Kimetsu no yaiba came out of nowhere and placed on top in a short time so I decided to give it a go, compared to many shounen manga out there it didn't had that much chapters to read, and honestly after finishing this I really can't say I liked it

Story 4 : it's pretty flat to be honest, entire motivation of the tanjirou is just curing his sister other than this he and no reason to join demon slayer corps. Author really tries her best to give those demons some background but only think she can do is info dumping their back stories and expect you to feel sad for those demons. I really couldn't feel any connection to any character I'm this story

Characters 3 : they're mostly one note archetypes without barley any depth to them, when I read a story I expect more fleshed out characters with build up to their development so I can sympathize with them. When something bad happens to those well fleshed out characters I actually feel sadness but in kny's case character's development happens suddenly, pacing of their character arcs are pretty bad and doesn't feel natural at all and they suffer from "info dumping sad stories so you'll feel bad " syndrome. Main character tanjirou have 2 modes and this almost never changes, he's the nice young boy who feels remorse even for demean he kills and until last arc he never gets any development at all, and Nezuko... She's not even a character she's just a plot device. There's not a lot to talk about her

Art 4: it's medicore at best, pretty inconsistent at times and fight scenes can have so much stuff going on which tires the eye but sometimes there are some decent shots so I guess it's OK

Over all I really think this show didn't live up to its hype
