When people say the storyline is basic they are essentially saying it is fairly straightforward and has a lot of cliches. There are also a lot of "isn't that convenient" writing. You aren't going to be stuck pondering things and get big plot twists that shock you. There is nothing wrong with basic straight forward stories, especially if you enjoy all the elements put into the story. A likable cast of characters and the world/setting can really carry a basic story. Not to mention in terms of anime you also have amazing visuals and music to enhance it.

11:54 These "cuts" that we have in some animes are when they go to commercial breaks on Japanese TV. Remember those explanatory texts in the Attack on Titan episodes? So, it's the same thing... Before the break, one text appeared, and after the break, another. All anime have these "cuts" in the middle, but most don't include images or text to separate them.

i think people who criticize demon slayer for being basic are missing the point to why is it fun to watch. It is not a mystery show, it is not a riddle. And you don't have to think about it too much to understand what it is about. But why would it be a bad thing? Very good animation, well choreographed combat and pretty good music is just an icing on a cake. Story is straight forward but characters are very well developed and it balance itself very well between being scary, funny and engaging. And when it gets heavy it is only heavy enough to make the point and push story forward (or to make you cry a little). i can't wait for probably next year for the last arch of the story.

"I could do that" -- you're really underestimating mountain climbing. Just because you're not scaling up a sheer cliff face doesn't mean it's not difficult and dangerous. It's all up hill and can still be quite steep, it can be cold, the weather can change quickly, there can be predators like bears, the air gets thinner so breathing is more difficult. Never underestimate mountains, or nature in general; that's how accidents happen and people die or need emergency rescue. In 2022 there were over 3,500 mountain accident victims in Japan.

Im from austria 39% of our pop does mountain climbing / hiking up mountains. Its dangerous but even grannys and kids do it. Everybody can do it Please dont act like its jumping from a plane or something. The biggest enemy in mountain climbing and hiking is the stamina and the second one is the power to maintain for multiple hours without breaking down every 30 min.

The plot of the story is so simple, but the execution of it is why people love it so much.

People confuse plot with story. The plot of DS is quite simple and straightforward. The story, and in particular the characterization, is anything but that.

Demon slayer season 1 is from 2019. All demons have different abilities one of hers is to change her size between child and adult and didn't know you had snake. He can tell the difference between humans and demons and all individuals have an unique scent. The thing in her mouth is a bamboo muzzle that Giyu put there to prevent her from biting people. Most of your other questions get answered in a few episodes so I'll let you figure it out. 11:53 it's for an ad break and she grabs him right after so not really a spoiler. 27:24 You can call him Giyu, Tomioka is his last name Giyu Tomioka (in Japanese they say last names first also Tomioka Giyu). (Edit:) There's no spoilers in the ending other than showing the other main characters, there is one scene from episode 19 there but it's without context it won't mean anything until you see that episode.

A little cultural information, 'goblin mask' is a pretty harsh localization for the sake of giving us something familiar. The mask is a representation of tengu, basically a divine bird person of the mountains. While they are often considered dangerous, I would say the level of respect they earn is somewhere in the middle of a priest and an angel. There's a number of masks in Japanese culture representing various creatures that have grown popular, and Tengu masks are one of the most iconic, well recognized for the nose they depict.

For sure! A simple plot is a strength. Any new author trying to get published and who knows what they’re doing will tell you that a story you want to be marketable should be able to summed up in one or two sentences. By keeping their plot simple, a writer can add new depth to traditional tropes, increasing interest by providing something familiar and fresh at the same time. The mangaka of Demon Slayer would have been ill-advised to make something overly complex for their first big series. Complicated, twisting stories definitely have their place and can be incredible, but they can be risky.

I guess it just comes downs if you either like simple or complex story, but 2 are great in their own way

Urokodaki wasn't running with his arms behind him. He had his arms tucked in his shirt for warmth, and the sleeves loose. I believe that's a real style of wearing clothes, or at least used to be. But the origin of the running with hands behind oneself comes from how ninja would sprint from one hiding spot to the next while trying to make as little noise as possible from friction of the old timey cloths or any armor they may be wearing. It is not meant for long distance running. The anime Naruto, used that stile of running a lot because the show features ninjas, and it saved on animation budget, and kind of became iconic as the anime run.

