I enjoy the show but the main trio really make it hard for me to watch sometimes. All 3 personalities can get extremely annoying in my opinion and it’s a frequent criticism I see. Also general predictability and lack of innovation in the story although this isn’t unique to demon slayer and could be said about many Shonen. That said I think it does what it sets out to do fine. Obviously it’s visuals are outstanding which for most people make up for what it lacks in other areas but because of this it won’t suit everyone’s tastes.

it's pretty generic tbh. like it's really good but it definitely has flaws. like there are plenty of other shows which are far superior. Also you've watched barely any anime (neither have I). You need to watch more so you can develop that taste.

Well that's untrue. The first review at least is very good.

Demon Slayer is indeed carried by animation.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, because this show is still self aware.
Yet still a lot of people think that simple story equals a bad show for some reason.

I think very few people are DS haters, most are DS fan haters. First of all, they think it's overrated. DS is a good series but it is not a masterpiece by far, it has shortcomings in its plot and character writing and it is believed to be a masterpiece only because of its amazing animation and "exciting action"(like any shonen), but many fans are sure about it and started comparing it with other series which are much better and even saying that DS is better by calling the others overrated, and that made them earn the hatred of the other fandoms.

yes. A brain to understand people can have different views, tastes and opinions.

Some people just want story to be good and will ignore how ever bad an animation is. DS has a lot of plot armors, Power of (family/friends/some random dude in my dreams) concept, which is very annoying. Tanjiro is in a pinch, he dreams about his dad telling him to breathe, and then he defeats a demon. I really find that frustrating.

A lot of people want well written character, who don't whine a lot and who are not cowards(Zenitsu) , who are not self overestimators(Inosuke) etc. I really dont care for such characters and in my opinion, I think having such character traits makes them more realistic.

A lot other dont appreciate the use of CGI in a 2d anime series. I agree a lot of shows used that and butchered the series, But this is Ufotable we are talking about, and they just made the show 8th wonder of the world.

It's not that people don't like it. It's that they don't find it as good as everyone makes it seem. Like For me it's mid, buh a solid 7 or 8 out if 10. It's only carried by animation buh has a boring plot and MC and character writing. Buh what people hate most about it is it's noob filled fandom who compare it to actual masterpiece shows and even saying those shows are overrated.

It’s not you who’s missing a lot but rather demon slayer that’s missing a lot. In terms of story it just feels shallow, empty and on many occasions dumb. And that’s why many don’t like it. And it’s also why I never really focused too much on the story even when reading the manga. Demon slayer is just that one anime where you turn off your brain and enjoy the battles

There is nothing memorable about it other than the first few parts. That’s just me though. I only ever rate 0 or 10 but if I actually had to, it would be a 3/5 for me.

see i don't come from a place of hate. i don't hate it. the animation is the most beautiful and fights are gorgeous. but are there plotholes ? yeah. are there plot conveniences and very poorly written plot armour ? yes. is there wasted potential? yes. but still it is entertaining and there are some themes i like and it is rated r( so gore and blood can be excessive) it is pretty good. the biggest problem might be the humour

Idk why ppl keep coming up with the strangest "criticism" non-statements for Demon Slayer. I used to believe all that shit like "it was generic", "there are no good characters", but then you come to realise that it is not true, not entirely anyway.

I don't place Demon Slayer in the same race as others. It has all the necessary qualities to be a great and enjoyable battle shounen anyways? What's actually wrong with it?

I don't exactly hate Demon Slayer but I can tell you why you're loving it now,the reason is written in your bio and I have been at the exact same stage since my first action anime was Demon Slayer and I thought it was great. Now after watching more animes I think even with the God tier animation it is 7-7.5/10 at best...the manga's mostly a 5 and last arc is a 6. But you're a 14 yr old so I guess you'll enjoy it for now...still it baffles me how you rated AoT a 4 and DS a 10,I'm pretty sure even at your age this has to some awful taste but I hope you mature overtime. Nevertheless enjoy what you want to. Demon Slayer is NOT BAD,but it is indeed one of the most overrated stuff I've watched

Demon Slayer is just an average battle shounen with tropes done better in other anime. For example, returning a sibling back to normal (FMA), fighting demons (Dororo, Claymore, Inuyasha), sword fights (Bleach, Rurouni Kenshin, Samurai Champloo). And don’t get me started on the main cast.. I don’t think that many people actually think Demon Slayer bad, but praise this series gets is way more than it deserves. Then again it’s all opinion and you should just stick to what you like.

What's there to not understand? Demon Slayer is a show with an extremely predictable storyline, horrible 1 dimensional characters and mediocre world building. There is nothing this show has going for it other than flashy animation. If you like that than well and good, everybody has their own opinions about what is good or bad but don't expect everybody else to agree that this garbage show is amazing.

There are all sorts of people on this planet and all of these people have their own opinions and you just have to live with the fact that there are people with different opinion than you that exist on this planet.

I like Demon slayer for what it is. A good shonen with likable characters and a well-written and mysterious villain. I also like the power system as well.

I think a growing portion of anime fans think it is overrated and it saps away their enjoyment and makes them miserable thus they try to make people feel the same way they feel about the show by throwing words such as "overrated", "mid" or "generic".

Non-statements with literally no evidence to back up -.-

muzan while a rather intimidating villain at first makes a lot of dumb decisions and just comes across as uninteresting (you know it's bad when a post on Muzan being a bad villain has 900+ upvotes on the literal KnY subreddit), the backstories are redundant because they are revealed only once the demons are defeated, which comes across as kinda annoying emotional manipulation, and character cliche and predictable outcomes can speak for themselves.

however the pacing isnt always the snappiest but honestly it's not that bad, motivations are also fine. I liked Demon Slayer more than I hated it, but cmon it isn't that hard to think of evidence to back those claims up

i have watched all DS seasons that are out just because I knew the animation studio (ufotable) that animated the fate series, my favourite anime. I think that the plot of DS is bad, characters are average and animation is PERFECT. anyway, if I had to read the manga, without animations, I wouldn't enjoy it

Cz everyone's gonna be like it's the best anime altho the story is pretty mid... Not much character development of Zenitsu and Inosuke... just one great episode doesn't make it a great anime... the animation is great but that's not the only thing you should judge... there are more animes where the story is badass along with great character development... just cz of animation it's getting all the credit...it just isn't fair...

For as much as people like to go on about people being sheep to watching popular anime, there are a lot of followers when it comes to bandwagoning the hate for shounen series such as these. Most of the people who try to give "objective criticism" for this show don't like shounen anime in the first place. But nevertheless they watch shows like these because they're popular and it's easier for them to project their tastes compared to something less well known.

actually I don't think it's bad
I just don't like it right the animation is great but I don't like the drawing
and I think demon slayer don't have a plot and the characters are not that great they are just copy old characters
and The thing I care about most about anime are the plot and drawing & animation and characters
and you know that anime is popular because of those
and like I said that on my opinion demon slayer don't have a good drawing and great characters and more important that doesn't have the plot
