Demon Slayer just Set a New Standard 

Ufotable really said "fuck the budget, I'll do what I damn well please" and dropped probably one of the best anime seasons in years on our asses

When Nezuko jumped up to spike Ume's head like a fucking volleyball and proceded to give her a biblical beatdown, I damn near jumped out of my chair, and that was like 4 episodes before the finale. You really cannot overstate how incredible this show is at this point.

I’d say what’s making Demon Slayer so good is that it doesn’t have any ANNOYING *FILLERS*

Why do people forget about the effing orchestra of this anime - the music in this anime is one of the best I have ever heard. And this is coming from a music tech engineer. It’s so good in every detail.

The fact that Ufotable have added more scenes to the fights to really flesh them out and give them so much more weight than the manga genuinely makes it one of the few cases where the anime is better than the manga. Most of the final fight scene between Uzui and Gyutaro is unique to the anime and it elevates it to another level.

Demon slayer is really what I wish we could see in the future of how anime production is tackled. Taking your time and creating an amazing product is so much more worth it that producing actual mid like MOST anime are.

👏👏👏 What an amazing video about demon slayer! My favourite part of this video was from 9:35 to 11:03

I feel like not just in animation but in music too : the soundtracks to most of the fights are some of the best music I've ever heard in anime

I think you bring up a really good point with its simplicity. I was having a conversation with my friends and how one of the oddest thing about Demon Slayer was that there was no true internal falling out in the organization. There was no Danzo or Orochimaru, no Aizen, no corrupt world government, no secret assassination in the jujutsu organization, no spies pretending to be heroes. Shonen series love having these big organizations having huge internal strife in them and Demon Slayers are just like, nah, the Hashiras got each other's back.

Gyutaro is honestly my favorite Demon Slayer antagonist yet for how his relationship with Daki mirrors Tanjiro's relationship with Nezuko. He serves as an excellent foil and with his offer to turn Tanjiro into a demon even makes Tanjiro realize that he and Nezuko could've been the same had they gone down the wrong path. I also like just how unrepentant he is. Even saying that he knows even if he was reborn he would still be a demon. He wishes his sister had a better life but he knows that he isn't redeemable and never pretends otherwise.

the entertainment district arc was damn beautiful no matter what haters say! Demon Slayer deserves the hype for being this well animated and not skimping on any details.

The thing about Demon Slayer is that it's not only a beautifully animated series, it is also filled with simple, but meaninful messages. When I started watching season 1, I was in one of my lowest points. I almost died cause of kidney complications, a doctor raped me while I was in the hospital, then my ex boyfriend left me, and I also was having family issues. My life was in shambles and I was thinking of giving up and almost took my life. A little later in the way of recovering I discovered the series, and heard Giyu say: "Don't grovel like that and give your enemies the chance to kill you. All your doing is making yourself vulnerable... The weak don't get to make choices, all they can do is be relendlesly crashed by the strong... Don't cry, don't succumb to sorrow, this isn't a time of despair, I know it hurts, I understand. There's no way to turn back time. Feel the rage. The powerful, pure rage of not being able to forgive will become your unswerving drive to take action" it was almost as he was saying it to me, and I swear I felt a shift in my heart. Now I live by those words, and three months after of almost dying, I'm finishing my bachelors degree, going to therapy, went back to work, and going to the gym. This show was trully life-changing for me. I devoured the series, identified with Tajiros's heart, and fell in love with so many characters! PD. Honary mention to Rengoku's last words. And sorry for any spelling errors, english is not my first lenguaje :)

Season 2 of Demon Slayer reminds me why I like Shonen stories. Yes, the characters and story are simple, but sometimes you don't need depth to tell a good and entertaining story. Sometimes, I just want to watch our heroes struggle to overcome the impossible. I want to see them push themselves beyond their breaking point because they absolutely have to win. I want to see them earn their victories and celebrate.

