Kimetsu no Yaiba

Ever since the death of his father, the burden of supporting the family has fallen upon Tanjirou Kamado's shoulders. Though living impoverished on a remote mountain, the Kamado family are able to enjoy a relatively peaceful and happy life. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to make a little money selling charcoal. On his way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take shelter in the house of a strange man, who warns him of the existence of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the woods at night.

When he finally arrives back home the next day, he is met with a horrifying sight—his whole family has been slaughtered. Worse still, the sole survivor is his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a bloodthirsty demon. Consumed by rage and hatred, Tanjirou swears to avenge his family and stay by his only remaining sibling. Alongside the mysterious group calling themselves the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjirou will do whatever it takes to slay the demons and protect the remnants of his beloved sister's humanity.

I started watching Anime after a long time and Kimetsu no Yaiba was the first one of this new chapter. New chapter because I realized I now like an entirely different genre.
I loved everything about this Anime: the animation, the storyline, the voice actors, the ost, just everything. It made me feel intense emotions and I am really looking forward to the last season.
The only thing I didn't like about it is the sexualization of the women (that's why I am giving it a 9), but I remembered that every shounen Anime unfortunately sexualizes women, and even if this is something that I don't ... like I really enjoyed all the aired seasons.

Mixed Feelings

Let me start by saying I am not a big fan of Shounen Action Anime to begin with. I don’t have much interest in seeing those long running 100+ episodes shows so back when there was only one season I gave this a shot. I get it, I get why people like it, but in my opinion it’s just painfully repetitive and uninteresting. Ufotable does an incredible job I will never deny that, but as far as the story goes I was far from engaged.

The characters are probably one of the weakest aspects, Tanjiro is cool and all but the other two are just obnoxious. ... The demons are somewhat interesting but they all have the same sob story flashbacks attached to them to try and force me to care about someone who is only on screen for five minutes.

“It gets better in the newer seasons”
Maybe, but if an anime couldn’t hook me in a 26 episode season than I’m inclined to believe it’s just not gonna be the type of good that I want. Also Nezuko is 12 stop being creeps everyone.

I can't believe such spectacular coloring and animation is wasted on such a terrible story. Demon Slayer looks absolutely stunning. The animators paid close attention to the colors and the lighting. I saw my roommate watching this and that was enough to convince me to give it a shot.

The problem is that the show doesn't deserve this. Sure... It has good start. The premise of the protagonist carrying his demonic, flesh eating sister around while trying to find a cure is great. But the rest is just terrible. The story just keeps picking up shallow and boring characters without ever reaching that moment where it ... all comes together. It's just a very long, monotone, continuously mediocre plot.

I really wanted to like Demon Slayer. But with all the tropes, the boring characters and the drawn out story that never picks up, it's hard. I give it a 5 because I at least appreciate the animation. But it only makes me wish that a story with a better show got this level of animation instead of Demon Slayer.
