Yeah I watch demon slayer. Call this show mid or whatever but you are definitely watching it alone to absorb the delicious eyegasming animation it provides. You might say "nah, the story is too generic". Well, duh. How do you expect it to reach the mass audience? With an "Elden ring" type story that needs you to search google for the lore and replay the game 7 times?
It's popular because it's easy to get into, you don't get lost watching the anime. Don't forget the purpose after a new season arrives. You get teary feeling the characters determination in a fight. Your heart throbs at ... the characters death. This season is filled with all of these. And a ray of hope that begins the path to the ending of the show. You will enjoy it.

And my rating?
10/10

[Spoiler free]
Let's start with some basic about solo leveling.
Solo leveling is our typical MC becomes strong type of manhwa. MC suddenly gains a power, trains hard then becomes better than everybody.But why does it stands out?It has reached the no.1 spot in MyAnimeList's top manhwa tier.I recently found out that it has reached about 120M+ view in an illegal manga reading website which is 2x more than the next popular manga on that specific site.
The main reason for all this hype and popularity is Solo leveling's fantastic story telling,Character development, Goal setting and flamboyant art-style.The character design is next level.Artist Hyoen-Gun & Jang-Sung-Rak used digital ... painting and gradient which provided a 3D feeling to the characters.They used the web-comic feature as their advantage and utilized it fully.Each fight scene feels dynamic and spellbound.
Solo leveling is an adaption of the Light Novel 'I alone level up/Solo leveling' by the author chu-gong.His story telling is so fulfilling that from very beginning it's more than enough to hold the reader to complete the remaining chapter as soon as possible.'Solo leveling' is like 'One punch man' but here we get to see him getting stronger and gain the recognition our MC deserves.
If you are one of the person who sweats about small stuff and can't wait for a mystery to be revealed then continuing this manhwa will be difficult for you.
'The name of the main character is Jin-Woo who survived a difficult situation and was granted a option to become a player(Nope it's not isekai). He was the sole person to get the opportunity and was awarded with a function called system.What is this system?Why is this system?Who runs this system?This 3 question is shrouded with mystery and will be revealed at the halfway of the manhwa.In order to enjoy the story you will need to stop asking this 3 question to yourself again and again'.
Did you succeed?Good.Now you are ready to read the manhwa.Trust my words you won't regret it.

I am mostly an anime viewer.In my whole life I probably read at most 7/8 manga and all of them were highly popular.I found out about this manga from the anime adaption.And I don't regret my decision at all.Not matter which way you used to get into Demon Slayer it's a masterpiece.Author's story telling is beautiful.Character style is unique and lovable.It might annoy you a bit but soon enough you will understand why is the art style is important.Because of the art style author can insert humor exactly where it is needed.Every demon they hunt is unique and the way Tanjiro's hunt goes on is ... also unique.You will feel the pressure and the emotion.Every twist is accurately put.The story pace is so soothing you won't even be able to complain.The story revolves around Nezuko and Tanjiro's sibling bond.This won't provide you the feel of typical shounen because of it's unique story and character build up.Author did marvelous job building up each ark and all character development.If you are confused about whether you should read it or not..Let me give you a push.It's 100% worth of your leisure time.

Boku No Hero Academia or My Hero Academia is the most typical shounen anime possible. The motto of our main character Izuku Midoriya(Deku) is also like other typical shounen anime. His goal is to get strong enough so that he can reach a level where he can save everyone with a smile.Then why is this different?Why is this always the most hyped anime of each season?
The reason is it's story telling.It's gradual character building.Explosiveness of each ark.And undeniably those mind blowing use of sound effects.From the beginning of the anime we all knew that Deku would be the no.1 hero. But the gradual progress of ... his growth is so satisfying and soothing that you will become one with Deku.
This season is mostly about the result of Deku's growth till Season 3 .How he implements what he has learned, how sharp is his sense of justice and thrive to protect everyone.In an honest opinion season 3 was BNHA's best season till now. If you want to match the story with previous season and wish for season 4 to reward you with that same level of emotional satisfaction you will be disappointed. This season their battles are back to back and less impactful.The beginning of this season won't award you as much as it did in S3.But if you can stick with the story there will be a lot coming up that will not only fill up your thirst but also overlap your boredom.

Information and Knowledge are the most valuable things to exist in this world if you can utilize them properly.This what I experienced til now watching this anime.
Even though it's similar to other Isekai anime it's also not.The main character is named Maine who had unquenchable thirst for knowledge in her previous life.Thus she was inclined to reading books as much as she could. Her affection towards books was so much that even when she was dying her only desire was to get to read books on her next reincarnation.
This is the part where this anime stands out from other Isekai. She was blessed with the ... knowledge from her previous life but not with luck. She becomes a normal girl living in a normal household where books are so rare that there are people who doesn't even know what a book is. She is in no way or means overpowered or lucky. She has to battle out with herself and the reality to reach the end of her dream. To be able to read books. Ascendance of a bookworm accurately illustrates how reality works. The story progresses at a healthy pace. You won't feel bored,you won't feel rushed. You will feel her pain. You will feel her efforts to thrive towards her goal. If you are a person who likes fantasy of living a life in another world also the most humane progress of a character you will love this anime 100%.
