Demon Slayer - Otherwise known as Kimetsu no Yaiba

[CreamyHerman’s]

Thoughts on the Demon Slayer series? I saw the Mugen Train movie and it’s pretty good. Here’s a trailer:

I really loved the show. It was beautiful, and more like a moving painting than your normal shounen anime. The music was grandiose and epic, the animation itself is the main selling point, and the story is basic yet well executed.
Very enjoyable show, would recommend.

Demon Slayer is an interesting case since I was under the impression that the manga was better than the anime adaptation.

Also, the supporting characters were better than the main ones:

Author should be commended for having written and illustrated 23 volumes and ending it in four years, and not dragging it out for over a decade just to serve fans a shitty ending they scrounged up once they got tired

 

[DoNotReadTheFinePrint]

This was the only anime (and overall series) I actually like the protagonists off. Beyond that, the stories great and I love the animation. One of the few things I watched in my life I've no grievances about.

its one of those shows that reminds me that im to old for shonen shit.

looks good thought.

Its kind of insane if you think about it, 23 volumes in four years is fucking crazy

gay black shonenshit bro of mine was way into it and showed me an ep or two, seemed nice enough, like Ye Olde Spoopy Japan shit like Inu Yasha but more shonen-y?

It takes place right before WW1 I believe

The Taisho period yes.
Japan basically went 50 years from feudal society to industrialized power. A lot of the rural area would remain technologically backwards even up to the second world war

probably one in the few series where all the characters were enjoyable. the movie did meet my expectations and more.

I figured, I like the running joke regarding how Inosuke thinks the train is some form of lord

 

[Pentex]

Good standard child-soldier-of-destiny, work-hard-and-you'll-win, power-of-friendship shonen fare.

Imouto-fags should love this show.

I like how the seemingly invincible Muzan is a secret coward who got his ass stomped by Yorichii 400 years before the series and his king of demons gimmick is a massive overcompensation.

Watched a few episodes and thought is was good. Didn't really hold my interest but it seems well made.

Not really since alot of mangaka that work for the big publishers like Kadokawa and Shueisha have to push out about 20 pages on a weekly/bi-weekly basis

...today I learned the Demon Slayer is apparently supposed to take place in the real world? I didn't know much about it before but I assumed it was just its own fantasy universe.

 

[ElAbominacion]

Better than most of its competitors.

Yorichii gave Muzan the Pepsi CM treatment.

It’s fictional, but the time period is real

I watched this a couple of weeks ago and had a fun time with it.

The fight scenes are of an especially high quality, particularly the ones in the mansion where the rooms shift.