This mask is translated as a “goblin mask,” but it is actually a mask of a “tengu". Tengu are legendary creatures that appear in Japanese folklore, and are also known as gods or yokai(Japanese folk monster).

The bamboo is a muzzle to help Nezuko keep from eating people. She's using pure will power to Not eat people. The muzzle, as something between her mouth and what she wants to eat, helps give her time to overpower her hunger.

That’s just bamboo in Nezuko’s mouth. Also, I don’t see OPs as spoilers, I think of them more as teasers.

Well the story is simple but it also has a lot of depth. Like A LOT of depth. This story was written by combining or using multiple japanese folklores or different tales. I have Japanese friends who to this date r learning more and more about this story. And ppl who complain the story is simple r actually the fans of other battle shonens. They crave for cool and badass characters. But demon slayer has a very emotional, family oriented theme. I just want to recommend you to not get affected by anime's audience tastes or opinions coz most of them r literally kids

Tantito has been supporting his family since his father died... He has been going up and down the mountain cutting down trees making charcoal, carrying it up and down the mountain bringing the groceries to keep his family alive... With the commitment he has to save nezuko... It does make sense that he is quite sturdy and is in really good shape...

I want you to complete a 10 mile run within an hour with someone on your back and then say "I JUST went on a run"

I honestly believe a lot of the people who hate on demon slayer only do it because of how popular it is. The show is beautifully animated and the animation only gets better, which is probably why the haters are so weird about their grievances.

The way of running seems to refer to the actual way ninja ran in the past. Ninja were more like secret messengers back in the days not like the assasins the movies try to show us. They ran with their arms tight to their body with almost now motion to avoid losing to much stamina and energy on long distance travels. Thats why I believe the old man is running like this.

Demon Slayer is absolutely not an old anime; it just happened to be an online sensation when you first got into anime. In fact, it’s still ongoing, with a new season coming out currently. And yeah, it’s one of those anime like Re:Zero where they just went all in on the animation budget

Really enjoying it! This is gonna be fun!!

I'm sure you are going to love Demon Slayer. If you thought the Temple Demon fight was good just wait until you're more further in the show. If I would list up all the top fights, this fight wouldn't even be in there. Like you said the animation is absolutely stunning which makes sense because it's done by Ufotable, the same studio that also animated the Fate Series. When people talk about how basic the story is, they mean that it's like the main character becomes a demon slayer, gets stronger and fights stronger and stronger demons until the story is finished. It's the main story line but obviously it's not just that. The only thing you won't get are some deep plot twists and insane turning points but there are many very dark moments. Besides the animation also the character development, music, world building, action and also some comedy elements are awesome. The basic story is very well done and it proves that it doesn't have to be complicated to be a good show because in my opinion Demon Slayer is a 10/10.

The story is not basic. It's them whos mind is basic. Maybe they just can't comprehend what is a good, simple and complex story line. Just ignore the comments and be the judge. You won't regret watching this masterpiece.

Tengu are Japanese Yokai (Japanese monsters with a touch of spiritual/magical powers). They are depicted in two ways, a monster with a red face and long nose or a crow... In both cases they usually have black wings... This dude is wearing one of those typical Japanese masks depicting a tengu... They are not necessarily known for their great smell but it wouldn't be surprising they chose it because of the nose to use with urokodai...

Demons eat humans, used to be humans, can't touch sunlight, and there's a group that hunts them are the Demon Slayer Corps, and the MCs family die in the first episode, with only the sister (figure) still alive. I remember hearing all of this (and other things later) and being reminded of Attack on Titan

That "spoiler" moment was just character bookends used at the start/finish of its commercial break.

