That’s awesome, well done! Any idea if it’s worth it to take the passwords you’ve earned over to Oracle of Seasons in order to unlock the alternate plot points, expanded story and extended ending? I always liked the idea of the two games interacting to create a third unique experience, but never knew anyone who actually used the interactive features.

The person reacting to your comment calling them a pigeon:

Great suggestions here already, I’ll throw a few more on top:

• Omori (similar and often compared to Earthbound but the silly fun stuff gets darker and more serious as the story goes on)
• Super Mario RPG (another Squaresoft JRPG from the era of Chrono Trigger and FFVI, very fun and satisfying turn-based combat mechanics, quirky to the max, Squaresoft really had a blast creating a Mario style world. The remaster just released for the Switch, but if you don’t have one then you can easily get a digital port of the original SNES version)

@[email protected] has the go-to suggestion: you can’t go wrong with giving Avatar: The Last Airbender a shot. I don’t know if I’d say it has similar themes or notes to Demon Slayer but it is an absolute winner.

I also highly recommend the movie Spirited Away if you haven’t watched it together yet. It’s got some similar themes and notes more suitable for the whole family. Instead of stopping demons with violence, Spirited Away finds diplomatic ways to deal with spirits. Also just a masterpiece of a movie.

I’m having trouble thinking of similar anime series for a younger audience but there are some other anime-inspired (like Avatar: TLA) cartoons that deal in similar themes. Steven Universe follows a group of heroes that stop corrupted gem creatures in hopes of curing them. And Star Vs. The Forces of Evil is about a Sailor Moon-like princess from a magic realm that travels to Earth and fights the forces of evil with her best friend trained in karate.

Biblically accurate mermaid.
