THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA nonstop screamings of the characters Oh boy There are two sides of a coin if youre talking about Kimetsu no Yaiba Either love and enjoy it for the animation. Or dislike it for the bad characters cringe comedy and the poor storytelling Animation is one of the main factors of an anime. However how can you enjoy the anime if the plot or the story is poor? This leaves these two words that wise men always said Does the animation triumph a mediocre writing?. Can you ignore one to enjoy most of them?. One of the confusing parts of the anime community is that if a franchise really sold well to the viewers they will claim it a masterpiece. And Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of them. Kimetsu no Yaiba: Entertainment District Arc is the sequel to the first movie of the franchise. The fans massively loved it for the great story great characters and for the animation that always triumphs. Hardcore fans always love to jump into the hype train and easily claim it as the newgen anime and masterpiece anime of all time. If youre new to anime you will absolutely love it. However if you see most of the shounen animes you might criticize them for the poor elements and plot inconsistencies. Before I discuss the pros and cons of anime I have to say a few things about the hardcore stans. Read and understood first my review before you attack my profile. So here it comes Pros 1.Animation The animation of this show is superb as expected from Ufotable. The viewers have always praised this show because of the art of this anime. The combination of 2D and 3D animation makes the whole show move more fluid. The cinematography and fight choreography are always fire. But I think its always Ufotables forte of animating things. The direction was pretty handled well but I always want to see some of its fights under the daylight. The amazing flashy things are always seen under the moonlight but I guess its because the demons are active during the night. 2.Sound The BGM was always good to the ears as expected from Yuki Kajiura. She blended the traditional Japanese music and the thrilling action sounds for the action sequences which is so great. The OP was catchy and its my first time to appreciate Aimers voice. The ED was good but I prefer more the OP than the ED. Cons 1.Story/Pacing I will discuss this as a former fan of the manga. Ever since the ending of the Mugen Train the next story arc followed this formula Theres a demon invasion in a certain place a hashira pillar will investigate it the three characters will join the hashira discover the world find the demon fight sequences some flashbacks and then boom ending. I saw it many times in some story arcs in the manga and it was almost repetitive. In this anime adaptation the pacing was slow and awful. The first episode of the anime that had 45 mins long consisted of the epilogue of Mugen train and the prologue of Entertainment District. The pacing of the anime was slow because of additional view scenes as a visualfeast. This arc from the manga had a nice pace but it seems the anime was just full of action sequences in most of the episodes. No character developments were seen throughout the entire season. The useless monologues of Tanjiro were shallow and repetitive in almost most of the story arcs. He just repeated himself that I can do it I have to break the neck Stand up Stand up etc. like the viewers might react We got you already dude. You said that for the nth time already. The fact that they were always bringing his dead family as his motivation to fight was utterly repetitive. 2.Comedy I get it that most of the shounen have comedy except AOT and D Gray Man if I may remember. The comedy in this show awfully sucks. I dont know if they are trying to kill the intense mood of the series or just comic relief. The scene where one of the wives of Usui helped Inosuke from fighting the demon and then one of his wives just pulled a joke because she was scared of death was frickin horrible. Even the other parts of the season werent great either. The comedy was 3x worse than FMABs and it absolutely cringed. 3.Characters Ill keep this short and straight to the point. The characters are annoying as their finest. The entire season was just full of action sequences and no character development whatsoever just like what I said earlier. The three main characters were just being them and no development and progress. Tanjiro was always relying on and bringing back his dead family as a motivation for fighting the demon. And then after that part boom Powered up to the next level Inosuke and Zenitsu were just a comic relief after all. Usui got a little bit of development but not enough to make him a great character. 4.Asspulls and Plot Armor This element made me why I absolutely dislike this show. I get it that most of the shows have these two but in this show it was countless times and getting out of hand. Its just they are not humans more powerful than the villains. I mentioned that Tanjirou always brings back his dead family right? That was one of the asspulls Ive ever seen. Many horrible plot armors Ive seen in this show like when Usui got his arm chopped but didnt die of blood loss and was capable of moving faster Inosuke could frickin shift his heart while he was stabbed in the chest Inosuke was capable of catching up Zenitsu after that poison Zenitsu capable of escaping the building and Tanjiro being alive after those massive injuries. I mean how the heck did they survive all of that? They are just humans right? Try those for yourself lets see if you can survive all of that. Kimetsu no Yaiba isnt a bad nor a great show. Its because the hardcore fans are always claiming it as a masterpiece and flawless which makes the show obviously bad. I really want to enjoy this show but it seems its hard to turn your brain off while watching this. This show is obviously for entertainment only and visualfeast. Some animes have a high level of animation but the story was bad or generic like GoH Takt. Op. Destiny MHA etc. However I dont seem to understand why fans dont consider Kimetsu no Yaiba is one of them. But thats just me and I dont care for anybody else. So thats it folks my review for this season. Ill give this a solid 4+ because of those plot inconsistencies. But I do admit that I somewhat enjoy this show and its direction. As an anime fan who always seeks a great story over animation I could give this a 3 or lower. But it seems Im generous this time. As a wrap of this review Ill quote this statement for the massive fanbase of this show Most of the people understood why people love Kimetsu no Yaiba. Its because of the animation. However can the fanbase understand why most of the people are criticizing the show and calling it a mid? Who knows? You might know the answer.
