Story: 6

Character: 4
Enjoyment:3
Overall:5

I'm going to try keep this short so I'll just summarise why I gave this the scores that I did.

Story: The story is pretty average, it's just a romance between some otakus without any overdramatic crap that they have in most romance anime, also it's set in an office which isn't that common. but to sum it up,
the main characters got together within 1 or 2 episodes, and by the end the relationship felt liked it hadn't progressed (also it's got the generic "childhood friend" cliche).
...
Art: Although it isn't something I'd personally like, it was actually pretty nice for the most part.

Character: The characters kind of bothered me, they were pretty close to their 30's or something and yet they acted like ten year olds, which was already kind of annoying but the moments where they were actually acting their age just felt kind of awkward and forced.

Enjoyment: I am not a fan of slice of life comedies, they always come off as bland and by the end it feels like the story has gotten nowhere, which was exactly the case with this show, but I don't tend to like slice of life in general (apart from a few exceptions).

Overall I'd give it a 5, it isn't the worst but it's probably not something that I'd want to watch again, if you're into slice of life romcom's then I'd recommend this, but if you're like me then don't do this yourself ;-;, anyway that's all I had to say feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong.

I'm not sure how to start this but I'll just give my scores, summarise the first episode then explain why I gave the scores that I did.

You can skip the next three paragraphs if you don't want to read the summary.
I'll start off by talking about the story, I won't go into too much detail since I like to keep my reviews short also sorry if anything is a little off, I started Demon Slayer a while ago and only finished it recently.
Basically the first episode starts off with Tanjiro trekking through a forest carrying his younger sister, ... Nezuko, it then flashes back to before where Tanjiro is about to leave his family and to go to the town, there's some useless dialect between him and his siblings (and his mother I think) he then leaves to town as his family waves him goodbye (he then just has a useless conversation with Nezuko it's not that important), forgot to mention earlier but Tanjiro has a really keen sense of smell.

I think he goes to town to sell charcoal or something, anyway skip a few hours and he's walking home but he's stopped by a man telling him that the mountain is too dangerous to go up at night, he goes inside to eat dinner and sleep at the strangers house (I refer to him as "the stranger" because I can't remember his name)they talk about demons and demon slayers or something I don't really know. The next morning he leaves the mans house to hike up the mountain back to his own house, as I mentioned before he has a strong sense of smell and can smell blood so he immediately starts to run, he makes it back to his home to see that his family has been slaughtered by demons the only survivor being Nezuko, then we're back to where we started, Tanjiro trekking up the mountain carrying his younger sister, we then find out that Nezuko has been turned into a demon.

Him and his sister fall off a mountain or something and are saved by the snow and Nezuko tries kill Tanjiro because why not? Tanjiro shouts some random crap and then Nezuko starts crying and then some guy just comes out of nowhere and tries to kill Nezuko I think, but ends up slicing off Tanjiro's ponytail. That one guy that came out of nowhere grabs Nezuko and is about to decapitate her and Tanjiro begs him not to (I'm getting really lazy now, sorry about this I've been writing for a while) Nezuko doesn't get decapitated, Tanjiro gets knocked out by something, Nezuko defends Tanjiro and then gets hit in the face. Tanjiro wakes up and sees Nezuko lying next to him with a nuzzle in her mouth. He is told to to go up a mountain and find some old man, they dig graves for their family and then go to find previously mentioned old man and then the episode ends.

Anyway that was my lazy summary of the first episode so now I'll just talk about why I scored this show with what I did.

The story: The story is mediocre, it's not bad but it's nothing special either, the concept of slaying demons in anime has already been done, but a show doesn't really have to be original just to be good, it just needs to be well done, but for me it didn't really hit that mark. The writing for the show is average at most, however I am able to see why other people can enjoy it.

Art: Although the artstyle isn't something I'd like personally (which put me off slightly) it is a nice artstyle, it just looks a little rough compared to what I would usually like, I might have actually scored the show lower than I did if it weren't for the animation/ art.

Characters: The characters for me were just bland and annoying which kind of put me off, they are fairly cliche, Tanjiro for example is just your average, kind and caring shounen protagonist, it's not that I want the main character of a show to be a d*** but these types of characters are just too nice so much to the point where it annoys me.

Nezuko doesn't even seem to have a purpose except sitting in a basket and looking cute, the entire show it feels like she's incapable of doing anything herself except relying on Tanjiro, not much else to it, I just dislike characters that don't do anything for themselves.

Zenitsu is just the average pervert that they threw in because why not? Inosuke is just the character that tries to pick fights for no reason, he's an ok character but not the type I like, they kind of remind of Bakugo and Mineta from mha

Enjoyment: I honestly found myself procrastinating when it came to watching an episode of this, it was just really boring for me, I started Demon Slayer last year and wasn't enjoying it so I asked some people if it starts to pick up and they said to give it 10 episodes, yeah I ended up dropping it, I have finished it now but I was pretty bored and disappointed by the end, not much else to it I just didn't enjoy this show :/

Overall I give it a 3, it's probably one of the most overhyped shows I've watched, it's basically just every shounen trope imaginable, not really much else too say I just didn't enjoy this show, but yeah that concludes what I had to say about Demon Slayer, sorry if I sounded unsure of myself with this review but I don't really remember much so I was kind of nervous about getting something wrong.

I haven't wrote any reviews before so I don't know what I'm doing but I'm going to try cut this short. I don't think anything in here counts as spoilers.

The story is pretty bad and extremely repetitive, usually what happens is they take up a quest or something, they all try to defeat the villain and fail miserably, Natsu tries to defeat the villain but can't, he'll have some flashbacks and then everything is solved with "tHe pOwEr oF FrIeNdShiP!" then they go back to the guild and everyone's happy again.

Art is ok I guess, but a few of ... the characters have the exact same face which is something I noticed after a while.

I don't think there is anything positive I can say about the characters, they are bland, cliche and overall just annoying, from what I've seen there is little to no character development, they have no depth to them.

I personally didn't enjoy this to say the least, I guess I did at first but I ended up dropping it after a while out of boredom and the annoying characters, I have it on hold and I'll try finishing it at some point.

I'll give it a four overall, the only thing I could praise them on is just a few of the openings, anyway I'm not sure how to end this so I'll shut up now.
