Why everybody keep saying that kimitsu no Yaiba is trash beacause of the story it mid while it a shounen series
| I've never understood the hate. It doesn't reinvent anything, but it does everything extremely well and efficiently. It's what pulled me back into anime and manga after I hadn't really watched or read much since college, so it's very special to me for that reason too. Overall, I think it deserves all the hype and praise it gets. |

| Being a 'shounen' like others isn't an excuse for the story/writing and characters to be a flop. If other shounen are like this, they also just aren't good and nothing's going to be an excuse for that other than just being labelled a 'shounen' as an excuse for its shortcomings. Like the dude above stated, just because it's a certain demographic this show is targeted for, I can't just throw away the problems for what it is. |
| Man not even AOT gets this much mid/trash/carried by animation threads as much as KNY does, sometimes i just feel bad. |
| 2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
B2004x said: My point here it kimetsu no yaiba story it decent not trash or garbage.It a shounen instead of too focus on the story or character development it should focus more on fighting sequence which kimetsu no Yaiba did one hell of a good job at.You guy complain the story it too simple or trash But it a shounen, of course the story it simple and easy to understand.Why you guy have to jugde it so hardly on the story side while it a shounen.Plus there people just hate it beacause it more popular than their favorite show.If you guy want a good story with dept and full of philosophy,character development than watch seinen instead of shounen.You guy just expect too much than dissapoint on you own than blame the anime for it.Kny has a decent story(not the best or masterpiece but good enough)for a shounen and have amazing, god tier fight sence Its popularity doesn't justify it's quality like a show with that much praise and this high rating must be very spectacular in world building or character writing and i won't talk about popularity as there are many mid series with damn high popularity as its driven by hype and fear of missing out factor. As you said its story is decent which i actually agree and have damn near beautiful fights but thing is when you said they focused on fighting i would say no as the source material is never that great piece of fighting like you see one punch man and even the manga got damn amazing fights but i am not gonna compare it but will say whatever this franchise is attracting is due to ufotable direction that't it, like i get there are too many haters but many a times they make very solid points as in its praise doesn't suit it's quality, like AOT is more popular or near popular to KNY but on its forum i don't think that many threads complaining as on KNY its too much, as in sometimes it feels that they are right about this franchise. However i enjoyed the show and never took it on high face value as i watched all previous ufotable works so i knew its gonna be a good watch and followed kny since its release and even then i will say the praise its getting is justified only for the animation and that's it, characters, story being decent is nowhere near the level to justify 8+ rating for manga or anime and we all know its just hype points courtesy to ufotable. And before you say why other ufotable shows never got that popular i will stop as most work done is on fate or garden of sinners and it released on the time anime was not that mainstream and there was not a certain gamer named ninja who talked about it on twitter after episode 19 as people who followed anime and played the game know that fate series got damn amazing fights but sadly it was at the time when anime was not this hype. But those series are revered high even today and have fans all over the world because fan base developed gradually and there was no sudden burst of fame which could be another reason why Kny got these many haters. |

| Demographic specifications are doing next to nothing in terms of glazing over the obvious issues a show like this will have. |

rzomunna said: troilus_05s said: Just because it is a shounen doesn't mean I should be satisfied with a decent plot. There are many shounens with excellent plots. And, KnY isn't trash tbh. It is average. ~5/10. And shounen anime aren't just about fights. The word you are looking for is battle shounen and even battle shounens can have really good plots like HxH, Rurouni Kenshin, etc. hmm, I've found that KnY really pulled me in a lot more than most shonen I'm not sure why but I usually get bored quite quickly of the genre but in this case I've been kinda hyped for each episode Then good for you :) If you like it, it is fine. What you like is your choice after all. |

| Yea the story is ''mid'' by shounen standards which equals abhorrent by normal standards. But it's not just the story, there's no interesting or well written characters in this show. Many of them are even actively painful to see on screen, as if they were written to torture the viewers. |
| ufotable weight more on fight scenes this season because they know they're better at animation than literary drama but when the literary drama part comes it still cools ur blood to subzero |

if you like deep philosophy than watch seinen anime Then Anime like Dress up Darling, Kaguya sama, K-on, exists which are seinen. Yeah, these Anime really have deep psychology meaning. |

| i think demon slayers fine i don't know what people are talking about i don't see anything wrong with the show and people who don't like it might just not like it |
| FMA and AoT are both shonen as well. Just because an anime is shonen, it doesn't automatically get a free pass from criticism if it has a mediocre story or characters. Some of the greatest characters and stories in the medium are from shonen publications. |