Nicely said. The only thing that really irks me though is people referring to the story as "simple." There is virtually no such thing as a "simple" story, besides like literal children books with 3 words per page. Anything, even Middle Grade+, should not be called "simple". And that's mainly because literature as an artform is interpretive. You can peel back the layers of any story and find ample amounts of depth. I think the main issue is that people fallaciously equate the words "plot" and "story" to mean the same thing. Simple Plot ≠ Simple Story. Plot is literally just the "what happens" within a story. Story is the holistic word for EVERY aspect of a piece of literature. Kimetsu is absolutely filled with complexity and depth in its characters, themes, symbolism, philosophy, etc. I would agree that the plot is fairly simple (though I find literally every plot out of every story to be "simple," as simplicity is ingrained within the very nature of what plot is), but to say the story is simple is something I could never get behind.

Yes, Nezuko is now permanently a demon 24/7 and is now deadly to sunlight. she a cutie thou

I mean, yeah is the hero story, but is really well written (mostly), and the characters are charming, they're so charismatic is hard not to love them, also the animations is in another level, it literally make the industry rise (in the good and bad ways), believe me when I say, it only gets better

冨岡 義勇 = Tomioka Giyu, And Tomioka is a surname, Giyu is the given name. Same as 竈門 炭治郎 = Kamado Tanjiro, Kamado is his surname, and Tanjiro is the given name. Just as a note, In Japan, Surname written in the front and real name in the back. Meanwhile, In the english translation The placement of the Japanese names get adapted to the placement of names in the west.

the voice actress for Nezuko in an interview said that the fights are done by filming real martial artists the rotoscoping them

There is a multitude of different ways to finish someone off

The running thing with the arms which is usually called Naruto running was actually tested and found to be more advantageous than normal running and actually resulting in better performance.

You can't have Ufotable as a producer on an anime and believe that you won't have amazing animation and amazing fights. because they are synonyms of Ufotable😂😂

Always love your reactions! I'm so excited to see you react to all of it, it's really really good an also, the bamboo muzzle serves only to cover Nezuko's mouth. Imagine that she is standing behind Tanjiro and some demon cuts Tanjiro, the blood could fall into Nezuko's mouth and that would make her lose the humanity that is struggling to overcome her new demonic nature. Another thing! Those images that appear in the middle of some scenes (like the one that appeared when Tanjiro was about to fall into the ravine with the demon), are colored panels from the Demon Slayer manga, do not include spoilers in general (and did not really show Nezuko taking him , just being close to grabbing it)

The running with hands behind their back thing is essentially just because it's easier to animate, or that's how it started at least, at this point it's also just because it's become something that people find 'cool,' just because over the years so many cool characters have done it.

Being basic does not mean bad... But it does mean that it won't be deep enough to keep you intrigued by it (story) from start to finish... But it is good enough to support the amazing animation, action and feelings the show brings forth...

Demon Slayer is just the same situation as Sword Art Online but newer. Its an anime that got super popular even with a lot of non anime fans, and since the story isnt the absolute most in depth crazy thing ever to exist, idiots just decide to hate on the show cause its popular. Theres genuinely no other reason, its always these same for these annoying people, they never change. They cant accept people simply enjoy something that isnt their favourite show ever.

i like that in the last video i didnt even say the manga was amazing. just that it was pretty okay, and still got people riled up

u are right about every question its not a simple story and the smell giyu sent tanjiro to urokodaki because urodaki can also smell emotions traps and everything like tanjiro

The thing with people saying that stories are basic is that they have no fucking clue what they are even yapping about. A story can be basic and still be enjoyable. I'd bet that any of these people saying that have a favorite show that is just as simple. Simple/Basic is not bad. Bad is bad. On the contrary most shows that claim to be so highly complex and great are usually the ones that fall flat. I'm no big Demon Slayer defender, that argument goes out in general to all these people making this "Simple and Basic" claims all the time like it matters in any way shape or form. If you are one of these people, your favorite show probably sucks ass.

There are several peaks for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, but first watch episode 19, which is the first peak, and then decide whether you like it or not. One of the things I like about Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is that the main character doesn't suddenly become stronger. Even if it looks like you've pulled off a great move in the animation, it's only a slightly stronger attack that you used with the intent to die. The author of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba reportedly told an editor who told him to reduce his training sessions, saying, ``I don't think humans can become strong that quickly.'' As a result, time often skips by several months in the story, and in the next episode the broken bone has completely healed or the training has ended, but in the world of Demon Slayer, time actually goes by for quite a while.

