The hashira training arc of demon slayer is an arc in which, unsurprisingly, the hashira train the members of the demon slayer corps.
The story continues where last season's deus ex machina left off and it is revealed that this event changed the entire dynamic of the anime. This means that the hashira now have enough time to train the other members of the corps so they they're better able to stand up to demons. We mainly follow Tanjiro as he receives training from different hashira which is either fun or boring depending on your interests. At the end of this season however the anime
...
shows that this training arc was just a set-up for the next season which does seem like it's going to be great. In this season there's quite a bit of the 'demon slayer humor' again but you can mostly ignore it.
The characters are mainly Tanjiro but also feature different hashira in different episodes and have occasional appearances of Zenitsu and Inosuke. There's barely any demons but you do see a bit of what Muzan is up to. The characters aren't the most detailed and intricate and are quite similar to the previous seasons with a few of them having some more information revealed about them.
The animation is okay. Normally the animation always looks great in demon slayer but there's very few fights meaning that these standout animations are absent. The anime still follows its signature style though and looks nice. The voice acting is good and so is the sound design.
Overall I'd say this is worth watching if you've watched all the previous seasons. Just be prepared to treat it like a setup arc more so than a main story arc.

This is a movie consisting of four normal anime episodes that takes place after the third season. Even though it's still clearly the same anime, it did feel kind of different in a negative way.
The story continues where the third season left off. There is a twist however since Kaguya reverts to her ice-queen persona. The movie seems to mostly be about the masks the characters wear and the acts they put up but I don't believe the way it was portrayed here was a good depiction of that. Kaguya seems to involuntarily switch to her persona. This felt like a genuine multiple personality
...
disorder instead of a character putting on airs. This involuntary personality change made the movie actively not fun to watch. If it was something Kaguya did on purpose then the story would still be okay but the fact that it wasn't made it painful to watch.
The story does reach a proper conclusion and advances the relationship but the way everything happened was just bad and unpleasant.
The characters are all the same as in the previous seasons except for Kaguya whose personality changes. I don't believe any new characters got added.
The art, voice acting and sound are all the same or similar to the previous seasons.
Overall I actively disliked watching this movie because of how poorly the personality change was handled. It is however still worth watching since it's part of the main storyline and advances it. Future seasons are unlikely to suffer from the same problems as this movie.

This is the promotional video for the third season of Kaguya-sama but don't write it off too quickly because it's actually worth watching.
This isn't a traditional PV but instead it's a normal kaguya skit in which Miyuki and Yuu get excited over the third season adaptation announcement of a manga they've been reading. Aside from this specific topic it's just another kaguya-sama skit.
The characters are the student council members. The animation, voice acting and sound are all the same or similar as the previous two seasons.
Overall this is just more content for the anime and certainly worth watching if you enjoyed the previous
...
two seasons, even if it doubles as a PV.

This is a pretty good third season for Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
The story continues where it previously left off, the entire school exploding when that huge balloon popped. After that there's around five more episodes of the previous great pacing before the anime changes a bit. For the rest of the anime time moves slower because of the large amount of events that happen during the culture festival and more characters are added without too much of a background. In this part there's a bit less humour and a bit more story but it's still pretty nice to watch.
The characters are okay, there's
...
character development but the anime mostly makes use of character traits previously introduced. There's also some new characters that we barely know anything about yet.
The art, sound and voice acting are all similar or the same as the previous two seasons.
Overall this is a good third season and you're likely to enjoy it even despite the change in pacing.

This OVA for Kaguya-sama: Love is War consists of two different parts. First fanservice up to 11:30 and then a normal skit.
The fanservice part was quite extreme as far as fanservice goes and at some points it seemed indistinguishable from hentai. The way the fanservice was added was okay but there were narrational gaps and it really didn't add anything to the main anime.
The second part was a cooking match between Miyuki, Kaguya and Yuu and this seemed like a perfectly normal skit and was enjoyable to watch.
The characters are the same as the characters in the second season and if you
...
want to watch this OVA I'd recommend watching the second season first.
The animation, voice acting and sound are all the same or comparable to the second season.
I don't recommend watching the hentai-like part since it doesn't add anything but the second part is nice. Therefore I only recommend watching the second part that starts at 11:30.

This is a great second season for Kaguya-sama: Love is War. It doesn't do much different than the first season but it doesn't have to.
The story continues where the first season left off and in the same style. There's most short skits between the characters, a part of which aren't even about trying to make the other person confess anymore. It did feel like in this season there were more references to nsfw stuff and more cringy moments but neither was significant enough to make the anime less fun to watch.
The characters are the ones from the first season with a neat collection of
...
new ones. The anime continues adding new characters and developing its existing ones, most noticeably Ishigami in this season.
The animation, sound and voice acting are all the same or comparable to the previous season.
Overall this is a great second season that just continues where the first season left off without changing too much about the formula.

