You know that Dragonball Z episode where the entire cast played baseball together? An episode presumably created in between actually viable story arcs for the series, just had the characters in a feel-good setting where, in each episode, the stakes were extremely low and not much was happening.
That's what Demon Slayer did here. The one problem is, the DBZ baseball instance was one episode. ONE. Demon Slayer season 4 was basically 7 episodes of baseball time.
The amount of actual stuff happening would've better been covered in 2 episodes. With this, it comes across as the most exquisite milking of a series I've ever experienced. They apparently care far more about the money made on the series than the fact that one of their seasons proved to be absolutely terrible comparatively.
Sure, the characters are the cute, lovable figures we've grown accustomed to, and the aesthetic is still there, but the episodes are LARGELY empty. It's clipshow level engagement. Except clipshows generally only take up one episode, while Demon Slayer thought it permissible to develop an entire season of clipshows to have the series continue.
Absolutely shameless, and a shot against the actual value of the entire show due to it having an entire season you can essentially just skip. Not respectable.
