I just finished watching Demon Slayer (my first ever anime)

[Darth Aries]

I have spent most of my life being aware of the existence of anime because it’s practically all over the internet, but I have never actually watched an actual show at all in my 20 years of life. That being said I picked Demon Slayer at complete random and watched it completely blind.

I got hooked on it pretty quickly and I loved the concept of demons being different ranks, and it made each major fight more interesting than the last. I watched this english dub because I am the human epitome of dnr (inb4 someone replies with dnr).

I appreciated how easy it was to understand what’s going on due to characters constantly having an internal monologue, even during fights. I also liked how each major demon had some kind of tragic backstory that you would get to see right before they died.

Since I went into the show completely blind I was disappointed that the show was left on a cliffhanger, but other than that I now understand why people enjoy anime so much (I never thought I would say that).

My favorite hashira is Rengoku, it was sad to see him die. My favorite Kinoe would be Zenitsu because he is always neurotic about everything which is relatable, and I also love how powerful he becomes while he’s sleeping.

Dogshit anime.

I guess that’s a good thing if I didn’t hate it. As I watch more anime they can only get better jfl

Good thing you started from a mid one. You won't get as disappointed by the next ones.

 

[BSGMANLET]

If you like Demon Slayer I recommend
Berserk or Black Clover.

Already on death note and I’m enjoying it so far

 

[Adolf Kitler]

Watch attack on titan, Code geass, and hunter x hunter

 

[SubhumanGamer]

it ruined my experience to know that the effects on the human techniques are just for the viewer so in universe they are just swinging a plain olde sword saying stuid shit.

 

[SubhumanGamer]

watch gundam next who doesn't love big ass robot combat in space and earth with themes of a child soldier's struggles

 

[Skelly]

watch death note or full metal alchemist brotherhood next - normie picks but they're good

Damn that’s retarded. The whole point of any animated story is to suspend disbelief, especially when the hashira are moving practically at the speed of sound during their attacks. You’re telling me that the entire show is just one big internal monologue with special effects, and from the third person it’s just awkward silence followed by occasional sword swings during battles? What about the rengoku fight jfl, that would be retarded without any effects. It’s too bad

it is all just plain swording. kinda gay when demons can do all sorts of cool shit but the humans are just like regular motherfuckers

Maybe that’s why the demons in the show thought so lowly of humans. You would see Tanjiro landing these fucking epic attacks that looked like absolute cinema but the demons were never impressed by the display of power, and instead taunted him throughout any fight until they were about to die. It’s easy to make fun of an ordinary looking swordsman when you’re essentially a supernatural entity, that is until that ordinary swordsman kills you.

Nah! The UfoTable Animation has spoiled a lot zoomers.

 

[Caesercel]

20 is a good age to get into anime. With age and maturity you'll eventually grow out of it.

This too. DS is not the standard and most anime have inferior animation

 

[starystulejarz]

It was a fun anime but also pretty low iq and forgettable show. Foid made it so it makes sense.

They traded their humanity for more power but it always corrupted them so it's a good plot point. Mangaka probably watched too much of Starwars

i couldnt take it seriously when they made michael jackson the main villain

I guess I had low expectations considering it was my first anime. Now I’m watching death note and I’m enjoying it considerably

 

[AsakangaHalo]

The whole time she didn’t need to be in it jfl, once she burned in the sun it didn’t even kill her
