Review of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc

I feel like there are 2 camps when it comes to modern Shounen anime. You either love it with all you heart and think it’s the best shounen anime or anime ever made. (Or) You hate it with all your heart and think that it has nothing going for it but the animation (sakuga) I say that Demon Slayer has a lot of potential because of its interesting setting. The story is set in a vast world with a lot of potential to become a great story but, unfortunately for Demon Slayer, the story being told is only as good as the characters through which the audience is experiencingthis story and world through.

Demon Slayer has some of, if not the most annoying characters in modern Shounen anime to the point where it’s unbearable to watch at some points. This was my main complain for season one especially with Tanjiro being too much of a Mary Sue, Nezuko being the Moe character and Zenitsu and Inosuke being too obnoxious and annoying. Don’t even get me started on Tengen’s wives, especially Hinatsuru.

Alright, you don’t have good heroes, ever heard of the saying “A hero is only as good as his villain”, we’ll it’s true and that drags this series even lower because of how shallow the villain characters are and they expect us to feel for them and gear up when they’re having their flashbacks before they die?

I feel like this series and MHA going head to head to be best shounen anime or best anime says it all about the current state of shounen anime. They’re both mediocre shows and have a lot of flaws and annoying characters.

The opening theme song and the animation I are the only things I liked about this season of Demon Slayer.
