I had seen a line of thought going around that Demon Slayer is a bad series only held up by its animation, which I don't agree with AT ALL. Sure it's made some mistakes and has some weak areas, but the story and characters are done well for the most part. I think one of the strongest aspects is the sense of danger and struggle, suspense etc. The victories that do happen feel very hard-won and earned.

I think one of the strongest aspects is the sense of danger and struggle, suspense etc. The victories that do happen feel very hard-won and earned. I had this exact conversation with someone online after watching this arc last year, where I said DS was a very high quality shonen anime for all the reason you mentioned and of course he disagreed and called it average. I honestly don't know if these people just like to play devils advocate, but I cant see how you can call it average or nothing special. For a shonen in particular, I think it does a lot of things incredibly well and with all those things combined, it's hard to deny that it's a way above average show. I specifically mentioned the battles and how they are intricately coordinated, beautifully animated and feel impactful. The writing is no slouch either. It does shonen style battles and systems better than 95% of stuff you see today and holds up against the greats. It might not be an all time great but it's up their on the list imo. Top 20 definitely and probably higher for pure shonen. Edited June 23 by saito34 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 20 definitely and probably higher for pure shonen. Yeah, I have some quibbles with how some characters are handled, like Nezuko (though she had a good showing in this arc,) but things are mostly well-executed. As just one example, the fights have a real sense of peril and danger. If Tanjiro or anyone else gets seriously injured in a fight, it can take them a long time to recover and it may affect their performance in future fights. Characters we thought were invincible and would be a part of the action going forward, might die or be permanently injured, like Rengoku and Tengen. So, there's no healing up just like new for the next fight, as you often see in other Shonens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
