*CONTAINS SPOILERS* (it’s really long sorry) *MANGA SPOILERS TO*
Demon Slayer has to be one of my favorite animes. The characters especially, the music, storyline and overall development is something I really enjoyed.
First, let’s talk about the characters. The three main characters have interesting background, you just have to read the manga. Tanjiro might seem like that typical “hero” of a story or protagonist but he goes deeper than that. He might be similar to many other protagonists but he had distinct features that set him apart from others. For example, the fact that we know noting/ some things about some feature he has, his
...
earrings/scar for example are still mysteries if you just watched the first season, he might be kind hearted but his motives are not so kind hearted. One of them is revenge but deeper down he also wants to protect what’s dear to him and others, human lives. Now onto Inosuke, he might seem like an annoying type character when you first see him, but as the story progressed, Inosuke became more than that, we see his skills in action and that fact that he never backs down from a fight. Inosuke also becomes more kind hearted towards Tanjiro as the story goes on, showing his charcter development, since, in the beginning he disliked him. Finally Zenitsu to be honest, I find his crying and outburst of screaming is funny. I feel like people can relate to Zenitsu as he is a character that most of us would be if we were in this world. Also, the fact that Zenitsu is more powerful when he sleeps is great development, you wouldn’t typically expect for a main character to be scared like that to. Nezuko isn’t a major character in my eyes but she is a good part to the story. The fact that she is always there to help her brother creates this feeling it adds the love they feel for each other (SIBLING LOVE) Nezuko also not eating humans adds development to her character, it shows us that she can fight as a “Demon Slayer” though she is a demon herself.
(Sorry there’s a lot of character stuff)
The Harshira have some of my favorite characters in the whole entire show. Each of them has a unique design and breathing style. The don’t get enough screen time in the show, but in the manga, you can really see the full extent of there powers. The nine pillars are some of the most amazing people in the show that are labeled side characters. They each have “their own” arcs that is shared. I also wanted to mention them because many reviews I have seen don’t typically mention them since there screen time is low.
Moving on to the battles, I believe that demon slayer has some of the best battles out there. The battles between the Upper and Lower moons especially. For example, during the second season, Uzui Tengen’s battle with the Upper Moon Six had me in the edge of my seat the whole time. The intense ness of the battle was heart reaching, and the speed was also incredible.
The battles in DS also can profe that the “good guys” don’t always win every battle. For example, Rengoku and Shinbou both die in the show/manga. There deaths can show that the DS’S don’t always win against the enemies they face. Rengoku’s and Akaza battle was intense as well, it had me on the edge of my seat, I seriously didn’t expect Rengoku to die. They use a lot of shock factor and plot twisters during the battles make you want to keep watching.
Now to the Arcs. I believe that all the arcs are amazing in there own right, my tow favorites would have to be the Entertainment District Arc and the Mountain one with the spider demon family. The fact that the Arcs both incorporated different Hashiras made them even better. They didn’t just include Shinbou or Giyuu but they incorporated Tengen in as well, making the Arcs just that much better. Each arc is unqie in there own way, they can show the development of each character and the plot line.
Now to the demons + animation. The demons backstory’s makes you feel actually sorry for them. The demons showed in the show can be catogized as major demons and lesser demons. The demons that are major usually last longer and the lesser ones die more quickly and only take about one episode to kill off. I personally think that adding the backstories of the demons that we all used to hate makes you feel sympathy for them to the point where you wish they could have been humans or they could have not eaten people like Nezuko. My personal favorite Demon was Rui and his mother.
Animation from this show is beyond amazing, the animation is a major part of the show and this especially goes for the second season. The way the fire in the second season is drawn and portrayed is just amazing, you could almost belive is that the fire was truly real. The animation during any of the battles was amaze and really portrayed the seriousness of each battle. I also liked the water graphics when it came to Giyu’s Water Breathing Technique known as “Dead Calm” I thought that it was fabulous.
The music for each season was amazing as well. The art, official or not was amazing and it really showed the true character designs. For example, demon slayers overall art style is really unique and extremely pretty. The official Covers for each series are detailed, and amazingly pretty.
I seriously enjoyed this show and I believe everyone should at least watch 10 episodes ti really understand the story line.
