He has a point. Everything has its limit. Because the series already ended over a year, Ufotable needs to wrap the animation fast before the public loses interests in the franchise. Currently, Ufotable Cafes and Webshop are selling Halloween theme of Kimetsu's characters. This is the main source of income for the company.

Great for Kny and ufotable.
I hope that ufotable can now spend more time and money on many different series after Kny.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Note that ufotable won’t get all of that amount since there are fees they need to pay like distribution fee for Aniplex, production fee for Shueisha and several others. But the one that benefit the most will be ufotable in the end.

There are anime for story, and anime for action. I dislike shonen story, but a good shonen show has really good action which can be enjoyed. This way, I always come out winning.

Besides, good story with bad animation in an animated medium makes a show mediocre, since half of the appeal of a show is on the animation side of things

U should watch Sonny boy then. And Vinland saga is watered seinen, at least the first season. Weird that you don't mention the likes of paranoia agent, tenshi no tamago, or sonny boy as I said before if you're so cultured.

Boruto is the way it is because the manga’s monthly while the anime’s weekly. KnY is probably gonna have like 3-4 seasons bc the manga’s already finished, but yea there’s a chance we’re getting a lot of side series and stuff

Japanese fans already suggested Japanese live cast for the series last year:
https://youtu.be/JDI1WR5VwnQ

Surprisingly, for the English version, I saw some people even suggested John Boyega (Star Wars) as Tanjiro, John Cena as Gyomei, lol. Hollywood is infamous for making bad live action movies for anime. Hence, I hope they will not touch the series. Dragonball Evolution and Ghost in the Shell are typical examples.

Thankfully story doesn't work outside Taisho Japan so they will never make hollywood movie out of it.

the whole anime industry should realize that great animation or visuals should be their top priority if they want big profit

Kyoto Animation usually have average story but all great visuals or animation and look how profitable that studio is for decades, then One Punch Man season 1 confirmed that too and now Demon Slayer too

Characters are good , but only some of them like Inouske, rengoku, tengen or giyuu
And man , story is quite generic and flawed and ending is the worst ending after Tokyo ghoul re
Very much rushed and all the plot armour which series avoid come together at last

But animation and soundtracks are masterclass

here the impact of episode 19 of Demon Slayer https://twitter.com/Josu_ke/status/1442892253081473025

First thing to notice is that the Kimetsu big explotion started after the anime ended.

And most interesting, Tokyo Revengers and Jujutsu Kaisen have had a similar increase but at different speeds. One right at the start of the anime and the other later on the show airing

What’s really funny is how that chart you sent me shows the exact opposite. There was 0 difference in its slope after episode 19. If it was purely because of the great animation of episode 19 (which by the way, wasn’t just greatly animated, but also amazingly written) that the manga sales were boosted, they would’ve been boosted the week immediately after. But no, the manga sales exploded after the release of the next volume, because people wanted to continue the amazing STORY. And you’re saying a bunch of shit that is neither factually proven, nor can you substantiate.

See at last
Story with only great animation and soundtracks have huge popularity but not the Praise and even polarized fanbase

But story with nice story and plotting Even having low popularity has that praise
Because you can't pick any major flaw in them

Biggest examples are monster,fmab, death note, gintama and many more
Ds even getting your name type animation can't touch the greatness of these Animes

Not telling ds is bad, don't kill me
But after reading manga , man uts solid 6/10

Yeah no, it’s not unrealistic. The manga sales instantaneously boosted again the week after the re-airing of Season 1 & the Mugen Train movie. They didn’t wait 2 months and then coincidentally spike as a new volume released. The data simply just doesn’t show what you’re trying to prove. Even if the manga sales spiked after Ep 19, that still doesn’t prove that it was purely because of animation. That’s not even something that can be possibly proven. You’re just making unsubstantiated claims.

more like interpreting the data and how historically great animation and visuals boosted the popularity of an anime and i already provided even a whole studio dedicated to that observation

if you think Demon Slayer have great story then ok that is just you and not the general population since we know mainstream shows have generic stories most of the time it all comes down to execution like better visuals or animation at this one

I know what you guys are trying to say but according to your logic anime's like tales of zestria and God eater would have been the most popular anime along with fate and kny, but no TOZ and God eater are rated pretty low and arent that popular because even though they have stunning visuals, they lack in the plot and story.
Now the plot and characters of Kny might be weak to you, but I guess majority of us liked it and thats why it got so popular.

quality? The only quality about demon slayer is true animation. The ENTIRE first episode of the mugen train anime arc was anime canon or filler. It was absolute textbook generic shonen, and you could very easily tell. Rengoku was one of the most boring anime characters I’ve ever seen in this episode. “Evil bad. I will stop evil and protect everyone at all costs” don’t know how you can get more generic than that.

dude i enjoyed Demon Slayer to give a high rating both anime and manga but im not a blind fanboy that will say it has a groundbreaking or even an original story, i agree that the characters of this show are great but im talking about how generic the story is the story is just executed better with how great the animation and how fast pace or never boring the story pacing in the manga is

I'm referring to quality in the technical side of things. Nobody grown up enough enjoys a shounen for its story, but you can enjoy more things. Don't be like that "cultured taste" guy that talks about quality shows and hasn't watched even 80 animes, let alone quality ones.

I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy anything. I really enjoy a good well done shonen, with good action, good animation, good ost, good effects... What I said is that if you want a good, different, interesting story, you're not going to go for a shounen, you may watch something from old-school Madhouse, an interesting film, some psichological anime, even some slice of life or action anime! But shounen anime stories are not that much interesting, they tend to be simple, with easy to understand characters, themes, motivations... because they are literally made for children! The literal name of the genre is child in Japanese!

I literally just said that shounen anime isn't the best source of interesting stories, characters, themes... Not that you shouldn't enjoy it just because it's simple.
