Kimetsu no Yaiba is an enjoyable anime but not much more than that. The animation is excellent but besides that it is filled with shallow characters and a shallow story.
Story:3
The story is about Tanjiro searching for the demon that killed his family. It's simple but too basic and lacks emotion. The series begins with a weak first episode. We barely know Tanjiro or his family so there is no connection between the viewer and Tanjiro's family. If there were a few episodes with Tanjiro spending time with his family there would be more of a connection between the viewer and the characters. The story
...
is also just Tanjiro and his friends meeting a demon, killing the demon, resting and repeat. There isn't any depth and it just feels empty.
Art, animation and sound 9:
The animation is the part of the series that makes it interesting but the animation is really the only reason to watch Demon Slayer. The animation is excellent and beautiful to look at and the sound feels realistic. The art is a bit basic but it works for the anime.
Character: 3
The characters are shallow and 1 dimensional. All of the main characters have no development besides their fighting abilities. The best characters are definitely Zenitsu and Inosuke because they are always entertaining to see. The worst character is Nezuko because she doesn't even talk. Nezuko serves no purpose and is a boring character. All Nezuko does is help Tanjiro slay demons and nothing else.
Enjoyment:9
Even though I may have sounded harsh in my review I still enjoyed watching Demon Slayer. The animation and sound is the main reason I enjoyed it so much. Even though Demon Slayer is flawed it is definitely entertaining.
Overall:5
Demon Slayer is mediocre but fun to watch I don't think it's a very good anime but I think it's an anime you should watch if you like good animation and sound.
