Do you think Demon Slayer needs a Narrator??
| While reading some critical reviews and recent posts related to the second season of Demon Slayer, I came across a common issue that people are talking about and that is how stupid and cheesy some dialogues feel and how that somewhat interrupts the flow of certain episodes. Well for me everything felt the same compared to last season although there is no doubt that there has certainly been an increase in flashbacks and thought-process (I don't know what's the technical term for that, but a period when the character talks to himself about an ongoing fight) during fight scenes which serves the purpose of explaining certain moves/powerups. And during these flashbacks the character acts as the Narrator. So my simple question is, do you think an omniscient narrator could be somewhat useful in solving these issues? For example, in episode 8 - While protecting Tengen from those flying blood sickles, Tanjirou begins to explain how water breathing is more suitable for deflecting a much powerful attack (this somewhat broke the flow of the fight) I think with the help of a Narrator this scene could have been easily avoided or explained without breaking the flow |

| It would be nice if it had one, but I don't know how they'd integrate it into the show. |

Fkyourmom said: actually I'm not talking about the dialogues because I don't think anything can be done about that.... because you know for some reason there target audience are kids although they are fine with showing tons of boobaonly demon Slayer has this problem of dialogue because the dialogues itself are immaturish.....so if the same shit narrator speaks....then it will make no difference I was talking about those powerups/move explanations happening during fights |

| Idk, considering how annoying the chimera ant narrator was. But still, it would probably be better than the exposition we do get in demon slayer. |
| No. A simplified explanation would make the fight flow better, but the anime is adapting the manga so faithfully they even made the dialogues and monologues identically the same with the manga. Having a fight with many dialogues and monologues in manga form would work just fine, but it didnt work quite well in anime form. |
| Go read 'Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece' If you like webnovel with historical, military and kingdom building genre. |
| nope not really the story isnt that hard to understand plus there isnt much explaination needed on the sword techniques |
| the problem isn't the narrator, it's the cringe and useless dialogue |

| Hmm. I thought that its fine just the way it is. Many in manga format there are many monologues and dialogues that wont come in between fights, but even when animated, I dont feel that is annoying or anything. Its fine just the way it is, or else people would say that Kny is just full of mindless action. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| 1.) The word you're looking for is monologue. 2.) There is narration in the manga but the anime opts to cut it. Sometimes it doesn't matter but there are several moments where it should've stayed. 3.) The core issue is that the dialogue and monologue in the fights are bad which is derived from the manga. It just doesn't work when switching mediums and why I think Ufotable is a heavily flawed studio. They aren't at all transformative with KnY unlike say Fate(they also went too far on that series by cutting monologues). Basically, cut half the dialogue, keep the monologue, and add back the narrator with more creative imagery. |

| Nah it doesn’t lack a narrator, it lacks good writing. |
| "SHOW, DON'T TELL" Narrator isn't needed in 99% of cases. |
 |
| Tanjiro narrates 99% of what's going on during the fights anyway lol he pretty much already is the narrator. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| A narrator is very important. Some narration is required to enhance the show. Useless narration is not needed and Tanjiro does that. |
 |
| 90% of it is Tanjiro's monologues that spoil everything. I have nothing to do with long-read episodes, but god, his monologues are totally unnecessary. Tanjiro can complain at least several times during one episode about how everything hurts him, how strong his opponent is, how he has to do his best, etc., Jesus, what is it for? This does not build the plot at all, and even pisses off hellishly because the viewers are not 5-year-old kids who need to explain every emotion. |

And his favourite sentence to describe how strong a demon is. "The smell is so bad. It hurts the back of my throat." A variation of this for every powerful demon lol. Tanjiro needs to shut up. |