Yea Demon Slayer takes a quite simple idea and try to execute it really well

I don't understand people who say that the story is basic too, most things are a basic story and that doesn't make them bad, many successes are from a 'basic' story. The mistake is comparing animes, comparing with one that has a more elaborate story, I think that is very childish. Anyway, I love demon Slayer and i have the MOST FUN watching is in my top 5 favorite animes.

If you like character progressions you will LOVE the things you see in this show :)

27:05 He puts his hands into his clothes, and his sleeves naturally float.

I know you will enjoy this. The first season is the longest with 26 episodes. But with all these questions you have, will be answered with each episode.

18:50 May I introduce Mr. Wick to the conversation

a lot of anime characters run with their hands behind their back because it's the way ninja's used to run. they do it to save energy, not wasting it on moving their arms with their legs.

She does not get big or small, she can age herself up or down to get smaller or bigger.

EPISODE 2 HYPEEEE!!! IM SO EXCITED

Nah, Demon Slayer doesn't get too dark..- Rengoku

Tanjiro's sense of smell is special, that's why the guy needed him to sniff the broken pottery I wouldn't call it a Super Power type of special but he's on par with a chef that can taste individual parts of a meal he has years of training up on a mountain in the middle of a forest making charcoal.

18:34 Luke is so fucking based for this, i dont know about others but my country community always have problems about demon slayer having simple plotlines. People always find a reason to dislike something thats great

If you think about it, you’ll see his father’s backstory, but Tanjiro was in charge of carrying charcoal where he got it from somewhere, chopped wood, and climbed his hometown mountain all the time. That definitely strengthens the body!

The reason why in many anime characters runs hands behind their back is because it is technique all the way from 12th century Japan where ninjas ran "hands behind their back" to conserve energy. so its real thing and not just made up for anime.

I'm very enjoying this. Your reactions to anime I enjoy are great to me. The 1st training arc begins!😃

The issue with Demon Slayer is not the show itself but the anime community. For them vanilla ice cream aint enough, they want things complex which Demon Slayer is not, is very straight forward and simple, you have your bad guy to beat and the character has to make his way to beat it like a dark souls game, you have your final boss and along the way you have other bosses to beat, as simple as that, there is not much twist. Nice simple story to follow, good animation, really good animation, excellent animation, great music and splendid fights. Because its by the studio ufotable, who are known by their great animation quality, people say is a bad anime carried by the animation, but i desagree, i think is just one component and that everything else is ok. Not everyday you get to eat ice cream, so even if its a very good looking vanilla ice cream, i will enjoy it to the fullest extend and i hope you enjoy it as well.

I can not wait you to experience the amount of epic battles, epic moments, epic characterd and of course you'll fall in love with this anime. Some scenes pus you to the edge of your seat. Buckle up

18:55 It’s a shonen anime. People complain way too much. Especially now. It may have been fair to say it relies heavily on the animation and action in season 1 (I like season one) but it gets better every season. People who say the story lacks are wrong. 21:90 You couldn’t walk up a mountain after running for hours carrying a person on your back though lol Tengu masks are a well known tradition in Japan. They appear in many anime. Naruto, gintama, etc. And Naruto might not have been the first anime to ever do the run with hands behind the back thing, but it IS the reason why you see it in anime today. Also demon slayer is definately modern. I think season 5 just started. It hasn’t come to Netflix yet so I haven’t seen it (Crunchyroll will never get 1¢ from me since they got rid of the option to watch free with ads, cutting off thousands or millions of fans who can’t afford to pay)

18:40 that's what im saying too!! I dont get why people hating it for being basic?? I mean, every hero story basically has pretty same idea. I just dont get it. As long as the story makes u really into it, that means that is a good story, idc anything other than that 🤷🏻‍♀️

Finally your reaction to this beautiful anime! I've been looking forward to it for over a year! I really hope you enjoy it! If the animation has amazed you now you will go crazy from the second season on! This anime gets better and better from season to season you'll see! Anyway Nezuko only has a piece of bamboo in her mouth, it's like a muzzle. 😊😉❤‍🔥 Greetings from Italy!