My favourite part is that Ufotable's "One weird trick" is just having a Director of Photography to make sure all the scenes LOOK NICE AND GOOD. Obviously there's more to it but that's really the core

As someone who doesn't watch anime, Demon Slayer had me hooked

I wasn't 100% on board with this anime until like, episode 13ish when Inosuke joined. at that point, it became another level with the comedy and chemistry between the 3 young slayers. The art and combat was just BRILLIANT. And S2 was ALL GAS no BRAKES. I was for real hooked because there was no stop action for like 7 episodes in a row.

Shows like Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer are rarities, and honestly I wish a lot of our old favorite shows would get the same treatment with great animation and no filler

What I love about the action scenes in Demon Slayer is that even if things get real chaotic and every colors are showing up in your screen, you can still see what is happening in the action. The fight is choreographed really well that you don't need to watch it at 0.5 speed to follow the action. And of course the artstyle man...

Ain’t nobody gonna talk about the Audio cut out ?

As AOT and Demon Slayer were releasing new episodes on the same day, I went back and forth after each new episode between which show was my favorite bc they were both producing such absolute bangers

Exactly. That’s what everyone misses. You don’t need it to be “complicated” to be good. If anything, the “complexity” of a lot of animes are super convoluted and unrealistic (even within their universe). Demon Slayer is straightforward in a simple, beautiful way. The story and motives are great enough to make it a classic and all time great.

As Garnt said, you’re gonna get beaten tf up for stating your opinions about any show. Except if it’s about complimenting Demon Slayer’s music and animation.

i agree with gigguk...i don't understand why people are like "dEmOn SlAyEr is fOr nOrMiEs"or that it doesn't have a great story ....like i don't think that's the most important thing in art at all ....i think the most omportant thing is how it makes you FEEL after watching to it ...and story,music,animation,etc are all just tools to make us feel something ...but if a show can make me feel entertained without a story or depth then ..it's perfectly fine imo

Demon slayer sure is one of the best....A simple yet engaging story, god tier animation and fights, best music (one of) in Industry, and humor, emotions, etc are balanced....Afterall how many animes are there that make you cry even for the villians

"YOU MERELY ADOPTED THE MID, WE WERE BORN IN IT, MOLDED IN IT" is now my favorite quote from Gigguk

I agree Demon Slayer's strength is in its simplicity. There's no one shoving some philosophy down your throat or anyone with some clearly overcomplicated plan. You just have relatable, fun characters (Both heroes and villains), a pretty clear power system and a solid plot. I read the manga after season 1, loved it and yet, the anime surprises m over and over again, deepening that love

Before, when Mugen Train came out and I watched it, I thought Rengoku's demise was just for shock value, but the development and effect on Tanjiro in season 2 makes that initial shock value abuse worth it.

9:35 did anyone notice the sound just went *puff* here?

I'm happy that Ufotable has been getting the hype it deserves and I hope a lot of people also check out their previous work to see their improvement over the years.

I think that there's something beautiful to the simplicity of Demon Slayer's story. It's just sincere. There's no pretension or trying to act smarter than the audience, and there's a beautiful sense of compassion for every character. What you see is what you get in the best way. It takes a lot of humility, I think, to just tell a story like this without trying to over complicate it. Because it might not have sprawling intrigue or impenetrably deep themes, but it's the Shonen series I've most consistently been able to emotionally engage with. I think that there will always be value in a story that can engender empathy like this, to let you just be happy for, or sad for, or get angry on behalf of its characters. I think we'd lose a lot more if we forgot how to write stories like that than if we forgot how to write densely esoteric stories.

There's a reason why Ufotable get this amount of respect. Just look at the work they've done. I still remember well watching the Mugen Train movie with my friends, the chills I got during the final moments of the Rengoku v Akaza fight, the last dying speech of Rengoku and then his final smile of pure joy . Ufotable made Rengoku my most loved anime character with just a 2 hour long movie even after I've watched like 250+ animes. Ohh gosh, THANK YOU UFOTABLE FOR EVERYTHING ❣️ P.S. - I'm a big Fate fan too

I think what makes demon slayer work is that the story is, very easy to follow and digest with the seasons being broken up. It gives the viewers amount time to digest and anticipate.

