Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. |
 |
| It's pretty average (imo) but at the same time extremely popular which means that it's going to attract detractors. |

| Becoz it's popular Some people hate it becoz its generic, which they aren't really wrong |
| My experience was that much of what it was going for simply didn't appeal to me. I don't think it's bad but there were several things I didn't care for. (I haven't read the manga, so my comments are only for the anime) I felt that the characters were largely one-dimensional, with Nezuko being the biggest culprit. Zenitsu and Inosuke are either funny or annoying for people, and for me it's the latter, and overall the attempts at humor, to me, fell flat on their face more often than not. The abilities used by the characters were very bland to me; Tanjiro's were fine but the arrow dude made me roll my eyes. I take issue with Nezuko's abilities with how she recharges her energy through nothing other than sleep; this might be nitpicking but my suspension of disbelief can only go so far, and generating energy from nothing rubs me the wrong way. Some of the character designs were too eccentric for my tastes. Overall, the writing felt very average for a shounen. These are mostly subjective gripes and I understand why other people would like it. If I were ten years younger I probably would give it an 8/10 or so rather than a 5/10, but I no longer feel the same excitement for shounen anime that I used to. |
 A society which fails to uphold empathy as its foremost guiding principle is doomed to ignore or even defend the exploitation of its most vulnerable members. |
| Probably cause it's popular and the plot isn't anything too crazy, but I personally enjoyed it. |
| Cuz is popular. Demon Slayer is making a lot of people anime fans so I'm glad. Why are u saying Demon Slayer isn't popular in the West? I see it everywhere. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| because it's awful at every front apart from some flashy special effects and some fluid animation in a couple fight scenes? |
| It's probably not as popular in the west outside of one episode because the asthetic design and choices in the series appeal more to anyone who grew up or have intrest in Japanese culture. Take for example the drum demon or that demon that throws those balls, I can tell they're probably based off of some kind of folklore demon or creature. I enjoyed the show but my friends who like anime but know very little aren't aware of how impactful the design choices are will pass it off as cartoon with asian asthetics. |
| Cuz it's popular, I know it sounds stupid but some people like to hate shows like Demon Slayer on purpose just bcz they are popular |
 "I want to show that woman the true Yoshikage Kira. I want her to hear how I feel deep inside. That I want to take your slender neck into these hands and strangle you to death." |
| Maybe its because it was #1 in Japan and their expectations were too high but after watching it, they saw that the series wasn't that good as they expected and thought it doesn't deserve to be that popular and started to hate it. My personal opinion, I don't hate it, I enjoyed while watching it but it's not in my favorites. I didn't read the manga but gonna buy the first volume. |
| I love the anime dearly, but the manga is something that I dropped after getting past just over 10 chapters. The art is alright, the story is surprisingly empty, and the characters aren't interesting at all in written form. |

| I don't mind shonen stuff, and demon slayer seemed better than most at first. It was okay until the yellow scared shota and boar kid come in. Then it turns into a jarring combination of shonen antics with drama, often happening in back to back panels. Also, we need more fanservice for the boxed up ballgag loli. |
 |
| Because it's a popular shounen and the average otaku always will hate popular shounens. Yes, the life of this people is sad |
 |
| I doubt it real hatred, it's more jealousy. Think about it this way, an anime with no real leg to stand on gets the ufotable makeover and their favorite manga will probably never look half as good, or doesn't if it's already animated |
| Stuff in the streets, Stuff with drip in the sheets |
| It was just a generic shounen anime and still got popular, so elites got mad and more people joined the herd. TBH ufotable carried it so it kinda justifies it too. |
 |
| Kimetsu no yaiba is very poor, and for why people hate it bacause it's overating, lot of people hate it becuase this overating can make new anime quality production decrease in kimetsu no yaiba there no strategy or mind battle in battle scene, what MC do is just move foward and this is bad part about it. when lot of people like this thing too much most of other mangaka and anime production will trying too copy it, and this move can make new generation anime quality decrease lot, because make this kind of story is easy. there no strategy, mind play and more. after all they make anime is for money, and if they can make money with easy way why they not try it and this is why many people angry with this anime, because they can destroy anime quality for new generation this anime is create by ufotable studio and also same studio with fate series but why kimetsu no yaiba more popular and have more high rating then Fate series this is unfair for lagend anime like fate and more good anime to lose with such simple and no need hard to think to making anime. and this is why lot of people hate this anime. |

| Probably because its bad as far as the anime goes i haven't read the manga so i can't tell |
| Demon Slayer fucked my wife, pissed on my dogs, framed me for the Armenian Genocide and canceled me on Twitter |
| Stuff in the streets, Stuff with drip in the sheets |
| Demon Slayer never gave me my copy of Mario Party 2 back. |
    beep boop bop pow |
| I think it's because they think it's "overrated" and it's getting more popular than other animes. Although it's not really the best manga, in my opinion, it was a fun read though（っ＾▿＾）. |
 |
| Because it's bad and it was only successful because of the production. |
| because it is bad. even for a battle shonen, it is genuinely bad. if you actually want to know why then you could read a review, but I can sum it up for you if you want - terrible characters based off of singular personality traits who never get any proper development - awful comedy - power system is never explained in any detail, mc gets inexplicably stronger through cop-out timeskip because author didn't want to bother explaining the mechanics of their own world - little to no worldbuilding, most of the time is wasted on braindead fights with no strategy or suspense - plot is messy, disjointed, full of asspulls, and rushed - akame ga kill syndrome in final arc - awful final battle and dumb ending/epilogue |
 |
| When something is popular, it attracts fans AND anti-fans. Nothing mindboggling about it |

SuicideMaster said: "Because it's popular hurr durr" Are you guys not familiar with the fact that people can have opinions that differ from yours? I genuinely don't understand fanboys. Hey, I dislike the demon slayer too but "Because it's popular hurr durr" is actually a legit reason. If it wasn't that popular, I might not have watched or read it. I was recommended by so many people to watch the show (and I was also tricked by the fantastic animation in the trailer lmao but it turns out that's the only good thing about it). The more people watch or read it, the more people like or dislike it. And yes, because of different opinions. |

TheFireNinja said: Deathlydash said: People say they hate this anime because it's a "typicole chonen", but they don't explain why it is that. Most complaints about shounen are the same. It makes me wonder sometimes why people even bother to watch any shows from the genre. I understand giving shows a try. But most of them seem to regret watching them by the end and want to blame the fandoms for coaxing them into watching them. Do people actually blame fandoms for recommending shows that they dislike? I haven't met someone like that but wow that's some serious mental gymnastics right there. I mean.. it's not like people could force you to watch a show lol |
