@Erza Fanboy I love how people actually think their own opinions are absolute fact and that there isn't something called personal taste. makes me laugh. Anyways, people might see merit in places you don't, and you might see flaws in places where they don't matter to others, because their enjoyment overshadows the flaws. It's all relative. So shut up. I know you're just a troll, but this goes to all those who bring negativity whenever the so-called "generic overrated trash" shounen is praised.
@Erza Fanboy I am dissapointed that an anime I had once loved has fans this absolutely disgustingly stupid, if you think kimetsu no yaiba is a shitty series than why stay here and fck yourself up with angry 11 year olds like me and fck off yourself you immature, self-centered baby
The fact that Tanjiro literally had his whole family slain by demons and yet still is able to put out a smile show kindness and love to everything around him is tragic yet moving.
@@lightningzoldyck2974 Really I've only seen a few at best and even the MCs of the big three were pretty damn depress because their getting bullied or their mother died. Luffy is the exception he doesn't seem to care but he was pretty sad over (SPOILER ALERT?)Sabo death so I guess that counts
@@growarmygtvo8463 Dude, killing off the parents and showing kindness, love and empathy to even the enemy is the quintessential typical shonen trait. There's nothing new about this lol. People want to act like this anime is somehow unique to other shonens when it really isn't. It's a mediocre rehash of generic shonen traits with great animation.
@@girlsnightgirIsnight Honestly not much. Just in most harems it is Sweet Home Alabama to the extreme. Tbh, I don't think many brother sister relationships are explored in anime, most are brother brother or sister sister (all of these being platonic btw), at least from what I've seen. I haven't really seen many compared to some people. It is important to note, however, that it is rather common for a younger sister to have a crush on her older brother. This isn't always the case, but it does show up quite a lot.
The Anime is so good that the author of the Manga actually cried into tears of joy herself in how well received her series is, especially in episode 19.
TheMightySwooj Wow really, what a icon. Sorry about the misconception. I only know bits about her from the before word in the manga. It was rude of me to assume she was a boy. 😓
i don't watch the series but has he come across a demon that wasn't necessarily a threat or that he didn't necessarily have to kill? i think might be a test for him.
Yup it's this blind faith and irrational good morality that other MCs have that put me off shows. Stopped watching "That time I got reincarnated as a slime" because of it.
@@radmouse2936 No I just watched it to episode 17-18 of the anime and decided it was enough. I'm not gonna read miles ahead in the LN for some change. That doesn't make the show any better currently does it? Still poor MC writing imo.
The main theme of Demon Slayer, despite its title, is love. Love for your family, love for your friends, and how far you'll go for them no matter what. Tanjiro is the most human shounen protagonist I've seen in a long time; someone who wants to save his sister, who despite everything he's went through, only wants to stop others from suffering. He's willing to take all their pain, all their sorrow, and tries to replace it with peace, even if it is in their dying moments. Because he knows what it means to suffer agonizing pain at the loss of his family, he doesn't want anyone else to feel that suffering if he can help it. He wants to spread kindness and love, rather than hatred, and only strikes out in the name of justice for those that have suffered. What a beautiful message to send to the young, and also older, audiences that read Shounen Jump today.
To me, it's all about listening to the other's side of the story, understanding them. There's a reason why there are such ppl, it's because life was cruel to them and turned them into what they are. It shows how life's cruelties can manipulate a person into a monster, and this is brilliantly methaporized with the demons in the show.
to me i think it’s more of an understanding of what other people went through, and how not everyone is “born” evil. that’s why we see so many GOD DAMN backstories of random ass people, because then we learn and emphasize with those that we know the feelings of. thru the kindness of tanjiro, it allows us to genuinely know what these people went through and the hardships in doing so, it doesn’t necessarily justify their actions but perhaps offers an explanation. it’s like the lesson where you can’t judge anyone based on their appearance, they have a deeper meaning
I think Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke just have such great chemistry, especially in that episode where they rest and heal. Was very quickly hooked to this anime.
@@1.1.3.8 I think he thought or wanted the author to drag that into a whole arc of its own. I'd like that too, as it would lengthen the story, and I believe it(the manga at least) is at its final arc. I mean, it would be typical to make it longer and drag like any shounen anime, but it's been proven time and again the author doesn't follow the norm.
No it’s THAT TIME WHEN MICHAEL JACKSON REINCARNATED AS A JAPANESE DEMON AND TURNED MY LITTLE SISTER INTO ONE OF HIS KIND, THEN I JOINED DEMON SLAYING CORPS TO SEEK FOR MY SISTER’S CURE
Never understood why they went all out as they did with ep 19. The fight did absolutely nothing to rui, and giyu had to save nose boy's ass. I guess its because they knew people would flip their shit over pretty colors, to make up for a lackluster story.
@@Bruh_but_why not really though The fight did not do nothing to Rui he took alot of damage but that's not the important thing it showed the gap of the Mc and showed despite his strength and skills being already amazing it was still not enough to fight against the demons of the lower classes
In fact if the mc had won it would've been another cliché moment of Mc super strong suddenly despite only training for 2 or 3 years and beats bad guy who has terrified humans for decades
@@animateit8452 But how the hell did tanjiro know about god breathing? We can assume tanjiro's father knew about it, but we never see taniro actually training with god breathing. And even if he did, why did he learn water breathing if he can already use god breathing? Also, while we're on the topic, explain nezuko's asspull Its been shown that nezuko can get smaller to fit in her box, and we never see any other demons do the size manipulation, so we can assume it's her blood art, yet, she has her "exploding blood". So, she just has two abilities, because main cast privileges. Finally, my original point was that a meaningless fight had such quality production, what with the music and the two new abilities (Asspulls). But I sorta solved my own answer while writing this, so oopsies.
Zenitsu is not a pervert. He is just thirsty and believes he will die young so he must marry young. A pervert would try to grope girls, not propose marriage at random.
The series has almost no fillers. And when we get to see the characters in " breaking time" they actually keep training, see interacting with each other and such. In short, no chapter wastes time in the progression of the plot.
what i love the most is that every battle he wins, it doesn’t actually feel like a victory. there’s always some quiet sadness to it, and i always find myself wondering if there was any way to spare the demons he kills. even the most horrible demons still have sad pasts that make me empathise with them all the more. it’s brilliantly written
I love how he doesn't celebrate after killing a demon. We may say yes, but in Tanjiro's POV, no matter how evil they were, he didn't glorify their deaths. He just feels bad. He gives off that "I'm sorry" kinda look.
@@T_E_G Tanjiro is pretty much the embodiment of the quote "a true soldier fights, not because he hates what's in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him"
I don't agree with the "brilliantly written" part Yes a lot of the demons had sad pasts but we learn about them at the last seconds before they are being killed, making it feel more like a cheep way to make you feel bad rather then writing it well in a way it makes any form of lasting impact. Like this demon just killed a lot of people for fun and is about to get killed, but "oh no he was a poor child and had a loving mother who died, it excuses now everything" Sure for some of them it works but for some like Rui it doesn't imo
@@Bruh_but_why I mean, beautiful is different than hot or sexy. If someone called your mom ugly as fuck I would imagine it would annoy you at least a little?
@@Bruh_but_why he wasnt sexual at all though! I'm an only child as well, but I know if some random dude called my little sister ugly I'd be pissed and be like hell no she's beautiful. There's nothing strange about that lol, Tanjiro is never a creep towards women because he loves and respects his little sister and that's why I love him.
So we just gonna ignore the plot twist that happened after the mountain training arc when Tanjiro is leaving for the final selection and asks Irokodaki (sorry if I misspelled that) to say goodbye to the kids who helped him cut that huge boulder then Irokodaki says "Tanjiro... how do you know the names of those dead children?"
I mean, it wasn't that surprising, was it? They appeared and disappeared at random. I would have been surprised if they _hadn't_ been dead. However, it does bring up the question of how much impact dead people have on the events of the story. There are several times where Tanjiro or Nezuko get mental assistance from their family, for instance.
IKR! Like for me it was not unexpected per se, but like... is it gonna be mentioned again? Or is it just like, Tanjirou: "Oh yeah, by the way, I saw dead people that one time" Everyone: "Weird flex but ok"
@@aizenthetrollking8583 I'd expect someone aa smart as Sosuke Aizen to come up with something original instead of contributing to TH-cam meme spam. Oh well
im with you it was and still is my favorite anime that is currently running! and it does deserve every praise it gets although it should've gotten this praise from the beginning but better late then never!
A lot of content creators coordinate releases on topics because TH-cam's algorithm favors it. If they all release similar topics at the same time, the algorithm see's the same topic gaining steam and then recommends all of these same videos to users watching them. If they release content on different subjects, the topics compete against each other which does not have the same positive effect on view counts for everyone. It's an unfortunate side effect of the TH-cam algorithm. I'm not saying this is definitely what happened here, could be coincidence because of Demon Slayer's current popularity, but the situation I laid out, happens a lot on TH-cam across all genres.
@@WannabeShady90 I would have watched that anime if it doesn't have naive underage girls licking mc's balls with weak ass justification, like the slave system is literally the most convenient plot device to turn a person to a willing sex slave. I like fan service but this is just a embarrassing kind of perverse.
@@davidajayi6516 Is that supposed to be 'savage'? Where in my comment did I say anything about shonen with male author? I love Jojo as much as the next guy.
This show has quickly jumped to one of my favourites. It made me cry for a demon. A demon that was evil and killed people and I cried for them. So yeah, this show has become something special to me.
I feel like a lot of Tanjiro is summed up in that moment when he sees the mother of the spider clan giving up and changes his sword grip to change his attack to be more gentle. It was just so sad, but showed how beautiful his heart is. Also, I know you didn't cover this, (also we will no doubt learn more about her, so this is my impression only at this point in time) but can I just say that seeing Tanjiro's genuine empathy and then being confronted with Shinobu Kocho (the butterfly swordsman) and her twisted, sickly sweet sympathy is startling. She freaks me out more than any of the demons because she has power and she is cruel but she believes that she is in the right and is unyielding in her belief in doing what she sees as right. Tanjiro sees that demon doesn't mean monster and judges their actions and even then isn't cruel in killing them. Her fake sympathy is more hateful then those who treat the demons they kill as nothing but things to exterminate because at least they don't pretend to be feel for demons when they don't.
I thought the same about Shinobu. Something about her creeped me out, but I also appreciated that she was strong in the nontraditional way. My opinion changed a bit in the next few episodes. Keep watching. :D
Butterfly lady was still interesting in the sense that even though she hates demons, she still honored her sister's wishes and offered sympathy to spider girl
her introduction makes it easy to hate on her (she almost kills nezuko after all), but in the following episodes she is one of the only Hashiras to accept Nezuko and Tanjiro, she heals the boisss and give them training and good advices. She is absolutely lovely in her own way, even if she is kinda heartless when dealing with onis. [manga spoiler ahead, don't read if you don't want spilers on the happenings on the last fights] She also stops being hatefull with onis to work with the good ones in order to defeat Muzan. Her poison is one of the main reasons they manage to defeat Muzan the 2nd Moon. She is one my favorite characters by far
Meaningless paladin's "compassion". Because TH-cam blocks my external links, Google "kill with kindness florida man" to see what I think of stuff, like that.

