    Demon Slayer is the definition of perfection through simplicity. The manga and anime are stunningly beautiful and it does everything it has so well that there's a reason it breaks records and has become one of my favorite series of all time. And I'm an older anime and manga fan so I've seen a LOT of it.
    Agree with the premise of this video. Perfection can never really be achieved, critique is fine, but learn to love things that are flawed but still truly great

    PLEASE LOOK AT 3:40 before you come at me for calling demon slayer perfect😭 yes it not only has flaws but when compared to anime classics it’s not on the same level. But my point of the video is to reinvent “perfect” instead of meaning something’s flawless it should mean the pros outweigh the cons by a lottttt and demon slayer does that by far to me 🤷‍♂️

I’m 50 and I’m no super fan of anime...., to say that my son was watching it (like many other anime that he watches) I sat with him for a minute when he was watching Demon Slayer the spider mountain thing and I was hooked!!!

    the only bad thing i hear people saying about this anime is that either the animation caries it hard or that the story is very simple and not as complex as naruto or any other shounen. like how is that a negative thing lmao, i find ds extremely easy to watch and is perfect for beginner anime watchers. its simple and fun but also has that incredible godly animation which is just so beautiful to watch and enjoy.

    • @AntiKash
      @AntiKash  Год назад +1

      Exactly fam, that’s my entire point, I get that it’s not the most complex anime and it’s plot is nowhere near AOT but why has that become the standard. It’s amazingly animated and just a genuinely good watch.

      I also need to say that there’s levels too it, this is a perfect anime in the sense it’s easy to get into and super easy to enjoy. And that’s not a given for any anime, now if people want to compare it to AOT, OP, FMA, of course it’s nowhere near the same, but that’s the thing, there’s levels to it. I’m not calling demon slayer a necessary classic, I’m just saying it’s been amazing and seems to only be getting better!

    To be honest someone finally put it into words. Demon slayer is not a great anime because of the complexity like some of the newer great like aot but it is great because of hoe simplistic of story can imbue with great morals still. Its why a lot of fell in love with anime. Some of the greatest anime have a relatively simplistic story but greater deeper moral basis plus animation for the time they came out. Demon slayer while simple make you feel connected to the characters and makes you feel as one of the characters. I probably said a whole lot of nothing and i wont make it seem like my itty bitty speech meant anything but its the best way i could put it into words and i love it still and i love demon slayer for the way it made me feel. This anime is great and idc what anyone says.

    • @ricnboii33
      @ricnboii33 Год назад +1

      P.s.
      Tanjiro being such a kind soul is also why i fell in love with demon slayer. Like he said and before i watched i though it was just another big manga/anime that people were buzzing about then my buddy told me about the spider demons and i got invested base off of my own imagination of how could such a kind heart still kill the demons when the demons seem more human than demon. Then i watched and i realized why but fell even deeper in love with how simple but deep the story could be at times. It hit me to my core especially since at the time i was in afghan taking lives for what i thought and still think was right at the time and it gave me a better understanding of what i was doing and how felt and feel about things. Just like how he also brought up with naruto its not always about being the a badass and not caring but being that badass when the time calls for it but also loving. Tanjiro shows what it is to be a man and in full masculinity with showing that its not always about just being tough and hard but being tough when you need to being able to express your emotions when it is needed. Being able to go through it and tough it out and show the ferocity when you need to but also be gentle when it comes time to. As i learned from watching blacksmith videos and idk how correct this is but “a hard edge with a soft spine” denoting the metal used for the edge and the metal used for the spine in the way of making a katana for a samurai. Resonates deep if you are a man because everyone wants to be “that” samurai that warrior for those they care about but what happens when your hard sharp edge comes in contact with what you love? Although I may have been trauma bonding with a show but as naruto was for my childhood until it ended demon slayer filled the void in my adult life and i feel like the show has much more to give if people stopped being so caught up in what people think and just liked what they liked and expressed that. Im sorry creator if you read this and feel as though i am dumping way too much into this comment but your video got to me and just opened a bit for me. Like he said dont stress to much about being a critic to an anime at the end of the day we are all viewers and gonna watch no way so just enjoy it. Let it make you feel something and dont judge it because it aint making you play 4D chess with the story, that doesnt it make it mid. Its still great. TL;DR: i know this probably mad long simple answer show good for being simple/stop being a bitch and like what you like also probably mad typos or grammatical errors but fight me.

    I nearly got in a flame war about demon slayer where a bunch of comments were calling it overrated or trash. I confronted and askes for examples and the only one any of them could say was that "it's filled with plot holes!" Which i asked them how they thought that and their response was essentially, "Idk man! Theres no real lore on the demons and how they came about or the connection between them and wisteria tree!" And i had to explain to them that literally wasnt a plot hole. Plot holes are actual contradictory information either shown or given in the show, timelines or events that dont line up or characters suddenly flipping and going against everything they've stood to be for no natrative reason. That what they were complaining about was a lack of story being fleshed out, where if thst was the case and the autbor rrally did do something like that, just infordropped all related history and events anytime something is brought up, they would just comolain and hate that too because it would read like a freaking instruction manual written in crayon.

    I don't agree with your view on this anime, especially as a manga reader, but I still respect your opinion. An interesting fact about Demon Slayer is that the mangaka took major inspiration from Gintama and Bleach. That's why Gintama The Very Final and Mugen Train aired around the same time. Although Gintama is a masterpiece of writing in general, as opposed to Demon Slayer, I still have supported DS because of a mutual love I share with the author.
