2 shit seasons in a row then the good content is in theater jail x3 instead of simulcast. Reminder you STILL can't watch SpyxFamily movie on anything better than a Brazilian camrip yet, and that came out last December. Now take Infinity Castle and multiply that by 3. Not only do you have to wait for each movie to come out, you need to wait another 6 to 9 months+ on top of that to see it on your PC. Theater shit is fucking retarded and outdated.

You're just saying that because the author came out as a non-binary
>>
>>268863812
I never understood the hype for this series, the animation is majestic but the story is generic as fuck, some characters are dowright unlikable.
>>

Still don't know why the japs larped this up so hard.

>>268863952
>the author came out as a non-binary
I didn't know that. Now I'd say it's a 1/10.
>>
>>268863879
Theatrical release is extremely retarded for the middle of an on-going series. It's not so bad if it is a final conclusion to long running series.
>>268863954
I feel that a lot of the popularity just comes from being a fantasy story played straight-up in a sea of reincarnation, MMORPG isekai and highschool school romcom harems. I think having a real conclusion and not dragging on for 10+ years also helped it. If you don't consider all that context, then yes it's pretty mediocre.
>>
>>268863812
Kill yourself KikeSawFag
>>
>>268864032
It's not the final conclusion though, there's still Sunlight Countdown. And three movies is different from one, so is the wait. A year at best to each movie, but that's just theaters. So in practical terms 1 and a half to 2 years EACH movie for a format (VOD) people actually care about. That's ridiculous.

>What's wrong with Swordsmith Village?
IMO awful villains with the weakest stories and least charisma out of the Moons, with the possible exception of Zenitsu's rival. Mist is way better in other arcs than this, his introductory one where he's an annoying prick. But Love is fine. Rough pacing in general, no big emotional moments except Nezuko's right at the tail end.

Japan likes KnY because it pushes family values on a dying nation completely devoid of them and its ever-declining birth rate which triggered something primal in them. The setting also resembles the Meiji era, back when Japan was an economic superpower and not some impoverished shithole it is today.
>>
>>268864399
The opinion of someone who doesn't understand Nezuko's character can and should be ignored.

I'm on episode 5 of the 5th season and this just fucking sucks ass. It feels like I'm watching moe rather than a battle shounen.

Heh. Good joke. The final arc in KnY was mediocre shit
>>
>>268864683
I'm aware the series is set in the Taisho era, but that period was mostly just a continuation of the Meiji era.
>>
>>268863812
no other plot movers to focus on, we don't need to see every training arc the MC goes through. a training arc can be a good opportunity to focus on another character who progresses the plot from a different angle.
>>
>>268864761
is the training arc that bad? seemed alright in the manga.
>>
>>268863812
Too much filler
Ugly characters
>>
>>268864972
Im still on episode 5 but nothing that significant happened. Just feels like a bastard kid between shounen and moe. No learning rasengan or bankai
>>
>>268864972
I think the problem is that its the 3rd or 4th training arc in the story and Demon Slayer is a relatively short story compared to others
>>
>>268863812
those last 2 seasons were just that bad. I regret watching that pointless crap.
>>
>>268865064
nothing of substance even starts happening until the last 2 epsiodes
>>
>>268865374
Yeah. The show doesn't take itself seriously. I was expecting more tension in that conflict between the two brothers but it was just a nothingburger.
>>
>>268863812
It was never good, not even the animation
>>
>>268863812
If they knew they were doing movies why not release the show closer to the movie date???

Yes.
Its really bad.
All those people on twitter are seething because someone had the nerve to call a shit arc a shit arc.
The series is basically over and they're wasting time on something that has nothing to do with the end.
>>
>>268864972
Even if it was necessary to adapt it, it wasn't mecessary to stretch ot put over 8 episodes. They overmilked hard. There's a reason people only talk about 2 episodes out of the 8.