@@biezom. it is generic, it's world, characters, and story have little to nothing new about them, with a few new things. That doesn't mean it's bad, it's actually pretty solid but it's not a storytelling masterpiece
Everyone Before Episode 19: oh demon Slayer is nice it has good animation and nezuko is cute but it's not really anything special it has a few flaws blah blah blah After Episode 19: *OMG DEMON SLAYER IS SOOOOO GOOD ANIME OF THE YEAR, EVERYONE TALK ABOUT IT, TH-camRS WRITING ESSAYS ON WHY THE SHOW IS SO GOOD EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER EVEN TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE, THIS SHOW IS AMAZINGGGGGGGGG AND THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF EVER* is what has happened after episode 19, I'm happy since demon Slayer is finally getting the attention it deserves so more people will buy the manga which will help out the mangaka who is trying her best.
Problem is that Kimetsu no Yaiba has good start and fall a bit after Tanjiro first mission, but this arc with spiders was really great and everyone are looking on this show again.
As i already said in Gigguk's video, As an OG Manga reader myself, seeing the series get all this praise and recognition is beautiful Is like watching my kid grow up and getting successful :')
I have one question for an OG manga reader then, the one reservation that has prevented me from jumping in so far, it's an anime, centred on a teen and his little sister. the question being obvious... does that brother-sister relationship go the way that 90% of anime seem to be pandering to lately?
@@Omnipotentmonkey Absolutely not, Nezuko and Tanjiro have a beautiful Sister and Brother relationship, that's all Tbh this series doesn't have romance at all
Tanjiros empathy makes him close to the best if not THE best shounen protagonist ever. He's complex, yet simple. And his kindness is both a salve and an unflinching blade.
I'm so glad you highlighted Tanjiro's empathy as the primary factor that makes this show great. In other videos I've seen from other channels, they always praise the animation and design as the biggest thing and seem to imply that Tanjiro's empathy and the theme of love which permeates through the entire anime as just secondary reasons as to why this show is this good. The main thing I recall about this anime which is also the main reason I like this show so much is exactly Tanjiro's unique quality of empathy that feels so genuine it easily resonates with the audience every single time it comes up, and to see it mentioned by a famous youtube channel gives me a really good feeling. Props to you man and thank you.
@@penguin-tc1cx 26 episodes is more than enough to develop the main deurotaganist. The fact that I'm even expected to read the manga to see her development proves my point.
@@tnb4509 I mean, Nezuko is kinda tripped out of her entire mind most of the show- you can’t exactly develop a character when they’re constantly in a child like state. Besides, I somewhat feel the need to turn her back to normal wouldn’t be as prevalent if she kept her entire personality an awareness once she turned. Her being reduced to such a simple-minded state makes it more urgent, or sad. Like you still have the person you love most, but they simply aren’t the same. One brick short of a house. If she was completely normal, but demon flavored, her turning wouldn’t feel as upsetting. I mean, this entire comparison reminds me of something my mother had to deal with- her mother had a some sort of brain disease, which eventually overflowed an ended up destroying her brain. My mom and her siblings were given the option of keeping her mother alive at the cost of her being a vegetable, or letting her die. It’s somewhat like that. Nezuko, in exchange for her life and the ability to survive without eating humans, was forced to live as a monster with barely there awareness. That’s kinda why I enjoy it, honestly. It’s a decent euphemism for mental or physical illnesses.
Tanjiro is probably the first Shounen MC, that I know of, who shows empathy towards the enemy without bring childish or immature. And I love that about him.
Thats why i love the water effect... it's just so pretty.And while i think that one scene was great, other scenes were just AS great before but that's just me. Let's appreciate the water together lol.
I've been praising the animation since the start. No only are the action shots incredibly well made with so many angles and rotation in a single sequence, but on top of that the style they use is breathtaking. I'm used to see one or the other, but both at once is insanely rare.
I loved the mountain training arc. When he finally cut that bolder, that's when I fell in love and was like ok I will watch this anime to the very end.
@@toledochristianmatthew9919 it's almost like we like seeing a logical progression and the effect that extreme amounts of work and dedication has on a character rather than "lamo am stronk now"
Tanjiro is just kind I like how his goals are not something big like “I will kill all demons” or “imma be the strongest” he just wants to cure his sister and confront that demon mafia boss ( forgot how to spell his name)
The main character is just a pure hearted kid, he isn't interested in having love interest or is even selfish... All he wants is to save his sister. Plus this is futher emphasized in the mugen train movie, as his soul is literally so freaken pure and beautiful.
yaaa, was a little confused by this being said on both this and gigguk's vid. This anime had closet weebs coming out of the closet in full force all over the place -- i cant tell you how many steam profile pictures have nezuko/tanjuro in them when im playing cs
Gilliganinja (Ethan) everyone is watching it now. I’ve been watching from the day it released and everyone I told about it laughed at it until ep 19 blew up. Now everyone all of a sudden is watching it. Get it right you douche.
I’m such a huge fan of sibling stories that don’t turn in a creepy direction. Tanjiro and Nezuko loving and protecting each other is extremely wholesome and gives me great vibes, their bond and the art style are the main factors drawing me to this show. It’s also refreshing to not have immediately obvious love interests for the main characters. Also Inosuke is fine as hell.
@@gunswordfist Dragon ball super is good Full metal alchemist Has some good ones Mob psycho 100 is excellent berserk and fist of the north star are old fashioned but good. when I say good fight choreography for the record I just mean the fighting itself shows like MHA and jojo's fights are good for reasons other then the choreography.
@@awesomeness1122 That seems to be the case! I've been having trouble finding decent action series to get into. I do plan on buying the Jojo OVAs soon.
this anime makes me so happy, after episode 19 i texted both of my brothers (who are difficult to please with anime) and told them they need to watch. i know 100% theyll enjoy it, honestly this anime deserves the same hype that attack on titan got if not more
Yea..Im gonna have to disagree with you there attack on titan did way more than Demon Slayer did in its first season. It kinda dragged on and it turned out that it was just an intro seasons. This was easily half a seasons worth of content stretched over 26 episodes.
I feel kind of bad since people around me tell me that I’m watching something boring if I’m watching Demon Slayer. Most say that it has a generic plot or originality, and that all it has going is it’s animation or characters. I want to defend by saying that the characters are different and original, with a whole world/universe that’s originally created. Even though the plot can be very cliché, it’s okay because it mixes well with the existing characters. I remember someone saying that they didn’t like Demon because it was the same as all the other shonen anime out there, but I feel like they’re just kind of hating so they can hate. I wish they would take into account how almost everything has cliches in it, no matter how original other stuff may be. Yeah, it’s kinda the same plot as other shounen anime’s, but it isn’t trash as they say it to be. As I said, it just works super well with everything else and it evens it out. I just wanted someone to tell me that it was okay to watch something like and not be told that my taste is bad. :’(
Demon Slayer is not boring. It may have a genetic plot flow, but the focus of the show was more on the "family love", rather than pursuing dreams or cliché tropes of friendship. It's actually quite nice as I don't usually see the this theme in shounen. Besides, the show is boring? Generic plot flow doesn't mean it's a boring anime. Having a unique plot line doesn't make the anime interesting either. Lots of them backfired. This show has good animation, proper introduction to characters even though it's repetitive, good music and intro, enjoyable theme.... And I don't think that qualifies as "boring". It is not a masterpiece, but it's entertaining to watch, to be honest. Those who argue that one's opinion is bad are probably the biggest hypocrites, because they couldn't handle a goddamn opinion.
Bruh don't worry actually they are jealous like one episode literlly destroy the game they know when other arc will be animated Demon slayer gonna destroy competion
It’s great how the elements they use when fighting aren’t actually there. It’s a really nice metaphor that shows how each person cuts their target. Tanjiro’s water breathing is smooth and elegant, Zenitsu’s thunder breathing is fast and powerful, Inosuke’s beast breathing is strong and primal, etc. It’s just a representation of how they strike their blades and it’s really beautiful.
What bothered me about this though is how the spider that zinetsu is fighting starts mentioning how the air is vibrating when zinetsu does his breath as if there is actually lighting which made no sense
@@Dharengo It's not just in fiction. I've actually met people who lived in Japan and Japanese people who believe in nonsense like chi and soul energy, and that when you're fighting someone you can feel (not metaphorically) the energy in the fight. It's part of the superstitions that pervade their culture, much as the superstitions of Christianity pervades ours.
@@heroricspiritfreinen38 It has some subtle spirtual power (demons also mention that they feel like getting showered by rain, or burned by fire after getting hit), but the breathing mostly provides a huge physical boost to the demon slayers and the swords

