I don't get it, how the government and all the people don't know anything about the demons? It's not like that they are ghosts or something. EVERYONE can see them, the are walking around freely and kill humans. The demon slayers and the demons have supernatural abilities. How are they not recognized by the government and how do they not know about their existence? Tons of humans must have encountered demons in the past hundred years.


You need to remember that this is in some way transition period. Transition between traditional beliefs and modern age some people still believes with omens and yokais and others only in science. and for Muzan it's in best interest to be as low key as possible so they will keep killings far from cities and only for villages in which people wouldn't even try to call for government intervention.
and maybe one of the Upper Moons is some government official?

I mean I watched OG Robocop when I was about 10. ;)

Well, obviously kids will watch what they aren't supposed to anyway, I did it too :D

But it's still not made for them


Shonen's officially aimed at "boys", so yes it is. It's anywhere from older children to older teens, which I'd say 7 year olds are right on the cusp of. This series is definitely aimed at 10-13 year olds at the very least. Do you not remember what the violence in Naruto was like? They marketed that to kids of a similar age, even in the west.

Really great adaptation. A definite 9 for me.

BTW that was the most beautifully rendered bloodbath I've ever seen. Weird to say the blood was beautiful when those demons were slaughtered.

I wasn't talking about shounen anime in general
I know they are made for younger audience

I was talking about KnY, that even though it's a shounen, it's not really meant for the really young kids, such as 7-10 years old ones

Shonen literally mean 12+ boys to 18 and Jump tend to have stuff aimed at adult like Kimetsu or CSM those two are noway targeting young kids

Tanjiro, I know you mean well, but I, for one, do not want to see a harem, just get it over with and go for second tier Shinobi, 'cause Shinobu, sadly, will not be written in like that... anyway. Film adaptation greenlit, and a second season is most definitely a forecast. Gonna miss this.

If this didn't have the animation it did, I wouldn't have enjoyed it.

Couldn't decide between 5 or 6, so I gave it a 6 just for entertainment value.

Demon Slayer gone, My Hero Academia here... The lesser of the budgets is here to fill the same role.

Nah, it won't take 2years,
It will most likely come out in Summer 2020(IMO) in Japan, then early 2021 in other countries

So overall 1.5 years until we can watch it

The first half of this episode had some god tier animation and Muzan looked so menacing damn!
Loved this episode thoroughly especially the main trio goofing around. I'll miss this anime so much!! Also near the end when they showed the demon and rengoku I was like give me moreeee hahahaha. Thankfully we're getting a direct sequel movie. Iam beyond hyped!
This anime was an easy 10/10 for me.

Great show! Amazing animation, unique art style, cool fights, fun characters; this show nearly had it all. It will probably end up being the best new anime of the year for me. Really looking forward to the movie.

Great show, it dropped a little during the middle but these last 5-6 episodes have been amazing. The animation was flawless almost every sequence and they did justice to every fight. Beautiful soundtrack too.

Also the next arc being a movie means the animation will be literally flawless and we're about to get some of the GOAT fight scenes in history.

wow what a player, Tanjirou, flirting with so many girls. I can see him becoming the 'Love' Pillar late on when he's strong enough lolol

Muzan... why you so beautiful? (whisper: best girl Muzan?)

animation in the first half is absolutely stunning. it's even better than the drum demon battle scenes. (reminds me a bit of Hogwart tbh) also, Muzan is seriously a terrible boss/leader. Everyone knows the more followers/underlings you have, the better. So what if they're not as strong as you expected? They can still do something. No need to kill them all.

Next season/movie is gonna be full of angst and painful to watch. They really cut off at a good note.

