The fact that Ufotable have added more scenes to the fights to really flesh them out and give them so much more weight than the manga genuinely makes it one of the few cases where the anime is better than the manga. Most of the final fight scene between Uzui and Gyutaro is unique to the anime and it elevates it to another level.
its good that they did it and yeah the anime is better than the manga but thats also good cause the world and characters are on another level and the coloring so its only nice to see that ufo gave demon slayer this chance and they didnt regret it
Anime is better than manga in most cases except Toei…
@@MrHagatama oh hell yeah xD
@@MrHagatama not true at all😬 most adaptations are not better than the manga.
@@fern3114
sorry.
Toei or Deen.
When Nezuko jumped up to spike Ume's head like a fucking volleyball and proceded to give her a biblical beatdown, I damn near jumped out of my chair, and that was like 4 episodes before the finale. You really cannot overstate how incredible this show is at this point.
Funnily enough, you just did.
the thing that took me by suprise the most was that Inosuke rearranged his organs-
@@catfighter5879 It's been done in a ton of animes by this point lol
@@catfighter5879 whats wired is that these organs would have muscels attached to them that can move them around and normal organs dont have them
@@kingwilliamlobo this anime’s humans are just stronger and faster than normal, with abilities of course but they’re bodies are still human. Really surprised that he was able to do that
Ufotable really said "fuck the budget, I'll do what I damn well please" and dropped probably one of the best anime seasons in years on our asses
Fr dude
they still have a budget but its insanely large. some of it is also funding from the prime minister of japan who is a demon slayer fan and pledged to fund it financially in any way possible
@@xsnappyz148 dude are you serious?
I heard there was tax evasion involved, but they paid it all off. Do your own research before casting judgement though.

