New gen, old gen, any gen, Demon Slayer is the best of them all!
This kicks off immediately after the first season of Peak Slayer and it does not drop any momentum from the first season. Demon Slayer keeps us on our toes with its unique and intersting storytelling. Tanjiro and the crew go through many hardships which seem almost impossible to overcome, but they persevere and show us what true demon slayers are like.
So many Shounen anime follow the same troupes for characters, but not Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer goes above and beyond when developing its characters. We have Tanjiro who struggles and overcomes so much which makes it hard not to root for him. Zenitsu, who is one of if not the most badass anime characters of all time. Inosuke, who is so wild and energentic which totally makes sense because he was raised in the wild! Genius writing and development there! Nezuko going from cute and timid, to super duper strong and powerful was amazing character development too. Finally, we have Rengoku, our favorite Hashira. Rengoku's story arc is one of the most well written arcs in all of anime. His father didn't support him, but that didn't stop him from becoming the Flame Hashira. He kept on fighting and fighting and eventually he became strong.
A lot of people say Demon Slayer is carried by animation, but don't realize it's a great story WITH great animation. That said, no anime's animation comes even close to Demon Slayers. The fluid movements, great choreography, and amazing art style coming together makes for the best animation in all of anime. Sure, this is a movie so it should have better animation, but still even movies included nothing comes close to this level of art and animation.
Music to my ears. Most hype OST of all time. Makes the hype moments so hype and the sad moments so sad. The OST of Demon Slayer elevates it to a whole different level.
Extremely emotional ending that could bring anyone to tears. After witnessing the death of our favorite Hashira, Rengoku, this ending was just icing on the cake, the finishing touch, the glazing on a donut (Rengoku), an absolute masterpiece of an ending.
Best anime of all time. Enough Said.