While we know that most demons will be defeated by the slayers, the Mugen Train arc showed us that the Upper Six are not to be taken lightly. Just when you think one is defeated, it turns out he just punched thru a man sternum. The Hasihra, while powerful, struggle quite a bit to match the Uppers. Before the final slice, I wasn't even sure if they would claim a solid victory. Even after they beat them, there's no promise that the hashira would survive.

Watching demon slayer makes me feel at home. While i do like complex stories, ideas, and complex characters, I feel demon slayer has that element where you rest on your sofa after a long day work and just chill with your friends with a bowl of ramen noodles. You know the bad guys are going to go down. the story is amazing for me. every time i watch this anime I feel like tanjiro, nezuko, inoske, zenitsu are my friends and I am hanging out with them in the country side while killing some bad demons. it is a great feeling for me and i think this is where demon slayer's strength lies.

UHHHHHHHHH, WHy is no one talking about the fact that the sound just cuts out at 9:32 ????????????? For the entire rest of the video???????????????

"it's how well you can execute the simple stuff" I used to be one to say demonslayer is only that good because of the art, but that quote really does put things into perspective. they didn't need all the crazy storyline that other anime's have because they executed the simple stuff so well it's just purely enjoyable for anyone to watch.

As someone who finished the manga, I gotta say, Demon Slayer is one of the best simplistic stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading through. It definitely earns its uniqueness along the way with particular choices that I've never before seen in Shonen, and the characters do have a good level of depth to them (which is impressive consider how simple they generally are). Where I think it delivers the best tho is at giving a great complete story, a full journey, of not just the protagonist but of the world he submerged himself in. It keeps getting better story-wise from here, and you have epic battles yet to come. If UFOtable manage to get all the way to the end with this as an anime adaptation with THIS level of choreography on multi-layered fights with multiple people... holy fucking shit the future is BRIGHT, its SHINING, you think you got your eyes burnt yet? You have yet to stare at the sun itself.

I think the incredible accomplishment of this series so far isn't just that the animation is "over the top;" rather, their accomplishment is that they've actually embodied all of their passions and care in Demon Slayer. Like, I would love to be able to say something like, "Man, if only One Punch Man (or insert any other battle anime in here) were animated like this." The problem with that kind of statement is that Demon Slayer's style is so iconic and unique that the same visual effects wouldn't have the same impact in other stories. However, what CAN and SHOULD be replicated is the top-tier love and attention this studio has given to their work. We can't expect every studio to conform to this kind of style, but we should expect studios to care about how their decisions impact the reception a story or fight will get. Any anime can have a similar, jaw-dropping effect if it's animated with enough intentional awareness and attention to the finer details. Demon Slayer is the embodiment of an anime that the animation team really cares about.

Audio missing/muted after 9:35? 😯

Does anyone know why the video doesn't have any sound starting at 9:35?

S2's animation quality was so consistently top tier that at some points I forgot how good it was. It's almost too much to appreciate fully.

I think what makes Demon Slayer stand out is that its simplicity just feels right. There is no need to fully immerse yourself in anime mechanics like in Dragonball, One Piece, or Black Clover. Its a story of a young boy who wants to turn his sister back into a human and ends up joining an group of demon fighters.

I like Demon Slayer in that it isn't complicated. The plot is coherent. There are no fillers. It follows character growth. It has entertaining villains. Fanservice isn't overdone. Characters that die actually *stay* dead. It has a satisfying ending.