Kanao is best girl. That reaction is sooo cute ~

And so it ends, and new movie announcement. With this it could go Legend of Galactic Heroes remake direction, where future episodes would be movies. Or it could go season 2 after movies

Kimetsu no Yaiba didn't have most shounen cliches except for sudden power ups. The characters are very likeable and didn't goes most cliches like Owari no Seraph which has the same theme but more typical cliches. Tanjirou are very relatable protagonist, even more so than Deku. Zenitsu and Inosuke are quite unique but didn't force the uniqueness too much, well maybe for zenitsu. The storyline are very simple but smooth and done in a very great execution. The greatest thing of this series is probably how the author done the dark but optimistic atmosphere of the series, both in manga and anime.

I want to score it 8/10 or 9 but this series is a very cool breeze in the anime world where its plagued by Isekai and fantasy series (I like the genre but lets faced it, the genre makes the japanese pop culture world gone downhill in quality). So 10/10

Such an amazing ride though, I'm glad I got to watch Kimetsu no Yaiba this year (could enter the AOTY without a doubt). A great evolution of our boy Tanjiro, I remember how he used to be 26 weeks ago.

Great finale to a fantastic show.

Really happy that a movie's been greenlit for the next arc. I don't read the manga so I don't know if movie length is good enough to animate the arc but I'm keeping expectations high.

Easily one of the best shounen's of recent times in WSJ with a lot of heart. A shounen really needs nothing else.

I'm happy Ufotable gave this series the love it deserves and I hope they continue to do so in a manner similar to what Bones have done for BnHA. Huge props to them. Tons of memorable moments. I'll add more to this post once I get the time to sit down and collect my thoughts better but for now.

9/10, Potential 10/10 in the future.

Just, oh wow! I've read the manga, so I knew what was coming, but it sure looked gorgeous. At first I thought they wanted to make Mugen Ressha-hen as the finale, but a movie?! Fuck yeah! I'm on board! Joke intended, given how that arc is... about a train!
But oh well, that means my expectations are through the roof, given how awesome the animation was for a weekly show. If they go even above and bejond that... just, oof... This gonna be good.

I am really enjoying this show, its overall very entertaining, the fights, the story, the animation is all terrific. I will say though that the two supporting cast can be very annoying and is keeping the score down for me. I don't find them funny at all, just very over the top. Hope their personalities mellow out if this gets a second season. I also hope Nezuko gets her chance to shine, she gone one scene where she showed off her own blood art, hope more of that is to come, I want her to be useful to her brother and not simply be a little fragile doll to be protected the whole time.

8/10, I await more.

While first half was brutal, the second half was more heartwarming.
The lower moons got massacred. Kibutsuji Muzan is no joke...

I’ve enjoyed every single moment this anime gave us. Although it had its pacing issues, it was one of the most memorable shows in a very looong time.

10/10

The best anime this year in my opinion I have not become obsess with something for so long now.

I'm going to miss the Opening though I will always listen to it still and I'm exited to see the Season 2 Opening will the Movie have it's own opening? they should play the opening 1 in the Movie I would get hype.

I think what I like about this show most is that it can relatively dark and moody, then super hype, then funny and cute all somehow without being jarring. This episode was just the same, super bloody, then some hype, then cute goodbyes.

Simply, a 9/10.
I won't lie, I thought we were at ep 12 and expecting a second cour in October.
My brain big tricked me because I was certainly enjoying that much.

The animation, well, that speaks for itself, and weirdly enough, I'm enjoying ALL the characters. The only slight gripe I have is with how they dealt with plot progression, but I can imagine that'll solve itself now that Tanjiro and co are getting deeper in the Slayer corps. Also, as some said, I would have welcomed a little more Nezuko (again, probably fixed later on).

Anyway, it was good to see the villain being a villain and a surprising continuation in the form of a movie. While I enjoyed that Kano and Tanjiro scene, I still think Aoi is best Butterfly girl.
"You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru)

Just to list a couple of biases.
Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice.
Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing.

Which harem? This is not that type of series. The author is a woman so the MC won't have a harem. Even in the manga, only Kanao shows romantic interest for Tanjiro. Admiration =/= love.
