Breathtaking
RealMOJO9924 May 2019
I hope that kimetsu no yaiba is a recurring anime and not only lasts for the confirmed 26 episodes. The story and animation are absolutely breathtaking. Very keen to see how it progresses throughout. so far, a really awesome anime.

Really meaningful, contains spoilers for the anime show
irfankurniawan-3876625 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I finished a book called man's searching for meaning, and then i watch this show, this show really touching, how the main character give a meaning to his relationship, enemies, his grief. How he got the motivation to fight on, he brought his people feelings to the battle, when he broke his sword (his teacher and blacksmith), when he about to die(eps 18-19, saving inosuke and nezuko), when he cured (aoi), and he also empatized for demons that died, this anime gave background story about demon's previous life as human, i was crying when rui parents said "no matter where we go, we will always be together, even in hell" (being is nothing without meaning). I never believe in afterlife but. Even if it's real, i'd do the same no matter where she goes i will find her through hell or heaven even if god say i'm a heretic (this anime said that "you can torture me and take my soul but i'll never give up on my meaningful things").

I'd strongly recommend this.

Demon Slayer Season 1 (2019) is a series my daughter and I recently watched on Netflix (26 episodes). The storyline focuses on a family that lives on a mountain 🏔 just outside of town where everyone in the family plays a roll for their survival. The sons job is to walk into town, trade for supplies and bring them home for his family. One day he returns home and finds his entire family has been murdered by demons on the mountain. So begins his journey to become a demon slayer...aided by his sister turned demon herself and friends he encounters along the way. The gore in this was better than I anticipated and the creatures are portrayed awesome - Many unique demons with surprisingly cool powers. I loved the evolution of the main characters as well as the friends he meets and their display of powers. The animation is very good. My daughter loved the storyline and can't wait to watch the movie. The only annoying part is the persistent inner monologue, but what anime series doesn't have an abundance of that? I'd score this a 9-9.5/10 and strongly recommend this.

Breathtaking animation
mindhy_eau25 June 2019
I love this anime, by reading the manga and comparing the episodes I'm just blown away, the action scenes are so impressive, as well the pace, I'm usually upset when there's a lot of missing stuffs from the mangas, but not this one, so far its been great.

ITS A MUST WATCH
harismahmood-7954110 July 2019
Randomly saw this anime and clicked on it wasn't even paying attention to it and then it just got me hooked from the get go like literally from the very start I've been glued to it.

Hero academia and demon slayer(kimetsu no yaiba) are my favourites of all time

The show is going to reach its potential
endranokk16 April 2019
I'm calling for it this show is going to be amazing and for the last 2 episodes have already got me because the animation is just breathtaking and very crisp too. And the storytelling is gotta be good as "Dororo". And the studio is from Ufotable, The one that made the Fate series no wonder the animation is so good.

Breathtaking
Lucadelic7 May 2019
This show has been given justice, this is a anime that has outdone the manga. Tanjiro our protaganist is unlike many other shonen anime protaganists (one piece: Luffy for example) while Luffy's goal is to become the pirate king, tanjiros goal does not base itself in his growth. It is his will and moral of saving others and furfilling his quest of helping his sister that drives him forward which means that gaining strengh is not the primarily focus which for me adds a new perspective to the show. If you have seen up until episode 19 and you have not rated this show, There really is no convincing you. This show is a masterpiece and you'll be hooked from the first episode!

Miss it at your own peril
shammyshamnine29 May 2019
What an anime! Most often times a soundtrack tells how good an anime will be and from the first few scenes I knew I was onto something here. The story and emotions that run through this show is just breathtaking. Anime's are rarely made like this anymore. So glad I found it.

Amazing show
rurquhart-0138512 January 2022
Emotional and beautiful. Very little fan service compared to other animes. The main character is wholesome and a joy to see grow as a person and see his interactions with others!

