Welcome demon slayer stans, to the rollercoaster ride that is, your apprent greatest story ever, Kimetsu no Yaiba [back at it again, for that one show every year]. It's like a demon slayer who forgot to sharpen his blade - it's still deadly, but it doesn't quite hit the mark, and by missing i mean, absolutely haymaker slashes. It's not a disaster, but it's a solid, disappointing 6. It's like the rice ball that's been left out too long - still fills you up, but leaves a stale taste in your mouth. Not even a sakura rice cake would help us here, trust me.
The story is like a demon with a bad sense of direction - it's going somewhere, but it's stumbling around in the dark. The characters are like a group of slayers who forgot their uniforms - they're trying their best, but they just don't look the part.
The direction is like a blindfolded Tanjiro trying to find Nezuko with his smell - it's aimless and confusing, and very very weird to process cause thats weird. The sound is like a snore fest - it's just loud, and the best ost's are the ones from previous seasons, great , excellent creativtiy there.
But it's not all doom and gloom. There are moments of brilliance, like Inosuke finding a perfectly ripe melon in the middle of the wilderness, oh wait sorry that didnt happen, wish it did, i would have given it an 8 then at least. This arc, seriously makes you get instilled with thoughts like we can or we will be soon finding a demon who doesn't want to eat humans, oh wait, we did didnt we, okay why then, why do they not eat humans [question ignored subtly by subduing journalist with silence the breathing second form].
So, should you watch Kimetsu no Yaiba: Swordsmith Village Arc? Well, if you're a die-hard fan who's willing to sit through a few dull episodes for the sake of the story, then yes. But if you're looking for the same level of excitement and quality as the previous arcs, then you might want to lower your expectations.
In the end, we're all just viewers trying to find our way in the dark. And sometimes, we stumble and fall. But we get up, dust ourselves off, and keep going. This is just that one fall, now we gotta dust this shit off before it infests.
Thanks for reading, you beautiful demon slayer. Until next time, stay sharp.