When I first started watching the show, I was not so sure about it. I remember thinking "this is nothing new, why is everyone talking about it". The more I watched, the more I enjoyed it and I couldn't find the reason why. Your video just explained why I loved that show so much despite its "simple" and "nothing new" vibe! Truly an excellent anime

The reason why Ufotable's work stands out is because they have a dedicated digital team that blends their 3d animations with their 2d animations. Their studio has a lack of walls, allowing each department to work closely together on creating visually appealing frames and to build a strong sense of rapport. Before anyone says it, no, they don't have unlimited budget, they get the same amount as any other studios. Ufotable focuses on quality, not quantity. Canipa Effect videos cover a bunch on Ufotable and the interview with Yuichi Terao, Chief of Ufotable's Digital Team on Anime News Network. Also yeah the CEO did pay back the tax evasion scandal. He did it to invest in his animation team and to keep his animation company afloat, while its bad it makes sense.

Honestly this anime adaptation is basically what anime was supposed to achieve in the end; breath actual life into the manga, Demon slayer has done it again

Like holy heck this season really gave me insight into what these characters feel during battle. i felt the stakes. I felt their emotions. I really feel like I understood how bleak their situation was. How devastating these fights can be. It wasn't just another shonoun fight that ends and that's that. Even when it ended, it really didn't. the characters still had more to do, and they never knew whether they really had won until daybreak. For one brief moment, when Tanjiro was crying and asking if they'd won, and Tengen was screaming at him to run, I felt my whole soul quiver. I'm not exaggerating when I say how much this season impacted me, and felt as though even if they are the main characters, and they have plot armor regardless, they feel real, the stakes feel real, and the consequences feel real. Ufotable you really are a genius.

You forgot to say that they use one of the best songs and sounds at fighting, dying or any. Its so dramatic you just cant take eyes off, like when Tanjirou was falling and Zenitsu wanted to grab him and episode done. People who needed wait till next ep prob asked WHYYYYYY STOP NOW

My favorite part in Demon Slayer Season 2 was the scene with Tengen and Gyutaro just screaming and slashing at each other towards the end. It just felt like, to them, nothing else mattered except the next slash. Their faces showed how absorbed they were into the fight, and how badly they wanted to win. It was something that simple, and that pure, that would make me look back on Season 2 fondly. That and the whole character dynamic with Uzui and Rengoku, and how Rengoku was essentially a Symbol of Peace like All Might.

I think Demon Slayer's simplicity is what made it explode in popularity. When every shounen anime headed into weirder (JoJo) and more complicated (JJK) plot elements, nobody else was trying a sure fire way to rile up every weeb. Katanas with elemental powers? Why is there not an anime of that yet? It's so obvious and ufotable animating it only made it more popular.

this anime lives in my heart forever

The Music from 9:35 - 11:04 Is so soothing to my ears

I read the whole manga before the show really got picked up and thought, "this was some next-level stuff, can't wait to see it animated" and they really outdid themselves in every area making this one of the best anime ever produced (and I thought that wouldn't happen tbh) I cant wait to see the Infinity Castle Arc with all the upper moons animated

To me, the reason Demon Slayer is so well received is because it is so incredibly sincere that it almost hurts. All the Demon Slayers are so damn convicted to their goal of destroying the demons and saving people that it's honestly so heart warming in our day in age where everyone always has an angle they are trying to exploit. The characters care to such a degree that people can't help root for them even while making jokes about the show being "cringe". Demon Slayer is a show that makes you stir in your seat because you can remember a time when you believed in something so deeply and purely as a child does, before we became calloused and disillusioned.

It's simple but so meaningful at the same time. It gives you more than pov (for demons and humans) but instead of forgiving and forgetting it delivers justice. Heartwarming and unique series that what Demon Slayer is.

RIP audio 9:35

This may be a small factor for its appreciation, but the characters are designed so well. Everybody is dripped tf out and looks so cool ESPECIALLY the upper moons.

