Synopsis

Ever since the death of his father, the burden of supporting the family has fallen upon Tanjirou Kamado's shoulders. Though living impoverished on a remote mountain, the Kamado family are able to enjoy a relatively peaceful and happy life. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to make a little money selling charcoal. On his way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take shelter in the house of a strange man, who warns him of the existence of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the woods at night.

When he finally arrives back home the next day, he is met with a horrifying sight—his whole family has been slaughtered. Worse still, the sole survivor is his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a bloodthirsty demon. Consumed by rage and hatred, Tanjirou swears to avenge his family and stay by his only remaining sibling. Alongside the mysterious group calling themselves the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjirou will do whatever it takes to slay the demons and protect the remnants of his beloved sister's humanity.

I started watching Anime after a long time and Kimetsu no Yaiba was the first one of this new chapter. New chapter because I realized I now like an entirely different genre.
I loved everything about this Anime: the animation, the storyline, the voice actors, the ost, just everything. It made me feel intense emotions and I am really looking forward to the last season.
The only thing I didn't like about it is the sexualization of the women (that's why I am giving it a 9), but I remembered that every shounen Anime unfortunately sexualizes women, and even if this is something that I don't ...

Mixed Feelings
Let me start by saying I am not a big fan of Shounen Action Anime to begin with. I don’t have much interest in seeing those long running 100+ episodes shows so back when there was only one season I gave this a shot. I get it, I get why people like it, but in my opinion it’s just painfully repetitive and uninteresting. Ufotable does an incredible job I will never deny that, but as far as the story goes I was far from engaged.

The characters are probably one of the weakest aspects, Tanjiro is cool and all but the other two are just obnoxious. ...

Honestly, this show is quite bad. None of the characters are likeable, and they all have little to no development. The only emotion this show tries to convey is sadness and grief, which it does quite poorly. The writing is lazy, and the only pro to this anime is the production quality. One of my biggest issues are the side characters. Zenitsu is an annoying brat who suddenly becomes powerful when he falls asleep. Wow, so quirky. He had room for development, but instead of facing his fears, he just relies on going unconscious. Inosuke is slightly better than Zenitsu. However, he is still a ...