What an amazing video about demon slayer!
My favourite part of this video was from 9:35 to 11:03
probably got copyright striked...
@@jaychen6096oh yeah, I was wondering what had happened thnx
I especially love the music in that part
The sound got cut off
I think you bring up a really good point with its simplicity. I was having a conversation with my friends and how one of the oddest thing about Demon Slayer was that there was no true internal falling out in the organization. There was no Danzo or Orochimaru, no Aizen, no corrupt world government, no secret assassination in the jujutsu organization, no spies pretending to be heroes. Shonen series love having these big organizations having huge internal strife in them and Demon Slayers are just like, nah, the Hashiras got each other's back.
And then there is
Spoiler
KAIGAKU
The simplicity that all demon slayers actually hate the demons, and live for the sole purpose of.... well, slaying demons.
@@yuvrajganguly i hate that mf
@@VihlaRiku almost like they have personal vendettas against the demons or them being a descendant of demon slayers and just want to continue to honor their family legacy 😂.
I would love someone to go into detail like this on one of Gigguks video's just like this one lol
Demon slayer is really what I wish we could see in the future of how anime production is tackled. Taking your time and creating an amazing product is so much more worth it that producing actual mid like MOST anime are.
Yes
I just want my hero to get this treatment,so badly🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I wish the same but I feel like those studios gona go bankrupt after a few anime production. They don’t make much off of the tv series.
And I wish that anime fans had the same thinking as you! Like i feel like it’s hard for certain studios to get decent production schedules with big companies and impatient fans constantly rushing them. And there’s nothing more blood boiling 😠 than fans complaining about “BaD aNiMaTiOn” when it’s actually ‘bad’ art, due to having production issues. I don’t watch Demon Slayer but while it’s clear that Ufotable loves DS, it’s their production schedule that allows for such eye-candy.
Hopefully going forward, anime studios can make workplaces a lot safe and healthier like Ufotable and KyotoAni
@@mcmeatymcbeaty9418 same bro. same
Season 2 of Demon Slayer reminds me why I like Shonen stories. Yes, the characters and story are simple, but sometimes you don't need depth to tell a good and entertaining story. Sometimes, I just want to watch our heroes struggle to overcome the impossible. I want to see them push themselves beyond their breaking point because they absolutely have to win. I want to see them earn their victories and celebrate.
Yea there's so many good movies without that much depth that people idealize yet so much shonen haters for the same reason.
There will be characters with deep stories in Demon Slayer in the next seasons.
@@runokati3668 ??? Who? Akazaka?
Hero Aca has something similar going on. There isn't a single character development moment in that show that I don't like.
Every single time you see one of them push beyond their limits it's ALWAYS exciting and feels fantastic.
Even something as seemingly simple as Kirishima reaching a new level of hardness is so well set up, animated and sound set that it makes you jump in your seat and spontaneously root for him.
@@carljohan9265 until you see the fandom
I’d say what’s making Demon Slayer so good is that it doesn’t have any ANNOYING *FILLERS*
oh my gosh fr, they actually stick to the plot rather than throwing in a random episode that doesn't even help the story line 😭 respect
@@triggeredfishthepug yeah and any slower episode like the training montage after mugen train all pushes plot forward and has super relevant scenes like talking with rengokus brother and tanjiro and the silent girl
@@triggeredfishthepug that doesnt change how bad the plot is
or u can just skip fillers and watch a good anime
@@KadenFinity i like the plot?
Gyutaro is honestly my favorite Demon Slayer antagonist yet for how his relationship with Daki mirrors Tanjiro's relationship with Nezuko. He serves as an excellent foil and with his offer to turn Tanjiro into a demon even makes Tanjiro realize that he and Nezuko could've been the same had they gone down the wrong path.
I also like just how unrepentant he is. Even saying that he knows even if he was reborn he would still be a demon. He wishes his sister had a better life but he knows that he isn't redeemable and never pretends otherwise.
Honestly i think he's the only demon in the series that you can totally understand them becoming a demon. Rui had an extremely weak body but at least he had parents who loved him however, gyutaro has almost nothing he's poor, he's filthy and he gets bullied by litterally everyone for his looks. The only thing he has is his sister but even he thinks she's better off without him because she ends up getting burnt alive because of what gyutaro taught her.
Umeeeeeeeeeee
Wait till you see Akazas backstory...
@@mc_3232 no dude one guy's writing fucking sucked man. It's tragic.
Agreed, Gyuu and Daki are far and away the best antagonists and that is a large part of why S2 has been the best part of the series.
My favourite part is that Ufotable's "One weird trick" is just having a Director of Photography to make sure all the scenes LOOK NICE AND GOOD. Obviously there's more to it but that's really the core
Fucking finally, that shit is so underrated istg, just the way shots are placed makes the scene so much more beautiful
What I love about the action scenes in Demon Slayer is that even if things get real chaotic and every colors are showing up in your screen, you can still see what is happening in the action. The fight is choreographed really well that you don't need to watch it at 0.5 speed to follow the action. And of course the artstyle man...
Mhm, i didnt even know there was a season two tbh *i read the manga after season one* and god even the manga stands quite high but that animation! Jaw is dropping!
I feel like not just in animation but in music too : the soundtracks to most of the fights are some of the best music I've ever heard in anime
Yea same here! The OST is awesome🔥
Fr the Demon Slayer intros and bangers and absolutely 🔥
The zenitsu theme is so cold 🥶 it just hits the classic dopamine receptors for me for some reason, a bit nostalgic for me now already I guess, you know what I mean by that, everyone had felt at least something similar like when you get goosebumps from in this case music, but it can be from other things too
AOT has the best OSTs but Demon Slayer is top tier as well.
@@EpicAlcatraz99 i do not remember a single ost from AOT other than the openings, and that's cuz it is overplayed on the internet
"YOU MERELY ADOPTED THE MID, WE WERE BORN IN IT, MOLDED IN IT" is now my favorite quote from Gigguk
It’s from the dark knight rises
All of that for a drop of blood
What is mid?
@@marioleon86 good
Mid
Bad
Basically it means mediocre
Born to be qiyana in mid
I agree
Demon Slayer's strength is in its simplicity. There's no one shoving some philosophy down your throat or anyone with some clearly overcomplicated plan. You just have relatable, fun characters (Both heroes and villains), a pretty clear power system and a solid plot.
I read the manga after season 1, loved it and yet, the anime surprises m over and over again, deepening that love
it does it so right and knows exactly what it is. demon slayer KNOWS that it’s very simple that why it exceeded
That's what I like about it. And can we talk about its power system? Like most Anime/Manga those systems can make or break it. Bleach or DBZ/Super is a prime example of that. And we also see exactly how hard our protagonists actually work to get to their level and we also get to see what the peak levels are by existing characters. We don't have Mary-sues
I’d be lying If I said Demon slayer isn’t great but I don’t like how they copy pasted something from Bleach, if you’re a manga reader you know what I’m referring to.
Also, the cast is underwhelming and the arcs are repetitive, but other than that it’s pretty good. Nowhere near one of the best though.
And that's exactly why I dislike it. There's nothing engaging about the show if the story is generic and follows a very typical shonen trope and quite frankly, I don't care enough about the animation for me to invest my time in it.
@@Ysqsh NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A GENUINE CRITICISM . THANKS BRO
I think that there's something beautiful to the simplicity of Demon Slayer's story. It's just sincere. There's no pretension or trying to act smarter than the audience, and there's a beautiful sense of compassion for every character. What you see is what you get in the best way. It takes a lot of humility, I think, to just tell a story like this without trying to over complicate it. Because it might not have sprawling intrigue or impenetrably deep themes, but it's the Shonen series I've most consistently been able to emotionally engage with. I think that there will always be value in a story that can engender empathy like this, to let you just be happy for, or sad for, or get angry on behalf of its characters. I think we'd lose a lot more if we forgot how to write stories like that than if we forgot how to write densely esoteric stories.
No, S2 is utter shit, 11 episodes of constant fighting, and whenever it should be over, it aint. It is just cash grab poor writing series with great effects. S1 was way better.
@@AnteBoss u must be fun at parties
@@AnteBoss nah even as a one piece avid fan myself, your statement is kinda over the top. I agree without that goated animation, s2 wouldn't probably be as hype but it's an okay storyline. It's simple and perfect for casual non-anime watchers
@@AnteBoss I have my own complaints about season 2, but calling it utter shit is not right.
@jagat samodra forreal
Why do people forget about the effing orchestra of this anime - the music in this anime is one of the best I have ever heard. And this is coming from a music tech engineer. It’s so good in every detail.
Yes! The music is fucking amazing too. That's what makes those jump out of your seat screaming moments. If it had a paint by numbers score it wouldn't work.
the song from episode 19 gives me chills EVERY TIME
Go shiina
The osts are amazing and the fact that every character and upper Demon have their own theme songs, when they battle their themes intertwine to give off a musical storytelling element that I’ve never really heard done. Most shows utilise an iconic main theme for huge moments, Go Shiina mixes the battle themes to give them a unique feeling and sense of urgency which is amazing. Especially for people who love listening to osts. Severely underrated score.
So many people these days just don’t know either how to keep they’re opinions to themselves or want to be trolls and inspire hate in every fandom they touch for me unless i really find an anime deplorable and not good every anime for me is always okay some people are too high on pride tbh
Watching demon slayer makes me feel at home. While i do like complex stories, ideas, and complex characters, I feel demon slayer has that element where you rest on your sofa after a long day work and just chill with your friends with a bowl of ramen noodles. You know the bad guys are going to go down. the story is amazing for me. every time i watch this anime I feel like tanjiro, nezuko, inoske, zenitsu are my friends and I am hanging out with them in the country side while killing some bad demons. it is a great feeling for me and i think this is where demon slayer's strength lies.
Nicest explanation mam 🙃
i mean they do lose wich is another great aspect like the rengoku fight
Plus handsome men
@@ragsrare3771 😂😂
People of All the world watch this anime but we say the same phrase for describing demon Slayer
This is fricking good
I'm happy that Ufotable has been getting the hype it deserves and I hope a lot of people also check out their previous work to see their improvement over the years.
Fate is garbage too
@@thepowerofthegodhand7003 They've done more than Fate and they help out with other studio projects too.
@@wombat4583 yes well know that. But my how point is this show is overrated. I seen the moive the anime . Sorry that can see that show cant just be carried by animation alone.
@@thepowerofthegodhand7003 idk if your talking about fate but IMO fate's story is better than the animation itself.
goated comment
Shows like Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer are rarities, and honestly I wish a lot of our old favorite shows would get the same treatment with great animation and no filler
dai no dauboken is currently doing that as well
i think the problem is the japanese system for promoting new ideas. I'm willing to bet there were ALOT of authors with amazing ideas that got scrapped bc of the system
Yeah imagine a good adaptation of black clover. Demon slayer wouldn't come anywhere close to it.
You guys are a bunch of casuals

