Like a spiral you say

i have developed a hate for the word overrated, why the hell are people letting groups of random people let your thoughts and feelings when watching something affect our views. If alot of people loves demon slayer over anything else good for them because then they are happy when watching it. Sure think something is overrated but stating it is for me like telling people to not like it as much as they want or dislike it as much as they want.

Sahar

Aw I wish I can experience the hype all over again... this anime and one piece I just want to keep forgetting and rewatching forever.

I've always loved Gundam for the design of the suits, but never got into the story. I loved Code Geass for the story, but wasn't a big fan of the art. Full Metal Panic? is ok, but I prefer FMP? Fumoffu for the out of place/school life comedy. I fucking love Gurren Lagaan all the way through.

VanguardDuelist

When you finish the series, I’d recommend watching the second movie as it improves upon the ending. It’s very good

Scott Brown

I think the word "overrated" might be fair, but it's still fucking amazing in my opinion. Like people said before me. The same studio that made Unlimited Budget Works really went all out on several of the episodes and pushed it way over the top. I, and a lot of manga readers, think season 1 was much better than the manga material, which is a REALLY rare thing for an adaptation to achieve.

Gurren Lagann does NOT raise the stakes 10x. It raises it exponentially.

Erich Bomke

You are not. Dororo was loads better. Demon Slayer just checked all the boxes for normie anime viewers. Its the animation that holds it up. The story is quite weak in comparison to others of its genre.

Brandon Divine

I swear the epicness of this show and their mechas are so cool

BeesKnees

I'm not making stuff up. So because someone else said a spoiler I should too? Spoiler warnings don't do much on Patreon comments unlike Youtube comments because you can still catch a glimpse of what someone says. Go ahead and make assumptions though.

Kyle Llewellyn

@BeesKnees almost like people have opinions and different tastes, just because you think he is bland or bad MC doesn’t make it true, also nobody has to prove you wrong. It’s an opinion for a reason, I also doubt you’d change your mind regardless. I read the manga far before watching the and I find it to be incredible

Gurren Lagann is the only show I know who raise the stakes tenfold EACH EPISODE! It's one of the most entertaining show I know.

Pucki

i could but what the point when my comments gets deleted? and you could put a spoiler warning in front of that . Because atm i dont see your point and thinking your just making stuff up and DanWhatev already spoiled a villian in the comments of the finale from Demon Slayer season 1

BeesKnees

I don't really see how you can prove wrong that Tanjiro is a good or interesting MC. He's pretty bland. And I don't want to specify that too much because of spoilers but it has to do with some villain reveals and deaths.

Alex Mills

How much longer are you gonna put off Harley Quinn?

Pucki

pretty sure it was deleted by a mod since i saw it up and it already had a like and BeeKnees i adressed all things you said in my post and proved them wrong but i guess there is no going back since it got deleted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and what moments are you talking about that need more build up can you give an example or are you just saying stuff?

BeesKnees

Ah I love the good old "people just hate on it because it's popular". Nah, it just has plenty of flaws and is pretty shallow writing-wise. Production-wise it's beautiful but in terms of character, story and worldbuilding I find it to be pretty weak. I find Tanjiro to be a weak MC with basically no flaws and zero depth so he's boring to follow. Muzan started out with potential to be an interesting character but ended up very disappointing and uninteresting. Some later moments that were portrayed to be emotional felt like they needed to have better build up or writing to support those scenes because they just didn't cut it for me. I thought most of the villains except for a small handful were uninteresting or repetitive. There are a couple solid characters but they don't make up for the rest of DS's shortcomings. There's just a lot of other better series out there I'd rather spend my time on.

BeesKnees

I wouldn't agree with using that as the replacement, but would be nice if they checked it out at some point. Unfortunately it's not dubbed so idk if they'd ever watch.

Cadmus Lochlan

I usually copy my comment before posting it just in case.