i cried so much while watching this that i can't even, every demon he slays and afterwards "forgives" or at least shows some kind of compassion for their suffering caused floods of masculine tears in my eyes
Because they don't have amazing off the wall animation The large majority of anime fans didn't care about demon Slayer much until episode 19, now look at everyone singing it's praises
Honestly it’s incredible how much more I enjoyed the series just because of Tanjiro’s kindness and genuineness. It’s so refreshing to see a male lead without a massive ego.
I know right? I originally watched the Demon Slayer anime because people said it was a good anime. I didn't expect much from the protagonist of this series because I knew he would just be a typical shounen protagonist in general and yes sure he is a good person who really- really pure hearted but somehow I actually like his character. Weird even though he's just like a ordinary protagonist but I don't know why iam fell something different from him. Seeing his kindness throughout the series was enough for me to enjoy this series to the end but then we introduced other characters that are no less interesting than him
@@PhillyFinesse It'll probs be 3-4 seasons if they stick with 26 episodes each. Demon Train and Red Light District will probably take a whole season. Swordsmith Village and Pillar Training could be made into a whole season if they stretched it, but they could also add Dimensional Infinity Fortress Arc I guess? I would guess that they might add in a small arc in season 3 so that season 4 could be the big finale season.
@@xiaxiyan6158 yea i do agree with you on the pacing of the arcs. Season 2 will probably take on Demon Train and Red Light District arcs and Season 3 will cover the Swordsman Village and Pillar Training arcs. Dimensional Infinity Fortress arc will be the big finale season and it will be probably take the entire season length for that arc alone. And the Demon Train arc is already a punch in the gut, and soon the Dimensional Infinity Fortress soon enough.
Demon Slayer has swiftly cemented itself as one of my favorites, if not my favorite, anime of all time. I love every character, and Tanjiro's commitment to unwavering kindness and family really speaks to me. The fight scenes are amazing, and the art style is blazingly beautiful without being a psychedelic mess, every color is used with thought. I eagerly await Mugen Train and Season 2.
Demon Slayer is new to me and I'm just starting the manga. Ive been reading Dr. stone for a while and like it. I was kinda surprised in a pleasant way to see it got a show, but haven't seen it yet. Hype for it, though.
I know it’s an honest mistake, but those tracks are actually from NieR: Gestalt/Replicant (or at least we’re originally from it, in the case of Kainés theme) :)
yeah, that's how North America natives lost their land, such people see the natives as mindless animals, why would you care about other people, when you don't even care about your own family
Let's be honest though. Demon slayer writing and character wise is trash. It follows a demon of the week formula, and the characters are either really annoying, or just there for plot. Plus, episode 19 has two MAJOR asspulls that everyone just ignored because "ooh pretty colors". I generally want to know why people enjoy this show.
The best part is that the show does not rely on cringey fanservice in addition to the extremely well written characters. Nezuko was treated great and it's why she is clearly best girl rn and will be for a loooooong time
I mean... Nezuko is just a nothing. She has no personality, she is akin to a dog. The only thing is that she was never sexualized or used for fanservice, but outsidr of that she's just a walking McGuffin. Even her relationship with Tanjiro or her struggle with being a demon are barely explored and resumed into "Perfrct best brother-sis relationship ever" and "Being a demon? Nah, she has no opinion on that". Nezuko was treated ad basically an afterthought
@@vcamv2354 Yeah pretty much this. I got excited when she used her blood demon art, since it implied that her intelligence was returning a bit, and then she even had to prove her restraint to the Hashira, but it ended up getting a lot less focus then I'd hoped. She gets shoved right back in her box because the boys have to have a training arc and Tanjiro needs to meet his love interest.
@@seanfisher6904 The only properly done training arc, well, 2 of the, 5 I think the manga has? And the other was just half good done, also, we can't call her "love interest" more like "The only one made sense pairing him with". I can't believe I'll say ir, but even Sasuke and Sakura are more believable than those 2, at least they had more interactions and spend more than 3 weeks together
I always thought that another part of why the fights are one on top of another is to show how few demon Slayers there are and how many demons there are after all tanjiro has to fight with broken limbs during the drum house because they can't have people stop unless they really can't fight anymore.
*What i love about demon slayer is the deep and strong bond of the sibling and i love that the author of the Demon Slayer is not afraid of killing Strong Character.*
The only game of NiER I've played was Automata, but I've heard the other games are great, just not on Xbox. And just like Automata, I'm guessing most, and if not all NiER games have great soundtracks. So I have to agree that the music is a nice touch.
I must've forgotten how much I love Demon Slayer because I was sniveling throughout this whole video and had to pause to full on cry for a minute at the mention of Urokodaki telling Nezuko to see all humans as family
Tanjiro is basically a lawful good paladin who pledged an oath of heroism/redemption, and has a folk hero background, and multiclassed into kensei monk/samurai fighter
For someone like me who's not fond of stories with so much romance, demon slayer is a gift.