@@cloudqxi thats what im sayin
As Garnt said, you’re gonna get beaten tf up for stating your opinions about any show. Except if it’s about complimenting Demon Slayer’s music and animation.
first time i’ve been your first like :)
You got verified
Did the man actually get verified
Yea cool but still isnt anything special to me. The story gives nothing to look back at follows the formula and is simple yes but all that does for me is turn me off whenever I see something cool animation and music dont make a show for me and they never will something is only a masterclass when it masters all aspects and delivers hype through animation and hype through connection and emotional weight. The latter kind will always be better than shallow hype with good animation and music to me.
And now start beating me up because Imo, demon slayer is still just good nothing more 7.5/10
It's mid😜
While we know that most demons will be defeated by the slayers, the Mugen Train arc showed us that the Upper Six are not to be taken lightly. Just when you think one is defeated, it turns out he just punched thru a man sternum. The Hasihra, while powerful, struggle quite a bit to match the Uppers. Before the final slice, I wasn't even sure if they would claim a solid victory. Even after they beat them, there's no promise that the hashira would survive.
I just wish that when Tengen was trying to give his final words, everyone wasn't drawn chibi. I read the manga so I knew, but I would've loved just a few more seconds of "is he going to make it?"
I mean we saw Nezuko heal Inosuke already so there was no point in keeping that mystery up anymore.
True, though I'm still surprised that he didn't die of blood loss. The damage he took in the fight was insane.
Yeah, but we know our MC is gonna win.
@@ucmanhvuong4301 Yeah that doesn't work on injuries only demon arts
Also most of the hashira's are gonna......yk
I think the incredible accomplishment of this series so far isn't just that the animation is "over the top;" rather, their accomplishment is that they've actually embodied all of their passions and care in Demon Slayer. Like, I would love to be able to say something like, "Man, if only One Punch Man (or insert any other battle anime in here) were animated like this." The problem with that kind of statement is that Demon Slayer's style is so iconic and unique that the same visual effects wouldn't have the same impact in other stories. However, what CAN and SHOULD be replicated is the top-tier love and attention this studio has given to their work. We can't expect every studio to conform to this kind of style, but we should expect studios to care about how their decisions impact the reception a story or fight will get. Any anime can have a similar, jaw-dropping effect if it's animated with enough intentional awareness and attention to the finer details. Demon Slayer is the embodiment of an anime that the animation team really cares about.
I mean OPM S1 DID have good animation. It's why S2 felt lacking and lost popularity because S2 did not. People loved S1's animation a lot.
@@RuneKatashima definitely. There were also some impressive moments in S2, but it generally fell short of some of the hype and detail that S1 left behind.
OPM Season 1 animation is top tier quality, people got bummed when s2 came out because s1 was THAT good
The animators really make the most of the Taisho-era setting, too. It's pure art.
Ohh my god!I too had this same thought that if One Punch Man was animated by Ufotable wouldnt it have been so much better?
the entertainment district arc was damn beautiful no matter what haters say! Demon Slayer deserves the hype for being this well animated and not skimping on any details.
Yesss
@Rohan Dasgupta Watched with your eyes closed.
All demon slayer is, is good animation and SFX. That's it. It is a low standard and a hot pile of burning garbage compared to some other animes.
@@Mk2kRaven rewatch the video, you're one of the guys he is talking about 😁😁
@@Mk2kRaven What other anime's pls
My favorite part in Demon Slayer Season 2 was the scene with Tengen and Gyutaro just screaming and slashing at each other towards the end. It just felt like, to them, nothing else mattered except the next slash. Their faces showed how absorbed they were into the fight, and how badly they wanted to win. It was something that simple, and that pure, that would make me look back on Season 2 fondly. That and the whole character dynamic with Uzui and Rengoku, and how Rengoku was essentially a Symbol of Peace like All Might.
Same
That was basically DBZ xD
As someone who finished the manga, I gotta say, Demon Slayer is one of the best simplistic stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading through. It definitely earns its uniqueness along the way with particular choices that I've never before seen in Shonen, and the characters do have a good level of depth to them (which is impressive consider how simple they generally are). Where I think it delivers the best tho is at giving a great complete story, a full journey, of not just the protagonist but of the world he submerged himself in. It keeps getting better story-wise from here, and you have epic battles yet to come. If UFOtable manage to get all the way to the end with this as an anime adaptation with THIS level of choreography on multi-layered fights with multiple people... holy fucking shit the future is BRIGHT, its SHINING, you think you got your eyes burnt yet? You have yet to stare at the sun itself.
Spoiler warning for all the comments below!
I'm waiting for the Hashiras fighting together to be animated 🔥🔥
Nothing better than a simple shounen with good production
That upper moon 1 fight is gonna have Season 1 Episode 19 + Tengens fight levels of hype.
I think tanjiro becoming a demon is just a cliche,shoulda just end it with muzan dying and it should be fine lol
I loved that Gigguk mentioned the team fights. I was impressed with it in mugen Train arc but then those back to back episodes of tengen and the gang inter mixing was amazing. It also made me very confident that I can expect the future team battles to be as dynamic as this ones. I can’t ducking wait!
Exactly. That’s what everyone misses. You don’t need it to be “complicated” to be good. If anything, the “complexity” of a lot of animes are super convoluted and unrealistic (even within their universe). Demon Slayer is straightforward in a simple, beautiful way. The story and motives are great enough to make it a classic and all time great.
Yeah just like Doom you don't need multipel way to beat a stage you just need one way the fun way
What's great about this is that the simplicity of the anime made a huge room for animation production, which made a huge compensation for storytelling. It's not best in the story, lore, and plot, but it makes up for a great eye feast and entertainment.
Eh, I personally don’t see it being a classic because of its story. Once it fixes some stuff then maybe.
100% true! Not every series needs to be so freaking complex and deep that needs a 5-page essay every episode to understand what's happening just to be considered "yep, this anime is good". The animation and music compensated for the simple, straightforward story *reaaal* hard.
i mean its okayish but all time great? dbz, naruto, one piece, gintama, jojo, hxh, yu yu hakusho in front of these ds is just like just .. trash
The thing about Demon Slayer is that it's not only a beautifully animated series, it is also filled with simple, but meaninful messages. When I started watching season 1, I was in one of my lowest points. I almost died cause of kidney complications, a doctor raped me while I was in the hospital, then my ex boyfriend left me, and I also was having family issues. My life was in shambles and I was thinking of giving up and almost took my life. A little later in the way of recovering I discovered the series, and heard Giyu say: "Don't grovel like that and give your enemies the chance to kill you. All your doing is making yourself vulnerable... The weak don't get to make choices, all they can do is be relendlesly crashed by the strong... Don't cry, don't succumb to sorrow, this isn't a time of despair, I know it hurts, I understand. There's no way to turn back time. Feel the rage. The powerful, pure rage of not being able to forgive will become your unswerving drive to take action" it was almost as he was saying it to me, and I swear I felt a shift in my heart. Now I live by those words, and three months after of almost dying, I'm finishing my bachelors degree, going to therapy, went back to work, and going to the gym. This show was trully life-changing for me. I devoured the series, identified with Tajiros's heart, and fell in love with so many characters!
PD. Honary mention to Rengoku's last words. And sorry for any spelling errors, english is not my first lenguaje :)
I can deeply for what you went through and congrats very few heal from that hope you have a amazing life stay strong
It must have been hard for you glad you cross Through this series...

