Question about demon slayer **Spoilers for swordsmith village arc**

Okay so this thing here


is straight up a robot. There ain’t no denying it. Not only that but its capable of fighting in ways no real animatronic can really achieve as of right now.

So my question is, does this robot make demon slayer technically a sci-fi-fantasy?

Its a doll

Dawg it can move its own using mechanical parts, it being considered a doll as well does not mean its not a robot. Like it follows the definition of a robot pretty much to a T

Its an anime about some mfs fighting nearly unkillable enemies using godly type shi techniques.
Why are you surprised if a puppet can act like its alive

I’m not, I don’t where you got the idea that I was “surprised”. I’m just asking a funny little question if demon slayer technically counts as sci-fi-fantasy because of the very clear robot right there. Its literally called a mechanical doll, which is a robot, in the manga too. It ain’t just a puppet that just somehow acts like its alive.

i think theres not enough sci fi elements to be classifiable as such

That’s fair. If you really wanted to stretch it the drug that made Muzan a demon could be considered sci-fi, but it could just as easily, if not way more easily be considered a magic potion type of deal so I wouldn’t count that.

minecraft is 1900s because it has vinyl records

I don’t really get what you’re trying to say here. Something in a universe being from a more advanced time or straight up science fiction doesn’t mean that the rest of the world’s technology must be on the same level or it has to be set in the year that thing was created or existed in.

guys ancient greece was actually sci fi fantasy???

vetex should add this to ao

Well unlike the fictional robot above this one is actually within our capability to make.

That said, some ancient robots based on that one you linked would be pretty cool to see in AO

yeah an ancient automaton in the dark sea that, when interacted with, will judge you, if you are deemed worthy it shows a pile of treasure possibly including unique reagents, and if you are deemed unworthy it releases ravenous atlantean dogs that attack you

you are NOT letting demon slayer win sci fi for the anime awards buddy I know what you’re trying to do

Looks lowkey chill af i’d love to hang out with this dude
