it’s because it’s popular. anything popular gets a lot of hate as well. i personally don’t hate it, but i definitely don’t see it as top notch.

It's hyped that's why it's score is so high.....

Look at Love is War s3, chainsaw man, and spy x family. Their scores are also stupidly high, falling in the 8.8 - 9.1 range. None of them deserve that high of a rating (even though I gave LiW s3 a 10).

Rating nowadays is a below average indicator of how good an anime actually is

They're still a very good indicator in my opinion, you just need to wait like 2 years from their release to stabilize

The ending of manga felt so rushed and so many characters were undeveloped by the time the manga finished. The art style is gorgeous, I’ll give it that, but the writing was so lackluster that it didn’t even matter towards the end. A lot of the characters were given sad backstories before they died to compensate for the lack of personality they had, which is a thing that a lot of anime do that makes me a little upset. It had a lot of potential, and I don’t hate it, but I think when people call it a contender for one of the best shounen anime that have come out recently, it’s a bit of a stretch. Giyuu is probably the most developed character in the whole series, which makes me a little happy because he’s my favorite. Not all of it is bad, but it’s not as perfect as people make it out to be.

Why would you ask the demon slayer fanbase why other people dislike the series? Since they're fans of an anime series they're obviously just going to say that "it's haters."
It's like asking the romans or the jews the question of "Who killed Jesus?" They're obviously just going to blame the other party right?

I think it also gets allot of hate cuz people keep saying it's better than one piece,when most of em haven't even watch one piece and it's like comparing a juggernaut of popularity to a brand new celebrity who's the new flavor of the month.

the thing also is allot of it's fans can't even critic the anime properly as their too busy going around pretending it's perfect. that isn't even remotely true though.the anime has one thing going for it amazing animated sakuga fight moments. also solid ish main cast inoske is the most well developed and interesting of the trio though. the other thing is I didn't like how tanjiro was basically deku but in feudal Japan. that was very cheap knock off lazy feeling to me. also it's over reliance on a ton over used shonen tropes made it feel bland boring and like to see if ur experienced n anime. it's fine if ur a beginner of anime but there's little to nothing for seasoned anime fans at all.

my last point is the world building is terrible is completely flat, devoid of depth and orginal personlity of any kind. unfortunately this also the truth of the entirety of the anime as well. also it annoys me cuz it had so much potential but decided to put all the development,which wasn't even that much towards the main three. explanation now over also one noticable annoyance I've seen is some fans saying it's ghibli level. spoilers it's so not as I've watched both lol.

Duh, but the amount of hate is relevant

Demon slayer doesn't get any more hate than your average shounen. Everyone shits on MHA because it's too generic, recently Spy x family got viral and there was a storm of mid x family posts, when attack on titan final season dropped, people started bashing it for its CGI. Now people are bashing chainsaw man for it's cgi even though it's the smoothest animation I've seen in a long time. Demon slayer hate posts aren't even that bad comparatively

It isn’t very original? The animation is what ropes everyone in. I’ve read it all and watched it all.
Final arc is pretty good but it’s not groundbreaking.

DS reminds me of so many late 90’s/early 2000’s series.

love is war deserves that score, its season 3 and built for that moment, SPY FAMILY cour 1 too was good and fun, deserve at least 8.5, CSM sp far is good but as a manga reader i agree this part of the story doesnt deserve that score yet. also how you didnt mention bleach , because for us who grew up in the 2000s and manga readers bleach doesnt deserve that score, there is no world where bleach deserve a 9.

Nothing special about it yet. It’s like cheerios not bad but not great either. Just solid. Without the animation I don’t think it would be anything special. Haven’t read the manga so can’t speak too far ahead but so far it’s just ok.

Bleach's rating is a 7.8, which I think is fairly accurate and consistent considering the fact that half of its episodes are filler.
Spy x family so far hasn't engaged me as much as an 8.7/10 show should
Love is war is good, but it definitely is not better than anime like FMAB and steins gate, which are similarly rated to it.
Demon slayer is, in my opinion, carried by its animation. Without the animation the show would not be sitting at the 8.5/10 it's at right now.

i kinda agree that love is war is not on the level of stein gates or FMAB, there a many classics anime that comes in the 2000s taht deserve to be above it;spy family too deseves to be in the lower range of 8, i agree on DS,

Yeah it's stunning how much recency bias has affected the rating system. It's really concerning. Love is war is definitely at best a mid 8 show. The fact that it's rated higher than shows like code geass, FMAB, Steins gate, death note, and monster is ridiculous.