S2's animation quality was so consistently top tier that at some points I forgot how good it was. It's almost too much to appreciate fully.
thats such a perfect way to put it, i thought exactly the same thing!!
Something I'll never forget are coming back every Sunday for another Demon Slayer episode and watching it to come back on Twitter and talk about the sheer hype with everyone around me as if we all just watched a movie, if Ufotable somehow keeps this up then this series without a doubt will end up staying one of my favorites of all time and I wouldn't trade it for anything

Bro how do you read demon slayer and think it's next level stuff, as a manga it's so mediocre to decent at best. The anime is another level but absolutely nothing stands out in the manga besides the style.
SPOILERS
Not to mention the ending is boring with a weird Harry Potter ass epilogue lol
@@KingR098 I feel you on the ending, it was kinda wack, plus they killed my favorite dude too, but I felt like the manga was pretty crazy altogether, maybe that's just me tho
@@KingR098 I liked the manga. The themes and story weren't anything super complex, but it was well carried out. Characters were likeable and fights were exciting. Actions had consequences, but not to the point that it makes the story depressing. Akaza's arc really brought on the feels. I wouldn't call it next level, but it's a good manga. In fact, I'd call it the Harry Potter of manga, not the best in the genre, but it serves as a good starting point for newer readers wanting a good read.
@@flamelover1746 i think harry potter is an apt comparison. it's not really anything special, but it does the fundamental stuff well enough to garner universal attention - only for Demon Slayer the visual medium really REALLY elevates it whereas harry potter movies were cool but no one would argue the movies are better than the books lol.
I wasn't 100% on board with this anime until like, episode 13ish when Inosuke joined. at that point, it became another level with the comedy and chemistry between the 3 young slayers. The art and combat was just BRILLIANT. And S2 was ALL GAS no BRAKES. I was for real hooked because there was no stop action for like 7 episodes in a row.
Same! Inosuke was the one that got me to cave in and watch it. Glad I did, he's such a gem. The anime really took off for me once he appeared. Tengen just took it to the next level. They're definitely in my top 20.
so basically dumb = funny.. ok then
@@TheScarletBoi
SpongeBob and Patrick is so dumb that make we laught at them
Mr Bean too

I think what makes Demon Slayer stand out is that its simplicity just feels right. There is no need to fully immerse yourself in anime mechanics like in Dragonball, One Piece, or Black Clover. Its a story of a young boy who wants to turn his sister back into a human and ends up joining an group of demon fighters.
Exactly
If you think about it, it actually kinda needs it, breathing techniques are really important in Demon Slayer but the thing about it is that you don't need to know all the names of all the moves
Because Demon Slayer at this point is still at it's infancy,, and it'll die before it became matures.
There's sign that the author wanted to expand the "breathing whatchamalit" eventually like how Tanjiro can mix the Sun and water breathes, or latter info-drop about breathing being branch or shit.. but like most demon slayer plot point it'll get discarded and forgotten due to the rushed ending.
But if the story keeps going on I won't be surprised if each of the member develops their own unique breathing techniques eventually
@@JeSt4m "It'll die before it matures", my guy the manga is one of the most sold in the planet and it already ended, also Demon Slayer's popularity at this point is self sustaining so it's not gonna die anytime soon
@@JeSt4m Bro what? This show most likely will never die before it's anime is finished and that's a fact
I love how even though it is a clear cut good-guy / bad-guy dynamic, the bad guys are still presented as people, sure, twisted, evil, and broken people, but people never the less. The fact Tanjirou can see this, and accepts it, but he never lets it cloud his judgment, and even if he feels compassion for them, he wont forgive their crimes, THIS, just makes his character all the stronger and more realistic to me (Though to be fair, the guy has something wrong with his head, nobody is that extreme without being atleast a little broken inside, in the traumatic sense).
I do wish there were more enemies that had history with the protagonists that wasn't established in the same episodes they came into conflict. I love when the fights have layers beyond 'demon gonna kill we gotta survive and kill back'; it's a shame we usually only get the full backstories of the demons when they die instead of before the battle.
I'm anticipating that the eventual showdown with Muzan (and Akaza) will have much more emotional weight than this arc, not saying that these fights weren't emotional or incredible to look at.
I fell in love with...everything in the entertainment arc. Loved Gyutaro and Daki story. Loved Gyutaro especially like, good antagonist writing and the voice acting!
but the "family power" shit is annoying like bruh every time he gets clapped a family member appears and tells him to keep fighting

