I want to know about why some people say KnY is carried by the animation

Story is meh. And animation is Amazing. so Yeah that's why. you get the point

Animefan13923 said:
story so far isn't anything special but pretty good for a shonen anime

Render_1 said:
the visuals / music are the only good parts imo, to be clear I didn't think I was going to like this show when I started it and I was right, the other parts are fine, just nothing special, but this arc honestly sucks, the show has far too many plot holes or at the least too much plot armour, the "comedy" is extremely unfunny most of the time etc, I have no issue with you liking it, it's just not for me. the fights are ""fine"" but they suffer from the issues every shounen does so it's just hella dull most of the time.

I had seen KnY a year ago and have watched many anime since then and KnY is still a great anime.I want to know why some people say it's carried by the animation.They just ignore it's visuals, fights, development of story and characters, music and it's sad parts?

Animefan13923 said:
I can agree it has plotholes like every other anime and the comedy is unfunny

Well I think KNY is just decent, and we can't just ignore the fact that one of biggest reason KNY went viral is because of its amazing animation.

First off, the story part isn't the best I would say, it's too cliché and well, not so interesting. It's typical Shonen so i wouldn't really say anything.

Secondly, to be completely honest the characters aren't written well. Their personalities are plain, not really unique. This can relate to the character development as well, again its typical Shonen so its really predictable what's going to happen with the plot, development etc. all we're going to see is character is weak in the beginning but he struggle and never gave up and here he is, he is now one of the strongest man.

The comedy part of this show? I don't even wanna talk about it. We can all agree that the comedy part is a$$. I get that the audience target is early teens, but even then its just too lame and most of the time I feel like its just a fill in the time for next insane fight.

To answer your question in one sentence, 'I don't see what's wrong about it, I mean its true'

saying this as a huge kimetsu no yaiba fan - the source material isnt all that special. probably if another studio than ufotable had adapted it, it would probably be much less popular. i enjoy it for what it is, since its my kind of thing, but i would probably agree that the animation does carry it quite a bit

What are the plot holes? It seems to be cohesive, it’s not a complicating story?

Idk how to spoiler tag but obviously major spoilers. okay the first half of season 1 isn't too bad for it only, a bit of plot armour but not too bad. but like from there on out, there's just constantly 0 communication between characters, the hashira attack tanjiro or nezuko etc etc when all they had to do was talk, mugen rensha I feel like lower first could have just continusally put tanjiro into a dream identical to reality, instead of sending him to an obviously fake dream, though maybe there is a reason. in the fight with upper sixth rengoku could have survived he ran what, 10 seconds before being impaled, he didn't kill it anyway and the sun was coming up, guess he didn't know tanjiro had enough plot armour to run and throw his sword in anger. either way it's sitll just average to me at this point. this arc? Holy shit, tanjiro is literally getting stronger from nothing "I stand no chance" *becomes almost as powerful as a hashira*, yet still ranked 6/10? lol okay if the demons or hashira worked together at any point, which ever side did it first would instantly win, since the other never seems to, and there is no way all of the upper demons or all of the hashira vs one of the other would lose, so they could just absolutely wipe them out. it doesn't make sense tanjiro doesn't get killed by the top demon forgot his name, if he is super powerful, which he seems to be and is made out to be, why doesn't he kill tanjiro himself, why doesn't he send stronger demons for him? he clearly seems to have seen the ear rings before and could tell he'd be a sun breather in the future, and is the only person to have recently found him, it should be obvious to kill him while he's week, instead of just let plot armour save him. my biggest issue is with the gaining of abilities with little or no training. literally the only justifiable reason is "I'm the mc" like okay

People likes to hate to populars animes. What is true is that DS has a more simple story, "simple doesn't mean bad".

renz330 said:
This new season of demon slayer is ranked as the 47th best anime of all time. Do you honestly belive anime is so good that it deserves to be 2 ranks from code geass and above the likes of one piece,jojo,death note?

Animefan13923 said:
okay

Render_1 said:
can I ask why u rated FMAB a 6?

Animefan13923 said:
ok....

Animefan13923 said:
Idc about rankings that much and I haven't seen OP yet

renz330 said:
Well yeah ratings are not so important but they steal mean something. When u see an anime rated above 8 you can have some expectatioms and most likely you are going to like it. But demon slayer has a bang average story with one of the best animation ever. It does not bring anything new to the scene and its very identical to all shonen anime. The characters are not thar well written, tanjiro is a basic shonen MC and the show is basically a mix between naruto and bleach idk

I wanted to write something but why do u have this season as ur favourite lol

Animefan13923 said:
again, it does stuffs better than most shonen.It doesn't have useless fillers, the fights aren't dragged out for 5+ episodes, the characters are not that level but still pretty good, I heard Tanjirou in manga is different so let's see for now

Animefan13923 said:


its my baseline for average, I didn't dislike a single thing about it, I just, didn't like anything either, it was the most average show I've seen, in my opinion, I can't remember any critiques I had at the time, and there wasn't really any plot points I'd be like that, that there is the issue, it just didn't really do anything for me. don't get me wrong, I get why people love it, it's just not for me.

I don't think it's that people like to hate popular anime, I don't like most popular anime, but that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge the ones that really stand out, the shows that are popular outside of the anime community, like demon slayer, aot, fmab etc tend to have worse written characters, plot, world building than some lesser known anime, or anime that people more in the community know about, this is by design, most people don't want that, they want mostly well written, maybe emotional anime with pretty nice animation (or if it's demon slayer insane animation), and big build ups and fight scenes, and that's absolutely fine, I'm not saying you are any worse for it, it's just not something for me, that's not what I look for in shows, so I don't think most popular anime are particularly great.

Really? I get Demon Slayer and FMA:B but AOT has worse written characters and plot? Seriously?

Render_1 said:


check my list, I haven't seen AOT, that wasn't so much "this has bad characters" more of "shows like this TEND to have bad characters", just naming anime popular outside of anime of you get me. I'll watch AOT when it's finished, I doubt I'll enjoy it anyway so might aswell be able to binge it.

G1vemeaname said:

Oh OK my bad man. But I think you'll enjoy AOT.