I love how even though it is a clear cut good-guy / bad-guy dynamic, the bad guys are still presented as people, sure, twisted, evil, and broken people, but people never the less. The fact Tanjirou can see this, and accepts it, but he never lets it cloud his judgment, and even if he feels compassion for them, he wont forgive their crimes, THIS, just makes his character all the stronger and more realistic to me (Though to be fair, the guy has something wrong with his head, nobody is that extreme without being atleast a little broken inside, in the traumatic sense).

he not lyin i put my grandma on and now she waiting for season 3 💀

What makes Demon Slayer sooo great in my opinion is that the story is pretty straight forward and it’s not no complex complicated figure it out on your own anime. And I love that you added HxH in it to show pple how some of the things they do with HxH doesn’t really make sense

Those animators deserve all the respect they can get, they really busted their asses this season man and What’s even more impressive is how the characters aren’t simple at all, almost all the characters have somewhat detailed appearances and that my favorite character inosuke got the most character development. He was actually doing a lot of useful stuff and not just being wild and mixing up names

I read the Red Light District arc a few months after season one ended as I was extremely hyped up. I was satisfied with the story, however season 2's animation amplified the story to new levels and, thankfully, I forgot a few key moments and was left in a state of shock / awe. Grateful to be alive to witness such a fantastic piece of work be adapted so lovingly.

Episode 9 and 10 have got to be some of the best episodes of anime, ever.

Demon slayer is a story about true empathy and compassion. I love it.

Demon Slayer definitely stands out from any other anime I've watched. The bright colors, creative characters, and beautiful animation make it so enjoyable to watch.

The sheer cathartic release they gave the audience with that double beheading is not only a masterclass in animation, but directing and writing, too. The plot of the show might be simplistic, but the execution of that story is anything but.

Im gonna miss Tengen He's like my favorite character in the show as well as one of my favorite of all time

Don't let all the detail distract from the fact that Hisoka's nen ability "Bungee Gum" possesses both the properties of rubber and gum.

Something I'll never forget are coming back every Sunday for another Demon Slayer episode and watching it to come back on Twitter and talk about the sheer hype with everyone around me as if we all just watched a movie, if Ufotable somehow keeps this up then this series without a doubt will end up staying one of my favorites of all time and I wouldn't trade it for anything

To add to your point of some scenes just "taking your breath away", in my opinion the demon slayer's power system being all about breath is by all means a perfect choice ... if maybe only for the anime adaption. On several occasions when the hype is rising and the scenes get intense, that one "*sucks breath in before technique*" will draw in the audience to do the same, as if trying to prepare them for what is to come, drawing you into the scene even further. It is, in a way, managing to extend the reach of a scene beyond video and audio to an almost physical level, you somehow feel what the characters are feeling. And to me, your average weeb who can't help but whisper along with "Ito Shura" or "Bankai" when it happens, that is as perfect as it gets.

simple story+ worldclass animation +op bgm + mind blowing characters = DEMON SLAYER

I really guess Japanese Animaters really Deserve more attention and Fame cuz there work really is way way better then any entertainment forms like movie or webseries truly it goes beyond limits i love watching anime and it's amazing

I fell in love with...everything in the entertainment arc. Loved Gyutaro and Daki story. Loved Gyutaro especially like, good antagonist writing and the voice acting!

I started watching Demon Slayer many months back, but cancelled it 2 times before I finally got myself to continue a few more episodes. Everyone and their mom was hyping this show. It couldn't be that good, right? I was never so wrong before in my life. I remember the exact moment where this show became one, if not my all time favorite anime. It was when Zenitsu had his first fight in ep 12. I have watched that scene well over 20 times already, but I still get goosebumps every single time. I binged through the entire show within 2 days and I couldnt think of anything else for several days after finishing Season 2. The agony of having to wait 1 or 2 more years for the next season is undescribable.

I like the fact the video brought about how simple the story is that even a grandma could catch it up. I'm a nearly 40 yo woman hooked up with Demon Slayer franchise, as well as our colleague who are 40-55 yo's who are also hooked up due the same reason. Been an anime enjoyer since I was 7yo with Doraemon, Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon days; I have seen how much anime has been much more and more grown and appreciated universally. I also like the fact that Ufotable has done impressive flashy animation but still not far revolving around the manga's initial art style.

