I don't write these. this is my first,
this show is a gift from the anime gods. it is perfection. not an opinion. a fact.
8 episodes in and they are all flawless. except the fact i want more of them.

The Plot effortlessly moves between powerful, creepy, hilarious, and emotional.
You love the characters. You are invested.

Animation is honestly so gorgeous it ruins other animes for me a bit.

Stop looking at reviews and hit play, you're welcome

START WATCHING THIS NOW, EPISODE 19 IS A DAMN HOLIDAY.

IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY... I SAID "OH Sh*@!" like 3 times

Just the entire package of how they weave the music into the fight scenes, their color schemes, and the character designs just make this an untouchable series. This is one of the most SOLID shows I've stuck by to watch. And is definitely in my top 3 favorites, and it hasn't even ended the season. I have no words for this one.. LETS KEEP IT ALIVE

Edit after ep.8: This is the new measuring stick. The show rose the bar on animation quality, music, story, and direction. This is how you make anime! It puts the 5 star anime from the last few years to shame! See bellow for details.
Edit after ep.4:The anime get's even better. If they leave us with only the 4 episodes, this is still better than most anime ever. I'm not one to exaggerate, or heap praise, the classic water homage, the vocals, music, setting, everything is on point. Not to forget first boss battle done right in a long time. No useless power up sequences, everything was fast pace like a sword fight ought to be! Very satisfying, maybe close to original Berserk demon fights, but better animation and even less wasted efforts.

Initial impressions: If you're tired of Marry and Mark Sue characters who "awaken" and just have a super power, and are unstoppable, watch this show. Oh boy, our protagonist's road to power is highly realistic even if most of it is folklore and mysticism. At the end of the training, he would be a force akin to a demon to the layman's eye.

In one of the episodes he trains so much, he wears off the skin of his palms off. Been there, done that before a race. It happens, and it doesn't really hurt more than average durring training, but the morning after, oof, that burns! Our poor orphaned hero has just one reason to train this hard, his pure brotherly love for his sister.

The chestnut haired hero returns home to find all his brothers and sisters killed, his mother eaten half through, the shocking image sends him reeling, and he trips over his half dead sister. Throws her on his back and runs towards the town. On the way it's found out that she is a demon, so he is sent to a demon slayer trainer, as he vows to turn her back.

Simple story, told in a magnificent way. The animation is well detailed, so far the cover art shown is the same, maybe even lesser quality than the actual anime. The story is not pedantic, but it isn't simplified either. Things that must be said aren't glossed over, but aren't repeated ad nauseum either. The pace is nice, and the humor is a welcome surprise.

If you are just starting, I recommend watching episode 1, 2, and 3 together since there is a bit to unpack. But, if you can't, watch 1 and 2 at the very least, since episode one is way more sorrowful, than the anime mood in general is intended to be. Watching episode one alone is a lot like eating the mustard without the hotdog, yes some love it, but it's too much for most people.

While there are a few cliches in the opening episode, some of that is natural when it's such a popular genre. It's well written.

The animation feels well blended with some CG elements, and overall feels smooth. The artwork, while not overly complex, is also solid and has a good feel. The details are in the right places. While the premise isn't really new, they still manage to make it quite interesting. My only complaint is the way they occasionally talk down to the audience with excessive monologues. Yes, I saw what happened, I don't need the characters to explain what I just saw by talking out loud. Still, this anime is very good so far, and I look forward to each episode. Just when you think you have the world figured out, it branches out just a bit more...

Kimetsu no Yaiba came out 3 years ago in weekly shonen jump along with The Promised Neverland, and Dr.Stone. But unlike those series, Kimetsu is underated (in the west).

It's definitely going to gain more recognition with the anime and be counted amongst the greats (DB, YYH, OP, HxH, Naruto, etc) as people get further into the series.

Just 1 chapter in & it became one of my favs. Now it has a superb anime adapation. ^__^

One of the best Shonen adaptions of our time and by far the best show to air in 2019.

The heart and soul of amazingly talented staffs at Studio Ufotable translated into this emotionally charged and visually stunning series, creating a roller coaster ride filled with breathtaking moments. The Ukiyo-e style splash action sequence and seamless 3D incorporation further enhance the intensity of critical decisions in this Dark Fantasy, taking viewer immersion to a whole new level. Excellent overall execution and cinema level quality production down to every last detail. This is a Must Watch.

Rating: 5/5 - A masterpiece. I would recommend this to everyone who loves anime.

As much as I love the anime as a whole, I mostly came here to rave about its unique and incredibly visually-stunning art style. Many anime of the current age is full of shoddy 3D animation that has taken over the market. So this is a refreshing piece which I welcome with open arms. With its unique character designs, fluid action sequences, and gorgeous landscapes, weaving a tapestry of eye-gasmic beauty!

While Demon Slayer is full of well executed plot points, so far at 7 episodes there has been a disappointing level of character development. Thus far, Tanjirou's (the protagonist) only known traits is his determination, his protective nature of his younger sister, and his good natured spirit. These character qualities can be seen in any number of action-oriented shows, and given the unfortunate circumstance of Nezuko Kamado (Tanjirou’s sister), her character will probably be relegated to an ‘unforeseen’ plot twist to stymie Tanjirou in his quest. A quest that feels somewhat predictable given Tanjirou’s motivations; however, an exciting one, nonetheless.

All in all, this is a beautiful anime with an intense amount of action. And I don't mean intense as in nonstop, but given the rather dark side of the underlying plot, it is rather in a fashion where you can feel a tension accumulate and surge up as Tanjirou moves from one challenge to the next. But I love that this series gives an appropriate amount of time spent on each of those challenges; it neither needlessly draws any sequence out with unnecessary "white noise", nor does it cut anything short, but rather has a good flow of the story line as a whole. I recommend everyone give this one a try! And did I say it is gorgeously animated yet?

Starting from a couple years back I would have never thought this story to be adapted into a full animated series, but learning of it's adaptation by Ufotable was a dream come true.

For those who are just curious, I have found (after rereading from the beginning for a third time while new chapters/episodes come out...) that the anime so far - in the time I am typing this up - has more than perfectly followed the manga with certain scenes matching up perfectly with panels from the manga . Actually, instead of removing or changing parts, they've ADDED minor bits and details showing how much effort is going into this story. Therefore I encourage those who are starting from the animated series to wait patiently for new episodes rather than moving to the manga because I personally believe it will be a much more gratifying experience!

I greatly appreciate Ufotable for taking this story into their hands and am genuinely excited to see the interpretations of character's voices and fight scenes by their staff. So far, the voice acting choices in my personal opinion have been close to spot-on. Let's go Kaneki!