Garbage adaptation.
>>

It was 6-7 chapters in the manga
They stretched and filler padded it to 8 episodes.

One episode was literally only 3 pages in the manga.
>>
The part I find funniest about the training arc is it was literally pointless.

All the characters who need to asspull powerups do it mid fight against the upper moons anyway.

My man, S3 aired two months after the movie, S4 did after three. You can see they're not wasting an entire year anymore like they did with Mugen Train. Who cares what SxF is doing, they're nowhere near as big as KnY
>>
>>268868083
>>268868581
Those are compilation movies to new seasons. Glorified previews. That's not at all like full, separate movies. Tell me you can see that.
>>
>>268868581
>You can see they're not wasting an entire year anymore like they did with Mugen Train.
Mugen Train was the ONLY actual movie of any of those! In fact, it's the only parallel to what's happening with Infinity Castle. Bro...
>>
>>268868776
>>268868838
They can only stagger the TV anime (therefore also the streams) season for so long before stations and partners like Crunchyroll get upset they aren't getting their super popular series for their audience.
>>
>>268869017
Well, they clearly didn't mind waiting for an entire year in the past, so I'm sure Aniplex can make them wait a bit more this time, all so they can squeeze out that box office profit.
>>
>>268869017
You're not seeing my point. Mugen Train is the only applicable precedent to these three movies. Do you seriously not see the difference between Mugen Train and Infinity Castle trilogy, and the glorified preview moneygrab compilation "films"?
>>
>>268863812
Training arcs are garbage enjoyed only by melaninated individuals who think that the gym is a personality
>>
>>268869469
The vast majority of profit a movie makes these days is within 60 days of release. If they wait any longer than that, they're missing out on money from other sources.
>>268869743
Just because it's a precedent doesn't mean things will go the same way, it's just bad for business.
>>
>>268869899
Show me an anime movie, actual movie, that has released that quickly. Don't discount the example of SpyxFamily's movie. It's more applicable than any of the preview compilations.

Shamone's overdramatic bollywood-tier jumpcut and zoom-in filled walk up the mansion was just embarrassing
and they were so proud of it, they showed it twice
>>
the last two seasons haven't even attempted to lay the groundwork for any emotional payoffs. mitsuri was completely mishandled and barely had any relevant screentime (and no character development) in her own arc and hashira training only commits to the most surface-level character development. every scene with a tanjiro and a hashira exists to make the viewer gape his mouth and point at the screen in excitement simply because they exist; nothing is fucking happening.
>>
>>268874059
The only redeemable part of Mitsuri's character is her forced romance with Obanai, unironically. If it wasn't for the sailing ship to garner some last moment sympathy these characters would easily be among the worst-written, worst-received of the main cast.

i liked her character design and her fighting and all but she took all the threat out of facing an upper moon. Same thing with amnesia boy but that may just be the shit villains.
For whatever reason DS tries too hard to balance out it's dark themes so having the "sugoi" titty hashira mixed with all the chibi elements clashes with the setting too much. It's been doing this for a while and it's starting to get grating.
I pretty much agree with everything else.

making us sit through hours of filler content just to end on a cliffhanger as soon as the first fight of the entire season begins is fucking insane. nobody will be talking about this slop 3 months after it ends.
>>
>>268888998
>i liked her character design and her fighting and all but she took all the threat out of facing an upper moon.
I liked when she was mindbroken by the sonic attack. Those two moons did kind of fuck up the high tier demon reputation though, especially after a lower ranking one like Gyutaro showed what a beast he is.

The anime just had a really good first season. The manga sales were decent but nothing huge. It's a pretty straightfoward battle shounen that doesn't overstay its welcome. If it didn't get as good an anime that it did, it wouldn't have blown up.

God you histrionic tribalist faggots are unbearable. It had a bad season, most people apart from the fanboys agree on that. So that makes the whole show 3/10? Or it's 'lost it's heckin' relevance!!!'. Gay.