There's no sound between 9:35-11:05

The animation is arguably the best, and with a good yet simple story that easy to understand, the casual fans will really get into it, it's a great combo to be main stream.

I used to love anime and then stopped watching because nothing really caught my eye. Until Demon Slayer came along. It absolutely captured me from episode one. It's so well balanced. You feel for every character, the story is amazing, and what caught me most: There's actually something at stake. Hashira aren't invincible, the threat is real, and the main characters HAVE to improve and get stronger. It's makes you laugh, it makes you cry, and it makes your jaw drop with how beautifully it's animated. It deserves all the hype and praise it's getting. Ufotable outdid themselves and dragged me right back into enjoying anime again.

Why is the audio cut off from 9:35 to 11:04 lol I thought my headset is broken.

I think what I love the most about season 2 is the fact that killing off Rengoku in the movie added to the suspense. Watching the Mugen Train, seeing Tanjiro behead Enmu, and then watching this close, epic battle, between Rengoku and Akaza, you're thinking, "wow, this is so cool!! but Rengoku is gonna win, he has to, he's the hero, and the Demon Slayers haven't lost yet" and then he frigging 🍩and you're just sitting there in complete shock, like, what? wtf? no, that wasn't supposed to happen!! So when you're watching season 2, and the big epic fight scenes, you don't know what direction its gonna go in. You can't trust the plot armor, because it's been stripped away, which made it just SO much more climatic and suspenseful, and also make you feel so relived that Uzui survives. Thats just my opinion though :p (**Also, if you're gonna reply/add on, please don't reply with any manga spoilers, I have not read it yet**) Also, also, on an unrelated note, which anime is this from? 0:40

There's nothing wrong with disliking a show because its not for everyone, nothing ever is but there is no one more annoying or insufferable than someone who constantly talks about how they dislike something popular. They think they need to open everyone else's minds shoving their opinion down the throats of the people who do like it and convince everyone they're right. Demon slayer is an amazing example of this because it has reached a level of popularity that no other anime ever has and the words of people who dislike it fall on deaf ears.

One thing I really appreciate about Demon Slayer is how it makes every big fight genuinely feel like a desperate struggle for the heroes. The upper rank demons are way stronger individually, and the only chance the humans have is through teamwork and pushing themselves to the absolute limit. Plus there's almost always a major sacrifice made by someone to win, whether it's their life or just being horribly injured/maimed.

the audio cuts out at 9:34, just letting you know!

i was watching season two in my living room and im not kidding, my ENTIRE family walked in and started watching it with me, including my mom, who doesn't enjoy anime. my UNCLE, who probably has no interest in watching tv or doing anything with technology watched the entire show (season one-season two) because he liked it so much. you are correct, season two of demon slayer slaps extremely hard.

I’ve always said that nothing can really be “overrated” Everything comes down to personal taste and if a large group of people just really really enjoy something that doesn’t make a show overrated because you don’t find it as good. And I never knew why people would put other people down for liking something they just didn’t mesh with. It’s all well and good to not like something popular just because you dont find it interesting, but there’s really no need to bash on it for being popular when you don’t like it.

Watching Demon Slayer feels like watching a sporting event, especially when the slayers are fighting an upper moon demon. You get excited when the team is up, antsy when they're down, and then cheer when you know that a head is about to to roll. It's a good time.

Why is a huge chunk of audio missing close to the end of the video?

9:55 Best part in Gigguk videos is always the way he ends them, with pure HYPE. His videos are a Masterclass Also Ufotable are the GOAT studio

Exactly. DS doesn´t do anything special, but everything it does do is executed perfectly. And the animation helps a lot of course. I can´t wait to see what the final arc will look like

For me I felt like season 1 was extremely overhyped because of episode 19. Mugen train got me more invested in the show and the Entertainment district arc finally had me obsessed with the show. I really despised the main 3 in the first arc because of the shouting especially when they all did it together which very much improved in s2 😅 but the show has really grown on me to the point I probably overhype it now haha with how much I love it. (PS overhyped doesn’t mean hate I’m just referring to how a lot of the time people reference ep 19 in everything about s1, I’ve really enjoyed Demon Slayer overall especially after this last arc)

Why is some parts without any sound ?... Is it only me?

demon slayer is an absolute masterpiece,no one can deny it.

