I want to know about why some people say KnY is carried by the animation

People likes to hate to populars animes. What is true is that DS has a more simple story, "simple doesn't mean bad".

Cause I think that the comedy is awful the characters are cookie cutter thin the story is just monster of the week shounen garbage and let's be honest here the reason it is as popular as it is is cause of episode 19 if it wasn't as well animated as it was this show wouldn't even be half as popular the manga score was like 7.80 before which isn't bad but should tell you what people thought without animation

won't argue this tho

It's useless to argue. He will never be convinced.

Thing is it's not that dark, emotional or has any kind of mind blowing twists. It's pretty generic but an example of proper production and execution. I enjoy the hype in each scenes, though nothing like AoT level hype buildup, but the animation gives it a lot of boost. In short great animation=great fights=hype=enjoyment
PS- Like it or not KnY is super overrated, no matter what anybody says, it's not an opinion it's a fact

They just ignore it's visuals, fights, development of story and characters, music and it's sad parts?

This is what happens when people doesn't understand something, they downvote it.

official_brown said:
They say that yet they give JJK a 10. Both are good animation but have barely story. But DS is pulling ahead because the story is more cohesive and longer

Jfs_ said:
Yes KnY is carried by the animation, because decent character and plot alone would not be enough to make it Broke the internet. and there's nothing wrong with that, lots of popular anime would not be as popular if it weren't for their animation.

Idk how to spoiler tag but obviously major spoilers. okay the first half of season 1 isn't too bad for it only, a bit of plot armour but not too bad. but like from there on out, there's just constantly 0 communication between characters, the hashira attack tanjiro or nezuko etc etc when all they had to do was talk, mugen rensha I feel like lower first could have just continusally put tanjiro into a dream identical to reality, instead of sending him to an obviously fake dream, though maybe there is a reason. in the fight with upper sixth rengoku could have survived he ran what, 10 seconds before being impaled, he didn't kill it anyway and the sun was coming up, guess he didn't know tanjiro had enough plot armour to run and throw his sword in anger. either way it's sitll just average to me at this point. this arc? Holy shit, tanjiro is literally getting stronger from nothing "I stand no chance" *becomes almost as powerful as a hashira*, yet still ranked 6/10? lol okay if the demons or hashira worked together at any point, which ever side did it first would instantly win, since the other never seems to, and there is no way all of the upper demons or all of the hashira vs one of the other would lose, so they could just absolutely wipe them out. it doesn't make sense tanjiro doesn't get killed by the top demon forgot his name, if he is super powerful, which he seems to be and is made out to be, why doesn't he kill tanjiro himself, why doesn't he send stronger demons for him? he clearly seems to have seen the ear rings before and could tell he'd be a sun breather in the future, and is the only person to have recently found him, it should be obvious to kill him while he's week, instead of just let plot armour save him. my biggest issue is with the gaining of abilities with little or no training. literally the only justifiable reason is "I'm the mc" like okay

People are just haters.
If it was bad, then how come it had ranked at the top spots of Shounen Jump popularity polls for months? And that was way before the anime came out. It had beaten MHA, One Piece,etc. to get the number one spot many times.
The anime pacing is a little bad but the manga is really good with fast pacing. The comedy scenes in the manga aren't annoying. The studio just exaggerated those scenes too much.

what is there to understand i read the whole manga it's simple as fuck it's good but overatted
Just cuz of ufotable treatment

"Haters" omegalul 💀💀

Ehh no
Before anime it had 5 mil (when it had 19-20 volumes)
After anime 130 mil in 2 years and top 20 spots in the manga rankings (22-23 volumes)
If you are gonna open your mouth, at least know what you are speaking like jeez

Whats up with ds fans being delusional that the brilliant anime adaptation had no role in its success ? Its good but without the anime it could have never been this huge

'kay, we can talk about it, but I'm not going to discuss every aspect, because it's boring to do every time.

Firstly, I haven't read the manga and it doesn't matter what is the end of the story. Bad ending doesn't ruin the good starting.
I'll talk about the S1 and will compare it to other S1 shows.

