just a, oh, I'm obsessed with this show. You know, it's brought me
friendships. It's inspired me to travel the world. It's inspired me to learn a new language. I don't know if it'll ever get knocked out of my top three because even 10 years from now when you know we're looking back on it as an anime
that has been over for a while. I think I will still have that love for it. Kind of like Attack on Titan is now. I'll just remember it fondly and it'll always remain up there. Okay. I I'll I'll answer this one because again it's
you can love and appreciate a character in Ken Y in Demon Slayer can be a lot influenced based on the way the story makes them interact and develop them around Tanido. My biggest interrogation is how Muicho can be that low in your
Hashida's ranking. Knowing Canal Tanido is the person that freed Muicho and made him overcome his heavy PTSD from his tragic awful story. And in bonus, we only ever see Muiro as a kid his age for the first time happy again when he sees
Tangido and play or I think this supposed to say origyami altogether. So yes, a lot of the characters that I love I love because of how they interact with Tanchido. I know I've said that multiple times, but as I said earlier with the
Hashida, it also comes down to just how big of an impression they leave on me. And unfortunately, Muicho does not leave as big of an impression on me. That's really it. I don't know why. I can't really put my finger on why he's my
like to remind everyone that like that's top 15 characters in Demon Slayer. So, it's not like I dislike him or I like have feelings of not love towards him. I
have nothing but love for Muichiro. There's just something about him. I like a lot of the other Hashida slightly better, and that's really the only way I can explain it. Do I have pets? Yes, I have a cat and a dog. My cat's name is
Nzuko. My dog's name is Mika, which is short for Mikasa, and I love them both dearly. They are my daughters. Was it hard to grow your easy? Okay, I like these kinds of questions. So, it's always been hard for
me. Um, I feel like ever since I started creating content, I have been scratching creating content, I have been scratching and clawing my way through [laughter] because I feel like when you see these people that have huge channels, you
either haven't been with them since the start or they do blow up very quickly. As someone who would love to be able to get invited to big events like Demon Slayer premieres and that sort of thing, I feel like I'm chasing kind of an
unknown number because I don't know what their threshold is for inviting creators. So, I do feel like I'm like chasing this like unknown trying to get chasing this like unknown trying to get somewhere where I might get noticed by
someone important and be able to go to these events. But, it's not easy. It's most of us have to go this route where it takes us years and years and years full-time. I've talked about this a lot. I don't make enough money for this to be
full-time. And my YouTube channel is actually having a really bad month with views and money and everything. So, that's great, but it's not easy. I still try to look back on the fact that I've really only been posting consistently
for about 2 years. And I do think the growth has been incredible. And sometimes I tend to focus too much on the evershifting guard post that I'm chasing rather than realizing how good things are going. But it's not the
easiest job. It's not the easiest thing to do because you tend to get too focused on that constant need to grow and that sort of thing. So I find it very difficult. But that's just me, I guess. And I'll add a caveat because you
asked multiple questions. Would you ever do a makeup tutorial? I don't know. I feel like I'm not that good at makeup. I've taken like probably a decade to get now, and they're still not what I would like. So, if y'all really want it, maybe
I'll do like one of those like get ready with me videos where I'll talk about something while I do my makeup if you're interested in that. But that's probably the best I could do. Can you make some My Hero Academia content? Um, maybe.
I've done one video and there's two things that are going through my head when I think about making my Hero Academia content. Number one is the interest of my audience. You know, because I do have a desire to continue
to grow and a desire to make this my full-time job. I do have to kind of follow the algorithm. I'm a bit of a slave to the algorithm. When something doesn't do well, I tend to rethink what it is. The My Hero Academia video that I
it is. The My Hero Academia video that I posted did fine. It was definitely one of the lower performing videos of the year. So that's like one of the reasons why it's not really at the top of my list right now. The other is I like it.