I read the Red Light District arc a few months after season one ended as I was extremely hyped up. I was satisfied with the story, however season 2's animation amplified the story to new levels and, thankfully, I forgot a few key moments and was left in a state of shock / awe. Grateful to be alive to witness such a fantastic piece of work be adapted so lovingly.
like he said on one of his videos the manga doesnt do the anime justice
There's a reason why Ufotable get this amount of respect. Just look at the work they've done. I still remember well watching the Mugen Train movie with my friends, the chills I got during the final moments of the Rengoku v Akaza fight, the last dying speech of Rengoku and then his final smile of pure joy . Ufotable made Rengoku my most loved anime character with just a 2 hour long movie even after I've watched like 250+ animes. Ohh gosh, THANK YOU UFOTABLE FOR EVERYTHING ❣️
P.S. - I'm a big Fate fan too
I remember shedding a tear when Rengoku died (in theaters). I purposely didn't watch demon slayer (the show) for years (at this point) because I was saving it for (idk). Watching the Mugen train arc again after seeing the build up of the characters reminds me that THE REAL WORLD needs more Kyojuro Rengoku.

To add to your point of some scenes just "taking your breath away", in my opinion the demon slayer's power system being all about breath is by all means a perfect choice ... if maybe only for the anime adaption. On several occasions when the hype is rising and the scenes get intense, that one "*sucks breath in before technique*" will draw in the audience to do the same, as if trying to prepare them for what is to come, drawing you into the scene even further. It is, in a way, managing to extend the reach of a scene beyond video and audio to an almost physical level, you somehow feel what the characters are feeling.
And to me, your average weeb who can't help but whisper along with "Ito Shura" or "Bankai" when it happens, that is as perfect as it gets.

The reason why Ufotable's work stands out is because they have a dedicated digital team that blends their 3d animations with their 2d animations. Their studio has a lack of walls, allowing each department to work closely together on creating visually appealing frames and to build a strong sense of rapport. Before anyone says it, no, they don't have unlimited budget, they get the same amount as any other studios. Ufotable focuses on quality, not quantity.
Canipa Effect videos cover a bunch on Ufotable and the interview with Yuichi Terao, Chief of Ufotable's Digital Team on Anime News Network. Also yeah the CEO did pay back the tax evasion scandal. He did it to invest in his animation team and to keep his animation company afloat, while its bad it makes sense.
Use your money to pay your employees not the government
this is why i call ubw unlimited brain works instead of budget works. not only does it sound better it also is more realistic

@@loreleimonn3220 I am aware that this video is two years old, but I feel compelled to address the ongoing overrating of this show. In my opinion, it lacks writing quality, and I urge viewers to explore other series that demonstrate superior storytelling. While the animation may be impressive, it cannot compensate for the show's narrative shortcomings. I have read the manga series and was underwhelmed by its quality, failing to understand the hype surrounding it. The show's lore relies heavily on familiar tropes, giving the impression that a child wrote it. I question whether you have watched other anime series, as your response suggests a defensive bias towards this show.
Watching Demon Slayer feels like watching a sporting event, especially when the slayers are fighting an upper moon demon. You get excited when the team is up, antsy when they're down, and then cheer when you know that a head is about to to roll. It's a good time.
I started watching Demon Slayer many months back, but cancelled it 2 times before I finally got myself to continue a few more episodes. Everyone and their mom was hyping this show. It couldn't be that good, right? I was never so wrong before in my life. I remember the exact moment where this show became one, if not my all time favorite anime. It was when Zenitsu had his first fight in ep 12. I have watched that scene well over 20 times already, but I still get goosebumps every single time. I binged through the entire show within 2 days and I couldnt think of anything else for several days after finishing Season 2. The agony of having to wait 1 or 2 more years for the next season is undescribable.
Well lucky you, they already announced season 3 will be in 2023
Yo, reading the manga is the most goosebumps I've gotten in my life, almost all the characters have amazing backstory and you get to understand them from their point of view and their hardships and it was just so beautiful, i def recommend you reading it
A lot of people are like you tbh. They got bored in the first few episodes but Zenitsu's fight brought back the spark to continue watching the series lol it was goooood
Bro if u loved it so much u should consider reading the manga IMO its a masterpiece and I’m sure u will enjoy it

The animation is arguably the best, and with a good yet simple story that easy to understand, the casual fans will really get into it, it's a great combo to be main stream.

I think what makes demon slayer work is that the story is, very easy to follow and digest with the seasons being broken up. It gives the viewers amount time to digest and anticipate.
the easy story is just poor writing lol
Based on my analysis of the manga, I have concluded that Demon Slayer does not meet the expectations generated by its popularity. While it is unrealistic to expect perfection from all anime series, Demon Slayer exhibits significant shortcomings in fundamental storytelling elements. It is questionable whether the Mugen Train arc would have achieved the same level of acclaim if it were animated by Studio Deen and JC Staff, rather than Ufotable. I suggest that you consider broadening your anime repertoire, as your strong affinity for Demon Slayer may be limiting your exposure to other series that could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the genre. Engaging with a diverse range of anime would enable a more informed evaluation of Demon Slayer's relative quality.
For me I felt like season 1 was extremely overhyped because of episode 19. Mugen train got me more invested in the show and the Entertainment district arc finally had me obsessed with the show. I really despised the main 3 in the first arc because of the shouting especially when they all did it together which very much improved in s2 😅 but the show has really grown on me to the point I probably overhype it now haha with how much I love it. (PS overhyped doesn’t mean hate I’m just referring to how a lot of the time people reference ep 19 in everything about s1, I’ve really enjoyed Demon Slayer overall especially after this last arc)
It's so sad that people like you would hate on an anime just because it's popular. 😒🙄😡 (Jesus fuck, I thought that this reply being sarcastic was glaringly obvious, especially In the ones after this one I made it as obvious as I can, but anime fans are just mentally slow, I guess because I got my notifications blasted by 50 anime fans running on 8 braincells, so please stop.)

