Zenitsu constant yelling is annoying

FuriousNutSlaps said:
He'll be like this, till the end of the serie. You should get used to him and his yelling.

I didn't find him annoying at all, but he's not near my favorite character in the serie, since i've read the manga i've discovered some good shit in there.

I won't get used to it, forced comedy is always a bad thing. I would still watch the anime and read the manga once the anime is over but I can't force myself to like crap comedy.

Is like having Kakashi yelling and acting stupid in 90% of his screen time, good thing he's not like that, at least the comedy of Kakashi is more subtle and more pleasing to audiences like me, this Zenitsu guy is just plain annoying.

I can't help you and no one can either. The author has choose this kind of comedy and many people like it as many hate it. While it comes to preference and since it's completely subjective, you should ignore him but you really can't that much since he does appear a lot. You should be more concerned on the upcomming deaths that are gonna upfold in the serie, tho.

xZabuzax said:


It's a shame that the author went with the forced comedy route to make people laugh and is also a shame to find out how that character won't change either... *sigh*

I thank you for keeping the conversation civilized. I'm looking forward to the upcoming deaths, this anime had a pretty good start with the "serious" approach it had in the beginning but since the introduction of Zenitsu and the constant yelling and the forced comedy this anime started to go downhill for me, it went from a 10/10 to a 8/10.

I will still praise the amazing animation in the fight scenes and episode 19 was top notch, best episode so far.

I didnt find him annoying in the manga, but honestly i'm not a fan of his yelling/screaming in the anime.

But still he's one of my favorites though. Rengoku=akaza=tanjirou=zenitsu=douma >>>>> any other characters of this series Imo.

FuriousNutSlaps said:
You like douma? Christ, i never though this day would came, never thought i'd witnessed to see someone liking him.

Jfs_ said:
lol yes i liked him a lot, Especially his character design. My only complaint about him is The way he fight, he just trolling around and never take his opponent seriously, unlike UM1 and akaza.

he didn't yell one time in like 100 chapters

Ahri-is-cute said:
Ok then drop the anime

xZabuzax said:


If you have nothing better to add to the conversation then don't write anything. Telling someone to drop the anime because of some lame forced comedy is stupid. I like the anime but not that forced comedy.

Ahri-is-cute said:
Okay them , not going to disagree , forced comedy is surely a bad thing , but that's how the show is , it's very overrated in the first place

> this is probably the best anime of the year along with Attack on Titan S03 (Part 2)

Here is a thing , an anime with something like forced stupid comedy can never be the anime of the year , Hell it's not even in the Top 10 animes of the year
The others tried to help you to deal with it , but you can't , what else can be done other than dropping it when it's has a huge influence on you ?
Not gonna lie , it was salty from me to say Drop it , it was because I didn't read most of the thread , only read the comments and noticed how you can't deal with this forced comedy
But that's how it is , how are they supposed to fill episodes to make the story longer without putting something stupid ? the Anime is pretty good , but you are expecting too much
If you can't really drop it , the only 2 solutions that can be made for you are to try to deal with it somehoe or accept it
And again , I apologise for making it sound salty or meanie , didn't really mean to

xZabuzax said:


That was much better, thank you for taking your time to put more effort in what you wrote.

I said this is probably the best anime of the year because it has amazing visuals and fighting scenes, Attack on Titan is another anime that also has amazing visuals and fighting scenes and both have delivered beautifully in those aspects. The only thing this anime is failing IMHO is in that forced comedy, it needed to be more subtle and less forced. Even with the forced comedy I still consider this anime to be one of the best in this year along with Attack on Titan, of course, this is pretty much subjective and is only my opinion, other's might disagree with it.

I'm definitely expecting a lot from this anime because I can see that it has a lot of potential, you can still add funny moments in animes without those funny moments feeling "forced" like it's happening here. Zenitsu being a comic relief character was already too much here and now they added another one (the dude with the boar mask) and this is not a good thing for me, this went from a "serious" anime to a "comedy" anime real quick. I wanted this anime to be "serious" and still have its funny moments but not to this extent, the comedy in this anime is already overkill with those 2 characters but at least I find that boar mask guy more passable but he's still a bit annoying sometimes. Even with all that I still like this anime, I just wanted less forced comedy here.

Damn people need to stop acting like an anime with great production value is a great anime. There’s other factors and this show fails at them (story, characters, the shit comedy to name a few).

IKKIsama said:

If they think his yelling is thread-worthy, they should definitely drop the anime.

nanashi796 said:
zenitsu is a main character not a comic relief character same for inosuke,the yelling is characterization not comedy

xZabuzax said:


You can be a main character and also serve as a comic relief character, there's plenty of other animes that does this and they do it better.

That yelling is definitely comedy and a really bad one. Yelling 24/7 doesn't make for good comedy.

nanashi796 said:
yelling is part of his character,and honestly the only annoying things that i see here is the forced complain not the supposed forced comedy of zenitsu.

xZabuzax said:


I know that yelling is part of his character and it's a bad attempt at comedy. If you think that people complaining about the bad comedy is annoying then I will play the same game and say that people defending this forced bad comedy is also annoying.

