Review of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc
**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FROM SEASON 1 and THE MOVIE** After a long wait Ufotable finally graces us with demon slayer's new season. Honestly speaking I wasn't that hyped about Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc (Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen). People often call this anime overrated, is it though? Let's discuss Story: 6 Well there are many points I can defend Demon Slayer on but one part on which not even it's hardcore fans can't debate is it's story. It has a pretty basic plot an MC who was a normal kid before but due to some unfortunate incidents he became a Demon Slayer. It's basically the sameplot we see in various action shounen anime, kinda generic though. Despite of that it does few things different from other shounen's though it's not enough to make it stand out a lot. So, I would give it a 6 in story.
Art & Animation: 10
Even if you hate Demon Slayer you can't complain about it's animation. Ufotable took a below average art style to a whole new level. I often see many people watching Demon Slayer just because of it's animation. Ufotable actually did an amazing job adapting Demon Slayer especially the fight scenes looked really good and were a feast to our eyes. So, definitely a 10 in Art & Animation.
Sound: 9
The Studio did a good job for hiring Aimer for the Opening & Ending sequences. It really was nice to see something new this time. Other than that the OST's used in the anime were quite good too. And the most important thing the VA performance, each and every character's voice acting was done so good it felt like those character were speaking themselves rather than a voice actor doing it specially of Gyuutarou.
At that note I would give it a 9 in Sound.
Character: 8
After the introduction of upper moons in mugen train movie. I was really interested to know about upper moons more. This season does just that for me. We get to explore more about new types of demons, upper moons & hashiras. Every character got a chance in this season, all of the characters had a decent amount of screen time and played important role in the development of story. Each character had a chance to shine whether it be in action or just supporting the story to progress. So, I would give it an 8 in character.
Enjoyment: 9
Let's be honest here Animation & Sounds play an greater role in enjoyment from an anime compared to story. Though in the case of Demon Slayer the story is decent it doesn't bore you at the very least. It keeps you entertained. Meanwhile Animation and Sounds playing their own role in it. Overall speaking I enjoyed Demon Slayer a lot so I would give it a 8 in enjoyment.
Overall: 8
Now let's talk about "Is Demon Slayer Overrated?" I would say it totally depends on the viewers of this anime. This anime was just made for new watchers who just came recently and haven't watched much anime. So, I would say it's a little overrated in my opinion. As you can see it has just a basic story and doesn't offers anything new. I would give it a 7.5 but as we can't actually give it that in MAL so let's go with 8 or 7 (however you like) In my opinion it's an 8.
