| I think it's still good in some other aspects, like a few characters' design and music. |

| It gets the job done. It's not great, but there are anime out there that are much worse. |
 |
the story is pretty standard and formulaic and predictable but at least the animation and the boobs are nice.   |
| It’s a definite 10 out of 10! Not only does it have the best animation I’ve ever seen (Violet Evergarden is the only one that comes even close!), it’s also the best shounen of all time imo! :) |
| Story is decent for battle shounen standard and can stand by itself. Straightforward, not complicated and easy to followz which is s good thing. |
 |
| Not really. It's a pretty bad anime imo....... |

Thank you very much for your opinion. |

| It's good, but I think some parts can make me lose interest. I kinda zoned out in the first season once Tanjiro goes to the Demon Slayer HQ. Season 2 is good, but I thought the Entertaiment District fight went on a little too long. |
| It's good enough for it to get carried by the Animation. If it's shit then I doubt it'll be good even if it got the greatest animation in the history of humanity. But I can't remember most of the shit that happened outside of crazy fight. |
| It’s not even good with animation… sparkly and flashy Ufotable animation is boring to me and adds nothing to the already shitty and cringy plot |
 |
| It's an anime about slaying satan's minions. 10/10 Jesus approved. Amen. |

I find shonen enjoyable. you stole my words, i dont get why every show has to be the next Aot or next FMAB it is generic, basic but ENTERTAINING!!!!! and thats what matters ... its like saying is marvel good w/o the visual effects and cgi ? umm no it is not but it is still enjoyable !!!! |
 ✮ slumbering arc |
| I say yes, it's a solid shounen. Nothing spectacular that would change the way the whole genre is perceived by the majority of audience, but still a very enjoyable shounen anime. Where it shines the most are traditional Japanese elements and symbolism. Kimetsu no Yaiba is filled to the brim with them. Also, the setting (Taisho era) is really nice as well. Sadly, the former of things I mentione is often missed by many Westerners, due to their lack of knowledge about said elements. Heck, I even learn from time to time about certain details having their roots in Japanese tradition, or certain meaning that's obvious for people who are really into Japanese culture. And we are talking only about the arcs animated so far, with several arcs still yet to be adapted. |
| No, not even the animation is good. Why do people keep jerking off to that? It looks like shit and cheap. Literally Onimai has better animation. |
| the character designs i'd say but aside from that, nah it's pretty average. not trash, just average. |
 |
| The Demon Slayer is easily one of the worst battle shounen ever made, It's so badly written that I think it was written by an AI because it tries to be emotional and fails miserably. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Not really, no. Non-existent story so far and fairly bland characters. |
| I said no not really, but the music and directing is also solid. let's just say it would below average if not for the "production" in general |

| Not particularly.. A common complaint is that the male characters are often boorish, loud and annoying.. While the female characters tend to be portrayed as meek, servile lust objects.. There were signs in the first season.. But these characterizations have since become much more prominent.. |
| The op is feeling what I've been preaching mal users since I became a member.. But look out some admins get butthurt when you talk negatively about demon slayer..? |
 |
I rather lick Maki's dirt boots than kiss the lips of any female character from demon slayer... But I'm femdom guy so played a role in this declaration.. |
| |
| I would say their start was good when it was about Tanjiro trying everything to get Nezuko back but then when the story line about going in a journey with a hashira and fighting a strong demon kept happening, thats where the plot didnt stand out like and it got repetitive fast. I dont expect much now, I hope i'm proved wrong though |

| Yes we get it Demon Slayer is popular and is carried by animation. What's frustrating is that people are still complaining about how well recieved Demon Slayer is. Demon Slayer is definitely better than other shonen but it's not the best. To put it simply Demon Slayer does its job of being a good action shonen. I came for the fights and leave satisfied each time. |
| nah not really, I think it's pretty mid beyond the animation, that's my opinion atleast it's still a fine watch I guess |
I really love her boooooooooooobs. |
| She looks like she could use some lotion, she is literally cracking apart my guy. |
| kny is complete garbage but the best material to keep the normies entertained for a long run, with the treatment it's getting personally, I'd vomit all over the place if I watched the show, so I just go to sakugabooru and enjoy the best cuts |
| I've only watched around 10 or so episodes, and it's solid. The story's really nothing to write home about but it has a decently compelling setting. The animation really is the highlight though. |
Take care of yourself |
| Even my shounen obsessed buddy who binged it in a few days told me it was boring. I only watched the first season eons ago and gave it a 5/10. The first episode hook pissed me off, the characters are cardboard, I don't care about any of the character relationships ESPECIALLY Tanjirou and Nezuko's, the urgency of everything really fucks the pacing. I'm sure this can be lobbied at other shounen for sure but with it being so well polished by ufotable I feel like the story just falls beneth the cracks. |

| demon slayer is a misogynistic turd u can try and polish it with sakuga but its still a turd |
| Good but not original, I would say. But as Demon Slayer is good and well animated, it's a good doorway to nekketsu. |
| Demon slayer is crap, a disgrace to story telling.. it's a abomination of fancy light show and computer generated graphics.. The most horrible part is the writing and the characters have the worst personalities and backgrounds in history of anime.. I know for a fact that demon slayer is also plagiarized |
| |
| Even the animation isn't that special, it's mostly just flashing lights in front of a CG background very lacking in detail. |
| Cucumber ice cream is the best! |
| Well Demon Slayer is the greatest anime ever made after all... |
 |
| It's popularity is just because of it's animation and anyone thinking otherwise is just on copium, like I get of highest selling manga bs as that's also because of its anime. Ufotable is behind it as they made a B-tier manga into such a phenomena that it raked in billions of dollar and became a mainstream anime. It's gonna be this popular till it ends and after that it will be forgotten as its high burning dopamine food and won't leave any after thoughts as now every other show is trying to be best in animation so kny being special in that one department doesn't or won't hold any light in near future. But I won't deny its success. |
| 2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| It's whatever. The animation, music and aesthetics might help but it works for what it's trying to do, an entertaining Shounen for teenagers/young adults |
  MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |
| If we remove the work's production and soundtrack criteria and judge it only by script and characters, I believe it would be neither good nor bad. It is an example of an orthodox Battle Shonen route, which inherits a large amount of characteristics from classics like Naruto, but which, I must say, I believe it does more competently than some other Battle Shonens of today. Every work of this type has almost the same problems for me, and Kimetsu no Yaiba is no exception. However, at the same time, I believe that there is a superiority of it in relation to other examples like Jujutsu Kaisen, Boku no Hero Academia, etc. For example, while I think the comedy in both shows is awful and should be removed completely, I believe JJK has even worse handling of humor. Although KnY is not the pinnacle of substance, I also value more the backstories that are applied to it, unlike JJK which employs several and several moments in which it is a "show by show" and bets all its chips on being mere dynamic action. Tanjirou and Midoriya are BS protagonists who follow a very similar archetype, however I see much greater depth and development in Tanjirou due to the way Gotouge writes his monologues into the story and the immersion these provide. So while I don't think KnY is any good, I also think it's not bad by Battle Shonen standards. |
