Both main characters are kind, sensitive, intelligent and with their own little quirks. Super power and a super sensitive nose. Both Tanjiro and Midoryia have a trainer (Urokodaki and All Might), they go through lots of hardships in early year, but have decent development and become stronger.
Shows that are the definition of "how to be an anime shounen". Both are great anime that do not change much or almost nothing of the famous formula of a shounen (powers, protagonism, the power of friendship, etc.), but that simply execute it in the right way, unlike many others that waste potential to become more mainstream. The first is more about superheroes, and the second is about demon hunters. Simple and generic concepts in theory, but very well made and fun in practice.

Two mainstream Shounen Jump anime with similar protagonists. Large amounts of comedic relief with side characters and self-improvement with protag. Slower-paced story with every fight lasting three to four episodes.
This are great shonen's who show very well the way to became strong and go for your dream. Main's characters are similar in that case. Alsow their personalities. Good fights and motivations

Relatively simple shonen where the primary focus is on delivering memorable action set pieces above all else

My hero academia is a lot like demon slayer in the way they both have a motivated main protagonist that defends people, and they both have minimal fan service, so you don't have to worry about your parents walking in at the wrong time 😅

Protagonists' power progression (lowest to highest), supernatural events and characters' abilities. Simple story (Good vs Evil).
If you're looking for a new-gen action anime that's worth watching then I recommend these animes to you. (But in my opinion My hero Academia is the better anime, because not only does my hero academia have more sequels, but it also has more character development.)

In both anime, the protagonist is quite weak but can perform admirably when called upon. Both anime series feature a trio of three. Boku no Hero has Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto, while Demon Slayer has Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. Both trios are quite similar, both trios are cringy but still entertaining to watch, and both trios lack a love interest. Both of these shows have excellent animation and endearing characters. If you like one, I highly recommend the other.
Both are easy to get into, emphasize on action and animation, and feature generic tropes.

Both are similar stories based on a hero's journey or beginnings.
- Boku no hero is centred around Deku's dream to one day be like his role model, All
Might.
- Kimetsu no Yaiba too has a protagonist who trains to be a protector and defender of
the vulnerable. However, this quest is a necessity due to the nature of the world the
characters reside in. The story is much darker and melancholic.