Pucki

nope i was writing in response to garret gee and Danwhatev it was a huge post

Cadmus Lochlan

if its the comment about "liking it more if it didn't have as much fan service" then it is still there.

Pucki

why is my comment deleted?

The Sci-Fi Slut

I knew they would love this anime, it's hype and action personified

The Sci-Fi Slut

Eric is catching on quick with the power source of the mechs UwU

Chris D. Jones

Really!? What a legend

Nick R

Isnt the busty red head like 14 years old?

AnEnthusiasticKoala

Lmao demon slayer haters still mad that they can’t comprehend how the show is so popular.

Joel

Saw episode 1 when you guys released it, somehow binged the show this week. All I can say is why have I never seen this anime?

Garrett Gee

For anyone who likes Demon Slayer, how were you introduced to it... I read the manga when it started so I read it for a bit but after getting a little further than what the anime covered I had to drop because Demon Slayer is exactly what it is. A completely Average show with some decent characters and some completely forgettable ones. I honestly cant even remember the main Villains name. I mean everyone calls him Michael Jackson not his real name. Yes I know it is a meme but its also indicative that the audience of the show doesn't have much respect for him as a villain. For example I never hear people in a community describing"L" from Death Note as some meme, there are memes about him but he himself isnt a meme. Demon Slayer's popularity is entirely dependant on the animation studio behind it. I dont like fan service at all and that is a turn off for me in this show, but its still decent I wouldnt put it in my top 10 I dont think but maybe top 15 or top 25. If any fans of the demon slayer show can explain to me why its good completely ignoring the anime, then @ me because I honestly would like to hear why people like it but its just so cliched and doesnt execute tropes well in my opinion, like Rick stated in the finale, Its fine, but I've seen it a million times in a million shows.

There are a lot of people who think it's overrated. This is just my opinion of course, but I think KNY is elevated heavily by its great production values. Certain criticisms are common for the series also: Tanjiro is mediocre, Muzan is not well-written, the ending and final arc/battle were not good, Nezuko has no actual character besides being cute and innocent, etc. I found Gurren Lagann to be absolutely better in virtually every aspect (directing, writing, animation, theming, OST, character designs, etc.). The first half is great and the entire second half of the series is legendary (especially the ending). Again, just my opinion

Cadmus Lochlan

I'm still trying to figure out what you actually like, if anything.

AnEnthusiasticKoala

Lol this show is on the same level as demon slayer. This show is way more overrated than Demon slayer has ever been.

Cadmus Lochlan

You're not the only one. It is for some people and for others it is not. I personally believe all the hype comes from the animation, so people are more accepting of the story/characters/flaws, etc. Its not a terrible show, but not worth the hype.

Jax

Yes, you are

Cadmus Lochlan

I like Eric's optimism in regards to the ending. It's going to be ok, Eric. We're here for you.

Ghost_Troupe

It’s great hearing Gohan be so badass in this series lol

Pucki

because there is no fan service with showing boobs and butts? i would like Gurren Lagann way more than i do if it wouldnt have that..

Quinton Teratino

random question but am I the only one who thinks demon slayer is overrated?

Quinton Teratino

Yeah, its not for everyone. But it's a great show despite being old anime.

Jeroz Avlesair

as addition i'd say, since it ramps up nicely.

Scott Brown

I wonder if we could petition to get them to watch the final fight from the second movie instead of the last episode or something. Or maybe in addition to the last episode. Always felt like that's what they wanted to do in the series, but didn't quite have the time to animate it.

Montie

Rick...you sadden me that you didn't notice Bokuto and Kamina have the same catchphrase... are you really a Haikyu fan?

Jules Eris

I'm so happy they're finally reacting to Gurren Lagann. It will always be one of my favourite shows ever.

Sahar

Kamina my boy ...... he’s in my top 10 characters of all time

Able

Man I’m ten episodes in and really struggling with this show.

AustinMyB

I get some people not liking the series that much. But man I've always thought this was the perfect anime for them. Manly hype, dope action, and a busty redhead.
