![]() There are multiple moments in this arc where characters would be pulled under situations where seemingly all hope is lost and countless lives are placed in peril. What we are met within this arc is none other than typical shounen tropes with exemplary performances attached to their name. But, as mentioned beforehand, this is all a very honest story. Nothing in this particular season stands out for what currently exists, and I would imagine that the quality would stay this way for future seasons to come for the anime (as well as from what I read, I can kinda confirm). But let's go over why the story isn't even bad in the first place rather than saying that it doesn't need to do X and Y.įor this particular season, Demon Slayer focuses on the chapter on Uzui Tengen and the three musketeers infiltrating the Entertainment District in search of Uzui's wives. It's unfortunate really that the story of this show will get overshadowed by standards it does not need to meet. People will throw around terms like the aforementioned but it is bizarre to me that it can be used so carefree in an anime that is also not trying to present itself in a genre with different motifs and themes running behind them irrelevant to the common ones seen in the genre it actually is inside of. It's even more concerning to know that many people will be very quick to call Demon Slayer "generic", and honestly, that is "true", but what the hell does that word even mean in an honest sense? Generic relative to what standard? Why is X considered generic and not just a plot device made to make the story go forward, because you know, plots need plot devices? When you say "generic", isn't that just a broad term taking in everything rather than looking at Demon Slayer as a shounen anime? Which it so happens to be one. ![]() I feel as if simplicity is often overlooked in media these days, something simple cannot somehow be appreciated equally as other more sophisticated titles out there. It plays its cards nicely, doesn't overstay its welcome with any lopsided tactics in a desperate attempt to engage the audience, because it is already amazing in itself. Not just that it is honest, but it also goes to no lengths to stretch anything out into absurdity. The story of Demon Slayer is nothing grand, but it is honest. Though something about Demon Slayer is still very striking and very honest that regardless of what you may think of the writing side, you have to admit that it has some masterpiece or at the very minimum, *good* qualities. It managed to get in the hands of a nice studio. I'd like to stress something, which I will do very soon. I've explained this before in another review of mine, however, I am going to be on a different side this time, and if you couldn't already tell from my score, the anime captivated me enough such that I do believe Demon Slayer is a work of art worthy of all the praise in the world. The first group will see any piece of animation ("art" works too) and call it the best thing in the world, the second will see said art and slander it by calling these works "overrated" and "overhyped" and literally any other words of criticism frowned upon via hidden reviewer rules as being lazy to use. It is clear to just about anyone who uses forums, reads reviews, or just chat with friends, will find that people will be on one of two sides. But anyway, before I get into the actual review, I'd like to do some talk on the community as a whole with fiction such as Demon Slayer. ![]() Anime so good I can assure you Japan is never going back into recession with this goat's existence. ![]() It will be on countless top 10s, it will be the classic of the future, it will live as eternal memory in the anime timeline. Despite the common horde of "criticism" the anime gets, Demon Slayer is the anime that has left a name for itself. Everything about Demon Slayer is of ultimate quality. Demon Slayer is the undisputed impeccable face of shounen.