@@Klqe689 The anime is in the 50s in terms of manga chapters, and the current manga is at 179, with that being the final arc. That said this final arc is a really long arc.
Honestly I'm ok with this not being insanely long. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood told a compelling story in just 64 episodes. While Demon Slayer will definitely run longer in terms of episodes. There is an ending in sight. How often can we say that about most anime from this genre?
There's so much I love about this show and I'm glad I watched it before I had long to wait before the second season. Tanjiro's empathy not being a weakness or merely an informed character trait, but actually crucial to his personality. That he offers comfort to the enemies he kills, but he doesn't let empathy stop him from necessary fights. The bond between a brother and sister which is a balm to my betrayed feelings surrounding Mikasa and Eren (I related so much to her as someone who would also go absolutely feral for my brother and family only for it to be revealed as romantic and Eren to be an abusive bastard.) The quieter theme of strength being something you define for yourself, not something measured against others. Zenitsu would in other anime be considered a poor student for disobeying his teacher, for being weak and cowardly. Or else he would magically overcome everything through pure hard work (like Rock Lee) but instead the series seems to take the view that there's no such thing as a bad student, that it's actually the responsibility of the teacher to find a way to reach them. The students aren't meant to magically figure it out, they have to be given the right guidance before their persistance amounts to anything, otherwise they just persist in the wrong direction. It's so *rare* for anime. There is some weakness in the central trio not really bonding much so far as they often fight separately, but I imagine that will improve later.
Donnie Burgess There are a lot of dark fantasy anime series that aired this year: Demon Slayer, Promised Neverland, Shield Hero and Attack on Titan S3 Part 2.
He has a different energy than other fighters in anime. He reeks kindness and empathy but at the same time he knows he has to kill demons. He always wishes them happy lives for when they are reborn and has a sad look on his face. It says a lot about his character
I really like how since he doesn’t want to spoil anything he shows the dad as the main bad spider when it is the son that is the worse one. It’s consistent through the whole vid and is awesome

