KPop Demon Hunters

I never like Kpop, to be honest. I only hear some hit songs while shopping and I don't even know how many people are there in BTS or Black pink...

But! This film totally wins my heart!

I mean, come on! Demon Hunters + Pop stars! Who doesn't love this?

The story is super simple, simple and could be a bit cliché. But the music production is totally on top level.

Even for a person like who is so unfamiliar with Kpop could tell the tune.

Overall, the film is quite short, no fuss, really suitable for this type of action animations.

It doesn't spend looong time to explain all the details but that's the whole point! People are shouting out for sequels online now, unlike the recent Disney style which makes audiences beg for No More Useless Sequels!

I'd like to thank the production team brought back something we've been missing for a long time: MAKE YOUR POINT.

Sometimes that's what all a good film needs.

I'm not looking forward to any sequels because this one is classic!

KPop Demon Hunters (2025) is a new Netflix animated movie that I didn't know what to think of it when I first heard about it, but I decided to give it a chance and I had a great time with this movie.

Positives for KPop Demon Hunters (2025): First off, the idea for this movie is very interesting where it feels like a combination of Demon Slayer mixed with Sailor Moon and that is exactly what you get with this movie. The animation style for this movie is awesome and it gives the movie a unique feel to it. The voice cast does an excellent job with their performances and I really enjoyed the chemistry between the three main woman as they feel like real friends who like to kick major demon ass and sing together. I also liked the three male characters that our heroes are in competition with when it comes to their music and it creates this competition between the two teams that is fun to watch. The action sequences are dynamic and they have energy and excitement to them that I enjoyed watching. And finally, this is one of those movies that will definitely lend itself to becoming a popular franchise for Netflix with a couple of sequels.

Mixed for KPop Demon Hunters (2025): The music in this movie is quite good for the target audience, I am just not one of them. I don't hate KPop music, it's just that this genre of music isn't my thing and that is okay because it will definitely work for fans of KPop bands like BTS and others.

Negatives for KPop Demon Hunters (2023): The romance between the female and male leads of the two competing bands of this movie is your traditional cliched romance story and it was the weakest aspect of the movie that I disliked.

Overall, KPop Demon Hunters (2023) is damn good time for fans of both fantasy action movies and KPop music. I look forward to seeing if this movie does get a sequel or a franchise because there is a lot of things that can be explored in the future.

I walked into this expecting flashy visuals and a few catchy songs. I walked out emotionally wrecked, fully converted, and desperately trying to find the soundtrack.

This film is everything. The acting is next-level; every performance feels lived-in, even with all the genre craziness. These aren't just idols fighting demons, they're friends, sisters, legends in the making. I cared about every single one of them, which made every twist hit that much harder. The writing balances emotional depth with pop-culture fun. There are genuine character arcs, sharp humor, and moments of real heartbreak. It doesn't rely on tropes, it plays with them, elevates them. And the music. My god, the MUSIC. Not just earworms, these tracks are woven into the story. A power ballad becomes a battle cry. A training montage becomes a music video. A finale turns into a full-blown pop opera. It's genius.

Stylish, heartfelt, funny, fierce, and totally original. This isn't just a movie, it's a whole vibe. I'll be thinking about it (and rewatching it) for a long time.

I'm more of an animation fan than a kpoper, so KPop Demon Hunters was offering a fresh idea, but I was not prepared.

The colors are gorgeous. The constant pallette choice of cold colors are pleasing in the eyes and well-coordinated, it's breathtaking. Fluid movements during fights, Sony nailed it over and over.

Albeit story-wise is formulaic, the casts are wonderful and easily loveable. Jinu has the most generic looking facial feature for a character but his personality definitely sells his character, I love him. The trio is an icon, they are all different in their own ways and it's what made their interactions very enjoyable!

Last but not least, the tracks. Banger. It gave me chills, especially the last to close up the story. I'm not familiar with KPop songs, so this is all very new to me, but the tracks in this movie definitely hook me up, and I now see the appeal of KPop songs. Brb while I binge the tracks.

This was a fun ride. There's a lot of moments where I was laughing because of the references they put in it. The animation style reminds me a little of a fluid stop motion? It looks good especially paired with the action and all that bright coloring it was very nice and not too flashy in the eyes.

The highlight for me would be the music. All the music in this got my head banging too definitely saving it on my playlist. The lyrics have depth and it works well woven into the plot especially the bigger numbers. The voice actors and singer they hired for this fit nicely the only issue I had was sometimes it's too soft whenever they talk but too loud whenever they sing... there are moments also where in the animation expression didn't quite merge well with the voice acting. I also rewatched this in Filipino dub and was surprised to hear them also dub the music!! Listening to the songs in my native language felt good.

Overall it's a good wholesome movie that teaches you to accept yourself even if you're not perfect, get broken or make mistakes. A big plus as well for enemies to lovers trope. I'm always a sucker for it. It made me laugh but also made me cry. I wish so much for a sequel.
