Kimetsu no Yaiba is very good. All those people saying it's mediocre, average or overrated while only giving the argument that it's liked only for the animation obviously have little experience with anime as a whole.

KnY doesn't have amazing animation. JJK actually has amazing animation, but no one is talking about it.

Yes, KnY might be generic, but the same can be said to the majority of the shounen you have in your favourite as well. Generic doesn't make something bad. It's the execution and the combination with other department such as the characters and worldbuilding that makes a "generic" story enjoyable and good.

However, if you can't see ahead the """"subpar"""" animation, then you're doomed to never understand what makes KnY a good series.



bruh that animation was literally the best i’ve seen on par w jjk if not better

It has a couple good characters like Akaza, Rengoku and some of the Hashira but other than that its pretty average. Not that average is a bad thing. And theres nothing wrong with enjoying stuff like that. But objectively speaking, if not for the anime adaptation and Ufotable doing what it does best, the series would be nowhere near its current popularity

Nah it’s not anything special, entertaining but it’s just pretty average and has bland/annoying characters mainly for comedic relief and it’s just very generic. Nothing wrong with liking it though

I think it is good but not that great. It's plot is light and kind of easy to understand. Thats why it is so popular. And the animation (and the music) is amazing, which make it more popular. So overall it is good. I really enjoy it. But not that amazing (at least for me). The plot is not that deep and complicated. But I guess it is good. Since easy to understand plot tend to penetrate more market. But something about the show give a mainstream vibe. If you have watched many show u will realize that some show is not that "unique" and that kind of show can't really impress you.

I watched it after it just finished airing and I thought it was good and had a fun time watching it but I also thought it was really overhyped, especially the episode 19 scene
yes it is overhyped just because of its animations... But ngl the story was decent and the plots were not bad but yeah it is overhyped to be in #1 for a week

I went into it with high expectations because of the hype and ended up dropping it on the 3rd episode thinking it's total trash. Then in one of my bored moments, when I didn't know what to watch, I decided to pick it back up. This time I went into it with a ton of negative bias, but I thought I will at least stuck with it till the other characters come in, maybe one of them will be more interesting than Tanjirou, Mr. Generic Shounen Protagonist. I struggled through the first half, it started getting a bit more interesting around ep 8 maybe. I think Zenitsu and Inosuke made the show a bit more enjoyable and even though the comedy was definitely very childish, I found a couple jokes funny. The spider family arc (I bet that's not the name, but you get it) was pretty decent, I enjoyed it (mostly).

Besides the cheesy dialogues, basic characters and generic plot, the power system also frustrates me and Tanjirou pulling a new technique in the middle of the fight out of his ass was just so typical shounen bs that I can't even...
Also Nezuko, the only main female character is actually a plot device and not a character.

Overall I gave it a 6/10 because I did enjoy some of it, otherwise it probably deserves a 5, but I would understand anyone giving it a lower score too. But I also understand why people would like it, tho calling it a masterpiece seems a bit...questionable.

Really so far it's nothing out of the ordinary. From what I've heard, I expect it to get darker later and I hope there is a reason why the manga is so insanely popular in Japan.

(Btw I have not watched the movie yet.)

While I’m still a weeblet, I think I’ve watched a decent amount of shows, more than most people have, anyway- Demon Slayer has been a good show. The balance of having great music, absolutely beautiful animation and comedy throughout was nice to see. Though I wouldn’t call it amazing, I’d still say it’s a great show, and well worth the watch.
I agree with you on everything except comedy for me it was pretty decent show but in matters of comedy it was trash and zenitsu really annoyed me remind me which of the parts do you think were funny
I couldn’t tell moments I found funny off the top of my head, and Zenitsu isn’t a very comedic character to me- I’d say it’s just general character interactions and things :)

It's not a bad anime by any means but it is certainly not a masterpiece. It's said a lot but Demon Slayer truly is a pretty standard shonen with a less than average ending. While I enjoyed it I feel like people tend to overlook some of the justified criticism of the series and claim it as a masterpiece due to the quality in animation

I personally do c: of course, it depends on your style and genre preferences! if you dont like action or fantasy, you may not like this show even if you recognize the positive qualities of it! But, for me, I love slice of life anime, but Demon Slayer is still amazing to me! The mix of traditional Japanese art and modern anime art is really beautiful, the characters are well-written and sympathetic, and the overall plot and storyline is really interesting to me!

I won't say it's amazing, but it is a pretty solid show. It was one of my first maybe 10 or 20 series. Although the entirety of the show seems tropey and generic, the animation and premise of the story is enough to make it worth the watch. Egocentric or narcissistic elitists might say that generic equals trash, but that's not always the case. There's always a certain extent of uniqueness to every show which could make it decent.

Yeah, that's why I said they don't understand them.

Thb, I meant the demons rather than the demon slayers. The demon slayers were okay. We didn't get any good backstory about Zenitsu or Inosuke but they were decent too.
On the other hand, the demons were really good. When you usually watch a shounen so many times the "bad" guys are just bad for no reason. For example, in DBZ's Freeza or even in JJK the reason is "that's how curses are work". (Yea, we got an explanation why they became real but that's different from why they act like that.)
In KnY most of the demons represent some real life issues like obsession with work, family problems etc. (Just for clarification, I'm talking about the anime adaptation, not the manga).

Dude you can’t just say I dislike everything because I didn’t understand it. I understood the scene, I understood the characters, I just found them bad. It’s just a shounen anime there isn’t much you can really misunderstand and it’s not that deep.

As someone who watched a fair amount of shows, I think as a shounen it is pretty solid, and I enjoyed while watching it, even I waited for every week to get a new episode. As a point, it is somewhere around higher 7 and lower 8 for me, but definitely not in my top 5.

Frieza is a spoiled individual, being part of the most powerful family of the universe, and born as a prodigy with an extremely overwhelming power, with all that context is clear why the dude ended up as asshole as he is. You dont need a sob backstory for that

And the curses in JJK are literally made out all of humans negative energy, so no wonder they act the way they do.

This anime was pretty damn good but once Zenitsu appeared it got pretty fucking mediocre. The only saving grace of this anime is the awesome animation and fight choreography, I give the anime a 6/10 or 7/10 at best.

Without Zenitsu or without his constant screaming bullshitery I would have given this anime a 9/10.

As of now with roughly 38% of people who voted, agreeing with me that demon slayer is average/bad, I am shocked that the rating overall for the anime is still so high. I would assume there is a correlation between the overall rating and amount of people that voted they think this anime is good or bad in this forum post, but maybe the more casual anime watchers who don’t explore the forums are the ones who gave the anime a high rating.

It’s not about “who woke up on the wrong side of the bed” it’s about opinions, values and subjective viewpoints. There is no right or wrong opinion to believe the anime is good or bad. Regarding character deaths, in my opinion I found it difficult to care at all whenever a demon died in an emotional/deep way, or when Tanjiro’s family died. This is because the characters were never fleshed out and we were never given time to form an emotional attachment to a character before they died. How can I feel sorrow when a demon dies in a dramatic way when I only met them that very episode, where the demon has a rush of backstory before finally dying? That’s personally how I see it.

Nope, what I'm saying is "you don't know what to like or dislike, because you don't understand it, so you choose to dislike it without understanding" which is a correct statement.

But, back to the main topic. You're wrong again. Even the shounen animes became deeper, because without depth it would be the same anime with different settings. That's why I mentioned DBZ.

Almost the same story is true for Vegeta, but he became good while Freeza stay bad. So Freeza is bad, because he's bad.
