This new Demon Slayer season is 8 episodes of straight filler since the writing is actually terrible.
Going into this season I thought that the training arc would be used to deepen the story and help develop characters on top of the characters training for the final battle. However, actually developing the characters and deepening the story would take too much effort, so instead Ufotable gave us an 8 episode training montage.
So far, besides Tomioka’s backstory, we have gained nothing from this season. Currently, you can literally skip this season and wait for the next and you won’t have missed a thing.
Also why do we need to watch people train for 8 damn episodes? If this season was gonna have no character or plot development and be just straight training then it shoulda been like 3 episodes.
Overall I think this season shows that Ufotable and their animation for fight scenes are literally carrying the terrible writing of this show.
Score: 3/10