One thing I really appreciate about Demon Slayer is how it makes every big fight genuinely feel like a desperate struggle for the heroes. The upper rank demons are way stronger individually, and the only chance the humans have is through teamwork and pushing themselves to the absolute limit. Plus there's almost always a major sacrifice made by someone to win, whether it's their life or just being horribly injured/maimed.

"it's how well you can execute the simple stuff" I used to be one to say demonslayer is only that good because of the art, but that quote really does put things into perspective. they didn't need all the crazy storyline that other anime's have because they executed the simple stuff so well it's just purely enjoyable for anyone to watch.
To me, the reason Demon Slayer is so well received is because it is so incredibly sincere that it almost hurts. All the Demon Slayers are so damn convicted to their goal of destroying the demons and saving people that it's honestly so heart warming in our day in age where everyone always has an angle they are trying to exploit. The characters care to such a degree that people can't help root for them even while making jokes about the show being "cringe". Demon Slayer is a show that makes you stir in your seat because you can remember a time when you believed in something so deeply and purely as a child does, before we became calloused and disillusioned.
No
Yes.
So many series do that they is literally so many series like that which asks the question why is this series that really is not special apart from the good af animation topping the charts and causing so much controversial
Exactly
The first fucking demon slayer we are shown is controversial that it flips my mind.
The sheer cathartic release they gave the audience with that double beheading is not only a masterclass in animation, but directing and writing, too. The plot of the show might be simplistic, but the execution of that story is anything but.
The simplicity is what makes it so lovable, it doesn’t need some 10D plot, it doesn’t need to be complex and impossible to understand, because overall, they executed the plot in a way that makes it great

No, S2 is utter shit, 11 episodes of constant fighting, and whenever it should be over, it aint. It is just cash grab poor writing series with great effects. S1 was way better.
I think Demon Slayer's simplicity is what made it explode in popularity. When every shounen anime headed into weirder (JoJo) and more complicated (JJK) plot elements, nobody else was trying a sure fire way to rile up every weeb. Katanas with elemental powers? Why is there not an anime of that yet? It's so obvious and ufotable animating it only made it more popular.

As someone who (as with 99% of other people here probably) started out with Anime when I was a wee lil' lad with Shounen like Naruto, I must say that Demon Slayer also feels fresh. It doesn't feel like this grand meandering journey through this insanely large world, but like a carefully curated show that moves from set-piece to set-piece. The thing that is definitely going to come around to bite my ass when the next season drops, is that I don't really remember the show for its story - it's the HYPE moments that really sell the show to me, which makes it really hard to remember what drew me in, when looking back a few years later. Hell, for this season I took so long to even REALISE that it was up, that I could binge every episode except for the last 2, and it was just absolutely marvelous.
Shout-out to the author for not turning Nezuko into some weird gimmick mascot like Sakura was in Naruto, but actually have her have a ridiculous fighting moment. From what I understand, currently Nezuko is hands down the strongest member of the main squad and I loved when she got to show off how strong she actually is. Hope she doesn't go back to getting the Sakura treatment in the future.
See thats where I find my issues with Demon Slayer. Animation is cool and all but a lacking story just pulls me out. Inosuke is like a saving grace and some others but overall I just find this lacking with a hidden potential that just won't get touched and its sad to me cause I can see so much better in it.
You can at least praise a show without downplaying others. Sakura is not a weird gimmick mascot, she is pivotal to the story.

Garnt's take on anime team battles at 5:00 was exactly what I was thinking while watching the series. There are times on usual anime team battles where I'd get bored because fights are separated and usually a battle between characters needs to be finished before it moves on to the other battle and this might take 1-3 episodes each which becomes a repetitive pattern and you'd lose interest wanting to get over to the main fight already.
I think the closest thing to an actual team fight in an anime other than this one that I've seen in recent memory is the final match of the Regiment du Cuisine in Shokugeki no Souma.
I love how this show really pays attention to how exhaustion works, sometimes when i see an anime they would get severly wounded and then just get up and get a new power and loose all the previous exhaustion from before.
honestly kny is such a breath of fresh air. no supernatural strength, we get to see how the characters train themselves to death. the outcomes are soo worth it.

Concur'd about the simplicity. But one other thing I like about Demon Slayer is that when it comes to plot, it does as much as it needs to. It's so easy to have a villain-of-the-week format full of quirky minibosses. Just, like... have the Hashira kill each demon, one by one, till they get to the big bad. But Demon Slayer... doesn't do that. By episode 15, we're fighting a member of the quirky miniboss squad. By episode 32, fully _half_ the quirky miniboss squad is dead, and we got a single climactic showdown with one of them that's easily worth six 1v1s. The show doesn't waste its time... or at least, it knows how to use its time SO well.
To be fair, a large reason for that is because it was almost gonna get axed multiple times and in the long run it created some legitimate issues with the plot and pacing by the end.
But I do also agree.
@@TenkDDyeah, I can see it. Stuff like Nezuko’s blood demon art and ESPECIALLY the Hinokami Kagura had sort of a plotkai vibe.

