I wouldn’t be too interested in this show if it was just a bunch of people from the past doing battles against demons. What can I say? A part of me simply can’t immerse myself in a story if I have to also imagine living in the olden days before the existence of modern conveniences. You might think I’m referring to stuff like smartphones and the internet — and sure, living without them would suck — but I’m talking more like refrigeration and a proper ass plumbing system. That’s why the thought of being isekai’d into a fantasy universe has no appeal to me. Yeah, yeah, I now get to cast magic… but I also gotta take a dump in an outhouse. Thanks but no thanks. Plus, could you imagine eating nothing but salt-cured foods all the time? But that’s what you gotta do before the advent of refrigeration. People also wouldn’t know about germs and bacteria, so they’d stick their grubby, lil’ mitts on everything. Ugh. No thanks. Keep the past away from me.