@Erza Fanboy I love how people actually think their own opinions are absolute fact and that there isn't something called personal taste. makes me laugh. Anyways, people might see merit in places you don't, and you might see flaws in places where they don't matter to others, because their enjoyment overshadows the flaws. It's all relative. So shut up. I know you're just a troll, but this goes to all those who bring negativity whenever the so-called "generic overrated trash" shounen is praised.
@Erza Fanboy I am dissapointed that an anime I had once loved has fans this absolutely disgustingly stupid, if you think kimetsu no yaiba is a shitty series than why stay here and fck yourself up with angry 11 year olds like me and fck off yourself you immature, self-centered baby
The fact that Tanjiro literally had his whole family slain by demons and yet still is able to put out a smile show kindness and love to everything around him is tragic yet moving.
That's literally 80 percent of Shonen protagonists.

@@growarmygtvo8463 Dude, killing off the parents and showing kindness, love and empathy to even the enemy is the quintessential typical shonen trait. There's nothing new about this lol.

I swear this the first anime in decades about love between brother and sister that isn't a weird sex thing.
Indeed. Not the incest or ecchi or harem garbage.
And that's why I love this anime so much!
I mean, as long as it is still wholesome than it is still good. The anime has to be done really well tho if it goes that route.
I’m new to anime and I keep seeing people say this on every demon slayer vid... how sweet home alabama IS anime usually???
@@girlsnightgirIsnight Honestly not much. Just in most harems it is Sweet Home Alabama to the extreme. Tbh, I don't think many brother sister relationships are explored in anime, most are brother brother or sister sister (all of these being platonic btw), at least from what I've seen. I haven't really seen many compared to some people. It is important to note, however, that it is rather common for a younger sister to have a crush on her older brother. This isn't always the case, but it does show up quite a lot.
The Anime is so good that the author of the Manga actually cried into tears of joy herself in how well received her series is, especially in episode 19.
Koyoharu It’s an amazing story, and character designer. he definitely needs to have more credit for the show.

Tanjiro got a ton of empathy but he’s not one of the annoying ‘no I’m not gunna kill this dude who murdered 1000 people’ types

Thank god for that, most shonens are absolute ass at romance
Tanjiro is an empathetic protagonist but without the naivete.

The main theme of Demon Slayer, despite its title, is love. Love for your family, love for your friends, and how far you'll go for them no matter what. Tanjiro is the most human shounen protagonist I've seen in a long time; someone who wants to save his sister, who despite everything he's went through, only wants to stop others from suffering. He's willing to take all their pain, all their sorrow, and tries to replace it with peace, even if it is in their dying moments. Because he knows what it means to suffer agonizing pain at the loss of his family, he doesn't want anyone else to feel that suffering if he can help it. He wants to spread kindness and love, rather than hatred, and only strikes out in the name of justice for those that have suffered.
What a beautiful message to send to the young, and also older, audiences that read Shounen Jump today.
I'm sure that most shone talk a ton about the power of friendship.
I was curious aboout what the show was about but just had the title as clue.
Now you have convinced me to watch it :)
To me, it's all about listening to the other's side of the story, understanding them. There's a reason why there are such ppl, it's because life was cruel to them and turned them into what they are. It shows how life's cruelties can manipulate a person into a monster, and this is brilliantly methaporized with the demons in the show.
Reading that reminded me a bit of Ed and Al from FMA(B) which is, frankly, one of the best compliments I could give a show.
to me i think it’s more of an understanding of what other people went through, and how not everyone is “born” evil. that’s why we see so many GOD DAMN backstories of random ass people, because then we learn and emphasize with those that we know the feelings of. thru the kindness of tanjiro, it allows us to genuinely know what these people went through and the hardships in doing so, it doesn’t necessarily justify their actions but perhaps offers an explanation. it’s like the lesson where you can’t judge anyone based on their appearance, they have a deeper meaning
I think Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke just have such great chemistry, especially in that episode where they rest and heal. Was very quickly hooked to this anime.
I'm about to rewatch that now.
you should read the manga. Their relationship in it makes me smile everytime

Never understood why they went all out as they did with ep 19. The fight did absolutely nothing to rui, and giyu had to save nose boy's ass. I guess its because they knew people would flip their shit over pretty colors, to make up for a lackluster story.
@@Bruh_but_why not really though
The fight did not do nothing to Rui he took alot of damage but that's not the important thing it showed the gap of the Mc and showed despite his strength and skills being already amazing it was still not enough to fight against the demons of the lower classes
In fact if the mc had won it would've been another cliché moment of Mc super strong suddenly despite only training for 2 or 3 years and beats bad guy who has terrified humans for decades
@@animateit8452 But how the hell did tanjiro know about god breathing? We can assume tanjiro's father knew about it, but we never see taniro actually training with god breathing. And even if he did, why did he learn water breathing if he can already use god breathing?
Also, while we're on the topic, explain nezuko's asspull Its been shown that nezuko can get smaller to fit in her box, and we never see any other demons do the size manipulation, so we can assume it's her blood art, yet, she has her "exploding blood". So, she just has two abilities, because main cast privileges.
Finally, my original point was that a meaningless fight had such quality production, what with the music and the two new abilities (Asspulls). But I sorta solved my own answer while writing this, so oopsies.

The series has almost no fillers. And when we get to see the characters in " breaking time" they actually keep training, see interacting with each other and such.
In short, no chapter wastes time in the progression of the plot.
Agreed there is no filler you will see everything related
Though I normally don’t mind filler as long as it’s entertaining, this is a nice change.
if anything the manga is too efficient at times
Yeah but i feel like its a bit rushed too?
almost no plot either
what i love the most is that every battle he wins, it doesn’t actually feel like a victory. there’s always some quiet sadness to it, and i always find myself wondering if there was any way to spare the demons he kills. even the most horrible demons still have sad pasts that make me empathise with them all the more. it’s brilliantly written
I love how he doesn't celebrate after killing a demon. We may say yes, but in Tanjiro's POV, no matter how evil they were, he didn't glorify their deaths. He just feels bad. He gives off that "I'm sorry" kinda look.
@@T_E_G Tanjiro is pretty much the embodiment of the quote "a true soldier fights, not because he hates what's in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him"
I don't agree with the "brilliantly written" part
Yes a lot of the demons had sad pasts but we learn about them at the last seconds before they are being killed, making it feel more like a cheep way to make you feel bad rather then writing it well in a way it makes any form of lasting impact. Like this demon just killed a lot of people for fun and is about to get killed, but "oh no he was a poor child and had a loving mother who died, it excuses now everything"
Sure for some of them it works but for some like Rui it doesn't imo

Didn't tanjiro have a whole thing where he went off on that one guy about how beautiful his sister is? I'm an only child, but that doesnt seem normal.
@@Bruh_but_why I mean, beautiful is different than hot or sexy. If someone called your mom ugly as fuck I would imagine it would annoy you at least a little?

