Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (5/11 eps)
Much like the prior season the characters are still stupid and unrealistic, and the shockingly bad comedic timing still kills EVERY emotional scene. That being said the show is carried by 10/10 animation, and awesome action scenes. When the pacing is good this show is great. When it slows down, and the dialogue plus """"hUm0Ur"""" rears it's ugly head, the series becomes a real struggle to watch. Recommended for: Fans of the previous series, or those who don't mind terrible characterisation.

The characters are genuinely invincible... This classic shounen trope has NEVER been abused as much as in Demon Slayer, and it causes every fight to have 0 tension - much like the previous arc, the final fight intentionally baits the viewer by generating hollow dramatic moments. The comedy is distracting and is CONSTANTLY used to kill all form of drama or tension, it feels like the writer has two personalities: One who wrote the interesting world, cool martial arts, and nice action set pieces; The other whom writes hack jokes and terrible characters.

But hey, the characterisation, story, and falsified drama doesn't really matter when they're throwing hands - or well, swords.
