| Not rlly sure whether it's great or not. Sure, I'm leaning more towards it being "poor" than "great", however, there's certainly a decent amount of depth - in which, most of it is quite overlooked sadly. Like, it definitely tackles a few concept here and there well. Not to mention, it doesn't rlly have to be all unique, because it's not, and nor does it try to be. All-in-all, Demon slayer, is nothing great whatsoever, but it sure consists of a few "good", as well as redeeming qualities apart from animation. |
ateks said: 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. I mean, yeah, I think it is mostly for the fights that have good animation, which aren't even all of them, just a couple. I'm still fascinated by the animation of Tanjiro vs Rui in episode 19 or some others in the Entertainment Distrcit arc, but outside of that it is true that the Kimetsu doesn't have much good animation. I think the thing of "Kimetsu no Yaiba has one of the best animations" comes from the fact that it definitely has one of the best animation for generic nekketsu series, like what's its competition? MAPPA's series and their twirly CGI ugly looking backgrounds with the characters skating on them? Bones absolute lack of everything in Boku no Hero? I like the nekketsu animated by Toei and Pierrot like Naruto and Dragon Ball, but a few cuts aside they don't have any kind of good animation at all adn animation isn't even the reason I like them. Kimetsu is definitely one of the best animated nekketsu and since that is the genre most anime fans watch and for some it is the ONLY genre they watch then it gets to "it has the best animation ever". |
| I wouldn't call it good, like half of the series is sleep-inducing, not even other nekketsu series that are very long and slowly paced can make me as sleepy as Kimetsu, some moments are cool and all, but that's about it. I don't like the comedy and the character interactions are very bad, the animation sometimes have spikes that looks very good, but most of the time it isn't something special. It's from regular to bad most of the time. |
| The animations are in some capacity unique and a spectacle, but they aren't enough to carry this show. If you don't like the story, episode 19 won't make you like this show. |
| This just in! Shows with great production value and mass appeal are widely accepted... someone tell James Cameron...oh wait. On a serious note, why do people need to be more critical? It's entertainment, most don't care about where an anime ranks on a list or how well it's scored. Trust me this topic is worn out, people have made it for years about whatever show is getting praised and a lot of attention. |
| I actually don't like Kimetsu no Yaiba for it's visuals. The characters all look like chibi versions of themselves after all. For me it's the setting, the anime takes place in, the Taisho era and I really like that period. Nezuko is the best little sister, she's cute, funny and can manipulate her body to seem like a toddler or a knockout beauty. |
| Yeah. I think is good at boring me to death. |

TheFireNinja said: It's ultimately up to whoever watches it to decide for themselves whether or not it's valuable. For me personally, I'm not trying to gain attention as a critic in this community. I watch anime purely for enjoyment. Unless critical analysis of writing is relevant to whatever major I'm going for in school or any job that I plan on pursuing, I don't care for it much outside of those two things. And even then, I find that most so-called "critics" in this community aren't really original in their takes for anime. Many parrot other people's likes and dislikes for certain aspects of anime of particular genres. It's basically just one big echo chamber that just feeds people's sense of validity in their opinions even if other people disagree. And their "objective" analyses usually just amount to personal biases they have for shows that entertain them. +++++ Bro Well said. That's why I always find hysterical massive same opinions about "masterpieces" that really aren't, and huge hate about something which is in fact good. |

| It's enjoyable. Good for what it aims to do. |
 |
| So the poll show us the truth eh? Interesting. Well, I think some people already said it but Demon Slayer has no plot, no actual development, zero character depth, it has nothing basically, it's mostly a showcase where you have the main characters and the Hashiras (a different one for each arc) fighting the Demons in flashy and over the top animation, and this will probably repeat until we reach Muzan. Not to mention the build up of each arc is always a bit boring. But overall the climax of each arc kinda pays off, so I'd say it's a decent anime, let's say Demon Slayer is around a 3~4/10. |

| Well just look at how Black Clover was treated on MAL when it started airing vs when it finished airing. I started BC when it was a 6.71 on MAL and now it's at 8.14. The only major difference is that the animation improved dramatically over time. Now personally I thought Black Clover was good right from the start, but it's undeniable that the peak Pierrot animation took it to its next level. It could not have become that great without it. Really it comes to this - ufotable could have picked up any other standard battle shounen series and produced a near identical result. I'm sure Demon Slayer could still be solid with another studio, but nothing outside of its production quality deserves critical acclaim. |

| It's better than stuff like Blame surprisingly enough. |
|
| I guess it's a'ight. One of those stories that'd keep you entertained for the moment and then forget later on when you read a new one. |
| Yeah, it's really good. Really good in helping me fall asleep faster. |
