Kimetsu no Yaiba review

I am disappointed. I began reading this with so much enthusiasm and interest but as the story progressed I gradually lost more and more interest. I had high hopes that the story could gradually redeem itself but I don't believe it did.

Story: My impressions of the first couple of arcs were very solid. I genuinely had an interest on how the story would continue. But after a while there was a very noticeable pattern. Fight a demon, get a backstory, feel bad for them, then defeat them. Rinse and repeat. The arcs never really felt all that meaningful and somewhat forgettable at times. The last several chapters were bland and didn't feel like they were even the end of the series because it never got me excited. The amount of plot armor the main characters got throughout the series especially the end was insane.

Art: The art was ok. Nothing amazing. At times it was somewhat weird but it wasn't bad. It didn't add anything in any way other then maybe some times of comedy or something.

Characters: I think this may be the only area that I can truly say it was decent. I say this because the main trio have good chemistry and all fit their roles decently well. In the story later on they kind of fall into the background in my opinion being much less useful then in the beginning. Nezuko was just a plot device for tanjiro. I thought of her as just the box at times because there really wasn't many times for her to really stand out. Tanjiro was boring sadly but his chemistry with other characters made him decent. The side characters such as the hashira or pillars where much more entertaining. I genuinely enjoyed when they popped up and had greater roles in the manga. Overall decent characters.

Enjoyment: Best way to put it is I enjoyed the first couple arcs then I lost interest. Everything became stale the further it went. From someone who really liked this story and really wanted it to get better I just can't say I ever came to enjoy it as I originally did.

Overall its something that is a decent read at best but its not anything that will blow you away. Great start but terrible ending. Story got old quick, art was okay at best. It was something with a lot of potential but its sad to see it end so poorly.
