I meant to go into this more in the video, but the whole bit about "how to not make a character boring" can be resolved in a few different ways. The easiest way to do it is to just give them an internal conflict with a reason behind it.

Underrated and helpful video. 👍

Thanks! There are definitely things I'd go back and rewrite with this one, but I'm so glad it helped!

What exactly should Tanjiro have done before the start of the story? Did you expect him to be a Slayer already? How did it seem like he hadn't done anything?

Mostly just that he didn't seem to have any real internal conflict or thing he was striving towards, which is what the inciting incident usually challenges to allow the character to overcome the initial flaw holding them back. The first episode still had the "overcoming the flaw" part, but it, to my knowledge, didn't really explore what that flaw was before getting to that scene. I'm definitely not saying that Demon Slayer is a bad anime, the first episode just didn't have as characterizing of an introduction and development as it could have, in my opinion.
