I hope that kimetsu no yaiba is a recurring anime and not only lasts for the confirmed 26 episodes. The story and animation are absolutely breathtaking. Very keen to see how it progresses throughout. so far, a really awesome anime.

I'm calling for it this show is going to be amazing and for the last 2 episodes have already got me because the animation is just breathtaking and very crisp too. And the storytelling is gotta be good as "Dororo". And the studio is from Ufotable, The one that made the Fate series no wonder the animation is so good.

I love this anime, by reading the manga and comparing the episodes I'm just blown away, the action scenes are so impressive, as well the pace, I'm usually upset when there's a lot of missing stuffs from the mangas, but not this one, so far its been great.

Randomly saw this anime and clicked on it wasn't even paying attention to it and then it just got me hooked from the get go like literally from the very start I've been glued to it.
Hero academia and demon slayer(kimetsu no yaiba) are my favourites of all time

Awesome literally awesome. I have seen alot of anime shows but this was one of the best and people attacking this show have a personal grudge to be honest as it broke some records and the fact that its fans are not attacking the critics is a proof on all its own that how toxic they are

This show has been given justice, this is a anime that has outdone the manga. Tanjiro our protaganist is unlike many other shonen anime protaganists (one piece: Luffy for example) while Luffy's goal is to become the pirate king, tanjiros goal does not base itself in his growth. It is his will and moral of saving others and furfilling his quest of helping his sister that drives him forward which means that gaining strengh is not the primarily focus which for me adds a new perspective to the show. If you have seen up until episode 19 and you have not rated this show, There really is no convincing you. This show is a masterpiece and you'll be hooked from the first episode!
What an anime! Most often times a soundtrack tells how good an anime will be and from the first few scenes I knew I was onto something here. The story and emotions that run through this show is just breathtaking. Anime's are rarely made like this anymore. So glad I found it.

Great animation, interesting story, and a lot of brutal scenes later on. Def. Not a slow start but it kinda eases itself into the story and gradually gets better. Really liking the show

I went into Kimetsu no Yaiba with high expectations. After all of the hype surrounding it within the anime community, I expected it to blow me away. Sadly, it didn't, and ultimately, I walked away from Demon Slayer somewhat disappointed. This anime definitely had its good points; however, sloppy writing and hollow characters ended up bogging this anime down.
Let's start with the good.
The animation was stunning, and the soundtrack was great.
Ufotable did an excellent job with the animation as usual. The fights flowed smoothly, with careful detail and excellent utilization of different shot types throughout different scenes. The color palate was diverse and vibrant, which benefited the character designs and certain scenes greatly. I didn't pay much attention to the soundtrack, but when I did notice, it reflected themes appropriately and often would amplify moods within different scenes.
Additionally, the story is decent.
Minus a few conveniences here and there, the story is well developed with a clear villain and end goal. The power structure is well constructed, and changes in powers are not easily attained.
Where did it struggle though?
Well firstly, the characters. Yeah, they're likable.... that's it. If that's enough for you then this gripe doesn't hold much weight, but if you fancy all-around well-written characters, I don't think you'll find them here. What you'll find instead are characters that seem to revolve around a certain trait/group of traits that define their character and leave no room for realistic depth.
Tanjiro is a generic and 1-dimensional main character. Okay cool, his family died and his sister became a demon so he's searching to find a cure. Okay cool, he's compassionate and kind towards almost everyone. That's great and all, but those things still don't tell me enough about his personality and character; they never really further his character later either. It seems like the writer just wrote down a handful of good traits and said, "Hey, that's good enough for a main character." They give him no real weaknesses other than his initial physical inferiority, which virtually makes him just as human as his demon sister. The fact that his character and actions throughout the story mostly revolve around other characters and events is a testament to how poorly established he is as a singular character.
Zenitsu showed some promise during his initial introduction in the final selection arc and during the "spider fight" (I don't know what to call it) but ends up starting and finishing the same: a character for comedic relief, which would be fine if the satire in constantly screaming and complaining was actually funny to me.
Inosuke is a loose cannon supporting character who doesn't have much to offer other than occasional comedic relief and utilization as another piece for fights.
I really can't rip on Nezuko though; the writing mostly protects her character from criticism, and she's adorable.
Speaking of the writing, it's not good. It's not awful, but it's not good. Honestly, it feels like this show was written for children. They constantly choose to tell instead of show or tell while showing. Nearly every action or emotion is either expressed through dialogue or inner monologue, which severely dampens the delivery of any emotional blow and makes the strong accompanying imagery practically superfluous.
The dialogue also suffers severely from the lack of strong character foundation. It comes out awkward at times and mostly just serves to further the plot or to briefly check on the characters' states. The problem with the lack of revealing dialogue is the subsequent weak characters and character relationships. I can't even describe the primary character dynamics other than the words "friendly" and "caring"; there's nothing remotely notable about them other than maybe Inosuke calling Tanjiro "Monjiro" and Zenitsu's dependency on Tanjiro.
In the end, Kimestsu no Yaiba succeeds on certain levels but also fails on others. I came in with expectations of a masterpiece but left with a feeling of pseudo-fulfillment. Maybe if I started with lower expectations I would have a more positive reception. Nonetheless, it still emerges at the top of its respective season of anime, and I would probably recommend it to friends if I wanted to introduce them to anime. 6/10 now please proceed to find this to be not helpful because you disagree with my opinion.
TLDR: Great animation, nice music, cool fights, Interesting plot and setting. Flat characters, awful writing. Depending on how you weigh different aspects, you may enjoy this quite a bit. I recommend it.

