Demon Slayer

So I just started watching and I gotta ask, WHY IS IT SO FUCKING BAD HOLY SHIT, does this show ever get good? Why is this show getting so much hype?

Ha ha lmao :)

Unironically, normalfags.

Most of the fans are old women who like the male characters.

What other shows do you like?

What other good new shonen anime is there right now?

Interesting. I mainly see younger male fans on Twitter but I guess the fans in Japan are fujos

>So I just started watching
ahahaha, you dumbfuck, why would you do that. just look at it. LOOK AT IT.

Not really fujos though, straight ships are a bit more popular

It's following the (battle) shounen recipe, of course it's generic and pretty boring. I wouldn't call it bad though.

Yay this thread again!

Good shows.

Try harder next time, man. Much harder.

>demon slayer
Nice blog AMERISHIT.

Be specific, that way we can create a taste profile to figure out why didn't enjoy it.

I bet he likes My Hero Academia

I agree but it would be nice to prompt some discussion with the reasons of why you don't like it instead of starting a thread with
>popular thing sucks

>does this show ever get good?
no

I bet that most anime and manga today have a big following of men and women on their 30s and 40s

Shows like Mushishi and Code Geass

You fell for the shills. kimetsu is dogshit other than one episode with above average animation, the rest is all shit.

Monster, Lain, NGE... Basically only masterpieces....

I didn't find it bad.
Just stupid
So much common sense was thrown out of the window to make for emotional fights

The weakness of demons is sunlight but all fights happen at night and no one bothers to just rip rooves open
Wisteria is poison to demons but no one plants them enmass and distributes them as poison and charms for everyone to use
Why are they not using guns loaded with Nichirin bullets laced with wisteria poison?

The only one who did was the guy who cannot use breaths and he was hated by his brother

Went through it a few weeks ago. Was generally okay for a typical battle shonen, really liked the Muramasa type vibe it had. Felt like the season blew it's load way too early though, dragging out a glorified training montage for like five episodes and making that the 'grand finale' was a chore to sit through.

The time period also feels kind of weird for what they're trying to pull off with the setting. Japan was thoroughly industrialized and participating in conscription-level international warfare by the Taisho era, Tanjiro and all his friends and basically every other male at or around his age should be filling Tzarist Russians full of lead or be training to do so at this point. This whole romantic-mysticism-of-the-samurai-way-fading-under-modernization thing is happening a good 50 years too late, it just feels strange and out of alignment to me.

>Wisteria is poison to demons but no one plants them enmass and distributes them as poison and charms for everyone to use
The organization doesn't have the power or land for that. The level of influence of the organization varies wildly anyway.

>Why are they not using guns loaded with Nichirin bullets laced with wisteria poison?
Didn't the ninja waifus use a lot of wisteria poison?

They literally have an entire village of blacksmiths, good sir.
Naturally, they should also have an entire mine to gather the ores for them and also a farm to harvest food for all those blacksmiths

Look. I didn't even watch a single episode of this, and yet I can tell with 100% certainty that this is absolute dog shit. Wanna know why? Because that's always the case if retards of some show start to shitpost in any other, totally unrelated thread about their stupid show, meanwhile the threads for their own show are a deserted wasteland. It's a dead giveaway. Always.
Then again, in this case you just need to look at the promo material to easily come to the same conclusion.

It almost only has 10/10 ratings if you look on MAL sooo...

I can see why you wouldn't like it then, are there any shonen battle shows you like?

>CODE GEASS

Well... Then Kimetsu no Yaiba is perfect for your taste

Yeah, and that's also where I take offense in
The show presents the idea that using poison is unique. If you applied logic, that poison should be distributed to everyone

They already distributes a trained bird, armored kimono and nichirin blades. Why not poison and charms as well? It's just pounded wisteria leaves

Watch it for the nezuko legs.

I don't watch alot but boruto is nice (I skip all the shit filler) and Black Clover is sometimes really good

Not bloody enough.

>sword slash but WITH FIRE
> sword slash but in slow motion

Woooww what a great show/manga so impresive

MHA and HxH

Oof

Half-oof

Feminism, no seriously ANN had shit tons of posts and articles on how a major shounen has so little fan-service and female characters that do something.

Really? Seems pretty similar to other shows of it's genre.

Drop it now, trust me.

Precure, Aria, Flying witch And tons of lighthearted anime shows desu.

This. Drop it like a newborn baby

this fag is the worst part of the show, made me drop it when i watched it the first time, only picked it back up for nezuko

>So I just started watching
>WHY IS IT SO FUCKING BAD HOLY SHIT
Finish the fucking season before judging. OP you are either an idiot or a baiter

It stays bad with some cool moments through in. Zenitsu (whiny lightning fuck) has only one moment in entire season that's any good, think 30 seconds vs hours of him being total shit

Pig guy is amusing but for the most part total shit

There's this really beautifully animated fight towards the end of the season but it was pretty much all for nothing


Basically, no, it fucking sucks, I'd rather watch Naruto or Bleach and I fucking hate both of those

>single character
lmao

Really? The show doesn’t have many female characters, and most of them don’t affect the plot that much. I guess their designs aren’t as revealing as other female characters in shounen, but there are better examples out there. Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Hunter x Hunter, FMA,etc. I like KnY, but it isn’t a feminist or anti-fanservice show

this is a retarded comment

Because that poison is not just one. Shinobu has multiple types of poison, and it probably takes much time in making. Plus Shinobu swords is designed to inject the poison, she doesn't just scratch the demon with it, she stabs demons multiple times.
Do I need to explain you anything else?

