Epicgamerxd said: If kny is gonna be the best anime of the year it first has to be the best demon-slaying anime of the year (dororo>>>>) For me dororo does an infinitely better job making me care about characters and events, and its color pallette and art style and animation really make it feel rooted in the time period, while knys art style and color pallette imo look atrociously gaudy for the general vibe of the time period--i could see it working for a more comedic show, but frankly when kny dabbles in comedy i want to shoot myself bc how forced and unfunny it is Same sentiments. The awful comedy makes the show unimmersive. Just like what I felt towards YLIA. The characters have great designs but they're godawful. |
| Nope, but I can pretty much guarantee that the second and third will be in the top 10 of all time based on the manga because it is honestly the best battle shounen I’ve ever read. I honestly thought it was a bit bland but it will get much much better. The part at which the anime is at is probably the least well written part of the story but it gets its shit together and at that point it will deserve a higher rating. But for now I think yakusoku no neverland is the best of 2019 in my opinion. |

Well, honestly speaking, nope. Among the existing and upcoming shows in the year, I doubt it would be able to compete with them. |

My friends and i were reading it before the anime came out so your statement just isn’t true. So far, it’s the most enjoyable shounen I’ve read personally so I probably didn’t phrase it properly. I don’t read a lot of shounen so you shouldn’t really take my word for it but it’s a great manga regardless. |
Daniel_Naumov said: Thanjh said: It doesn’t have those things but that’s what people like about it to some degree. They like it just because it doesn’t have anything profound but executed the basics well. Plus top-tier production. Overall I’d give it a 7/10, it’s gotten better since ep 19, though I’m still waiting to see if Zenitsu comes back and the show gets mediocre again. This is a rather honest and decent answer that I can not really get ballistic about. I will leave y'all to enjoy this... series.

I don’t read a lot of shounen so you shouldn’t really take my word for it but it’s a great manga regardless. That is really no excuse. Something popular Japan-wide would not be left almost completely unnoticed worldwide. Just admit it got popular too quickly because animation is good. That is what the mass craves this age. It ran in the most popular and competitive manga magazine for over 3 years and often received colour spreads and covers. So you can't deny it was popular in japan because it was. I don’t know about it’s western popularity back then but people I knew did read it, too. I definitely agree that the animation played a big part in boosting its popularity. As I said before, its story at the point at which the anime is at is -in comparison to the rest of the story- pretty bad. At this point I don’t believe it’s the best anime of the year but whenever the next season comes out it will definitely be deserving off all the popularity and praise it receives. |
| yessu. i think ufotable made a great job! ins't boring to me and i just want to watch more and more. |

Anyone who says otherwise has bad taste. Episode 19 is the best episode in anime history. All other anime this year have either been disappointing or mediocre. On a serious note in addition to the final minutes of the episode, the build up to the fight and the struggles of the character we're greatly executed. But if I'm being completely honest it's not close for me it being the best episode of all time. That's reserver for other animes like the ones in my favorites. And as of demon slayer itself it's a good and very entertaining show, ill leave it at that and wait to see what else it has to offer. |

| no Not even in top 5 To me it felt like some badly writen show on drugs imo |
 |
| It won't win the AOTY award but maybe it will win the best animation award (if there is one). |

Explain yourself, please. I’m interested |
AlphaOmegaKnight said: no Not even in top 5 To me it felt like some badly writen show on drugs imo Says the guy who watched 1 episode only(according to your list) If you really have watched only the first episode, then your opinion counts absolutely nothing. |
|
State you top 5 then! |
 |
| Kimetsu no Yaiba may be the AOTS for Summer, but not AOTY as animes like Attack on Titan S3P2, Mob Psycho 100 2 and The Promised Neverland are also well done. |
 |
| No. I liked this anime's first 10-12 episodes but after that it just got worse and worse for me. With the introduction of those 2 abominable side characters (Zenitsu and Inosuke) the show just got more and more melodramatic. I appreciated this show for approaching the battle shonen genre differently but now it's just become more and more typical. I dropped my score down from a 6 to a 4 after episode 19. The amount of plot convenience/armor and deus ex machina was too ridiculous. And after seeing episode 22, it seems the mangaka is now embracing melodramatic characters. I haven't watched all too many anime this year, but if people really consider this AOTY material then that's a shame. Personally, the AOTY contender to me so far are Mob Psycho II, Snk S3 part 2, TPN, and potentially, Vinland Saga. But KnY? I wouldn't put this in a top anything list, maybe disappointments. |
| prepare for that 9.00+ of the next season and for 9.20+ of the 3rd season,this season score is too damn high,8.75 is ridiculous. this should be 8.20 for mal standards,8.75 is good for the second season. |