I'm not speaking on behalf of myself btw, but in general the entire community. There are flaws with love is war which I won't notice simply because I loved the show since the first episode, so I'm definitely biased there lmao.

It's not hated, rather the opposite. It's not perfect, but saying it's absolutely horrible or everyone hates it is wrong. The score and popularity of the show wouldn't be possible if majority of the people disliked it. No matter what criticisms you throw at DS, you cant change the fact that countless people liked it and it was extremely successful.

Haters just have the loudest voices, especially here on mal forums where too many act like elitists. That may be why people assume everyone shares a negative opinion, when in reality majority don't.

I for sure don't hate it, but other than some pretty animation it doesn't do anything special. The only aspect of it I do hate is Zenitsu, really. Other than him it's a relatively fun, inoffensive show that I probably won't rewatch anytime soon.

I've read 3 of your paragraph. It is easy to critisize something if you lie about it.
I didn't find any truth in those 3 paragraph, but nice try.

what did i lie about?

Lies in the first 3 paragraph:
- He sells "rocks" everyday: your first paragraph's logic stand on this statement which isn't true.
- CGI looks like San Andreas: no, it's currently the best animation and certain shots look extremely realistic, while San Andreas never looked realistic.
- The narration while there is no narrator: this is my favorite point. You have a problem with something that doesn't exist in the show. :D What you misinterpreted as narration is that the characters were thinking. That's why your whole 3rd paragraph isn't true.

So, not a single statement is true in those 3 paragraph. Good job.

I don't think it's terrible. I think it's okay for the most part. After reading the manga I believe it's a bit poorly written because it's the mangakas first work and can come off a bit basic in terms of plot and MC at times. By the final arc it's actually written a lot better. The animation of the first season however looks fantastic. Mugen Train and season 2 I find quite nauseating to watch due to the overuse and poor implementation of 3D animation. Does this mean I think it's bad? No, it's still well made but it's not for me. I think the story and characters lack crucial development but at times it can be a really good watch. I think the problem lies with the source material rather than the anime.

I watched it in dub and Tanjiro is monotone but I watched the movie in sub and it was definitely better more emotion.

Some people are watching anime (mainly) dubbed ? I saw an interview of dubbers saying that it's basically a one shot dub, because the market is very lucrative and companies tends to outsource the work. I know only two anime properly dubbed in my language (not English) so far : DBZ and One Punch Man (but it is also very good in Jap - not like DBZ IMHO).
Goku's voice is more mature (20~ish year old sound, instead of 5 year old kid screaming)

I never judge a character base only on a dubbed serie/movie/anime, it's pointless. I rediscovered Harry Potter when I watched it in VO a few years ago (I was 12 or so when it was out)

When I was new to anime I watched everything in dub but now I prefer sub most of the time. I don’t form an opinion about a character or anime based on a bad dub but other factors like characters that are well written and interesting and a good story.

The show got hyped and overshadowed a couple of other favourites of the community at the time. I particullarly remember the reactions to the episode in which Tanjiro (unsuccessfully) beheaded Rui. 50% of the comments were praise and 50% pure spite trying to find every real or suspected fault in the show/source material.

Because of it's popularity and over used shounen tropes.

Demon Slayer basically offers the typical shounen experience but with better animation. It's nothing really special. It only stood out because of the animation and hype.

Demon slayer becomes massively popular because it's simple, beautiful, and easy to consume like candy.

Others then look at that surging popularity and think it's because it's truly profound or deep or some kind of masterpiece; and then are sorely disappointed when they find that it is NOT that, and then proceed to take huge steaming dump on it

Because some people only think a luxurious meal has to have truffle, foie gras and caviar. Some people just dont want a simple endearing show. Then again, there are shows I don't like and I usually forget about them, while others feel the need to tell everyone why they think a show sucks.
