So now one of the story goals is for Tanjirou to become a Demon Slayer and to cure his sister of being a demon. Story- The story begins when Tanjirou's family is killed by a demon, all except Nezuko.

After some reflection I came to the honest conclusion that Demon Slayer is overhyped, and here are some of the reasons why.
#Animix demon slayer movie series#
But its funny how anime adaptions can help high-light some of the problems a series can be seen having.Īnd that was the case with the Demon Slayer anime, although not right away at first. And I was on the hype train for a bit without realizing it. Then again, I jump on a lot of series without giving the benefit of the doubt. I'm going to be honest, I think my first impression of Demon Slayer when it came out in shounen Jump back in 2016 was sort of high. I do hope everything got sorted out and they're doing well. It was a good read with many emotions and I'm gonna miss it.Īpparently, the creator had to finish off the manga due to personal family issues. Nevertheless, it holds a special place in my heart, I cannot hate it despite its flaws. Overall, KNY could've been a much longer-running manga if the storyline was more stable and well put together. The ending left me with a bitter-sweet feeling, but it makes me happy to know the pillars got reincarnated and are now living their best lives. At this point, it felt like the creator was just making things up along the way. imagine her going all out on Muzan in her demon form? Tanjirou turning into a demon was actually a good move and could've been handled better but it lasted 2 chapters. what happened to 'Red Light District arc' Nezuko? like. Then he turned into an overgrown baby and died. He "the most feared and ruthless demon" and all we got was him standing in one corner, swinging his tentacles for the entire arc while everyone lost their lives and body parts. I had high expectations for him and the final battle. Muzan ended up being such a poorly written villain.

he was just a kid and I really think he deserved a chance just like Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and Ino to have lived a happy life. Mui's death probably hit the hardest for me after Rengoku. The pillars could have all been absolutely powerful characters if they were more carefully written/fleshed out in my opinion.Ĭharacters started dying for no reason, at this point, it made no sense why. This might be a popular opinion but Rengoku especially had the potentials to have been the best character but he wasn't given the chance to be explored and was used as a plot device to motivate our MC. Many small yet important details weren't explained properly/ left out and it leaves me with many unanswered questions. The battle with Muzan for one was a huge letdown.Īlmost all of the characters had a lot of unexplored/wasted potentials. By the final arc, a lot of things were rushed and it felt like lazy writing. KNY started off on a strong note but had several plot holes along the way. However, KNY had the ability to have been better. Picked up this manga about a year ago and I don't regret it one bit.