Keep in mind that Tanjiro just ran who-knows-how-many kilometers with another person on his back at full sprint, didn't sleep the night before and was walking the majority of the day before that; he only stopped to repair the basket which probably didn't take very long.

"hes strong" well... he was a wood cutter and lived in the montains alway from everything and everyone, had to walk some couple miles to get to a city so... maked sense?

Concerning your question about running with hands behind one's back, i think its about becoming streamlined and reducing air resistance. Essentially, run like a bullet through the wind😊.

As I was talking about earlier, the only character in the frame you will see at first is Giyu Tomioka

By the way, the guy with the goblin mask also voices Hakuro (the old oni) in Slime!

A simple story indeed doesn't mean bad - just maybe not for someone who is looking for a complex plot instead of more action .. obvious, I guess. I was debating whether I want to rewatch this along you or just listen to it in the background on 2x, but I think I'll go the rewatch route. Tbh so far I'm already enjoying it more than my first watch, somehow the first season didn't click with me the first time. I thought it was ok, but it didn't stand out. Maybe recognizing the simpler story helps me enjoy a rewatch more. Also season 2 was amazing even the first time so that really helped me too.

"Bro you just went on a run" From dawn till dusk... Just a small run without break. Anyone could do it really.

I agree with a lot of the comments, just because it’s a straight forward story, it’s just like you said, it doesn’t mean it’s a bad anime. This is the 3rd anime i watched after AoT and Death Note about 2 years ago and is one of my favorite alongside HxH. Also the running with hands behind the back is an old school ninja/samurai way of running to conserve energy. They use their forward leaning body to propel themself forward naturally so the foot follows. It’s not fast as depicted in anime it’s just a method to conserve energy. You can look it up on youtube if you’re interested to know more but that’s the basic gist. Anime just likes to over exaggerate how fast the method of running is haha. Anyways hope you enjoy the anime as much as i did! Looking forward to your reactions to future eps/seasons cuz if you think the action and animation and OST thus far is this good 2 eps in… oh boy you’re in for a real treat the more you progress through the story! P.S. i have not started the newest season but definitely will be fun to watch with everyone once you catch up!

Oh my, an another HxH enjoyer!!!! Love HxH so much and also demon slayer too

Demon is a very broad term in Japanese culture. The demons here are kinda like Vampires in a way.

Except these "vampires" eat the whole body instead of just drinking the blood hahaha

So glad you start reacting to this series, can’t wait for the following episodes! btw tanjiro’s VA is the same as Falco from AOT, his performance is such a talent

I love your reaction to Demon Slayer 😆😆 one of my favorite anime probably #1 hehehe I currently watching the latest season and episode 😁😁😁😁😁

The studio behind Demon Slayer also did the Fate series, so expect some next level animations.😄

I believe Violet Evergarden was done by Kyou-Ani, not Ufotable.

From what you can gather Nezuko is a demon now, but in terms of her look she may not always look "demonic". But to answer your question she is a demon from now on yes. From my understanding it is just her power that she can change her body size from becoming a demon. As for the muzzle it I think it is just that to keep her from biting and probably grinding her teach in resistance to wanting to eat human flesh at least thats what I think and understand what it is. But it doesn't seem to be anything special than a bamboo like you were thinking. I just love how adorable she is when she gets small. Love how she kicked the demon's head off like it was a ball! 😂She is my favorite character and just love the interactions between her & Tanjiro. Loving your reactions Luke to this series and looking forward to more!

I know your gonna love the next seasons also dont forget about the movie it is necessary to watch.

Originally, the 3 episodes were compiled in a movie that was aired in theater ... at least in Japan. We had at least one special projection in France, but that's all to my knowledge. That explain the animation quality being great (even if not up to real movie standards) for those episodes.

LETS GOOOO NEXT EPISODE 3 SO HAPPY😁😁😁😁🔥🔥🔥
