Before every season of this show, I always try to remind myself of how unremarkable it should be. Even the name "Demon Slayer" sounds like something crafted by a paint-by-numbers marketing team. Even thematically, what exactly makes it different from the Black Clovers or Blue Exorcists of the world? The budget certainly helps but does little except highlight the magnificent action scenes. I think it's the pathos and the characters. Maybe. I'm uncertain. It is not an original show; it certainly wear its influences, but it uniquely seems to transcend them, becoming the best version of what those influences should aspire to be. Shonen will be made all the better for the existence of Demon Slayer.
