Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

There are very few anime series that I will watch more than once. Demon Slayer is one of the exceptions. I can watch it over and over and over.

Brief Summary. A simple coal seller named Tanjiro finds his mother and siblings slaughtered by demons. Only one family member was spared. His sister, Nezuko was alive, but no longer human. Determined to find a way to turn his sister back to a human, Tanjiro embarks on a journey to become a demon slayer, find a cure for his sister, and exact revenge against Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of all demons.

Why Demon Slayer? What makes Demon Slayer compelling is the character development of Tanjiro, the main protagonist. Despite the odds against him, he manages to complete his demon slayer training. He maintains a positive outlook and a caring heart, so much so, he feels pity and sadness for the demons that he kills. Tanjiro is constantly evolving into a stronger version of himself, mentally and physically. The dedication to his sister is heartwarming, but at the same time tragic.

Roller coaster of emotions. I cried more than once during the series. It’s dramatic at times and funny at times. Serious at times and playful at times. Demon Slayer runs the gamut of emotions.

Awesome animation and action. The animation, in my opinion, is top notch. I fell in love with the art style. The action scenes are also stellar. They’re engaging and dynamic.

Excellent support cast. Zenitsu and Inosuke are two of the best sidekicks. Not only do they bring comic relief, they support Tanjiro in the best way possible.

There are so many reason to love this show. I can’t wait until the next arc.
