Happy Birthday

ofc best anime I've seen in recent times, I'll put my review bellow
Ever since the passing of his father, Tanjiro Kamado has taken many responsibilities to shoulder his family. While the Kamado family lives impoverished, they are happy together living a peaceful life in the mountains. On his way back home after selling charcoal to the local village, he settles down for the night in a strangers home. The stranger warns him about the existence of dark flesh-eating creatures of the night, demons. Tanjiro arrives back home after sunrise, discovering his family to have been slaughtered. That's not all, his sister Nezuko managed to survive the slaughter, but is now a demon herself. Unable to put Nezuko down, Tanjiro tried to get through to her, reminding her of who she was, and who he is. Astonishingly, he was able to get through to her, stopping her from killing her brother. Tanjiro now swears to have his vengeance against those who have slaughtered his family, and vows to stay by Nezuko. His journey begins with the discovery of a mysterious group, the Demon Slayer Corps.

Shounen anime in recent years have really been going above and beyond the shounen standards we've come to know by now. Demon Slayer, is one such example of how to buck the long running trends of shounen anime, all while still being just as bad-ass and impactful for fans.

At its core the anime is actually rather slow, something I'm sure most of us are familiar with when it comes to shounens. It does pretty much all you would expect of a modern shounen anime. Lengthy battles, an emphasis on power levels, adapting to your opponent/environment over the course of multiple episodes, dialogue during fights, you name it. Yet it manages to do all of this seamlessly with an equal amount of urgency and intensity. Every episode felt quick and eventful, as if I had just sat down to watch my episode of the week, only to feel like it ended as I sat down. when in actuality it was twenty minutes of exciting moment to moment action intricately woven together by it's plot. Guess I never got to physically sit down in the first place, since Demon Slayer had me so far on the edge of my seat I was practically standing. The only time this anime ever hard stopped or slowed down, was when the characters themselves physically needed a moment to rest and recuperate. Make no mistake though, those episodes were fantastic too, overall the pacing itself is damn near spot on, and I haven't even talked about the characters yet!

I'll be focusing on mostly Tanjiro and Nezuko since the other leads show up later, and are better seen on the big screen rather than read about. I'll start with Nezuko since it's pretty straight forward, she's very adorable, endearing, and cool in combat when Tanjiro lets her out of her box. That's pretty much it though, sorry Nezuko fans, I've just got more to say about Tanjiro. Tanjiro is a good lad through and through, though there is one thing that separates him from the majority of shounen protagonists, compassion. Because of his dilemma with Nezuko, Tanjiro has a much deeper connection to the demons in this anime. That connection might not be directly, but sympathy goes a long way when he needs to cut down someone who's going through the same struggles as his beloved sister. Unlike most protagonists, they don't truly understand what their opposition has gone through, what unfair cards they have dealt, Tanjiro understands that. It's what makes Tanjiro's personal quest so captivating, for him to save his suffering loved one who is fighting just to stay in control, he must put those who have lost control to rest. Tanjiro is without a doubt in my mind, the best boy of 2019.

Anything else I could talk about this anime would just come off as gushing at this point, since the anime has no obvious faults. The 2D animation is on point while also including some well thought out usage of CGI, the soundtrack is exhilarating, and the voice actors all put in a great effort! There really is no shortcoming in Demon Slayer I can think of, Ufotable put a lot of effort into making this anime the best it could be, and it worked! While my review will end here, Demon Slayer's anime won't stop here, thanks to the immediate reveal of a movie sequel coming in the near future, the Infinite Train arc. Until then, I'll be waiting, as for anyone who hasn't jumped on this hype train yet, the time is now!

No problem

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuper late reply even though it should have been T_T gomenesai
Haha true about the mood! Mood changes and I don't always have the same energy to power through anime that are long and repetitive throughout ofc.. at least that's my intake on it. I'll definitely watch it in a bit.. been enjoying myself with a bunch of completely different anime so I forget more about Hellsing.. until I talked about Hellsing just now.. damn memories, gonna scar me for life! xD
Ok how tf do you wait for 4 years? Have you been doing monk training for patience in the mountains like humanity's savior Tomoki Sakurai in that one episode? And I don't watch GoT, unfortunately D:
LOL smh Asimi
That's amazing! European people speak so many different languages it always fascinating, here in NA, it's basically French or Spanish. Generally. ;)

Thanks for the reminder and explaining that you're joking as if you were talking to someone actually retarded. :')
It's good, awesome, all the words alike, but it's just too much edgy in one sitting. Idk, it always seemed like something I'd feel like watching but I don't feel anything watching it. No idea if that even made sense. xD What's the parody?
See, that's why I don't watch airing eps. Nevermind cliffhangers, I dunno how the majority of people wait so long for eps in general. xD
Hey that's pretty neat. :D

So what languages can you speak fluently other than English and Polish?

See this why it isn't half as fun living in Canada compared to all those Euro places :(
You could at least pretend not to rub it in on my face :(