Kaguya-Sama: Love is War is a great romantic comedy where the two main characters are in love with each other but try to make each other confess their love first.
The reason that the main characters try to get each other to confess is because the one confessing can be seen as weak, as the one who gives the love in the relationship while the other character receives it. This is a bit of a silly concept but luckily the anime is aware of that. It only uses this premise to tell a fun story but is self-aware and doesn't take itself overly seriously.
At the
...
start the story consists of clips, up to 10 minutes in length, of the main characters trying to get each other to confess by setting traps for each other and playing mind games. As the anime goes on however more and more side-characters get introduced, you get to know more about the characters through their interactions and learn about a bit of their past. This is something the anime does really well. It introduces new characters and information gradually while maintaining its comedy throughout which makes it a very pleasant anime to watch. There is also remarkably little cringy moments that would normally bother me when watching romantic comedies. Finally there is also a great narrator that adds a lot to the viewing experience.
The characters are great. They aren't the most detailed characters yet but their personalities are clear and the way they interact with each other is just fun. Basically every character is fun to watch in some way.
The animation was great. The characters all look great, the animation looks good and there's a healthy amount of attention to detail. There's also some comedic elements to the animation and I'm sure not everyone has seen the Yeti. The voice acting was great. There was some French voice acting too but it actually sounded alright. The sounds were good and helped with the comedy.
Overall this is a great romantic comedy with really solid pacing, good humour, not a lot of cringe and great animation that I can recommend to basically everyone. If you do end up watching this then I'd recommend watching up to 3-4 episodes at least before quitting since it starts off less impressive.

The final season of Tokyo ghoul is an anime where things happen. The problem is that I don't understand why they happen.
There is a story and it clearly progresses throughout this season, it's just incredibly unclear why it progresses in the way it does. There's multiple different organisations, all with different goals (I'd assume) but all their goals are unknown and their actions don't seem to make any sense to me. Starting an organisation and then doing nothing, attacking people who are supposed to be your allies and having the main driving force behind the story be a concept that the viewer nor the characters
...
can physically know are all factors that make this a confusion and poor story. The ending of the anime also fails to properly address how a society of humans and ghouls woould function.
The characters weren't great. Character motivations were absent or didn't make sense. Character allegiances seemed to switch around for no reason which made the story even more confusing to follow. There was probably some character development but it was overshadowed by confusion about how these backstories could possibly explain their current actions.
The animation was okay, the sound was good. The voice acting was good if you ignore a few random English words.
Overall I don't think this is worth watching, even if you have watched up to season 3. The story is confusing and just doesn't make sense. The ending feels lazy and doesn't really explain anything. You're better off quitting after the third season.

Tokyo Ghoul:re is supposed to be a sequel to the second season of Tokyo ghoul. However that's not what it feels like.
The story doesn't continue where the second season left off; instead it makes a two year time skip to a situation in the future. The events that take place during this two year time period are almost completely ignored and not elaborated on at all during all 12 episodes of this season. There are subtle hints and implications but the fact that you receive so little information makes this seem like a different story altogether instead of a third season.
If you treat
...
this anime as a separate story, it's actually not that bad. The story is interesting, there's multiple different factions with multiple different conflicting goals. There's big and decisive CCG operations where clear progress is made. There's subtle hints placed there to allow you to figure out what's going on before it actually happens and can be a fun story to watch.
The problem is that this isn't a separate story and instead a third season. The anime lacks narrative consistency (why can ghouls suddenly be injected through their skin when the first season made a big deal of that not being possible?), (Germany is mentioned twice but the outside world is still completely ignored) and doesn't do a great job at handling its time skip, revealing way too little information and leaving you confused as to what Aogiri Tree and the CCG have actually been up to during these 2 years.
The characters are almost all different from the previous two seasons. The character from the previous seasons that's on-screen the most is the gourmet of all people. Most of the characters from the previous seasons only make cameo appearances or play minor roles. Instead there's lots of new characters with a main cast that's actually quite reasonable and that I can respect as far as characters go. Because of the large amount of new characters is can be somewhat hard to keep track of everyone and their implied goals. While the main character's internal struggle makes sense in the beginning, in the later episodes I completely lost track of what's going on and failed to understand the logic behind any of his actions. The gourmet also doesn't always make sense which is expected and after this third season I still don't understand what the goal of Aogiri Tree is.
The animation was okay. There was less and better CGI than in the previous two seasons but there's still some CGI for cars and such. Overall the characters looked good and the fights (insofar they were shown, which they frequently weren't with only the conclusion of the fight being shown) were nice. The voice acting was good if you ignore the character that is clearly struggling to include German/French/English words into his sentences to sound elegant. The sound was great.
Overall I don't think this is a great third season and don't recommend watching it as such. You can watch it as a separate story in the Tokyo Ghoul universe with some of the characters from the original series involved. If you do decide to watch this anime I'd recommend first also watching the two single-episode OVAs named Tokyo Ghoul Jack and Tokyo Ghoul Pinto since they give a lot of background information on relevant characters.

Pinto is a Tokyo Ghoul OVA about the character known as: 'The Gourmet'. It's about how he met a human girl who he befriended instead of ate. Since the gourmet appears a lot in the first season you can watch this after the first season of Tokyo Ghoul but watching it after the second season makes just as much sense.
Honestly with the story being about the gourmet, arguably one of the most messed up characters in Tokyo Ghoul, I didn't have high hopes for the OVA. Yet while the story wasn't amazing, it also wasn't bad and I do think it's nice that you can
...
see how the gourmet's character naturally evolved from how he acted in the past. The story itself isn't too impressive but the dialogue between the two characters can be amusing.
The characters were acceptable. The gourmet wasn't as crazy as we've seen him in the main anime and he frequently gets shut down by the girl's silly behaviour. I kind of wish she was with him in the main anime because she's able to provide some kind of counterweight.
The animation, voice acting and music are comparable or the same as the main anime.
Overall this can be worth watching if you like tokyo ghoul and would like to know more about the gourmet. The story is a bit disturbing but such is tokyo ghoul.
