PopCon #117: ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Isn’t Anime

Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” — the animated, song-driven film mashing together K-pop, demon lore, and coming-of-age themes — is taking pop culture by storm.

We review K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix— the wildly popular animated, song-driven hit mashing K-pop, demon lore, and coming-of-age themes. Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew dig into: is it anime or not, how the music works inside the story, Korean cultural notes (shame/honor, shamanism touchpoints), the Demon King trope, and whether the ending really lands.