Ufotable's use of both 2D and 3D animation is top tier. It's pretty easy to screw up adding 3D elements to a 2D show, as it typically sticks out like a sore thumb. Yet for this, the 3D effects of the abilities add to the scene rather than detract, giving each attack more weight. Don't get me wrong, 2D animation is great. But there's a lot 3D has to offer, and it seems like Ufotable is pushing the boundaries of what animation can look like.
tbf Ufotable has been doing this for years and years, only they just keep getting better at it.
I am a master at detecting 3D elements, i watched too much of a certain show and now i recognize it almost instantly whenever i see it

BIG FAXXX!!! (FACTS)
Gigue?
Do you mean God?
@@ivanfurst4969 who's gigue? I only know giglue
i dont know about that
I was like,
"nah, how good can season 2 be."
Then I finished the 2nd from the last episode.
If I were to imagine how I looked, probably like a deer in headlights. Hair stood up, eyes watery, jaw on the floor, body locked and my mind in absolute disarray. Ive never had so many emotions play at once and I didnt know what to do. Found my self staring blankly deep in thought as the credits rolled. I was speechless.
My thoughts now, dont sleep on Demon Slayer, S2, Entertainment Arc. It is a masterclass of Anime. The story telling, the pacing, animation and stakes being at its absolute highest. It was level of its own.
With that said,
Id say, undoubtably, the best anime, Ive ever watched.
and then you get beaten the fuck up
To me attack on Titan is the best but sure thing demon slayer comes second
To each their own. I love Attack on Titan too but I lve Demon Slayer and Gintama more. Because of their empathy moments
Jaw on the floor made medie of laughter 💀💀💀💀💀💀
bro narrating his experience like a copypasta
I think Demon Slayer Entertainment Arc is the first anime that actually was so HYPED and intense that I was standing and screaming omfg most of the episodes! It was that insane!
When Tengen came in to save Tanjiro was one of 2 times I’ve ever screamed watching a tv show. I had literal chills
I almost have a breakdown when Inosuke got stabbed, shit was intense
Does anyone know why the video doesn't have any sound starting at 9:35?
Most comments don’t seem to mention this at all, so my best guess would be he used copyrighted music and recently got a copyright claim, which gives you the option to simply remove the copyrighted audio from the video instead of removing the entire video
@@chappieenzijnvriendjes6336 oh well that’s annoying
@@chappieenzijnvriendjes6336 Nah, he ejaculated
I am going to guess he started talking about how good the music is.
I don't know for sure, though.
I know the Demon Slayer openings are copyrighted.
The animation is truly God-tier.
I sure do hope the animators were paid well and treated like actual human beings. 🙂
Ufotable pay them well
One of the employee said on Twitter that everyone got a big fat bonus once the movie became a global hit.
Don't worry. Studios like Ufotable, Kyoani etc don't treat their animators like Mappa, liden films etc do.
Yep, Ufotable gives them bonus based on how good the end result is and they always pick a limited number of projects to work on and it will always be something they can use their animation style to the fullest.
The one currently killing their workers is MAPPA.
They getting that good tax evasion money
I used to love anime and then stopped watching because nothing really caught my eye. Until Demon Slayer came along. It absolutely captured me from episode one. It's so well balanced. You feel for every character, the story is amazing, and what caught me most: There's actually something at stake. Hashira aren't invincible, the threat is real, and the main characters HAVE to improve and get stronger. It's makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and it makes your jaw drop with how beautifully it's animated. It deserves all the hype and praise it's getting. Ufotable outdid themselves and dragged me right back into enjoying anime again.
Perfectly said 😎💚❤ (only thing I would have said aswell is it has the best 1v1 Fight I've ever seen in anything... Ep 19 since I'm watching the dub and s2 might even top it)
Legit the only other thing had more "hype", I would describe it as a rush of emotions, is the final fight in Endgame.
Ds was literally shit pre ep 19
@@marcojoestar212 True. He has not watched many anime so he said "nothing caught my eye"
This is a shit take honestly 💀
What i like the most about demon slayer's animation is the fact that they don't cut corners, or uses cheap tricks to save money and effort. The way they animated Daki's ribbons is my favorite
They use cheap tricks, there's a lot of cgi in the battles, it's just so well made you don't care about it
limited animation due to overwork, crunch, budget limitations and various more compromises are "cheap tricks" apparently
you have no respect for the artists behind these works.
it looks like blades during the fight and the ending portrayed it like tapeworm
And how many people are losing their health because of that
@@nathanyein its just wording dude, its not that deep
When I first started watching the show, I was not so sure about it. I remember thinking "this is nothing new, why is everyone talking about it". The more I watched, the more I enjoyed it and I couldn't find the reason why. Your video just explained why I loved that show so much despite its "simple" and "nothing new" vibe! Truly an excellent anime
I’ve always said that nothing can really be “overrated”
Everything comes down to personal taste and if a large group of people just really really enjoy something that doesn’t make a show overrated because you don’t find it as good. And I never knew why people would put other people down for liking something they just didn’t mesh with.
It’s all well and good to not like something popular just because you dont find it interesting, but there’s really no need to bash on it for being popular when you don’t like it.
You clearly don't browse social media that much(this isn't an insult btw, sorry if you feel like it is 😅). I hope you stay far away from Twitter Anime or any blogspot like anime Reddit 😂.
@@haiqal5333 no it’s because I’m on anime Twitter and social media in general that I’ve begun to think like this.
The internet is way too harsh on people and their likes / dislikes.
Nice thinking
Because some people are simply braindead sadly.
Fair point. If enough people like it, clearly its doing something right, even if you don't personally get it.
one of the things that drew me towards demon slayer was its simplicity, there's no over the top power system or anything like that, just fun characters and villians with an enjoyable plot and amazing fights
Something can be simple and still have deep themes. I would argue that is Demon Slayer in a nutshell. The reason so many people love it is because the themes ARE deep, but delivered in a simple, easy to digest way. Rengoku exemplifies the path of a hero, a symbol of human willpower, giving it his all even if it means death. Uzui fights, loses limbs, to protect the younger slayers and those that he loves. Tanjiro fights to help his sister, to right a wrong that he had no control over. Zenitsu trying to live up to his grandpa’s expectations, trying not to cower in the face of fear. Inosuke, wanting to be the best, even though he never had a fair shot at proper training. Wanting revenge on someone who spoiled his young life for him.
At some point, ALL of us deal with these types of themes, even if it is not in the exact same way. That is why people love Demon Slayer, even if they don’t know it.
