The characters on Buffy all had big dreams and while everyone faced a lot of surprise and tragedy, everything worked out the way that it was supposed to by the series finale. Just like the characters are unique and stand out from the crowd on Buffy, so do the show's major settings. These places are where all the action and romance and friendship happens, and while they're all significant, some play a more key...

This article contains spoilers for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 1.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of the biggest anime series of the past few years and with a feature film and second season on the way that’s not likely to change anytime soon. The thrilling action anime series depicts the journey of Tanjiro Kamado, a budding Demon Slayer who’s recently become orphaned by monsters and had his sister transformed into one of their own kind.

There are no shortage of anime series where underdog protagonists with some variety of supernatural powers hunt deadly monsters, but the way in which Demon Slayer differentiates itself is through the powerful blades that the characters wield. These swords are often the last thing that demons will ever see, but there’s a lot more to understand about these weapons beyond the fact that they’re pretty darn sharp.

Vampires are immortal, unless a Slayer sticks a stake in them. But the actors who portray them are all-too-human, and thus, age in the way we all do.

That’s why Sarah Michelle Gellar says she believes she’s “long in the tooth” for any potential Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot.

Now 43-years-old, the actress made the comments while, appearing on the On with Mario Lopez podcast. While still remarkably young-looking, Gellar said the show requires a teenager in the role of The Slayer.

Gellar claimed she’s a “Wee bit, how do they say, long in the tooth for that.” The monsters Buffy faced “were a metaphor for the horrors of adolescence,” she explained. “I do think that story lends itself, it’d be interesting to see how a chosen one would deal with that. I don’t think it’s me, I don’t think I should be the one doing it.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of the most popular anime series to come out in the past few years and the title’s recent addition to Netflix’s anime library has allowed a brand new audience to experience the thrilling action.

Demon Slayer chronicles the journey of Tanjiro, a burgeoning Demon Slayer who sets out to bring down the powerful and deadly demon who is responsible for the death of his family and transforming his sister into a rabid creature. Tanjiro and his fellow Demon Slayers grow in considerable ways and learn incredible new abilities as they progress on their journey, which is far from over. Demon Slayer packs a lot into its 26-episode first season, but some serious revelations are made in the finale that will greatly impact what’s to come next for the demon slaying team.

Halloween may have traditionally been a night of quiescence for vampires and demons in Sunnydale, but anything could happen to the Slayer and the Scooby Gang. Halloween episodes on Buffy the Vampire Slayer were always notorious for spooky shenanigans, whether they involved the Scoobies getting possessed by their costumes, or just trying to find enough pocket space for their candy and their slaying weapons.

While the Scooby Gang never approached Halloween without a wary eye for supernatural mischief, their costumes ranged from incredibly elaborate, like Buffy's 18th century noblewoman ensemble, to as simple as Willow's sheet ghost. The gang proved that even keeping Sunnydale safe from the forces of darkness wasn't going to ruin their holiday spirit.

In a series like Agents Of Shield, in which the timeline isn't always strictly laid out and birthdays aren't celebrated on screen, it can be difficult to discern dates of birth and zodiac signs for characters.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer proved to be one of the most popular shows of the '90s, and its influence continues to be felt today. Despite being a Slayer, Buffy still needed help from her friends. Even Xander, who had the unique distinction of being the only member of the group to not possess a special or supernatural ability. However, Xander proved time and again to be a valuable member of the team.

Spike's love for Buffy fluctuated at times, especially when his sire Drusilla would descend on Sunnydale and toy with his affections. Buffy also wasn't the only slayer he showed interest in, despite his reputation as a dangerous enemy.

In the summer of 2018, it was announced that a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in the works, with original creator Joss Whedon attached as exec producer. Fans of the iconic late 90s/early 00s supernatural show were initially against the idea of redoing the series, but then new information seemed to point to be it being more of a continuation or sequel project rather than a reboot. Following this, stars of the old show started coming forward to say that they’d be up for a return.

Here we are a year and a half later though and the Buffy reboot has yet to materialize, but it is still in the works. And Anthony Head has made clear that he’d come back at the drop of a hat if asked. The British star memorably played Rupert Giles, high school librarian and secret Watcher, the guardian and father figure to Buffy Summers’ Slayer.

It’s taken years – more than a decade, really – but cult favorite Buffy The Vampire Slayer is finally on the verge of a second coming. And we couldn’t be more excited about it.

Series creator Joss Whedon is back behind the wheel, and while it won’t feature some of the original stars (namely Sarah Michelle Gellar), there is still hope that the likes of James Marsters (Spike) and Co. will reprise their respective roles. Fingers crossed.

Better yet is that today, the New York Post (h/t ComicBook.com) brings word of another: Anthony Head, best known for playing the Watcher and Buffy’s all-around father figure, Rupert Giles. Set to appear on Jason Sudeikis’s Apple+ series Ted Lasso, Head was quizzed about the upcoming reboot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer that has taken flight at Fox in recent months, at which point he revealed that, yes,...
