      Summary

      Reviewers say 'Demon Slayer' is acclaimed for its stunning animation, dynamic fight scenes, and emotional storytelling. Key themes include family bonds, loss, revenge, and Tanjiro's journey. However, some criticize the plot's simplicity, predictability, and lack of character depth. Repetitive humor is another noted downside. Despite these issues, the exceptional animation and engaging narrative make it highly entertaining, appealing to both new and seasoned anime fans.

      The show is going to reach its potential

      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.

      Really entertaining

      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.

      Breathtaking

      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.

      The episode that made me watch it all

      It might be too early to say...

      But Demon Slayer is easily one of the best anime experiences I've had. My son introduced me to it, and it was that episode in Season 3, Tanjiro's battle with the Upper Moon 6 siblings and their heartbreaking backstory, that pulled me in completely.

      So, I had to watch the rest!

      I'm blown away. Demon Slayer is a masterpiece. The character development is phenomenal. I have deep respect for the creators and the amount of heart that went into building this world.

      Every detail feels intentional, from the action to the emotion, from the humor to the horror. I even found myself caring about the demons. The emotional depth in both the anime and the MANGA hit me on a different level.

      I can't wait for the Infinity Castle Arc. This story has me all in.

      Awesome series!!

      When you have a good story combined with top notch animation, this is what you get. Hard to wait for each episode. Wish I could just binge watch this!

        • Daki has been given black underclothes under her obi, and wears black pants that cover her panties and legs.
