Demon Slayer, the overhyped anime sensation that swept the world, falls disappointingly short of its lofty reputation. Despite the fervent fandom, I found the series to be nothing more than a flashy spectacle with little substance.

First and foremost, the plot of Demon Slayer is uninspired and painfully predictable. From the very start, it follows the tired trope of a young protagonist seeking revenge for his family's demise. The lack of originality is exacerbated by the formulaic structure of the storyline, offering no surprises or genuine moments of intrigue. It becomes nothing more than a mindless and tedious cycle of defeating demon after demon.

Moreover, the characters ... in Demon Slayer are shallow and one-dimensional. While the main protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, has a sympathetic backstory, his development is disappointingly minimal. The supporting cast fares even worse, as they are mere caricatures with little depth or growth. Their interactions feel forced, lacking genuine chemistry and failing to evoke any emotional investment.

Adding insult to injury, the pacing of the series is abysmal. Countless episodes are filled with mind-numbingly long battles that drag on without purpose or innovation. Instead of focusing on character development or advancing the plot, Demon Slayer opts for mindless action sequences that feel more like filler content than engaging storytelling.

In conclusion, Demon Slayer may appeal to those seeking mindless entertainment and stunning visuals. However, for those who crave originality, compelling characters, and a well-crafted narrative, this series is nothing more than a hollow shell of mediocrity. Save your time and look elsewhere for a truly remarkable anime experience.

Edit: Literally Peppa Pig got a better written story
Edit2: I have watched all 11 episodes and my opinion hasn't changed. Half of every episode contains backstories. Before a charactrer dies you watch 10-15 minutes of backstory to "get" some feeling for them. You cannot do this in all 3 Seasons + Movie now.

Edit3: People who send me messages to **** myself, should know that everybody got a different opinion. If you cannot accept other's views then you are still a kid. Grow up.

Edit4: I still stand by my first edit.
