If we put aside the super sexualization of ALL women.
The ridiculous, bad, and old-fashioned depiction of All women appearing in this season.
The ultra over the top sexualization of the main villain. (Don't get me wrong, a little here and there is okay, it's target demographic is clear, but you know, it rest credibility to the overall product and became even annoying).
The lack of plot, and the nonsensical of the premise.
The eternal main fight that goes on for more than half of the episodes. Tje bad pacing of the script and the constant cuts when the action reaches its climax.
Zenitsu and his insufferable personality. The screaming for no reason. And many other little nuances.
And we are left with impeccable action sequences. Monumental production values.
Fantastic main villains in…

This was a pain to sit through.
The main focus of this season is a single fight between the Demon Slayers and a Rank 6 demon. The producers used 9 episodes to portray this fight, dragging it out to the point of boredom. During this long, long fight, you get the typical shitty shounen tropes: villain talks to themselves for 10 minutes; heroes that seemed like they were knocked out, out of the fight, lying in a pool of blood on the ground suddenly find more will to fight by force of friendship/love/insert other trope here, and then conveniently save their friends from certain death, at the absolutely last second. These tropes get repeated episode after episode, with no end in sight.
The first two episodes of this season were interesting in terms of world building and introducing some new ch…

The show and music were so insanely hyped that I was constantly flexing my arm creating time under tension. Insane way to build up my triceps.
Opening and Ending by Aimer also goes crazy that I listened to it in the gym and hit a new PR. I was at my last breathe when I thought to myself "What would Rengoku do?", the next moment I found my legs pushed up on the leg press machine.
Throughout the show, I was sweating from anticipation giving me a good cardio workout as well.
Moments in the show made my jaw drop from the sheer astonishment and excitement I felt while experiencing such carefully curated and wonderful animation paired with top-notch orgasmic orchestra music. When I closed my mouth, I could feel my jawline getting sharper.
Overall 10/10 season.

studio Ufotable get creative in drawing and animating the length of the anime episodes
As for Tengen, he made all the episodes very beautifully dazzling and regarding the past of jyotaro and his sister, he was sad because of the treatment of the people of the city, which happened a fight between jyotaro and Tengen and Tanjiro until the Upper Moon always came to make him one of the higher moons and I am excited about season third from demon slayer And also to the character of tokito who will show his strength in front of the audience in the land of the sword-makers arc And I'll wait for the anime to its right time

It's a damn shame. A real damn shame that so many are looking to dislike this amazing series out of some sub-conscious spite they have toward plots that are simple, yet executed so well. The fact these reviews are popping up 4/10 or around that on feature page of this series, I truly believe people are doing their best to dislike a series they don't want to appreciate - whether that be due to popularity or their own selfish beliefs.
The popularity and overall score people have given this season should say enough; forget what these hipsters believe, they're searching for reasons to dislike it. The very fact they've needed to think about the most insignificant things of the series to actually base their dislike and review off, is childish.
The series is simple - kill the demons. Why does…

*spoilers for Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen and Yuukaku-hen
Kimetsu no Yaiba's ultimate downfall can be quickly surmised as an attitude problem. The series's lack of respect for its audience or characters, its incessantly speedy pacing between arcs, and its inane humor can all be boiled down to this singular, core problem. Its sheer lack of restraint can be felt from that attitude problem as well.
What made Mugen Train function was its limitations which forced the series to straighten up and dial back in all the bullshit which made the first season largely intolerable. However, this second season, Yuukaku-hen slips back into some of these old habits while bringing brand new issues into the fray.
Let's start with its attitude regarding the death of Rengoku: the Fire Hashira from Mug…

Honestly, this anime ended on my birthday so yea, but the art/animation is really clean I really like and the storyline is nice but I'll probably have to read the manga if I want to see what happens next. I like to say it was very nerve-racking watching this because half of them were on the brick of dying, but these side stories that were in anime show how things happen and make it understandable. So yea I never really write reviews but this ended on my birthday and it just feels special to write this review because it was good while watching it and I just wanted to. <3

