Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (13/26 eps)
First let me say, Kimetsu no Yaiba has great animation. I honestly don't mind the CG use too much but besides that I thought it was very unique and something I haven't seen before. The fight scenes are enjoyable and I like to see the solutions that Tanjiro comes up with to defeat his enemies. The music and sound design are also pretty good, however, I'm not a huge fan of the music.

Unfortunately, that's about it for the good parts of this show. The storyline is super generic, guy wants revenge and to save his sister, so he joins a group of Demon Slayers to fight evil. Wow. The demon concept is interesting, but I think sometimes it can be awkward to fit in decapitations of human eating demons with scenes of wacky characters, right after a death.

That's probably my least favorite thing about this show actually. The characters just don't fit, at least in my opinion. Tanjiro the protagonist seems very cookie cutter and the yellow haired kid is annoying to say the least. You would think a show with a generic plot would make up for it with good characters that don't get on your nerves too much, but watching their conversations and interactions was very boring and I could pretty much tell exactly what each character was going to say before they said it.

Kimetsu no Yaiba is very.... okay. I'll continue to skip the boring parts and try to see what direction the anime goes but after all, this could of had so much potential. 6/10
