    As someone who grew up with family trauma this show hits me differently. I sob and cry most episodes of demon slayer 😅 this show tugs at my heart strings. I often sob when a demon dies cause they’re not all bad or don’t start out like that. I love this show cause it hits me at a visceral level and I’m really invested in the main character. I’m so grateful my bf got me watching this.

      Holy dam your way to emotional.
      The character deaths were so corny and just thrown in there I laughed .
      The emotional parts didn't even feel emotional die to the lack of character personality.

      Imagine discrediting someone's emotions on a story that resonates with them based on their ACTUAL life experiences. How pitiful do you have to be to do that.
      You need to go on your own character arc sir.

    Great vid. I always found it mind boggling why people hate on it. Its efficiency in storytelling is extremely underrated. Its always thematically consistent and authentic in a way that other "deeper"/"smarter" shows is not. Its always takes care on putting the person on forefront and not just viewing them as a cog in the plot machine.

    something i really love is the demon backstorys every time they die. to see how bad some of them had it and some real problems there are relatable to real life and feelings. My favorite demon is gyutaro it was kyogai but i can really relate to some of the feelings he had and I know I don’t have it so bad as him but when you can relate to some of the demons it just slaps

    this show is pretty cool. i never minded that its not anything new. its a classic kinda story. it works, the visuals are amazing, most of the characters are endearing. the story isnt overly complicated and its the kinda show that you can just enjoy. what really makes it hard in my opinion is Zenitsu’s character overall. my first watch i had to quit when he was introduced because of how insufferable he was. but thankfully i decided to push through a second time and i fell in love with everything else. from what i understand most people love Zenitsu because of how cool he is when he’s asleep and while i agree its still not enough to excuse how he is most of the time. he has these little moments here and there when he’s awake but then he just starts screaming again to remind you that he’s still annoying as hell lol def feels like a hurdle to go through every time he’s on screen.
    also Rengoku is awesome but i gotta admit when he died it was sad but it was also not…idk it didnt strike me as much as so many other people because we met him in such a short amount of time. not to mention it was kinda odd that the boys got so incredibly emotional over someone they just met? like even when Tanjiro flashes back to when they first met him it was literally just like “oh man remember all the good times we had” and it was just Rengoku eating and showing them that one super awesome/cool fire attack that happened an hour ago?? idk it felt odd. i was def more sad over the fact that we barely got to know anything about Rengoku and not so much when he literally got killed.

    As you've articulated, the show works because the characters drive the story forward. As the story progresses, we uncover reasons for people's odd mannerisms or difficult behaviors. But that changes when they interact with Tanjiro because as the heroic protagonist, his presence positively impacts people around him.
    I'm observing "Demon Slayer" through Western eyes and notice similarities between this story and Stoker's "Dracula" e.g. themes of salvation vs. damnation, various people united in teamwork. The demons are tales of tragedy, humans who fell from grace, while Tanjiro and Nezuko struggle to keep themselves (and each other) tethered to humanity. Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Tanjiro are their own merry trio we've seen in other stories (Harry Potter, Three Musketeers) and could represent the Id, Ego, and Superego.

  • @jlinus7251
    @jlinus7251 6 месяцев назад +7

    People always shit on it because the story is simple, but I disagree. A simple story doesn't mean it's inherently bad. If you master simplicity, it is still good.
    Also most anime have these overpowered people fighting eachother. There are stakes but not the kind where I'm often left wondering if someone will die. The fact that these are humans with no real superpowers fighting against demons who can grow limbs and have powers inherently makes their fights stakes really high. I think Shounen need to have that tension in their fights because its about action storytelling. I dont find this to be the case for most shounen. Some others do it well, but demon slayer really masters it in my opinion.

    demon slayer haters gotta be the most negative and annoying people ive ever seen.
    They complain that the anime is "carried by animation" when in reality its just a good series.
    They complain because there was ONE filler arc with non-canon fight scenes added by ufotable to make the season more interesting, and this is after 3 seasons of impeccable animation and godly fight scenes.
    They complain because "Demon slayer mark is op!!!" literally only the strongest people in the entire series unlocked it which was only 9 people because they were (like i said) the strongest people in the entire verse excluding the golden age slayers but we dont know enough about them to rlly include them, either way if your gonna complain abt ds mark we can go into all other types of anime power ups and see every little tiny detail about whats wrong with them.
    In conclusion, demon slayer haters have no concept of what character development is and expect a flawless story with only fight scenes and nothing else.

    Wow…
    Honestly: I absolutely hate the show! I watched up to the introduction of the firebreath, and never started to like it (except the first 2, maybe 3 episodes. Those were incredible at introducing us into the world, and the characters). Everything was there: great character ideas, location and magic concepts, the animation, the voice acting,… But one thing ruined the show so completely for me, that I had an absurdists existential crisis of where I was right then in the grand view of the universe when I watched the firebreath scene. It is incredible how much the show managed to take me out of the moment.
    The main big problem that I have isn‘t with the awful comedy, or the weird structure of the episode, to end a story in the middle, and end with a cliffhanger - It‘s the problem of narrative communication with us vs the characters of the show, and (which is even worse): it in general!
    Elements, that should have a deeper explanation, either don‘t get one, or get them in the worst possible way in overview of the show:
    - The Sword System has reappearing elements here or there, but we never get a hard system like in Avatar: the last Airbender, or Fullmetal Alchemist. This is a large missed opportunity, seeing how I often tried to think of what move Tanjiro, or another character could do next to solve the problem, but I‘m always blindsighted by a trait, or form that I didn‘t even know existed, or was possible. The incredible thing is that this counts everywhere - not just the sword system. We never know of an enemy trait, or character longer before the characters get know, and directly solve, or use them. They have a short scenic introduction, and bam! Here they are. Deus, Character and Problem ex Machina x9000!
    - (Edited in:) The Explanations for the characters, and the powers often are just not enough. Just think about why Zenitsu only remembers in his sleep, and not while awake. There is no explanation. (This point actually is from a video I just watched where I noticed that I completely agree with this. The other ones are completely mine alone though…)
    - Build up for explanations is always done in a way, that it should be expected that the characters go after them, but they always forget these or something so that only viewer, and the specific characters involved in the explanation see the explanation. It is incredibly strange to see Zenitsu fall asleep, finish everything, and the characters never mention it after it happened, as an example.
    - Sometimes the characters just magically know explanations (or it just feels like it). Just look at Tanjiro avoiding the papers on the floor, or him mercifully executing (please also tell us you can do this, before doing this) the „spider-mother“. I would perhaps be OK with how it was shown in a more western, show don‘t say driven story, but in an anime? Please just give me a relatively long monologue where he explains what he feels, and give me something like a visual overlay of Nezuko on the face he‘s about to destroy! Just something! Please!
    Because of this I am so taken out of the show, that it is incredible to me how anyone can enjoy this. Differing tastes are just very different in this case I guess… Anyhow I am glad that you can enjoy the show, since I just can‘t.

Just rewatching it with my little brother made me cringe, not even the jokes were funny and there were idk how many moments where the show could have ended for example in mugen train ehen he was in sleep and his killer was like "your core is too nice too kill" or some shit like that.

      Wow Guts is a complex character as are his party members and enemies. The world is also complex as are the relationship between each character.