It's not in my top 10. So I don't have a ton of thoughts. And when it comes to like talking about animes, I really like to talk about the ones that I feel like I have genuine knowledge on, which is why I mostly talk about Demon Slayer
takes up most of my brain space. Even though there are lots of animes that I love and adore, Demon Slayer is just that hyperfixation. So, I have so many thoughts. It's like literally overflowing. I have probably at least 10
years worth of videos to make without even like pausing to make a video about a trailer or the next movie or anything like that. So, it's really difficult for me to sit down and make a video about something that I don't care that much
about because my brain just it doesn't think about it very much. I don't know how else to describe that. [laughter] By the way, check out the new phone case. Who introduced you to anime and Demon Slayer? My husband. my husband uh when
we met I had never seen anime and this is not because I was a hater. I feel like a lot of people when they find out that I started watching anime during co they immediately brand me as like well you you're just chasing the trend. You
just you probably were a bully to people who liked anime in you know high school cuz I'm 30 so I was growing up like during the time when Naruto and Dragon Ball and all of them were on like Cartoon Network and stuff. That's not
the case. So, I am a nerd and I have been a nerd my entire life. It just so happens that 2020 is when Avatar Last Airbender came to Netflix and I watched it for the first time and I realized I might actually enjoy some animated
anime and have never looked back. My husband had been trying to get me to watch anime pretty much since we had met in 2017. There was just so many things I hadn't seen because fun fact, I lived a very sheltered life growing up. I was
very sheltered life growing up. I was homeschooled and my parents were very was not allowed to watch Cartoon Network. I was not allowed to watch Nickelodeon. I was barely allowed to watch Disney Channel. So, it's not a
matter of, oh, I grew up knowing what anime was and just thought it was uncool and have changed my mind since then. It is a I literally didn't even really know it existed because my parents were not okay with me watching something like
that because that's the way I was raised. I had a very interesting That's that. My husband got me into it. I started in 2020. And when it comes to Demon Slayer, that was just like kind of a team decision. There was one day we
show to watch. I had heard of Demon Slayer. Some people had suggested me Avatar the Last Airbender content at the time and we just decided to watch it. The rest is history. What is an anime that you did not enjoy? There are very
few animes that I did not enjoy. I'm trying to decide if I go here. I'm trying to decide if I if I go for it and say the one anime. Okay, there is one anime I didn't really enjoy and unfortunately it was Vinland Saga. It
wasn't for me. I did not like any of the characters. The story was good. Like the writing is good. I just didn't like it. So that's the only one that I can really you dislike?" I don't even think I disliked it. I was just like not
impressed by it. That's all. Will you ever react to Demon Slayer dubbed? No. [laughter] Have you watched HighQ before? If so, who's your favorite and least favorite character? Okay. Yes, HighQ. I love it.
It's actually in my top 10. I think it's around number nine. It has gotten pushed down over time, but it is a very good anime and I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed it. My favorite character is Nishinoya. I love that little gremlin
so much. He's also voiced by Okamoto's son who is Genya and Bakugo amongst many others. And I love him. So, I'm a big fan of his voice acting. I thought like Hinata was gonna be my favorite character and he is very high up there.
