Synopsis from MyAnimeList:

Ever since the death of his father, the burden of supporting the family has fallen upon Tanjirou Kamado's shoulders. Though living impoverished on a remote mountain, the Kamado family are able to enjoy a relatively peaceful and happy life. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to make a little money selling charcoal. On his way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take shelter in the house of a strange man, who warns him of the existence of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the woods at night.

When he finally arrives back home the next day, he is met with a horrifying sight—his whole family has been slaughtered. Worse still, the sole survivor is his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a bloodthirsty demon. Consumed by rage and hatred, Tanjirou swears to avenge his family and stay by his only remaining sibling. Alongside the mysterious group calling themselves the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjirou will do whatever it takes to slay the demons and protect the remnants of his beloved sister's humanity.

Review: I saw this anime mentioned on Reddit, YouTube, Instagram and even my siblings were mentioning it. I can see why so many people recommended this anime because it is a masterpiece. I love the character development and the music in this anime. I give it a 10/10 because this anime didn't have filler episodes and every scene was important. I am so excited to see the movie when it is released!

Kimetsu no Yaiba is an action packed anime. The animation for all the attacks are GORGEOUS. Every time I get to see a new attack I just marvel at how beautiful the animation was. The best part about this anime is that nothing is dragged on. Most fights against someone lasts 2 episodes at most. It makes the show become very action packed and exciting.

The main antagonist in this show are these demons. So far in the anime, we don't know how demons were created originally, but now these demons are all over Japan. These demons consume humans and have many special abilities that are pretty unique compared to any other show I've seen. Demon Slayers Corps was created to kill these demons, but they are at a huge disadvantage due to them being just human.



The setting of this anime takes place just after WWII I believe. Feel free to correct this if I'm wrong. The historical aspect of this anime gives a nice touch to all the characters. I love the mix of traditional and western style of clothing all the characters wear. It shows a lovely display of Japan 70+ years ago.

As for the characters, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I don't think there has been an anime that made me feel sympathy towards the enemy. Tanjirou has a way of giving every character this sense of awe and beauty. It is definitely one of the best aspects of this anime. Plus, Nezuko is sooooooo cute <3

Last note I want to say about this anime is it's animation. All of the skills from demons to demon slayers are all so beautiful. I love how even thought demon slayers do not have any supernatural powers, the show still decided on animating it. Every single form of breathing is beautiful. I'm curious what other animation we'll see later on. 



Welp, that is all for this review! I really enjoyed this anime and the music has made it onto my Spotify list. I hope season 2 will be green lighted soon. I'm so excited for the movie coming out! Have you guys seen this anime? If yes, what are your thoughts on it?
