Whenever I think about demon slayer a word comes on the surface called "generic shonen",most people think of demon slayer as a genreic shounen means same shounen troops that where used in other shounen anime like plot armour, protagonist aim to be stronger,and always win in the end.but when I think about it deeply I realised that what about people's who not have much experience watching shounen anime,then this is not going to generic for them, because it can be happed that this might be their first anime and when you think about it then it's certainly became great show for them like great animation, bearable story,some likable characters, protagonist feels more human so easy to relate,and those who are annoying they are atleast powerful (zentsu I am taking about you) .

I agree with you, it may be generic to some people but not to others. And I think it’s much more enjoyable to those new viewers since they have the full experience without a thinking “wow this is so basic” instead they just enjoy it.

I think another large factor is if the Amazing animation and great fights can make up for the lack of story and character.

While DS is undeniably a generic anime, that does bot mean it’s bad, cuz it just isn’t. DS does what it needs to do really well regardless of people loving to hate on it. The manga had great development, story and character wise, a very questionable ending, but an ending shouldn’t be the main focus of a series, I feel like the journey is much more important than the conclusion, and the journey of DS wasn’t anything new or unique, but regardless it was very enjoyable.

Ok I've seen few of shounen ( except one piece) and now currently watching hxh . I don't actually get the hype around the show . Ofc yorknew arc was good but rest are all very slow paced and kind off boring sometimes ( chimera ant arc starting , greed island and exam arc ) many define the show as modern masterpiece . Why so much hype?

When rating something you compare it to other media you have seen. A show can be seen as generic only in comparison to other shows. If you show demon slayer to someone who has no experience in anime or movies then they won't find it generic, but if they continue to experience that media, as in, watching more anime/movies, there's a possibility that they might find that show not as good as the first time they watched it when they come back and watch it a second time after watching more shows.

I liked Kimetsu no Yaiba, but clichés are clichés regardless of experience.

Like that irrelevant, unrelated to the plot loud sound jumpscare in horror movies. It might be your first horror movie, but it's still a overused, annoying, lame way to keep the audience on edge.

The moment KnY used THAT ONE retarded overused shounen asspull, it completely lost me.

Then you get one of the most annoying anime sidekicks ever (he's the same in the movie, at this point I'm losing all hope for the mangaka to fix him) on top of that.

Well that sucks.
Here's hoping the director fixes him, tho. After all, I'm pretty sure most of my issues with him are because of the anime. Hell, maybe manga Zenitsu is likeable.

I mean he's likable when fighting but not when screaming and if you think about likable then he is very much likable and important character in manga just wait and watch there are more zenitsu moments are coming believe me

It's pretty good, but i wouldn't say it's one of the best anime out there. At least compered to a lot of other shonen. I enjoyed tge fights, the charecters, and nezuko is kinda kawaii ;)

This show isn't ground breaking, earth shattering or anything like that, it's just a decent story with decent characters. Another great thing the mangaka did was end it when it was over instead of dragging it. So it's pretty decent and Ufotable's animation gave it a boost. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less

I have not seen many shonen but I can still see it's a pretty formulaic shonen action because shonen action series follow roughly the same story beats as a lot of Western heroic stories. if you have any familiarity with story tropes, Demon Slayer is trope city. Nezuko is the most interesting thing, and she's asleep or in the box for large stretches of the story, and aside from a few beats she's not THAT important until the Rui fight/Hashira meeting.

it sure looks amazing though, and that's enough to get it a pretty positive score. the fights are nothing special but they look pretty and the music's great, and the voice acting's really solid. I chose sub over dub after listening to a little of both because Tanjiro's Japanese actor is so much more appropriate than the dub actor.

but story and writing are its biggest weaknesses.

I've watched shounen anime ever since I was a kid. And while Demon Slayer does have some tropes and themes that are pretty similar to most other shounen anime, I think it has some interesting aspects. I don't think it's a matter of experience moreso than it is personal taste. Because even the most ardent haters of shounen anime tend to like a few shounen as well that are not too different in tropes and themes as other shounen anime (ex: HxH, MHA, AOT, etc.). But they always come up with some explanation with how they're supposedly different from "generic shounen." All similarities lie in the framework.

I hate when people start shitting on something and say it is “generic”
IMHO I don’t see every generic to be bad , some generic and much used stories can be done in a way that makes them more creative and worth .
Writing quality differ even the man Idea is same ,
While people would say this particular anime is a generic,I would look into how well written the characters are and how the well written the world is , what is the quality that this particular show puts into it’s genres.

Yeah most shonen have the same standards ( a villain - let’s win ) , If this particular rule is done well , then you will get a true masterpiece

It's not about an anime experience in terms of quantity. It's about a quality and focus on diversity in terms of genres and eras of anime. If someone obsessed with typical heroic teenage anime then Demon Slayer will be great for such person just like its total equivalents like Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia or Chainsaw-man (didn't even read a manga but already know how bad it will be due worthless overhype).

Generic Shounen doesn't mean it's bad or how much anime you have watched but a lot of times people miss things when they are shown the perfect execution of a manga which is KNY as hands down KNY got the best treatment as any manga can get, but since people are busy watching it's amazing animation and music very few tend to catch on it's story and it's character and to an extent it is just mediocre and that doesn't make KNY bad show but it fails to deliver the impact as everyone say it has, like saying show got no plot armour or plot holes and it's the best piece of story written but it's not the case. As manga legit failed to expand upon characters and there are lot of question unanswered or left out.

And thing is most shounens are generic but it doesn't make them bad but sadly they are just overrated.
Someone who is watching anime just for the fights and music will love KNY and same way JJK.

If show is entertaining then good rate it well but then most of the times shonen anime are entertaining does that mean they are all good, SAO is also very entertaining but it's braindead, we can praise it but surely won't say it's a masterpiece but if you want to do it then all power to you.

People compare shows when they are watching too many of these and when shows strike similarity it's generic for them, like the recent example of south korean drama squid games as it's a good show and anyone who never watched something like that will love it but for anyone who watched As the Gods Will, Kaiji, Alice in Borderland will say it's generic show and overrated. Doesn't mean it's bad but it doesn't have any uniqueness to it.