But I ended up liking Nishinoya and Kagayyama better than him, but I still Nishinoya is just that's my son. My least favorite character. I don't really have one. I can't really think of any. I will say I didn't really
love Oawa and he's very popular in the fandom. So, I was like expecting him to be very lovable and I just kind of found him annoying. But I think there's more to come. I have not read the manga for HighQ. I have considered it because of
how long the rest of the story is taking to get animated. I've considered reading it, but I don't really have a a least favorite. I would just say I kind of had question marks over my head when I started to get to know Oawa because I
knew he was popular going into it and I was just kind of like, Anyway, what is a demon slayer fun fact that you can't stand? So, there are quite a few and and they put fun fact in quotations as in the fun facts that
people spread that are just completely wrong. I would probably say the Shobu told everyone of her plan but Gu because she knew Guu wouldn't let her do it. And I'm like the literally no. [laughter] At least when people were like, "Oh, son
was going to confess to Kana the day that she died." That's like, okay, that clearly was a head cannon that got turned into a fun fact somewhere along the way. Like, if you want to believe that, you can believe that. The problem
with the Shobu fact is that it is completely against canon and it is very clearly explained in the story that she only told Kana because of how the plan was going down and she was trying to save her, but it was also part of like
their development as sisters, part of Canao's development. So, it really just because it is very much explained in the story that Canau is the only person to know of her plan and makes it about a man and that just really pisses me off
honestly. So, I now that I'm like saying it, that's one I can't stand a lot of them, but that one has to be above all the others. Okay, there are so many questions. I'm trying to find the best one to do. I think this will be the last
one. I might do a part two. I'm not going to lie. but what made you want to start YouTube social media and do you have any tips about starting that helped way to end. I've talked a little bit about my social media journey and that
about my social media journey and that sort of thing. I have always loved the idea of being more in the creative space and talking about things that I love. My current job, it's not necessarily creative, but it is I do a lot of
talking and I do a lot of just like chatting with people and that is something that I love about my current job. But I always wanted to make that talking be about things that I genuinely cared about, not just whatever the job
cared about, not just whatever the job is that I'm doing. So, I think it was probably around 2020 when I feel like content creation, especially short form content creation, really became a thing. And I was home, I wasn't working that
much. I had things to say. I just kind of decided why not try. I did think that it would be easier to gain a following on Tik Tok and then have those people follow me to YouTube. I was like, "Oh, once I hit like 50k on TikTok, I bet
once I hit like 50k on TikTok, I bet I'll hit like 40k on YouTube." No. No. People don't follow you to every social media, even though I talk about it a videos. It's like, "Please follow me or join my membership, whatever." Not many
people do that, which is fine. But I think my goal was always to be on YouTube. I can't really say when I was like, "Oh my gosh, that's what I want to and I was like, "This would be a really fun job. I wish I could do this
full-time." So, that's kind of why I decided to start. That's why I wanted to do it. Any tips? I would personally say about things that you want to talk about. But if you do want to make it and
you want it to be bigger, you have to kind of pay attention to what the numbers are saying and do the things that are getting the most views because that's a great way to grow is to give the audience what they're looking for.
however you start, make sure it's something that you genuinely love goes viral, that's your niche. Congratulations. You know, like with my short form content, the first time I went viral,
think it even hit a million, but it was like my first like multiple hundred,000. I think it was like in the 700 to 800,000 range views, was an Avatar Last Airbender head cannon. And then that became my niche for a while until I was
tired of making Avatar content. And then a few months after that, I think I did like a filter video with Demon Slayer. It took off. it I think is at like 2
million views now and that's been my niche ever since. I have tried to break free of it. It's been rather difficult to do. I think I'm kind of getting there right now finally. But that video went viral in like 2021. So [laughter] that's
been my my very specific niche. So make sure that whatever content you're putting out there, just have fun with it. If you're not super worried about the growth, then just make content that makes you happy. And don't take comments
personally cuz that that's pretty tough. So, I hope that helps. I feel like I'm still so young, like in the YouTube world. I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing. I still feel like I am not really that big because I get a lot
of my subscribers from short form content. So, I I hope that someday I can gain a big following from long form. That's the goal, of course, but I'm not So, I feel like I'm still learning a lot, so I'm maybe not that good at
giving tips, but it was a good question nonetheless. So, that was all the time I had for today with your questions. There were a lot that I skipped over. So, again, if you got skipped over, just note that it was either like a repeat
question that I already answered. I'm planning on talking about that at some point in a video dedicated to that subject or I might get to it at a later didn't answer. I only have so much time to record. But, thank you so much for
watching today's video. This was a little bit again more candid. I feel like a lot of what I said was just like very offthe-wall. I mean, when you're answering questions that you you can't like presscript it unless you go through
and do that with the comments, which I did not. So, thanks for watching today's channel, and leave a comment your thoughts. If you want me to do a part two, let me know in the comments as well. But I will see you all next time.
well. But I will see you all next time. M