"Zenitsu: Ultra-Instinct Shaggy with a little bit of Mineta thrown in."
I've never heard such an accurate character analysis before.
I'd say, a big chunk of Mineta thrown in.
But accurate description is accurate.
He’s just unconscious Mob without the animated %.
@@bmack1708 He's almost entirely Mineta. He very nearly ruins the show on his own.
Arachnofiend Zenitsu is almost nothing like mineta , he’s a hopeless romantic but he doesn’t go out of his way to harass women sexually .
Personally I see him as a weird fusion of One Piece's Sanji and Usopp.
So we just gonna ignore the plot twist that happened after the mountain training arc when Tanjiro is leaving for the final selection and asks Irokodaki (sorry if I misspelled that) to say goodbye to the kids who helped him cut that huge boulder then Irokodaki says "Tanjiro... how do you know the names of those dead children?"
I mean, it wasn't that surprising, was it? They appeared and disappeared at random. I would have been surprised if they _hadn't_ been dead.
However, it does bring up the question of how much impact dead people have on the events of the story. There are several times where Tanjiro or Nezuko get mental assistance from their family, for instance.
IKR! Like for me it was not unexpected per se, but like... is it gonna be mentioned again? Or is it just like, Tanjirou: "Oh yeah, by the way, I saw dead people that one time" Everyone: "Weird flex but ok"

Another video Where Giguk and Mother Basement share the same topic on the same week. Do they do this on purpose?
Was about to say the same thing haha
A lot of content creators coordinate releases on topics because TH-cam's algorithm favors it. If they all release similar topics at the same time, the algorithm see's the same topic gaining steam and then recommends all of these same videos to users watching them. If they release content on different subjects, the topics compete against each other which does not have the same positive effect on view counts for everyone. It's an unfortunate side effect of the TH-cam algorithm. I'm not saying this is definitely what happened here, could be coincidence because of Demon Slayer's current popularity, but the situation I laid out, happens a lot on TH-cam across all genres.

I feel like a lot of Tanjiro is summed up in that moment when he sees the mother of the spider clan giving up and changes his sword grip to change his attack to be more gentle. It was just so sad, but showed how beautiful his heart is.
Also, I know you didn't cover this, (also we will no doubt learn more about her, so this is my impression only at this point in time) but can I just say that seeing Tanjiro's genuine empathy and then being confronted with Shinobu Kocho (the butterfly swordsman) and her twisted, sickly sweet sympathy is startling. She freaks me out more than any of the demons because she has power and she is cruel but she believes that she is in the right and is unyielding in her belief in doing what she sees as right. Tanjiro sees that demon doesn't mean monster and judges their actions and even then isn't cruel in killing them. Her fake sympathy is more hateful then those who treat the demons they kill as nothing but things to exterminate because at least they don't pretend to be feel for demons when they don't.
I thought the same about Shinobu. Something about her creeped me out, but I also appreciated that she was strong in the nontraditional way. My opinion changed a bit in the next few episodes. Keep watching. :D
Butterfly lady was still interesting in the sense that even though she hates demons, she still honored her sister's wishes and offered sympathy to spider girl
her introduction makes it easy to hate on her (she almost kills nezuko after all), but in the following episodes she is one of the only Hashiras to accept Nezuko and Tanjiro, she heals the boisss and give them training and good advices. She is absolutely lovely in her own way, even if she is kinda heartless when dealing with onis.
[manga spoiler ahead, don't read if you don't want spilers on the happenings on the last fights]
She also stops being hatefull with onis to work with the good ones in order to defeat Muzan. Her poison is one of the main reasons they manage to defeat Muzan the 2nd Moon. She is one my favorite characters by far

Her being reduced to such a simple-minded state makes it more urgent, or sad. Like you still have the person you love most, but they simply aren’t the same. One brick short of a house.
If she was completely normal, but demon flavored, her turning wouldn’t feel as upsetting. I mean, this entire comparison reminds me of something my mother had to deal with- her mother had a some sort of brain disease, which eventually overflowed an ended up destroying her brain. My mom and her siblings were given the option of keeping her mother alive at the cost of her being a vegetable, or letting her die. It’s somewhat like that. Nezuko, in exchange for her life and the ability to survive without eating humans, was forced to live as a monster with barely there awareness.
That’s kinda why I enjoy it, honestly. It’s a decent euphemism for mental or physical illnesses.
Tanjiro is probably the first Shounen MC, that I know of, who shows empathy towards the enemy without bring childish or immature. And I love that about him.
I've been hyping the water effects since the beginning, i love how it looks...
Same, my favorite parts
Thats why i love the water effect... it's just so pretty.And while i think that one scene was great, other scenes were just AS great before but that's just me.
Let's appreciate the water together lol.
To me, the most beautiful part was when he killed the spider mother. The way the water calmly flows is something to behold
I've been praising the animation since the start. No only are the action shots incredibly well made with so many angles and rotation in a single sequence, but on top of that the style they use is breathtaking. I'm used to see one or the other, but both at once is insanely rare.
The producers n animators are inspired from Ukiyo-e
I loved the mountain training arc. When he finally cut that bolder, that's when I fell in love and was like ok I will watch this anime to the very end.
It also felt very well paced and emotional.
@@toledochristianmatthew9919 it's almost like we like seeing a logical progression and the effect that extreme amounts of work and dedication has on a character rather than "lamo am stronk now"
Tanjiro is just kind I like how his goals are not something big like “I will kill all demons” or “imma be the strongest” he just wants to cure his sister and confront that demon mafia boss ( forgot how to spell his name)
"he just wants to confront the strongest demon in existence for his imouto"
Such small goals
Let's just call him DemonThriller Michael Jackson?
The boss name is Kibutsuji Muzan but he's more known as Michael Jackson.
Muzan Jackson?
@@expressoface that's exactly right!
The main character is just a pure hearted kid, he isn't interested in having love interest or is even selfish... All he wants is to save his sister.
Plus this is futher emphasized in the mugen train movie, as his soul is literally so freaken pure and beautiful.
I think it only fell under youtubers radars
Too true

