I was disappointed because people say it will be the best shounen anime. I don't understand what else does this anime has except animation.This also has incredibly depicted fight scenes.But can animation alone cover for a poor story?
I would have loved this show if this wasn't so overhyped.
It fails to have a strong interesting start.Beat a demon and turn your sister to human. This cant even be compared to other shounens. For example: A kid leaves his town on a small boat to gain everything which can be achieved in his world and become the king of pirates (one piece, this idea sparks interest in
...
your mind to see his journey), A high school who can see ghosts and feels sorry for not being able to help them gets the power of Gods(soul reapers) overnight and now can purify souls and fight evil spirits (Bleach) etc.
Now, every aspect of the starting story feels similar to fullmetal alchemist. Elric Brothers/Tanjiro doesn't have a family anymore, Al/Nezuko isn't human anymore, Mustang/Tomoika gets impressed by Ed/Tanjiro and asks him to join State Alchemists/Demon Slayer Corps, Elric Brother/Tanjirou and Nezuko now go on a journey in order to make Al/Nezuko human again. So you immediately compare KNY to FMA and get disappointed in the end because it is all about to beat some demon
Later the old man forces the idea 'Humans are friends, Demons are bad' on Nezuko. So this eliminates any chance of character Development.If you can force this idea on all demons why do you suffer from demons in the world in the first place. The MC is pretty dull compared to any other currently airing shounen MCs as Meliodas or Midoriya. There is a yellow guy who isn't strong at first but he changes and now can beat anybody, yes you know who it is : Escanor. This character zentisu is very annoying and cries 5 times each ep. Characters like inosuke, nezuko and tomoika are amazing characters
The main villain is said to be the strongest demon and can turn anybody into a demon. The first impression of the main villain is very strong and is shown amazingly.He has a family.Upon seeing the MC,he immediately turns a guy into a demon and gets his family to a safe place. But the next time you see him, he is dressed as a woman and kills his own people. Why would you turn people into demons then kill them off because a demon of the same rank died due to attack by an elite of the opposite forces. We see in ep19 that tanjirou uses his special fire breathing technique to kill Rui and then celebrates with nezuko. But Rui says he chopped his own head off. This means tanjirou never touched Rui's neck. How tf Tanjirou thinks he just killed of his enemy by swinging his sword in air? i mean wtf? After all these years of training the mc cant tell if hit anything with his sword or not.
The writer tries to pull a sneaky on the readers and now the amazingly animated fight gets dumb af.
Watch this if you love animation with good fight scenes and don't care anything about the story and characters.
