The diversity of Blood Lad

The kind of diversity that anime usually focuses on are the differences between the natural and
the supernatural. What I find interesting about this diversity is that it isn't always so diverse,
meaning there are things between the natural and supernatural that can be shared. For example,
appearance. Sometimes, demons can look human. Not only can demons look human sometimes, but
they can also act like it sometimes. The anime Blood Lad provides examples of this (the video I use
for this reflection is the only review video of the entire anime I could find - there is a second season
being planned for 2020 - 2021).
In the anime Blood Lad, the action starts due to an interaction between a human and a demon.
The human accidentally gets into demon world, specifically the territory of a certain demon who
happens to look, and act, like a human. This human and demon both go to the human world in order
to solve their problems. However, this involves them interacting with others, both supernatural and
natural, including supernatural and natural worlds while happening in an entertaining way. For
example, there are references to anime, and manga, throughout this anime (the video I use for this
reflection starts with probably the most popular one - it's actually how I found out about this anime:
it doesn't get too out of hand, like other anime).
The natural, or human, and supernatural, or demon, worlds don't need to be separate, and really
shouldn't be (at least not in theory), for the sake of diversity. Even when demon world itself is
depicted in anime, it's usually divided (or at least starts out that way). Humans and demons can be
the same. The reasons for that are usually different, like ideologies usually. Whatever the
differences, and reasons for them, these need to be discussed. This includes everything, not just the
diversity of Blood Lad.