I'm an attack on titan fan and even I have to admit that it's a really good show...the animation from ufotable is just absolutely brilliant and beats most anime and all animated shows around the planet. I admit, the storyline of demon slayer isn't anything new, some people say it's an overrated show, some say it's cliche...and that's ok...why???...because every single person is entitled to their own opinion...the criticisms might be true but I will say this...there's a reason why this anime is so popular and there's a reason why so many people not only in Japan but around the world enjoy it. Not every single anime or TV show has to have a plot twist of a story like attack on titan or Vinland saga, as long as its entertaining and enjoyable for everyone to enjoy then really thats all that matters. Demon slayer is a good show and I would highly recommend it to anyone especially people who aren't anime watchers, it's incredible.

Well executed, but the only thing that differentiates it from a million other battle anime's is the artstyle. Characters have chemistry, but can get extremely annoying at times and most are very one dimensional.

This anime is overrated imo. The animation is definitely top-notched, no doubt about it. But here are where the faults lie:
1. Mis-matched music. They need to do better with music editing. Some battles' epicness is taken away by the un-epicness of the background music. 2. Too much internalization. I know internalization is part and parcel of animes but goddamn the main character just won't shut up for a second. 3. Above all, the anime has a mediocre and typical storyline. The main character sets out on a quest to find the cure for his sister. To this end he must fight demons, which is basically like every other shounen anime ever. That's it. There's nothing else to the story. No depth. No complexity. To make up for the lackluster storyline, the author just includes some fanservicing scenes with cute adorable characters. If you're just looking for well-animated fighting sequences, this is the anime for you. If you are looking for animes that raise philosophical questions to make you ponder for days and days, look elsewhere.

UFOTABLE (animation company) nailed it.
Its totally epic anime and story. I can't believe something like this possible in anime right now...as i now its also got Twitter moment .....
Visuals 9/10 but writing? 4/10, there is almost no character development... From start to end of the 1st test its been promising, and I enjoyed the show that far a lot,,, since Inosuke joins the "plot" it goes down, this character ruined the whole show for me, not funny, just plain annoying, he had no purpose at all in the show... Still good anime, just not as good as it's advertised
Emotional and beautiful. Very little fan service compared to other animes. The main character is wholesome and a joy to see grow as a person and see his interactions with others!

I personally found the pacing and the storytelling to be horrible in the first 10-15 eps. The drama and the intensity pick up towards the latter half of the show but the pacing gets better only slightly. I don't get how we're not told anything about the "Breathing Styles" - this kid goes ON AND ON about "Water Style"; nothing about the levels - you were on LEVEL 2 an episode ago, Tanjiro! How did you get to level 10 in a span on 20 mins for us, but < 5 mins in your battle, and then be surprised at Tomioka's 11th level?
And don't get me wrong, I am not hating on the show, I just wanna be able to see what everybody else see. Again, AMAZING animation. Would 10/10 recommend that people watch this show for a visual treat, but the story telling and the pacing in the first half...dunno man! So, if you like the show, lets talk about why you like it?
Will be watching Mugen Train over the weekend. I'll be going in with 0 expectations. Lets see what this turns out to be.

The story of demon slayer is pretty simple. Tanjiro is the main character, his familiy gets killed by a demon only his sister survived. Now he is becoming a demon slayer to hunt the demon who murdered his family. For that he'll be part of an organization, called demon slayer corps, which a ranking system going from 1 to 10. On this journey he meet two other young demon slayer, which then accompaing him on his quest.
Well, reading that you might see many pretty generic plotlines. Of course, that must not be bad per se. But the thing here is, that the characters are quite flat. Our young hero Tanjiro for example is really nice and friendly, thats it. He has no flaws, no errors. He has a tragic backstory, cries sometimes and must train more to become stronger... wow, never heard that before. Same goes for all the other characters and also for the world. Like the ranking system for the organization, it was just once mentioned. During the first season we only get to know members from the highest rank. What about all the other ranks? ( It would be like in One Piece during the first 100 episode we will only meet yonkos ). And to the style of the main characters: The main characters look so much out of place with the hair and the styling, compared to other people. And nobody is paying attention to that (not like in FMA were everybody is constantly looking at them) What really is amazing about the tv show is the animation and beautiful drawing. It is really top, watching the episode 19 season 1 was really amazing. Also the music is quite good. (But honestly, music and animation not as good as AOT - lets be real here).
The tv show is okay to watch, it can be funny and interesting. Maybe younger audiences will love it more. For me it is quite predictable and generic.
Is it a masterpiece like so many keep saying? No, not for me.

This show will be a cornerstone for a new generation of anime. Everything about it; the story, the characters, the music, and ESPECIALLY the visuals are on another level. If you don't believe me, make it to episode 19 and you will see the peak of all anime. Most breathtaking episode to date.
