Well, as the person with a Tanjiro tattoo, I feel as though it's my duty to write this review. It's my moral obligation at this point >.< Anyways I'm not really good at writing reviews but oh well....
Lemme just preface this all by saying that Demon Slayer isn't trying to be exceptionally good. It's not trying to be the best anime in existence. However, it takes cliche themes and works with them really well. Even though you already know what this type of story entails, the characters are riveting, the story is compelling, and the visuals and audio are amazing.
The characters in Demon Slayer are all unique and have their own personalities. No one is the same, and there's very few people you will actually dislike. I literally cannot wait to see the unique backstories of every character!! >u< Also none of the demons are ever the same, and all have unique personalities, looks, and abilities. (Unless you count the little insignificant dudes that are easily killed and don't have special abilities). I love all of the characters pretty much, but seriously, how could someone say Nezuko ISN'T cute??? She's just ;u;
The story in general is also really interesting and paced well enough that I can understand everything going on. I've never had to rewatch an episode because I forgot what happened. There's nothing overly complex, and I actually enjoy this type of simplicity because it's lowkey kinda comforting. It's really good to rewatch since you know what happens already but can still enjoy the anime again. Story-wise, I highly respect Tanjiro and his willingness to overcome every obstacle set before him in order to save his sister. He has an unwavering spirit that never gives up, and that's honestly why I had to get a tattoo of him LMAO. I also love how humane and compassionate and kind Tanjiro is even towards demons. He sees them as victims of circumstance instead of evil in and of itself. I also love the strong bond between him and Nezuko!! They're just ;-; so cute!!! I also appreciate how it slowly gets us accustomed to new characters and doesn't just rush all in at once.
As someone who is overly critical on the visuals and animation of scenes when watching, I can confidently say the visuals in this anime are to DIE for!!! The water effects are super nice and clean af, and the visuals in general are well animated and look great. The fight scenes are extremely well animated and look sick af. The unique art style is one of the things I love about this anime!!! Also the music and voice acting are really good too :3
Overall, 10/10
TLDR;