Uzui Tengen lives rent free in my head. His fighting style is gold and the high level of the anime's graphics complements it. I just wish we saw more sound breathing forms.

As someone who (as with 99% of other people here probably) started out with Anime when I was a wee lil' lad with Shounen like Naruto, I must say that Demon Slayer also feels fresh. It doesn't feel like this grand meandering journey through this insanely large world, but like a carefully curated show that moves from set-piece to set-piece. The thing that is definitely going to come around to bite my ass when the next season drops, is that I don't really remember the show for its story - it's the HYPE moments that really sell the show to me, which makes it really hard to remember what drew me in, when looking back a few years later. Hell, for this season I took so long to even REALISE that it was up, that I could binge every episode except for the last 2, and it was just absolutely marvelous. Shout-out to the author for not turning Nezuko into some weird gimmick mascot like Sakura was in Naruto, but actually have her have a ridiculous fighting moment. From what I understand, currently Nezuko is hands down the strongest member of the main squad and I loved when she got to show off how strong she actually is. Hope she doesn't go back to getting the Sakura treatment in the future.

ah shit did this have a chunk of audio removed by yt? I dont remember a long silent section

Wait until the Infinity Castle arc gets animated. That is going to blow everything else out of the water.

I will say too, the minor tweaks to showcase the anime is well designed. In the manga, Tengen jumps in front of Tanjiro and it's pretty much just a shove and a "Tanjiro, jump and kill him." But in the anime, Tengen has a MOMENT to showcase his skills and give the animators room to show their skills. When I was waiting for this fight from the manga I was hopeful. My expectations were rolled up into a ball and shot out of a cannon, into outer space. P.S - Can we get my boys over in Tokyo Revengers some insane animations pls pls pls

One of my favorite moments (spoilers) Is when Uzui went full sound ninja mode and counted the beats to Gyutaros attacks. That entire scene was so damn good.

6:56 SHE TURNED INTO A TEA POT LOL

1. Artstyle and music is amazing. 2. Characters have to workd for their powers and you see both the effort and the danger of overdoing it. 3. ADULTS are there to support AND protect main young heroes, keeping power-scaling logical. 4. Villains are powerful and chillingly vile + they have good backstories, but those never are used to excuse their villainy. 5. Characters die and it means something AND we see it affect chracters. 6. The scale is small enough that we don't go trough 50 random NPCS to kill time and get to know most characters at least a little. 7. Scale is big enough still to make a high-stakes conflicts that need solving right now, never letting characters just rest and take time to prepare. 8. It evolves organically - there is established stalemate situation and our MC changes it, which makes conflict go from a static tug-of-war into final showdown. This way it doesn't look like world was just twiddling their thumbs waiting for MC to be born. 9. Whatever power-evolutions happen they either are worked for (all the various trainigs) OR happen organically, but surprisingly (Tanjiro's new breath, Nezuko's demon powers). 10. Whatever new powers DO HAPPEN, very few are 'special only MC has acces' - they teach others about the mark for example. Nazuko's powers are the only special onse, but then her entire purpose in narrative is to be an exemption of the norm, the weird singularity. Honestly, this story just took very basic pieces of a shonen story, did them WELL and didn't try to over-do it with overly complicated story. It's if One Piece was done in much smaller scare and I'm not surprised that it blew up as it it. How could it now - after Bleach being butchered to end faster, Naruto shitting the bed at the ending and Boruto being a soul-less copy of it, MHA making villains better heros than actual main characters and then going full bootlick mode? There haven't been a good succesor to shonen before DS. Closes one is JJK, but it has some issue that DS managed to avoid liike sidelining female characters. It's just a basic story constructed from perfected elements.
