I don't get it, Kimetsu no Yaiba came out last year and now it's blowing the whole anime community.Yeah it's sure a good anime but is it really a masterpiece as they call it or worth all the praise out there?
Personally I don't think so.

It has a high production values beyond that it's just a standard shounen.
If you're a fan of the genre you should probably check it out there is a decent chance that you might enjoy it.

i would say not. Vibrant character design, but that is the only redeeming point.

the characters are very flat, plot is flat, enemies have all a background as part of tear generator, youll become death when zenitsu is introduced. Overall not a bad anime but only if you really like shounen. Its pretty much "mc can push trough" anime without putting effort in the struggles
 
Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living

It's the high production values. It would be just a normal above average dark fantasy show if it weren't for the fancy visuals and music. With that being said, it's definitely a show I would recommend. I had a great time watching it.

It's a decent anime with pretty good visuals and awesome fight scenes with a pretty darn good choreography in it. It's worth it.

Unfortunately it has one of the most annoying characters you will ever encounter in animes that do nothing more than scream and "trying to be funny" in the most obnoxious way possible, enough to make your ears bleed.

Does the anime deserves the current rating? I don't think so, I would have given it a 8.5/10 but thanks to that annoying idiotic character I was forced to reduce the rating to 7.5/10.

Demon Slayer, so far, is nothing but a mediocre shounen backed by over-the-top art and animation. I guess you could say it is fairly dark, compared to Boku no Hero and ....Boruto. Humor in the show, while enjoyable, is not the highlight. Soundtrack is great, characters are pretty likable. One-villain-one-episode format during the first half of the anime did annoy for some time.

Definitely worth the time, but clearly not a masterpiece. I find it hard to give KnY a score more than 8.

Almost finished with it and while I enjoy it enough, I don’t think it’s a masterpiece. It’s generic as far as... well, everything goes, but it does have an amazing production value and it’s not pretending to be something deep or profound so I’d give it a solid 8.

Personally I don't think so.
I agree that it's a bit overated but still it's by far the best new generation shonen. because:1- the main character has real goal( saving his sister) not some bulshit goal like I want to be strongest hero, wizard etc
2:the story mainly focuses on the main characters not side characters like other shonen so you always feel like main quest not side quest
3: characters don't have unique personality but still combination of the cast are amazing.
4: main character don't use talk no jutsu and kills his enemy. And he said he won't forgive them for eating humens
5:if you read the manga you will see that this manga don't have plot armor expect for main character
I think these reasons are enough for being one of best in it's own genre so will call it masterpiece in it's own genre not masterpiece among all anime

Not sure how you went to the conclusion that KnY is globally loved in the anime community. I personally witness more hate and "it's overrated" rather than actual praise. Just this thread generated a lot of hate already.

Anyway, I think this show is worth it. Not only because anime is an audioVisual product which means that the visual is one primary aspect of why we watch anime in the first place. So yes the art, animation and OST is a great selling point. But also because we would most likely get an entire adaptation of the manga which is honestly rather rare and worth mentionning. Moreover, it might be a classic (generic) battle shounen as we all know, but isn't all battle shounen more or less similar to each other anyway? The reason why we watch a battle shounen is mainly because of these things they have in common. If you want your battle shounen to be something else, then just don't watch a battle shounen. Keep this in mind, KnY is not pretending to be a different battle shounen. And this is not a bad thing since that's just what it decided to be and people like it that way.

I don't think it's a masterpiece, but it is enjoyable. The animation is a big plus for the show and tbh it wouldn't be that good without it. I really enjoy good animation, would literally watch a show about nothing just to see some breathtaking animation, but obviously wouldn't give it a 10/10. The show is very good for beginners and also when you just want to watch something quick. I read the manga and tbh the potential it had was ruined for me, the story went really downhill after some point, so as they will animate more seasons the popularity will fall, in my opinion. But looking forward to the movie because that arc was still good and I am expecting some godly animation.
But seriously, the second greatest mistake of KnY is the lack of Nezuko (the first is the abrupt ending). She had a potential to be one of the greatest characters in KnY, but she was just trown away. My greatest disappointment.
So yes, KnY season 1 is actually good. The things that will come later will be worse. (obviously, there are some interesting backstories etc., but overall it's a ruined potential)

Nope. This series is the perfect example for something that's overrated just because it's popular. Not even the so praised episode 19 was that good, obvious plot. A true masterpiece is the episode 11 of kaguya sama season 2. That's really worth watching.

Personally, I think it's overrated. It has amazing animation and... that's it. I think that's the only outstanding trait Demon Slayer has, as for the rest, it's just mediocre. Predictable fights, unoriginal and generic plot, lots of plot convenience and awful character writing (awful characters in general, Nezuko for example is more of a pet than a character). If it wasn't for the animation it would just be another shitty monster of the week seasonal battle shounen. I'm not saying that it's bad, the animation made it very enjoyable, but does it deserve all this praise like it's the best anime ever made? Totally not. Is it worth watching? Yeah, I think it is

Yep, I'm talking about Zenitsu, I almost stopped watching this anime thanks to that retard, he was unbearable to watch, I don't know how people praise shitty characters like him.

That being said, I did enjoyed Zenitsu in the last 2 episodes, he was a decent character there because he wasn't screaming like an idiot 24/7.

I'm going to be real with you and say the animation is the only redeeming quality of the series.

If all you care about is fighting and presentation with big flashy moves then why not watch it...don't be like me, when people told me it was good I thought they meant IT was good, not just the visuals.

Bruh the animation cannot be the only quality. KnY animation is inconsistent as fuck. You'll get a fully epic animated scene, then the next scene you'll get a badly drawn background with chibi characters. This show has one of the most inconsistent animation I've ever seen. You can find plenty of anime with better and more consistent animation than KnY. Anyone telling you the animation is its only quality is straight up lying to you and you fell for it.

A few good animated scenes cannot carry an entire show. That's what I'm trying to say. Otherwise, everything with good animation will receive praise while actually it's more frequently the opposite that we can observe. People like you are harsher on a show the moment the animation becomes above average.

I know people are saying that the animation only carried the anime but I personally disagree I first thought the anime wasn't worth watching in the first place because of the harsh comments being thrown at it but for me I enjoyed the fighing in the anime. I'd give it a 9 over 10 But what annoyed me are the certain flashing of backstories that would take around a minute before unleashing a certain power. But again it might be worth watching