A tale of Tragedy and family
molobelalesedi8 November 2021
This is a masterpiece built in tragedy and the love of family. A brother comes home only to find his family slain by a demon. The sister survives and is tùrned to a demon as well. It is a journey of the brother to find a cure and defend his sister.

It is full of sorrow and grief, friendship and also the love of family.

I guarentee you will love it.

If you are new to anime, this is the best way to get you addicted.

Good, but overrated.
maxvladimir22 April 2021
Well executed, but the only thing that differentiates it from a million other battle anime's is the artstyle. Characters have chemistry, but can get extremely annoying at times and most are very one dimensional.

Generic story with beautiful animation and good music
ncl-6601526 May 2021
The story of demon slayer is pretty simple. Tanjiro is the main character, his familiy gets killed by a demon only his sister survived. Now he is becoming a demon slayer to hunt the demon who murdered his family. For that he'll be part of an organization, called demon slayer corps, which a ranking system going from 1 to 10. On this journey he meet two other young demon slayer, which then accompaing him on his quest.

Well, reading that you might see many pretty generic plotlines. Of course, that must not be bad per se. But the thing here is, that the characters are quite flat. Our young hero Tanjiro for example is really nice and friendly, thats it. He has no flaws, no errors. He has a tragic backstory, cries sometimes and must train more to become stronger... wow, never heard that before. Same goes for all the other characters and also for the world. Like the ranking system for the organization, it was just once mentioned. During the first season we only get to know members from the highest rank. What about all the other ranks? ( It would be like in One Piece during the first 100 episode we will only meet yonkos ). And to the style of the main characters: The main characters look so much out of place with the hair and the styling, compared to other people. And nobody is paying attention to that (not like in FMA were everybody is constantly looking at them) What really is amazing about the tv show is the animation and beautiful drawing. It is really top, watching the episode 19 season 1 was really amazing. Also the music is quite good. (But honestly, music and animation not as good as AOT - lets be real here).

The tv show is okay to watch, it can be funny and interesting. Maybe younger audiences will love it more. For me it is quite predictable and generic.

Is it a masterpiece like so many keep saying? No, not for me.

Really good
ebrailey229 July 2019
Great animation, interesting story, and a lot of brutal scenes later on. Def. Not a slow start but it kinda eases itself into the story and gradually gets better. Really liking the show

Overhyped 6/10
xmaldax16 January 2021
Visuals 9/10 but writing? 4/10, there is almost no character development... From start to end of the 1st test its been promising, and I enjoyed the show that far a lot,,, since Inosuke joins the "plot" it goes down, this character ruined the whole show for me, not funny, just plain annoying, he had no purpose at all in the show... Still good anime, just not as good as it's advertised

Kimetsu No Yaiba
0U19 March 2020
Awesome literally awesome. I have seen alot of anime shows but this was one of the best and people attacking this show have a personal grudge to be honest as it broke some records and the fact that its fans are not attacking the critics is a proof on all its own that how toxic they are .... Characters-9 Animation-10 Voice acting-9 Plot-8 Fighting-10 Music-9

Amazing animation, decent editing, yet mediocre storyline
tea_in_a_cup12 January 2020
This anime is overrated imo. The animation is definitely top-notched, no doubt about it. But here are where the faults lie:

1. Mis-matched music. They need to do better with music editing. Some battles' epicness is taken away by the un-epicness of the background music. 2. Too much internalization. I know internalization is part and parcel of animes but goddamn the main character just won't shut up for a second. 3. Above all, the anime has a mediocre and typical storyline. The main character sets out on a quest to find the cure for his sister. To this end he must fight demons, which is basically like every other shounen anime ever. That's it. There's nothing else to the story. No depth. No complexity. To make up for the lackluster storyline, the author just includes some fanservicing scenes with cute adorable characters. If you're just looking for well-animated fighting sequences, this is the anime for you. If you are looking for animes that raise philosophical questions to make you ponder for days and days, look elsewhere.
