As any Hunter will tell you, the power-pop girl group Huntr/x dominates the animated-musical landscape as an unstoppable, ramen-munching, ass-kicking force. The trio tops music charts and packs stadiums across Korea with their signature brand of trap-infused Girl Crush EDM while also dispatching legions of shape-shifting monsters and saving the human world from the demon realm as the heroes of Netflix’s most-watched film ever, KPop Demon Hunters. Over Halloween weekend, however, as KPDHreturned to the multiplex for an astonishing second time since the summer, the juggernaut popularity of Huntr/x’s members — tough-cookie dancer-choreographer Mira, elfin rapper and throwing-knives specialist Zoey, and secretly half-demon main vocalist Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho with EJAEproviding her singing vocals) — proved no match for the countervailing box-office forces of trick-or-treating and back-to-back World Series games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.
