I Just started watch this anime and the anime was mind blowing the animation was so good like wow absolute cinema ... action scene is not much good but its first episode and it is just get started it was not a major battle but animeI just started watching Sword of the Demon Hunter, and wow-what a start. I went in with no expectations, but I was completely blown away. From the very first few minutes, this anime grabs your attention with stunning animation, a mysterious atmosphere, and an intriguing setup that promises a lot for future episodes.
Let me just say, the animation is absolutely beautiful. Like, seriously-cinema. Every frame looks like a piece of art. The way the lighting is done, the backgrounds, the movement-it's on a different level. There's this almost film-like quality to it that makes you feel like you're not just watching an anime, but experiencing a whole world. It's got that high-production value feel that really elevates the whole show.
Even though it's only the first episode, the story already feels rich and full of potential. We're introduced to a world where demons are real, dangerous, and clearly tied into the history and mythology of the setting. The vibe is kind of dark and mysterious, but it doesn't feel overwhelming or confusing. It's the kind of slow build that makes you curious. I love that it doesn't try to dump everything on the viewer at once-instead, it gives you just enough to keep you watching and wanting more.
Now, I'll be honest-the action scene in this episode wasn't mind-blowing. But I also get that this is just the beginning. It wasn't a major battle or anything, more like a small confrontation to give us a taste of what's to come. It felt more like a setup than a full-on showcase of what the series can do. So while the action wasn't the highlight yet, it's clear that the potential is there. And given how incredible the animation is overall, I have a feeling the bigger fights later in the series are going to be insane.
What really stood out to me was the tone and pacing. It doesn't rush, and it respects the audience's attention. The atmosphere is thick with tension and curiosity, and the characters-while not fully fleshed out yet-already seem interesting. I'm especially curious about the main character. You can tell there's a deeper story to him, and I'm excited to see how that unfolds.
Also, the soundtrack? It's subtle, but it works really well with the visuals. It sets the mood perfectly without overpowering the scenes. That kind of attention to detail just adds to the cinematic feel I mentioned earlier. Everything from the sound design to the camera angles feels very intentional and carefully crafted.
Overall, I'm genuinely impressed. It's rare that a first episode makes such a strong impression, but Sword of the Demon Hunter pulled it off. I can already tell this is going to be one of those shows that people will talk about. It's got the potential to be something really special if it keeps this up.
In short: animation-top-tier, absolutely cinema. Story-promising, intriguing, and just getting started. Action-not the strongest part yet, but there's so much room for it to grow. And the overall vibe? Dark, stylish, and totally immersive.
If you're on the fence about watching it, just go for it. Even if you're only mildly into fantasy or supernatural anime, this one is worth checking out for the visuals alone. I'm hyped to see where this story goes next, and I'll definitely be sticking around for the ride. Was very good the stroy the animation was cinema absolute cinema.

Don not read this review
This review is only for the first episode, and the rest of the anime was not worth all my praise. Another mediocre anime with a masterpiece first episode.
As of today, episode nine has been released.
Believe me, I've watched more than ten thousand episodes of anime and read as much manga as I can, but this one is so much of a masterpiece. I never thought an anime would be so much my type. It's rare that I feel an anime from the bottom of my heart. It could have been of higher quality and the art style would have been more creepy if it had been more detailed, but the story is like a gift to me, a fan of dark fantasy and drama. I hope the quality improves in future episodes. Since I haven't read the manga, I really enjoyed it. I hope more anime in this genre will be made and given more attention. Sorry for the bad grammar.

One hundred percent that dark anime that everyone craves Demonic sexy And stylish A Must watch. The biggest part about this anime is the Style Art
And story It can also get very insanely confusing At sometimes But obviously you need to listen and read closely As you would any anime If you've ever seen berserk It's
Very similar but backwards plot When you see the red eyes you will understand And that's me of course explaining that to you Without any type of small increment of Spoilers Which I would never wish upon anybody Some trying to explain this In the most Non Shalon Type of way Possible Just trust me You will love it if you Watched Berserk Just a little more sex Appeal.
Episode 1 started a bit weird for me and there are things in Episode that I hope will be revealed as the story goes. So far the stories and mysteries about demons that the Jinta is solving episode after episode are very interesting for me. The background stories speak of human relationships and human emotions such as greed, love, greed, etc., and how such strong emotions can turn anyone into a demon of their own.
Writing is creative and imaginative as its finest and I always look forward to the next episode.
The drawing and animation are top notch for me. I just wished there's an English dub though.

A breath of fresh air compared to other anime, its different in many ways but still manages to connect with the audience. The plot seems simple at first, but as the episodes go on more is revealed and it thickens. The main character is goated and the setting and music is also nice. The fights could have been a bit better coordinated but still only 4 episodes have aired , so we might get to see it later. Theres also a sense fo mystery of the world, since not much is known about anything, but the series does a good job of giving us more every episode
Definitely the best anime of 2025 spring, give it a shot!
