Many people who love Demon Slayer might disagree with my opinions on this show. So please don't interpret my review the wrong way. I liked this show, and I enjoyed it, but Kimetsu No Yaiba's story is lacking to some extent. It's quite obvious at some points that the animation of this show is some what carrying it's 8 rating.
Kimetsu No Yaiba has a pretty well thought out story line, but I do believe there is a large gap between it's repetitiveness and introducing new story line. In the show the main character Tanjiro is looking for a cure to his demon sister (same as
...
the manga). But every single journey seems the same, In my opinion, I was just waiting for more great animation. That's the problem to me. I was more hyped to see the animation in this show, then wondering what was going to happen next in the story line. I watched the anime then read the manga, so that's not why I thought like that.
Something I loved about this show in the beginning was that main character Tanjiro, he was the hard working shonen. But the more and more the show went on, Tanjiro tended to just repeat the same lines over and over again. "I have to save Nezuko!, I will turn her back to human". That line got damn annoying at some point. Like it's okay to restate his purpose, but damn it was cringe worthy at some points. This might just be the sub, not sure.
A lot of people enjoy comedy anime, and that's fine. But Kimetsu no Yaiba is not on the basis of a comedy. This kid's family was killed, and his little sister was turned to a demon. You watch these actions unfold as the show goes on. But then they introduce Zenitsu, who is an okay character. He's basically just a little pussy, but when he passes out during a fight he becomes godlike. Anyway, this character got mad annoying, and in my opinion failed to implement comic relief the correct way. Zenitsu does nothing but scream the whole show. The voice acting in general just gets annoying, there's just so much damn whining. Like I thought I was watching an intense demon show?
Otherwise I love the determination of the main character, and the way the plot develops Tanjiro. I love the music in the show, it's creepy and motivating at the same time. I love the animation (obviously), it's so great, my favorite part of the show. The sounds are great, they match the animation well. I enjoyed seeing the different characters, more interested in the cool enemies and Zenitsu's thunder breathing.
Overall this show is good, but it's not great. If you want me to be honest, demon slayer would not make it as a "good" anime, if it wasn't for the anime.
