There are three huge issues that are not-forgiveable with both this season AND last season of Demon Slayer.
1. Fights should not legally exceed 5+ episodes. You cannot simply carry the momentum that far and keep topping the last move which was allegedly the strongest (it wasn't).
2. You CANNOT take a 20 MINUTE PAUSE, MID-FIGHT, to tell us the backstory of the person who is fighting. TELL US BEFOREHAND. I DONT CARE ABOUT THIS PERSON NOW. TOO LATE. NOW YOU'VE RUINED THE PACING OF THE FIGHT.
3. This is an anime classic.: the deus ex machina. Just randomly at the end, pulling a twist out of nowhere which saves everyone. "Oh she actually didn't die because the whole time she was immune to that but she's only realised just now that's why we just told you". It's so unearned. There are now no stakes. The main characters are gods I never think for a second they're going to die.
Look, I may continue watching, purely because it takes 0 brain cells and I can be on my phone and not miss a thing. But the first season was pretty good, I really was hoping for more.