I’m such a huge fan of sibling stories that don’t turn in a creepy direction. Tanjiro and Nezuko loving and protecting each other is extremely wholesome and gives me great vibes, their bond and the art style are the main factors drawing me to this show. It’s also refreshing to not have immediately obvious love interests for the main characters. Also Inosuke is fine as hell.
Okay, but can we talk about how he edited his video to avoid certain spoilers? That's pretty impressive.
Tanjiro is special because of his special power of empathy. That’s better than just being kind.

this anime makes me so happy, after episode 19 i texted both of my brothers (who are difficult to please with anime) and told them they need to watch. i know 100% theyll enjoy it, honestly this anime deserves the same hype that attack on titan got if not more
Yea..Im gonna have to disagree with you there attack on titan did way more than Demon Slayer did in its first season. It kinda dragged on and it turned out that it was just an intro seasons. This was easily half a seasons worth of content stretched over 26 episodes.
It's not as good as AOT
Naaah, not even close to aot
Well the hype is definitely there lmao. The movie for sure ;>
I feel kind of bad since people around me tell me that I’m watching something boring if I’m watching Demon Slayer. Most say that it has a generic plot or originality, and that all it has going is it’s animation or characters. I want to defend by saying that the characters are different and original, with a whole world/universe that’s originally created. Even though the plot can be very cliché, it’s okay because it mixes well with the existing characters.
I remember someone saying that they didn’t like Demon because it was the same as all the other shonen anime out there, but I feel like they’re just kind of hating so they can hate. I wish they would take into account how almost everything has cliches in it, no matter how original other stuff may be. Yeah, it’s kinda the same plot as other shounen anime’s, but it isn’t trash as they say it to be. As I said, it just works super well with everything else and it evens it out.
I just wanted someone to tell me that it was okay to watch something like and not be told that my taste is bad. :’(
It's ok
Demon Slayer is not boring. It may have a genetic plot flow, but the focus of the show was more on the "family love", rather than pursuing dreams or cliché tropes of friendship. It's actually quite nice as I don't usually see the this theme in shounen.
Besides, the show is boring? Generic plot flow doesn't mean it's a boring anime. Having a unique plot line doesn't make the anime interesting either. Lots of them backfired. This show has good animation, proper introduction to characters even though it's repetitive, good music and intro, enjoyable theme.... And I don't think that qualifies as "boring". It is not a masterpiece, but it's entertaining to watch, to be honest.
Those who argue that one's opinion is bad are probably the biggest hypocrites, because they couldn't handle a goddamn opinion.
Bruh every anime is generic look at dbz look at one piece look at vinland all are generic in a way
Bruh don't worry actually they are jealous like one episode literlly destroy the game they know when other arc will be animated Demon slayer gonna destroy competion
watch what you want to watch
It’s great how the elements they use when fighting aren’t actually there. It’s a really nice metaphor that shows how each person cuts their target. Tanjiro’s water breathing is smooth and elegant, Zenitsu’s thunder breathing is fast and powerful, Inosuke’s beast breathing is strong and primal, etc. It’s just a representation of how they strike their blades and it’s really beautiful.
What bothered me about this though is how the spider that zinetsu is fighting starts mentioning how the air is vibrating when zinetsu does his breath as if there is actually lighting which made no sense
It's this thing that happens in Japanese pop culture. Even when nothing supernatural is happening, people in fiction "feel" another's pressure.
@@Dharengo It's not just in fiction. I've actually met people who lived in Japan and Japanese people who believe in nonsense like chi and soul energy, and that when you're fighting someone you can feel (not metaphorically) the energy in the fight. It's part of the superstitions that pervade their culture, much as the superstitions of Christianity pervades ours.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 "Nonsense" pretty bias huh?
@@heroricspiritfreinen38 It has some subtle spirtual power (demons also mention that they feel like getting showered by rain, or burned by fire after getting hit), but the breathing mostly provides a huge physical boost to the demon slayers and the swords

As a manga reader, I am not disappointed. The detail and the flashback its the same as the manga but even better!
Just started reading the manga now that s1 is over. The packing in the manga is jarringly fast. The anime is soooooo well paced.
Yessss, cant wait till they animate the fights with the upper moons, those were very intense, even just reading it in manga the villain arcs made me cry 😭 I love how it doesnt paint villains and heroes as mere black and white and theres always depth in every arc.

i cried so much while watching this that i can't even, every demon he slays and afterwards "forgives" or at least shows some kind of compassion for their suffering caused floods of masculine tears in my eyes
Demon Slayer is amazing but i just wish shows like Dororo and Vinland Saga got more attention
Complex - almost no one talked about Dororo last season and that was really frustrating. It was one of my favourite
They would if they weren’t Prime.
Prime Anime always gets under appreciated.
I agree Vinland saga anime of the season in my opinion
Because they don't have amazing off the wall animation
The large majority of anime fans didn't care about demon Slayer much until episode 19, now look at everyone singing it's praises
@@heroricspiritfreinen38 lol but Dororo had some really good fight animation and were arguably smoother than Demon Slayer
Honestly it’s incredible how much more I enjoyed the series just because of Tanjiro’s kindness and genuineness. It’s so refreshing to see a male lead without a massive ego.
I know right?
I originally watched the Demon Slayer anime because people said it was a good anime. I didn't expect much from the protagonist of this series because I knew he would just be a typical shounen protagonist in general and yes sure he is a good person who really- really pure hearted but somehow I actually like his character. Weird even though he's just like a ordinary protagonist but I don't know why iam fell something different from him. Seeing his kindness throughout the series was enough for me to enjoy this series to the end but then we introduced other characters that are no less interesting than him
you talk as if every shounen protagonist has a massive ego when almost none of them do.

@@PhillyFinesse It'll probs be 3-4 seasons if they stick with 26 episodes each. Demon Train and Red Light District will probably take a whole season. Swordsmith Village and Pillar Training could be made into a whole season if they stretched it, but they could also add Dimensional Infinity Fortress Arc I guess? I would guess that they might add in a small arc in season 3 so that season 4 could be the big finale season.
@@xiaxiyan6158 yea i do agree with you on the pacing of the arcs. Season 2 will probably take on Demon Train and Red Light District arcs and Season 3 will cover the Swordsman Village and Pillar Training arcs. Dimensional Infinity Fortress arc will be the big finale season and it will be probably take the entire season length for that arc alone.
And the Demon Train arc is already a punch in the gut, and soon the Dimensional Infinity Fortress soon enough.
THe Manga is so good...
I’m so happy that kimetsu no yaiba is getting the love it deserves
Demon Slayer has swiftly cemented itself as one of my favorites, if not my favorite, anime of all time. I love every character, and Tanjiro's commitment to unwavering kindness and family really speaks to me. The fight scenes are amazing, and the art style is blazingly beautiful without being a psychedelic mess, every color is used with thought. I eagerly await Mugen Train and Season 2.
Loving the bait n switch you did with the spider family. Good job
Demon Slayer and Dr. Stone you can pump these anime straight into my veins. This awesomeness is pure [insert drug of choice here.]
bishopboy101 lol
Demon Slayer is new to me and I'm just starting the manga. Ive been reading Dr. stone for a while and like it. I was kinda surprised in a pleasant way to see it got a show, but haven't seen it yet. Hype for it, though.
Glad someone else noticed the similarities with the Nier: Automata soundtrack and the Demon Slayer OST.
I know it’s an honest mistake, but those tracks are actually from NieR: Gestalt/Replicant (or at least we’re originally from it, in the case of Kainés theme) :)

