Because almost nobody even says that.

Compositing is part of animation.

Is there really that many people ? I only saw like one or two of them, when there is a large band of haters available for that.

The composition always was one of the strongest point of Ufotable tho, alongside their Digital team, and both are all because of Yuuichi Terao. That man is the one hard-carrying every project of Ufotable since Kara no Kyoukai 1 (aka. when it reached greatness).

To most people, the "Animation" really just is the fluidity of the movements themselves.

Haters usually don't attack DS animation because it's not a hill to die on. Besides some desperate cherrypicking, some were actually complaining about fish demons from Swordsman Village, which in fact looked really good, but they somehow thought they finally got something to latch on.

Because a lot of the cool impressive scenes everyone talks about are the result of good compositing.
It's still unfair to say that it doesn't have good animation especially for a TV anime.

A lot of Haters on the story though.
But sincerely an Easy Story = Easy to adapt (that's also why there's a lot of Isekai's)

It is just self-proclaimed “sakuga” accounts that say this usually. And most of the time it is their bias against demon slayer speaking. The animation is well above average and downright a masterpiece in some scenes

Never heard of this. Some may say that but definitely not many. I have seen some people say that it's flashy without choreography, sakuga or composition etc but it comes from people who don't know shit about animation and want to somehow hate on its animation with a miserable attempt.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Tbh, F/SN:Heaven's Feel movie trilogy is still hands down Ufotable's best animation they had made so far. The art style of DS is what makes me feel kinda meh about it.

It’s fair to say that about demon slayer season one. Except for ep 19 the majority of the animation is very stiff pose to pose and most complex movements use cgi. This criticism doesn’t really hold up in later seasons though.

WHO. TF. EVER. SAID. THAT.

And tbh DS probably has one of the best animation in modern anime. Like it's not on the level of the Heaven's Feel movie trilogy, but it's definitely close. I've honestly never seen anyone badmouthing Demon Slayer's animation.

@Piromysl Well in reality it is not as perfect an animation as many believe, for example there are really many moments in season 1 in which the characters are made with bad CGI (but ufotable manages to hide it well if you don't have a trained eye) or the backgrounds which many times are not well integrated and seem taken from Minecraft as annoying as they are to look at, but since season 2 they have really made a notable upgrade

@Naveen6662246 This seems like a load of bullshit to me, Demon slayer doesn't have the greatest animation of all time, there are much better animated shows like the Fate series, then I don't understand this new level you're talking about, since there have always been shows high profile like One Punch man season 1, Attack on Titan, Mob pshyco 100, etc... then I don't even understand the comparison with Hollywood, the huge animation production houses produce products mainly in 3D, Demon slayer has an animation in 2D and in fact I would say that the quality of the images is much superior in Hollywood productions, also there are a lot of shows that match demon slayer: Jujutsu Kaisen, Fire Force, Frieren...

@Leon888 They used CGI models for characters plenty of times. Yes it was more in S1 but they are extremely clever with it. Its usually a distance shot, slow mo, or when the seen has plenty of talking with no motions. This makes it unnoticeable or easily bearable unlike a lot other studios. I think that's actually brilliant.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Well, as pointed out by multiple people, the compositing is actually part of what is animation.

It we talk about the fluidity of the movements instead, with the joints of key and in-between frames, then yeah, that statement is true (albeit categorizing it as "bad" is completely wrong in itself); the compositing, especially with the Digital team is what makes the works of Ufotable so visually stunning (on top of the color designers, for the vibrant red and green, especially). If you want an example, you can look at this short sequence (and if you have a little bit of time, at all of the video, she's really great) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYJ8Jgt8MwI&t=498s
Edit : There is that one too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3R6cf6njz4

It has great compositing but not that good actual frame by frame animation. If you compare ONLY the pure animation to other anime such as well jjk, it falls behind. Both have good visuals though.