>most of them don’t affect the plot that much
What? Just WHAT? Are you crazy? Who killed the second upper moon????? Who poisoned muzan???? Are you retarded?????

>ANN
Kek, females in the series are outright stated to be much weaker then men

Also, I wonder if ANN cares about equal-opportunity fanservice shows like Fairy Tail, Magi, or MHA that include shirtless boys and busty girls. KnY actually has plenty of shirtless scenes for the male characters too.

I haven’t read all of KnY so my comment is a bit premature. I just think that the girls don’t drive the plot most of the time.

They don't go around distributing charms because the Demon Slayer Corp is a secret organization. They need to keep everything in secret in order to avoid being discover by demons. That's also the reason why they don't go around planting wisteria threes (also because wisteria don't bloom all year and a three takes much time to grow)

That's no excuse to not distribute it
Shinobu's entire martial art focuses on injecting it on a blood vessel like the neck
A mizunoto may not have the same skill but if you lace his blade and he cut a limb, that limb was infected and the demon is doomed.
Not to mention that most demons are on the same level as the Mizunoto and a basic wisteria paste would do the trick

Wisterias are cheap as fuck and they have a mountain of it converted into a demon prison. Be a dear and give it to everyone

Well, you are wrong. What drives the plot is a girl anyway

False, they are just not recognized as an official group
Also, planting trees are already easy by this point and can be mass produced using marcotting and budding - aka you attach a branch unto a different tree and watch it grow into an adult branch in just a year

They already have a mountain of it. Why not just import some leaves from there?
Convert a different mountain into a wisteria farm while at it

Wrong pic and subject

and you'd be mostly right
Nezuko is not even a character for 90% of the story

>A mizunoto may not have the same skill but if you lace his blade and he cut a limb, that limb was infected and the demon is doomed
This is not akame ga kill. To kill a demon you need to inject the poison multiple times on the same istant
>Not to mention that most demons are on the same level as the Mizunoto and a basic wisteria paste would do the trick
And so you have proof for saying this? Shinobu poison seems pretty complex

>the Demon Slayer Corp is a secret organization
Pretty sure that's just blatantly false

It's pretty bad but looks pretty at times. Literally only good for the sakuga.

I think you are forgetting that Demons are just a folklore tale in the KnY universe.
>Why are they not using guns loaded with Nichirin bullets laced with wisteria poison?
I think that would work with fodder demons (upper moons are just too fast) though I don't know how difficult it is to make guns instead of blades in the taisho era.

Ok then. use guns loaded with poisoned nichirin bullets.

>And so you have proof for saying this?
Charm was used to the marechi boy. I assumed that that it is enough to discourage even a powerful demon like Kyogai

You need to be a 40+ year old mom to understand this show.

>False, they are just not recognized as an official group
They literally do everything in secret to prevent muzan form discovering them
>Also, planting trees are already easy by this point and can be mass produced using marcotting and budding - aka you attach a branch unto a different tree and watch it grow into an adult branch in just a year
They need an entire mountain to keep demons in prison, just a branch (or even one three) wouldn't be enough. Also wisteria doesn't bloom the entire year

>Demons are just a folklore tale
They are not.
The Demon hunters are not recognized but they were not seen as frauds

More like an unrecognized organization by the government, though they do have their share of secrets like the identity of blacksmiths and the location of their village

>Charm was used to the marechi boy. I assumed that that it is enough to discourage even a powerful demon like Kyogai
No the charm is used to hide the kid blood type so demons wouldn't hunt him specifically

>3 fucking kimetsu bait threads up
What the fuck is going on today?

I liked it when Nezuko cried.

>Nezuko is not even a character for 90% of the story
And? The guy asked for females characters contributing to the plot. Nezuko is literally a female plot device. Shinobu, Kanao and Tamayo are fundamental for the plot. So yes females in KnY are relevant, really relevant

Prevent them from discovering the vital structures, sure. But they as an organization is not hidden at all, mate.

It blooms the entire year on the mountain and you should know that a single wisteria tree guarantees a safespot against low-tier ones. Even an evolved one like the hand demon cannot penetrate it.

Thus, why the fuck aren't towns surrounded by wisteria trees? Just use budding and marcotting
Even if they die in winter, that's still 3 seasons of safety.

I don't know about that
They specifically said that wisteria leaves are unbearable so....

Oricon sales per volume where published

it's a cycle. today is kimetsu bait threads. tommorow might be mha bait threads. then bc bait threads mix with some neverland.

Volume sales got put up. KNY took all the top spots again.

I would argue they are seen as a folklore tale, at least that's the impression Tanjiro gave on episode 1 during his interaction with the old man.
>they were not seen as frauds
have we even seen Demon Slayers interact with regular people when there are no demons involved though? I suppose some high class/noble snob would say they are simply wackos.

How common are demons anyway?
While they seem to show up a lot society doesn't seem to have noticed, so there can't be very many, or at least, there weren't very many until recently.

>But they as an organization is not hidden at all, mate
Tanjiro helped a guy who said "so demon Slayers are real, wow". They seems pretty good at hiding
>you should know that a single wisteria tree guarantees a safespot against low-tier ones
You don't know this, also there's an entire mountain to keep demons in prison, not just a fence of trees
>Thus, why the fuck aren't towns surrounded by wisteria trees? Just use budding and marcotting
Even if they die in winter, that's still 3 seasons of safety
Again you need tons of trees to imprison demons, an entire mountain. A village simply doesn't have enough space

This unironically made the show go from a 9/10 to a 3/10 fucking faster than any other anime has gone for me. There was a more serious tone at the start of the show and around episode 9 the tone drastically did a 180 to meme le loud is funny xD territory. Holy shit, how can people enjoy this garbage show???