The easiest claim to refute is about the demons complexity. The statement is everyone is 2d, which is not true. The demons aren't bad because they are bad for no reason. You can understand the demons, their motivations and relate to them because you can see their human side, which is only possible because of Tanjiro.
We saw the basic demon slayers who just wanna kill the demons, climb ranks and get more money, which character type is actually more closer to generic shounen than Tanjiro. Tanjiro can see them as people, because of his sister.

For comparison, in JJK the curses are bad because they are curses. Their bad behavior has no true motivation and you can't relate to them.
Similar happens in SnK S1 the bad guys are mindless giants.

So, if you don't understand the demons and how Tanjiro's unique personality are interacting with each other, then yes, you will think it's a generic shounen.
But, tbh, based on only the first seasons, JJK and SnK are much more closer to generic shounen.
The generic shounen is usually about main character wanna win over the bad guys because of a personal meeting which include the friends and family gut hurt scenario.
Look at SnK, Eren wanted to be a hero at first, later he wanted to get revenge because they ate his mother.
That's pretty generic, but no one calls SnK S1 a generic show. Even though they did another generic shounen start in S4P1 and, btw, that's why it worked, because it's the same shounen start that we saw so many times, but the shounen protag in that case is Falco.

It is lolz.

If you give KnY the protection team from Orien (magi author new series from this season) , KnY will nvr be this popular .

All these asspull/dragging part/annoying comedy or so-called "sakuga moment" will suddenly be criticized heavily.
This series will become a 7~ average shonen .

I seriously don't get why some blind fanbase can't accept that anime studio can "carry" a series into mainstream.
I have many manga I love so much, I rated them 9 or even 10/10 , and then the anime version handed to shit studio and I dropped those anime series in a few episodes and rate them a 2~6. It is perfectly logical an anime studio can drag down or transcend a manga series.

Just accept the fact that KnY is one of those series that get carried by the anime studio.
The manga wasn't selling that well / ppl didn't notice this series/ ppl didn't treat it as a classic before UFO adopt it into an anime.
KNY is not one of those series which the manga is sooooo good / people hype up so much so it turns into a super big hit anime series.

lemme calmy say you that demon slayer is not bad at all its Mid super mid nothing too great it's just mid its pretty easy to understand and anticipate and repitive plot usage but my problem is people calling it the best anime in history despite only watching ds it annoying demon slayer is good but it's Fandom is really bad manga Fandom of demon slayer is pretty chill and good as almost everyone knows that this is generic and enjoyable but when compared to jjk and snk demon slayer is not good compared to them some people say jjk is not good as demon slayer but it's opposite jjk's season 1 was more purposely made it look like an generic show and then boom I of course won't spoil anything but it's just so good and the writing in the jjk is so good too almost having 0 plot holes and about snk. Snk is said to be not an generic show because living in the walls and being eaten by titans is a pretty nice /new idea which was well received amd the fact you said that demons in demon slayer have backstory and all I know about it and I love that aspect of demon slayer but demon salter is not the first manga with a demon backstory there are some good backstory example akaza and some bad example muzan
Muzan's backstory should have been sad which should have made it look like he isn't evil bit no he's a idiot instead example sukuna doesn't have a backstory till now but he's evil like muzan but no idiot which is why he's a far better villain and a character so I like snk and jjk more than demon slayer you can ask whatever you want from me

You clearly didn't understand a single word I said.
It's not about the whole story, because S1 is just part of the story. You can't rate a show based on what's going to happen. Like I said, yeah, JJK and KnY can be better or worse later on, but we are not talking about that.
And to clarify something, no one ever talked about KnY being the best and it's not the fan base. It's quite opposite. The people who couldn't understand create topics talking about how generic it is, which is not. You couldn't understand my comment and didn't even refute a single statement. What are you talking about? You clearly didn't understand the show.

And no, JJK didn't do that purposely. I did it because it works. That's why it used in SnK S4P1 when Falco was introduced as a shounen protag.

But tell me, how living inside the walls is new concept? The wall being the wall is new, but we already see this when small colonies locked inside something. Even TTGL is similar in that matter. Humanity's living underground, because they would be killed. It's nothing new.
You calling it new proves my point. You didn't understand the show or didn't watch enough show to know what generic means. SnK S1 and JJK S1 is closer the basic generic shounen than KnY S1.

Yes, it can change later on, then we can talk about those seasons.