Let's be honest though. Demon slayer writing and character wise is trash. It follows a demon of the week formula, and the characters are either really annoying, or just there for plot. Plus, episode 19 has two MAJOR asspulls that everyone just ignored because "ooh pretty colors". I generally want to know why people enjoy this show.

The best part is that the show does not rely on cringey fanservice in addition to the extremely well written characters. Nezuko was treated great and it's why she is clearly best girl rn and will be for a loooooong time
I mean... Nezuko is just a nothing. She has no personality, she is akin to a dog. The only thing is that she was never sexualized or used for fanservice, but outsidr of that she's just a walking McGuffin. Even her relationship with Tanjiro or her struggle with being a demon are barely explored and resumed into "Perfrct best brother-sis relationship ever" and "Being a demon? Nah, she has no opinion on that". Nezuko was treated ad basically an afterthought
@@vcamv2354 Yeah pretty much this. I got excited when she used her blood demon art, since it implied that her intelligence was returning a bit, and then she even had to prove her restraint to the Hashira, but it ended up getting a lot less focus then I'd hoped. She gets shoved right back in her box because the boys have to have a training arc and Tanjiro needs to meet his love interest.
@@seanfisher6904 The only properly done training arc, well, 2 of the, 5 I think the manga has? And the other was just half good done, also, we can't call her "love interest" more like "The only one made sense pairing him with". I can't believe I'll say ir, but even Sasuke and Sakura are more believable than those 2, at least they had more interactions and spend more than 3 weeks together
bro if nezuko is well treated that’s just because she’s not doing anythin imao. she is the most overrated waifu, even more than sakura
@@duveduve1792 They never resorted to fetishizing her. It's a low bar to set, but it's nice to see
I always thought that another part of why the fights are one on top of another is to show how few demon Slayers there are and how many demons there are after all tanjiro has to fight with broken limbs during the drum house because they can't have people stop unless they really can't fight anymore.
*What i love about demon slayer is the deep and strong bond of the sibling and i love that the author of the Demon Slayer is not afraid of killing Strong Character.*
Just want to say it’s a nice touch with NiER ost “shadowlord”!
The only game of NiER I've played was Automata, but I've heard the other games are great, just not on Xbox. And just like Automata, I'm guessing most, and if not all NiER games have great soundtracks. So I have to agree that the music is a nice touch.
I must've forgotten how much I love Demon Slayer because I was sniveling throughout this whole video and had to pause to full on cry for a minute at the mention of Urokodaki telling Nezuko to see all humans as family
Tanjiro is basically a lawful good paladin who pledged an oath of heroism/redemption, and has a folk hero background, and multiclassed into kensei monk/samurai fighter
For someone like me who's not fond of stories with so much romance, demon slayer is a gift. Im really new to anime bc i don't have that much patience eeekk also when something ends temporarily i get extremely sad. Im still on my way finding more animes with not that much romance bc 😭 im not gonna say i hate it, im just a different kind of person..
When I first saw Demon Slayer on Netflix I immediately said “I’ll watch the shot out of that”, two days later and I finished it and made it’s money shot my profile picture on every platform. That just says how much I love it.
Wait, so you're telling me that Tanjiro *doesn't* spew water everywhere whenever he fights?
I thought it was obvious
@@della3440 wait so how does he break his fall against the arrow demon then? I assumed it was some weird magical water that disappeared or something like that
@@Lee-xu8tg The water is pretty much a metaphor for how he fights. So I assume the huge splash effect was meant to show us that the impact his sword made with the ground was just that perfect and stable. I think it's meant to represent how skilled he's become.

@@Klqe689 The anime is in the 50s in terms of manga chapters, and the current manga is at 179, with that being the final arc.

@@FUTBALLZAK wait so season 2 or possibly 3 will be the end?
Honestly I'm ok with this not being insanely long. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood told a compelling story in just 64 episodes. While Demon Slayer will definitely run longer in terms of episodes. There is an ending in sight. How often can we say that about most anime from this genre?
how do you know that its the final arc?
There's so much I love about this show and I'm glad I watched it before I had long to wait before the second season.
Tanjiro's empathy not being a weakness or merely an informed character trait, but actually crucial to his personality. That he offers comfort to the enemies he kills, but he doesn't let empathy stop him from necessary fights.
The bond between a brother and sister which is a balm to my betrayed feelings surrounding Mikasa and Eren (I related so much to her as someone who would also go absolutely feral for my brother and family only for it to be revealed as romantic and Eren to be an abusive bastard.)
The quieter theme of strength being something you define for yourself, not something measured against others. Zenitsu would in other anime be considered a poor student for disobeying his teacher, for being weak and cowardly. Or else he would magically overcome everything through pure hard work (like Rock Lee) but instead the series seems to take the view that there's no such thing as a bad student, that it's actually the responsibility of the teacher to find a way to reach them. The students aren't meant to magically figure it out, they have to be given the right guidance before their persistance amounts to anything, otherwise they just persist in the wrong direction. It's so *rare* for anime.
There is some weakness in the central trio not really bonding much so far as they often fight separately, but I imagine that will improve later.
Fantastic editing in this episode. You made the video fun to watch and spoiler free for the current arc.
I can take no credit for that! Trey Allen, the video's editor, figured all that out on his own, and he is amazing
This anime rivals The Promised Neverland in my opinion. What's so great about Demon Slayer?
*Pretty much everything.*
Donnie Burgess There are a lot of dark fantasy anime series that aired this year: Demon Slayer, Promised Neverland, Shield Hero and Attack on Titan S3 Part 2.
He has a different energy than other fighters in anime. He reeks kindness and empathy but at the same time he knows he has to kill demons. He always wishes them happy lives for when they are reborn and has a sad look on his face. It says a lot about his character
I really like how since he doesn’t want to spoil anything he shows the dad as the main bad spider when it is the son that is the worse one. It’s consistent through the whole vid and is awesome