Is this all it takes?
My only question is that, can the author try something new? I've never seen a narrower imagination, I simply cannot fathom how can you be this lazy as an author, let's put every single garbage aspect of this show aside, and talk about the events only.
First big arc of kimetsu no yaiba, demon slayers running after the supposedly moon-thingy demon, they kill him but... Wait... It actually wasn't him!!! He wasn't the main villan of this arc.. Damn, never saw that one coming.
OK second big arc, demon corps fighting main villan of this arc and let's Fucking GOOOOOO they murdered him, oh really? You're telling me he wasn't the main villan of this arc again? Dammit, the author can't possibly use this lazy ass scenario again, right? right…

GOD-LIKE SEASON: The-hype ⚡ never-ends.
Demon Slayer were famous for some of the most legendary episodes in Animes. From now on, they will referred to as one of the most Epic Series in the Anime History of All Times!
Now, as this season has been ended, I've completed my full review on it. Even if you haven't seen the previous seasons before, you can still free to read it, as it doesn't contain any spoiler.
Revel in;
I wasn't expecting myself reviewing Kimetsu no Yaiba. Even though I liked the first season, I had mixed feelings about the concept of the show. Is it gonna be refreshing? Or is it gonna be the same over-used shounen again? Is it only the art style that will separate this show from the others? Speaking of the art, I also thought that the art was weird at first, instead of…

Carried by the animations. It is what it is.
Story 2/10
In short, they go to a town, become women, "hunt" down the three wives and demons, fight and end it off with a "touching" ending. The flashback was somewhat decent to learn about but might need to take lessons from Black Clover (only real fans who don't skip fillers will know what I'm on about.) After episode 5, when the fight started, it started to get interesting and actually good compared to the first few episodes which, in my opinion, were a joke. Episode 1 took 45 minutes to introduce Tengen Uzui and talk about their journey to the new location to kill a demon. That's all there is.
Art 6/10
A studio what some people refer to as the "unlimited budget studio" and are designing/animating certain episodes like it's a special or som…

Several people tend to discredit Demon Slayer just because it is overrated, overhyped and has cringe moments. I'm not denying those. In my opinion, these statements reinforces the anime itself. Why, you may ask?
People say it is overrated because of its animation. Well, I think this is the anime's strongest point. You have to be literally blind for you to not bask in Ufotable's prowess when it comes to animating every scene. It does excel in other areas, such as the music and score, where Aimer effortlessly delivers bops that I listen repeatedly. In a sense, I'm glad that people who say Demon Slayer is overrated because they are complementing it.
People say it is overhyped because those who have watched the series have excessively talked about it to others that it may have triggered clos…

Have you ever heard of demon slayer? Yes, that anime which everyone loves and calls a masterpiece, one that will be written down in the history as one of the best shonen's to have ever existed. Its for sure that its gonna happen but is demon slayer really worth it? Simple Answer, fuck no.
This has been a complete down hill after it's first season which unfortunately also wasn't very pleasing to me. But. This is worse. All of the problems from last season continue, we get even more asspulls but the best episode now being one from this season, demon slayer is nothing but rotten food that just sickens you.
For one, it has the same generic, overused and absolutely garbage formula that not only makes a predictable story but one that has very little to enjoy about, no, no. I take that back! I…

**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS**
Oh boy…
There are two sides of a coin if you’re talking about Kimetsu no Yaiba;
- Either love and enjoy it for the animation.
- Or dislike it for the bad characters, cringe comedy, and the poor storytelling
Animation is one of the main factors of an anime. However, how can you enjoy the anime if the plot or the story is poor? This leaves these two words that wise men always said; “Does the animation triumph a mediocre writing?”. “Can you ignore one to enjoy most of them?”. One of the confusing parts of the anime community is that if a franchise really sold well to the viewers, they will claim it a “masterpiece”. And Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of them.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: Entertainment District Arc is the sequel to the first movie of the franchise.…

I tried to be patient during the first season and the movie. Now Demon Slayer plagues me again with another season of little progression glossed over with pretty animation. Season 2 for the most part was a recycled and worse version of season 1 because it still has the same problems but made even worse. Season 2 never came close to topping the greatness of episode 19 in season 1, and the last episode was terribly disappointing. The most impressive animation scenes are the only hollow like enjoyment I could get out of this. I can't give it praise. At most it's a guilty pleasure. Giving poorly written and developed demon a flashback was a mistake. How about the author write a good villain instead of preying on the viewer's emotions and forcing them to care this way? I waited for Nezuko to gr…

