Synopsis

For centuries, the Demon Slayer Corps has sacredly kept the location of Swordsmith Village a secret. As the village of the greatest forgers, it provides Demon Slayers with the finest weapons, which allow them to fight night-crawling fiends and ensure the safety of humans. After his sword was chipped and deemed useless, Tanjirou Kamado, along with his precious little sister Nezuko, is escorted to the village to receive a new one.

Meanwhile, the death of an Upper Rank Demon disturbs the idle order in the demon world. As Tanjirou becomes acquainted with Mist Hashira Muichirou Tokitou and Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji, ferocious powers creep from the shadows and threaten to shatter the Demon Slayers' greatest line of defense.

+ Animation is good.
+ Pretty colors.

- Horrifying and weird special effect in the first episode, during Hazaka's entrance. What the hell was that lol...
- Poor and way too long introduction of upper moons. They are all thrown at your face, talking, torturing each other, then talking, etc...
- Obnoxious stupid pink girl showing her breast.
- Tanjirou got almost beaten to death, but he recovered immediately... No body or mind damages..
- Obnoxious and noisy child lecturing Tanjirou about how to fight (ear rape)...
- Tanjiro is still the puuuurfect MC, always defending people, so noble, so pure... bleh...
- Tanjiro never STFU during his training, ruining nice visual. I ...

Preliminary (3/? eps)

Spoiler

Here we are again with another season of this show. After the first 3 initial episodes; I must say it has been quite disappointing.

Despite the world-class production skills of Ufotable giving us objectively some of the most audacious piece of art and animation in the Shonen medium, it sadly does not make me ignore the absolute lacklustre characterisation and development of the main characters.

Firstly, we are introduced to the rest of the Upper Moons, each obtaining a unique personality with one another. They look demonic but… that’s really it. Hopefully they don’t go through the same phase as every other demon has in the past ...

Preliminary (3/? eps)

Kimetsu no Yaiba is back with a bang with the Swordsmith Village arc. If the early episodes are anything to go by, chances are this is going to surpass even the Red Light District arc, and itself, yet again. Therefore, it is hardly a merry surprise that this is the most anticipated Anime of the year.

Plot: As the name suggests, the story will span the Swordsmith Village arc of the Manga. A misty village shrouded deep in the bosom of Taisho Japan, famous for crafting nichirin swords that the Demon Slayers use. The events pick up straight from the fateful battle of final part of ... the Red Light District arc, and then proceeds there. Whatever happens following that is the plot of this season.

Characters: Apart from the protagonists, a couple of Hashiras will be appearing this time around, Mist Hashira Muichirou and Love Hashira Mitsuri. We also get acquainted with many of the fabled Swordsmiths from the village who craft these mighty swords, along with their Village Chief.

However, the most important and anticipated reveal will surely be of the upper moons. Apart from Akaza, Douma and Gyuutarou/Daki, the rest were in the dark till now. However all of them disclose themselves inside a few minutes from the beginning.

Animation: The very first episode stands testament to exactly what Ufotable is capable of. Remember the Biwa Scene from Season 1, that infinite castle scene which twisting and turning so mesmerized us. Now imagine if it was extrapolated to it's absolute limit and more. Something to that tune is casually dropped within first two minutes of this new season.

If the opening theme is anything to go by, then by the time this season concludes Ufotable would've set a new standard, outdoing themselves yet again.

The visuals are really crisp. The motion feels very smooth. The backgrounds look gorgeous, dark and sinister at times, and fantastic at other.(Just don't go voting for it to be best fantasy again ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙)

The scenes look very cinematic with lots of dramatic and unusual perspectives for a Shounen. The above mentioned sequence almost seemed like artstyle horror movies and ultra futuristic mecha sequences seamlessly juxtaposed with each other. The speciality of Ufotable, the effects are also on full display. Now the wait is simply for the action sequences, and it's execution.

Music: The score by Yuki Kajiura retains the standard set by it. As more new episodes appear, it'll be rather interesting to observe how the original music for this season shapes up.

As for the Opening theme by Man With a Mission and Milet, though I was personally a touch sceptical about it from the trailer, the real version has considerably won me over. It turned out to be as worthy as you'd expect from a Kimetsu no Yaiba opening.

Now is it as good as Gurenge? Well, NO. Even Lisa couldn't top that with either "Akeboshi" or "Homura", nor could Aimer. Asking that will be something akin to asking to do one better than Yui's "Again" from FMAB, or Lisa's own "Crossing Fields" from SAO, or Yoko Takahashi's "A Cruel Angel's Thesis' From Eva, or the OG Pokemon Opening.

The opening is excellent in it's own right and deserves all the plaudits it gets. The ending theme is also very cool, especially the little nod to both "Homura" and "Akeboshi" in the middle felt really good. A welcome edition to the Anime.

Voice Acting: All the returning actors are as great as ever, while the upper moons sound as amazing as they should with the new cast. Nothing less than the standard set by Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Enjoyment: Even if I were to tell you otherwise, chances are you're already enjoying the living daylights out of Kimetsu no Yaiba. Even those extremely smart personalities who will purposefully compose hate reviews, and open hate forums about how this and that was not to their liking, and how silly and stupid everything is about Kimetsu no Yaiba, are still religiously watching the Anime, and enjoying it. So much so that despite saying how much they hate it, and how utterly bad everything is, they have not only kept up with every season, they are still watching every single second of every single minute as if their life depended on it.