-Aincrad- said: next season is at another level and 3rd season will be even better than the second,it's one of the few shounen that gets better as time progresses,and yes this season it's pretty much a prologue and introduction of the characters.nanashi796 said: prepare for that 9.00+ of the next season and for 9.20+ of the 3rd season,this season score is too damn high,8.75 is ridiculous. this should be 8.20 for mal standards,8.75 is good for the second season.

| No its not. Animation A++ Story is solid but average and straight forward Dialogue is fucking garbage, the Author has no idea how to write decent dialogue and its the same over and over Characterization is hard to rate overall, because on one side you have excellently written Backstories and Characterization for a large amount of Characters which really adds value, and on the other side a lot of Characters are just fucking obnoxious and annoying, while they might even be still Characterized well, which you could say kind of ties into annoying dialogue. This is a huge minus of this Show. The pace is kinda meh in the mid Episodes. The directing is on fucking point, Sound and Visual directing are fantastic, especially in the battles.. and especially ep19. Overall pretty good i guess, but definitely not remotely the best of 2019, i wouldn't put it in the top 5 even lol. |
You son of a .. turtle  |
| After Attack on Titan, yes. |
 |
| I thought Attack on titan was given that title? Kimetsu is good show,I give it a solid 8 but not sure if its the best anime of this year. |

-Aincrad- said: I am half agreeing and half disagreeing with you.You are very wrong. Before episode 19, the anime had 8.51. What is more, it wasn't even below 8.5 at all, not even once. The only time it had 8.3 score was because of a glitch, which was fixed in an hour. You are right that the show had 8.51 rating before ep.19. So, it was already solid 8.5 whereas the show rating did went below 8.5 not just only(if any) because of glitch. For example (little old but will give u an idea): Here is the progress of KNY anime through each episodes according to what I gathered my information about it and wrote it sometime ago. Serial No. --------------- 5 out of 5 Ep.1 ----------------------65.63% Ep.2 ----------------------69.45% Ep.3 ----------------------69.74% Ep.4 ----------------------86.72% Ep.5 ----------------------74.36% Ep.6 ----------------------75.61% Ep.7 ----------------------84.25% Ep.8 ----------------------79.52% Ep.9 ----------------------72.41% Ep.10 ---------------------72.31% Ep.11 ---------------------50.18% Ep.12 ---------------------70.27% Ep.13 ---------------------66.32% Ep.14 ---------------------66.18% Ep.15 ---------------------65.05% Ep.16 ---------------------82.40% Ep.17 ---------------------83.51% Ep.18 ---------------------83.15% Ep.19 ---------------------97.09% Average ------------------74.43% Actually the rating of KNY was increasing slowly from sometime even before episode 19 came out but a sudden increase from 8.51 to above come is due to ep.19. By what I mean "that it was increasing before" is that ep.16, ep.17 and ep.18 all three were well received whereas there are episodes which lead to decrease it's rating. After ep. 19 none of the episodes able to hit or cross 80% which shows that sure the show was 8.51 before ep.19 but after ep.19 aired it mostly alone is taking the score to higher positions. |

| My hero academia will end up being "the best" because of reasons... |
-Aincrad- said: I was replying to the answer u said that it never went down 8.5 outside(only with glitch) because it did went down even without glitch but come back again to 8.5 due to its solid episodes(not because of ep.19). For mob psycho 100, I would say that it had about 3 episodes in 90's for 5/5 whereas Aot has even more. I don't know about given but there is a 5th season of a long name anime which also have high rated episodes. The only difference is that KNY surpassed each episode of AOT, mob psycho 100 and 5th long name anime season who have their episode/episodes in 90's %age, "with its episode 19 by having above 96% 5/5" as no one have that high %age for one episode but for multiple 90's% episodes AOT and others surpass KNY.puneetsingh said: Actually the rating of KNY was increasing slowly from sometime even before episode 19 came out but a sudden increase from 8.51 to above come is due to ep.19.

| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
| 8.8 ?? The score is too high I like this show, but it is not even close to being best anime this year or even this season. Vinland Saga is way better. Yakusoku no Neverland, Dororo, Attacck on titan, Jojo part 5 are also better People started to overrated this anime after episode 19. The score jumped from 8.5 to 8.8 |
