Review of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc

GOD-LIKE SEASON: The-hype ⚡ never-ends. Demon Slayer were famous for some of the most legendary episodes in Animes. From now on, they will referred to as one of the most Epic Series in the Anime History of All Times! Now, as this season has been ended, I've completed my full review on it. Even if you haven't seen the previous seasons before, you can still free to read it, as it doesn't contain any spoiler. Revel in; I wasn't expecting myself reviewing Kimetsu no Yaiba. Even though I liked the first season, I had mixed feelings about the concept of the show. Is it gonna berefreshing? Or is it gonna be the same over-used shounen again? Is it only the art style that will separate this show from the others? Speaking of the art, I also thought that the art was weird at first, instead of what it actually is. Which fact is also true for the previous question marks and describe this show as a whole; Completely breathtaking.

🌸 Story 7/10

Kimetsu no Yaiba is actually well-done, story-wise, as I've seen a few similarities between other anime. What made me forget those comparable/alike story/characteristics connection's etc. at some point is that this show managed to be different in almost every aspect. Showing us things from a new perspective, even though I can recall where I've seen "those" before, it was a actually new feeling, a new moment that I lived though the story of Kimetsu no Yaiba. That's what I really appreciated while watching this show. I felt that I could be a little kid again, as watching badass cool stuff happening in various styles in front of my eyes is the best thing ever. That's what shounen is all about: to be flashy, cool, action mixed somewhat deep story based show. That's my people, Kimetsu no Yaiba at it's finest.

As of now, there's really nothing else needs to be discussed about the story as we are still in the middle of the third Arc. However I believe people who've already seen the first season knows where the story moves from it's delightful narrative. Which makes it clearly enjoyable, so the story gets a solid 7/10 from me. I am really excited as to what is about to come!

🔥 Characters/Dialogue 9/10

The characters. I mean, wow. Honestly, it's hard to find a better cast when it comes to it what Kimetsu no Yaiba has to offer. They're all lovely and likable characters who have their own goals and ambitions in the story. I like the synergy between the main trio, which is quite rare and unique on its own. I have to mention Inosuke since the "Mugen Ressa-hen Arc" is fairly growing on me. His moments are some of my favorites, alongside Zenitsu's funny and warm expressions. They really feel like a good team. 9/10.

As of writing this review, I have noticed that most reviews are bringing up the dialogues negatively. I think there is nothing wrong with the dialogues. First and foremost, the characters don't talk in a way that younger audiences will find some difficulty in understanding. If they sound stupid, they are. If they sound out of place, they probably are. I can't see any problem with that whatsoever, because which shounen or animes in general hasn't had stupid or even meaningless dialogues? In Kimetsu no Yaiba, they don't talk much, but when they do, they are either funny as hell or emotional/serious. Because of this, I am always impressed by their VA's work which is always top-notch by the way. Either way, I might have missed something. Besides, it hasn't disrupted any of my enjoyment on the show.

The conversations might not influence the story progression that much, but helps to keep maintain the act and carry us through one phase to another, like how every dialogue should be. Nothing more: straight and simple.

🌊 Art/Characters design 10/10

The art has to be the peak of this show as it is one of the parts that doesn't have to be discussed much. As I mentioned earlier, I thought the art sucked, but oh boy, I was very much mistaken. The anime's traditional Japanese art, and character designs are absolutely incredible. Whether it be a fighting scene or just a relaxing landscape, it was highly well-done, to the characters eyes and their customs. I have to highlight the demon's designs and the body structures in general. The male characters look handsome while the females are as womanly-shaped they can possibly be. There are no ecchi for the sake of ecchiness, in fact, there is zero unnecessary content in this show. They just look very attractive and hot. As for design, Daki is my personal favorite in this arc, but Douma is also gonna be sick as hell. Likewise "Charley's three angel" Suma, Makio and Hina the perfect incarnation of Inusuke, Zenitsu and Tanjiro's female version appearances is hilariously epic through the charm of Tengen-sama. Characters that we already known from before like Shinobu or the mains are also A-1.

This season craftsmanship was the pure definition of love and care for anime, every scene and every detail was crafted with such care and passion. So the art gets the obvious 10/10. Absolutely incredible work by ufotable and credit to the creator as well!

⚡ Sound/Soundtrack 7/10

I believe Kaijura Yuki, one of my personal favorite composer, and her amazing touch really shows in this series in a similar fashion;If you familiar with her other works on~;Tsubsa Cronicles, Fate series, or Kara no Kyokai' ect. ~You can tell. She is an amazing talent and did an incredible job in Kimetsu no Yaiba as well. The same praise goes to all the openings and endings. The music is smooth and in harmony with the frames, making the fighting scenes more intense, the drama scenes more sorrowful, and the funny moments more hilarious. Nothing extreme, but a really catchy 7/10 for the tunes.

💥 Enjoyment 9/10

It's hard to describe the feels, what you're experiencing while watching marvelously epic fighting scenes bond perfect harmony with deep emotions. Just staring out of your physical body: Mesmerizing. While your chest filling tight, as it goes ample by the overload of emotionally various events. The way it's ready to tear you up, but you manage to hold it back, just barely in your throat
where all the things rashly flowing together, you can't even swallow...

-Yeah, this Arc is pretty much fire.

✍️ Conclusion

Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of those rare shows that definitely deserves all the love it gets and its current main score as of writing this review, which is 8.60+. I must have to admit that I've slightly overlooked it's flaw's, as it doesn't really effected my overall enjoyment on the show. Even if the story isn't that brilliant or it has some inexplicable errors. Therefore, I can understand if you think this is nothing more than an average show or even if you think it's a masterpiece. Either way, we have to appreciate creations like this, because Kimetsu no Yaiba is undeniably a work of art in the 21st century.

If it wasn't clear enough how happy and hyped I'm about this series then you probably think I'm just over my head. Maybe, but the truth is why I'm really happy about is that we finally have a real diamond in the shounen genre that will never be forgotten, neither gonna lose it's spotlight for a long period of time.

⭐ Overall 8.4 / My personal score: 9.4 Goated season.

Highly recommended!