WARNING: This review is gonna be FLASHY!!!!
Without further ado, onto the review (I’ll mark from where the spoilers start, so don’t worry. Continue reading this with the same amount of confidence that Zenitsu gets when he starts sleeping.)
What do you get when you mix an amazing plot and harmonious soundtrack with unreal animation? You get Demon Slayer. I believe I don’t have to explain how much hype there was for Season 2, and I can confidently say Ufotable delivered more than expected. The animation was a blessing for the eyes, containing some of the best battles animation has to offer. The fluid fights resonated with every atom of my body, making it pump out that adrenaline faster than Muzan could get pissed at his demons. Hopefully even the haters can agree, the animation is straight…

Pinnacle. Zenith.
THE GOAT.
Demon Slayer is the undisputed impeccable face of shounen. Everything about Demon Slayer is of ultimate quality. Despite the common horde of "criticism" the anime gets, Demon Slayer is the anime that has left a name for itself. It will be on countless top 10s, it will be the classic of the future, it will live as eternal memory in the anime timeline. Anime so good I can assure you Japan is never going back into recession with this goat's existence. But anyway, before I get into the actual review, I'd like to do some talk on the community as a whole with fiction such as Demon Slayer.
It is clear to just about anyone who uses forums, reads reviews, or just chat with friends, will find that people wil…

**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FROM SEASON 1 and THE MOVIE**
After a long wait Ufotable finally graces us with demon slayer's new season. Honestly speaking I wasn't that hyped about Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen). People often call this anime overrated, is it though? Let's discuss
Story: 6
Well there are many points I can defend Demon Slayer on but one part on which not even it's hardcore fans can't debate is it's story. It has a pretty basic plot an MC who was a normal kid before but due to some unfortunate incidents he became a Demon Slayer. It's basically the same plot we see in various action shounen anime, kinda generic though. Despite of that it does few things different from other shounen's though it's not enough to make it stand ou…

What makes a good show?
The pacing, the plot, the characters, the themes, the execution, the direction, the music, the voice actors, the animation. These are all common things people point to when defining what is and isn’t a good show, and for good reasons. They are criterias that allow individuals, each with their own unique perspective, to gain a better judgement at differentiating the good from the bad. However with so many factors contributing to the success of a show, it comes as no surprise for people to cherish these factors differently.
‘Demon Slayer is only good for its animation’
‘Without ufotable, Demon Slayer would just be another mid anime’
But does a show need to perfect every factor to be good? No it doesn’t, because what is crucial to the success of a story, to a show,…

Contains some mild spoilers.
"Demon Slayer is carried by its animation"
A common take that haters of this show love to spew, but how true is it actually?
Demon Slayer S2 picks up immediately where the movie leaves off with the main trio and now the sound hashira going to the "entertainment district" to kill a demon residing there. It introduces us to the new Sound Hashira, and also new villains, in the form of a pair of brother-sister demons.
It goes without saying that Demon Slayer's fight scenes look spectacular, i dont think i need to spend much time praising the visuals or its choreography. When people talk about or hype up Demon Slayer, this is the first thing that comes to mind. While Demon Slayer may not be Ufotable's best work (that goes to Heaven's Feel in my opinion), it…

*out-of-context spoilers*
People always say Demon Slayer is only popular thanks to its dazzling animation, but I completely disagree. When you actually sit down and watch it, you just see some generic, uninteresting shounen, and yet everyone acts like it’s this incredible masterpiece, so why the massive difference in opinion? It must be the flashy animation, right? Personally, I doubt it, because shows with good animation are ignored just as often as shows with bad animation are propped up. The most well-animated show of last season was Ousama Ranking, and it wasn’t even in the top five most popular shows of the season here on MAL. The most well-animated show from last Summer was Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S, and conversely, it was in the top five. Spring was Vivy, and it wasn’t. And Wi…
