Chicken Papa is truly ingenious. In the beginning, a woman waits for an elevator to arrive to her floor. This represents how the people of our generation continue to wait for something convenient to help them even at the expense of others. When she gets into the elevator, the woman presses for floor nine. It is only one floor away from the maximum amount of floors this elevator can carry her. This is outrageously inconsiderate of her sense she doesn't say a word and acts as if it is normal for the elevator to do a human's bidding.

The elevator doors are closing... but abnormity ... strikes as Chicken Papa (a human sized chicken) walks into the elevator and politely says he gets off on floor ten. The woman presses the button, of course, but immediately looks away from Chicken Papa. She doesn't want to admit to her sins of pushing around technology. The scene also foreshadows a later part of this masterpiece.

Chicken Papa comments on the fact that she probably ate garlic chicken the other day. The woman immediately tries to act as if she never heard what he said by saying "pardon", but Chicken Papa knows she heard. She then apologizes quickly to him and looks back into the corner of the elevator as before. She is ashamed of herself, for she has been confronted by the very thing she thought was supposed to be doing as she would like. There is a moments silence...

Chicken Papa begins to cluck rapidly and the screen fades to white. This part is up for interpretation. The common belief is that the woman is imagining Chicken Papa and he is not even real. All Chicken Papa is is a figment of her imagination, the part of her brain that admits eating chickens without their permission is wrong, the side of her brain that admits making a elevator (which could easily kill her) do her bidding is wrong and shameful, and the side of her brain that wants to say she is sorry. At the end of the day, she went on with her disgusting life as a chicken abuser and elevator dictator.

This anime is really the greatest of all time.

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE WHOLE ANIME SERIES (slight reference to manga)

Demon Slayer: a title that makes small children and grown men and women alike dart up out of their seats in excitement. Demon Slayer has some of the most beautiful animation I have ever seen. With this being said, the characters and story are nothing more than bland copy and paste versions of a bunch of different battle Shonen series. The show follows Tanjiro Kamado and his journey to find a cure for his kid sister Nezuko so she can turn back into a human after being turned into a demon by Muzan ... Kibutsuji, but to do so, Tanjiro has to collect blood that has a high concentration of Muzan's blood. This sets up Tanjiro with a boring and overused goal: to be the strongest. Although I don't believe the show comes out and says it, Tanjiro has to be the strongest demon slayer to defeat the disappointing main antagonist Muzan who is the "most powerful demon" (I think upper rank 1 would've made a way better main antagonist and final boss).
The characters: bland, boring, occasionally has some good characters, but not enough worth mentioning. Inosuke and Zenistu are extremely loud and obnoxious, this is quite annoying throughout some episodes.
Story: Nothing special
Art: Breathtaking
Sound: Amazing, of course

I very much enjoyed this anime, but it has nothing to do with the original source material or story... for the most part. Something dragged me into buying the manga box set, but I'm not sure what. Demon Slayer is one of those anime that you need to shut off your brain and just enjoy the splendid fight scenes. I have to take my hat off to Ufotable, their work on the series has been absolutely fantastic, and I don't think anyone could ask for a better adaptation.

Do I recommend this anime?
I highly recommend this anime. It's a very fun watch if you're up for a generic story with fights that will make your jaw drop (and I promise there are a lot of those), so please, give Demon Slayer a try and form your own opinion on it!