None of what you wrote come remotely close to deep. Literally nothing but surface level basic analysis, similar to how every character in demon slayer is one dimensional and boring
@@judehaylesa you’re not too sharp. If a theme transcends time it is deep by nature. Almost all of these themes transcend time
@@user-ze6ns9pq2y how would something transcending time make it deep? Sorry for not finding helping people and anxiety that magically cured when you sleep deep themes bro
@@judehaylesa you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, are ya..?
@@ananthurevi1345 ?
this anime lives in my heart forever
We thought we were spoiled by Arcane's insane graphics... and then Entertainment District Arc happened.
Btw, that's one sponsor message I can really get behind!
We are in a new era of high quality production animation
Respect Arcane wtf?
goddamit, first spiderverse, then demon slayer, then arcane, then demon slayer again
what a time to be animation fan
@@matheussanthiago9685 you forgot about the mitchels VS machines, Sony studios just like spiderverse and completely different artstyle but so many good touches and small details that set it apart.
we also have love death and robots on Netflix from 2 or 3 years ago
Arcane just looked like a video game to me. I don’t see how it is more impressive than what Pixar has been releasing for years. Forgive me, but I just do not get the hype with Arcane, it was pretty boring and not anymore impressive than newer video games. I found Into the Spiderverse much more impressive.
There's nothing wrong with disliking a show because its not for everyone, nothing ever is but there is no one more annoying or insufferable than someone who constantly talks about how they dislike something popular. They think they need to open everyone else's minds shoving their opinion down the throats of the people who do like it and convince everyone they're right. Demon slayer is an amazing example of this because it has reached a level of popularity that no other anime ever has and the words of people who dislike it fall on deaf ears.
This
The worst part is you ask those same people what their favorite show or thing is and it’s something a normal person would consider absolute trash. They take pride in their trashness.
@@Profitglutton90 just shows they have mediocre taste
Yea thats anything thats popular tho, when i 1st watched this show there was not much on it, nobody really saying anything and like anything that gets fame also comes with hate for zero reasons.i willl never understand how people compare animes?? There not the same for a reason. I love anime period, i enjoy some and some i dont ITS SIMPLE
Thank you mate
I will say too, the minor tweaks to showcase the anime is well designed. In the manga, Tengen jumps in front of Tanjiro and it's pretty much just a shove and a "Tanjiro, jump and kill him." But in the anime, Tengen has a MOMENT to showcase his skills and give the animators room to show their skills. When I was waiting for this fight from the manga I was hopeful. My expectations were rolled up into a ball and shot out of a cannon, into outer space.
P.S - Can we get my boys over in Tokyo Revengers some insane animations pls pls pls
No shet tsukimichi
Tokyo Revengers with insane animation is but a dream
Tokyo Revengers is mid
There ain't much going on in tokyo revengers, it doesn't need a good animation.
@@YRO. true
Demon slayer animation 9/10
Story 5/10
Characters 3/10
My rating of it as a whole 6/10
If it wasn't for the animation this show would never have gotten any recognition
bruh characters are a 0/10 and story is like a 3/10
@@untagged-human Ah yes. You are a smart man.
The thing that gets me about Demon Slayer's animation isn't just that it looks incredible, but they kept it up for nearly 8 episodes straight without a visibile drop in quality anywhere.
Consistency is important. Kyoani, Ufotable, WIT, Cloverworks, etc always try to keep their show consistent as posible in terms of drawings.
@@gamebond6248 cloverworks.... Ain't they the studio behind 2nd season of promised Neverland?
@@locirnos cloverworks animation is good, its their pacing thats trash
Yep, and i personally need to give a thanks to fate series, i watched fate series from stay night route, and the moment i watched F/zero, oh boy, it's like i have seen evolution in animated industry just in a single franchise
And then UBW series just make it better, because i have clear comparison between movie (deen) vs series (ufotable). It was like when you play a game on PS2 and then you get a remake for PS4 xD
Well demon slayer is all good but it distracts you from the fact that bungee gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum
Even though the storyline is simple but when it comes to fighting the big villain,it has not only the beautiful animation but the voice actors along with the music,sounds and the tensions always brings out all the emotions in that particular fights which makes us really engrossed in that scene, i think that demon slayer's ability to make us feel the heavy stake of every fight is the reason demon slayer is top tier and this was not or hasnt been replicated by any anime yet
Props to Ufotable for taking risks in picking up this mid ass storyline anime! Goated studio in my opinion
Demon slayer is proof that as long as you have a strong narrative foundation, even a simple story can be beautiful.
Humans pushing themselves to their limit and working together to overcome foes of immeasurable strength. Its overall narrative scale is small, but it’s character interaction in writing really sell it.
Episode 9 and 10 have got to be some of the best episodes of anime, ever.
I'll second that
Rohan is 100% correct. The story is generic. And I do believe the only thing keeping this show as popular as it is, is the animation and SFX alone. Everything else is pretty mediocre and generic.
@@Mk2kRaven Chad opinion. Hard to find the people who like DS, but don’t put it on a pedestal.
It's all animation, that's all there is
Doesn’t matter if the story is ok the animation has me stuck like glue
Demon Slayer is Simplicity done right
There's no complex KH story telling. It's simple and captivating
One could argue that unlike KH, Demon Slayer's story is Simple and Clean.
@@QuantumLex SE looking at this comment in their sponsored video like motherfucker but to be fair Kingdom hearts was simple before now it isn't for sure
You could say it’s…. Simple and Clean 😏
…I’ll see myself out
@@QuantumLex i hate you (kidding)
8:37 but you should explain to your grandma thai it has both the properties of rubber and gum
6:55 I laughed WAY too hard at that stupid joke, but you're right.
Like holy heck this season really gave me insight into what these characters feel during battle. i felt the stakes. I felt their emotions. I really feel like I understood how bleak their situation was. How devastating these fights can be. It wasn't just another shonoun fight that ends and that's that. Even when it ended, it really didn't. the characters still had more to do, and they never knew whether they really had won until daybreak. For one brief moment, when Tanjiro was crying and asking if they'd won, and Tengen was screaming at him to run, I felt my whole soul quiver. I'm not exaggerating when I say how much this season impacted me, and felt as though even if they are the main characters, and they have plot armor regardless, they feel real, the stakes feel real, and the consequences feel real. Ufotable you really are a genius.