Let's not go that route man, let's try to keep this civilized.

nanashi796 said:
you know that normal people yell when are scared yes?and it's not fucking comedy him yelling when he's scared.

xZabuzax said:


Ughh, he doesn't only yell when he's scared, he also yells when he acts normal. Hell, he was also yelling when he wanted to marry that random girl as well.

nanashi796 said:
i said that in the previous comment.

xZabuzax said:


Ughh... ok?

Yelling to a random girl to marry you means that the person doing the yelling has issues, he's obviously not normal.

nanashi796 said:
he just wants to fuck a girl before he die since he believes he dies soon because of his low self esteem.

xZabuzax said:


Yeah I get that but yelling is not the way to do it. You said that Zenitzu acts normal and I just pointed out that he's not acting normal because he yells all the time even when acting normal. This only means one thing, he's being a comedy relief character.

There's plenty of way to add comedy in an anime that doesn't require a character to yell 24/7, if the only way the author can deliver the comedy is through yelling then that means he's not that good with comedy, he's still good in the other aspects but comedy is definitely not one of it.

I bet the manga is not annoying in the comedy aspect as much as the anime so the anime is the one failing in this department. I understand that this can work better in the manga but it's not working in the anime.

nanashi796 said:
he don't yell 24/7 and i find him funny when he gets angry at others,so for me isn't forced.

xZabuzax said:


That's just a metaphor, obviously he doesn't yell 24/7 but he yells the majority of the time he's on screen and that doesn't make for good comedy. If you think that makes for good comedy then good for you but there are plenty of people like me that doesn't find that yelling crap funny at all.

A good comedy needs to be delivered with subtlety, not the constant yelling. If this anime had less yelling and forced comedy then people like you would still love this anime and people like me would have rated this a 10/10, the only reason this anime lost points on me is because of that forced comedy crap and I'm not the only one complaining about it as you already saw in this thread.

nanashi796 said:
i prefer this comedy to the shit comedy of gintama that everyone praise,simple and fun comedy.

Just because it's something you'd do, doesn't mean it's something others would do. All the character's in this series are unique. Why take that away. I agree, Zenitsu isn't normal but neither are all the other characters. There's bound to be quirks in the line of business Demon Slayers are in. The latest episode drives that home extremely well. Zenitsu is still a newcomer, so there's room for character development. Regardless, it's his character to be annoying. Sadly, other characters also fill that role. It doesn't need to be for the sake of comedy. All the characters he interacts with find him equally annoying. As spectators, we don't really have to find it funny if that's not how we'd see it in reality.

When you think about it, he doesn't really need to use his head much if the only move he uses is an instant kill. It's also extremely convenient that all he needs is his good hearing to pinpoint his opponent when he's unconscious. If you're familiar with "gap" characters, then find the common sense to see him as one. No one really acts like themselves when overcome with emotion. In Zenitsu's case, he fears an early death because of his line of work. If he actually had a woman to protect or a different job altogether, I'm sure we'd all see him in a different light. Of course, Zenitsu isn't going to get much character development as long as he's always sleeping or picking up girls on the job. However, despite all his complaining, he hasn't quit yet. Give him at least some credit.

I totally get that man but this anime doesn't know how to draw the line between acceptable and excessive. I have no problem if a character is trying to be funny a couple of times but in this anime they are being excessive with it with Zenitsu yelling, complaining and trying to be funny (which is not) in like 90% of his screen time since his introduction. This anime only have 26 episodes, they need to throw away all that wasted time that is spent in those forced comedy and make something worth it out of it.

Since their introduction most of the time is being spent in the forced comedy and the story barely progresses at all and to make matters worse, when the story is finally progressing Zenitsu is still yelling, complaining and trying to be funny. I don't mind comedy relief character if they are actually funny but people like me find him annoying, yelling doesn't make for good comedy, it never did. I don't understand how people find those moments funny. That's one of the reasons why I disliked Re:Zero, that Subaru guy is plain annoying with the constant yelling, he wasn't funny at all.

The funny thing is that I find the comedy in Naruto much better than Re:Zero and Kimetsu no Yaiba and Naruto is a long-ass anime with plenty of episodes and even then, the first 20 episodes of Naruto is actually funnier than anything those 2 animes provided so far. In Naruto they draw the line between the funny moments and the serious moments and even Naruto is not constantly yelling all the time in his screen time unlike Zenitsu.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Naruto is a great anime, it isn't. It's a sub-par anime with a couple of really good episodes, the rest of the episodes are mediocre though and I won't even mention the filler episodes, those are trash but at least the funny moments are much better there.

xZabuzax said:


Ughh, no. That's dumb. Comments like yours are cringe worthy man.

IKKIsama said:
Whatever man. I hate his yelling as much as the next viewer but you don't see me make a meal of it.
