Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba beated. Bit of an odd show, in terms of what it does well and poorly. The best part is, of course, the animation. The unique things it does with water are amazing, and the fights are pretty much universally fantastic. So that's a huge plus for the show. The OST is great too. Unfortunately, when there aren't fights, everything is extremely hit or miss, particularly the characters.

Tanjiro's a really great MC, and Nezuko's a pretty fun companion. The rest of the cast is mainly shit though. Zenitsu's a truly awful character and I fast forwarded through some of his scenes because they're so bad. Inosuke started out annoying, but developed to the point of his comic relief being mostly solid (but he's still not great). The Demon Slayer organization in general is stupid - I hate that the MC has to join a big group like this rather than just traveling on his own, and they all seem incredibly incompetent. How have they not killed Muzan in so many hundreds of years? The Hashiras all seem stupid and incompetent too. None of them have the capacity to come up with intelligent plans and none of them have accomplished much, which I guess is why Muzan's still alive. Muzan's a terrible character too. All his dialogue is awful, and his design is also stupid - why does no one ever notice his evil red eyes? The twelve kizuki or whatever they're called seem boring in general. The one demon doctor woman who wants to kill demons was interesting, but why aren't more demons like that? There's no consistency.

Even the world building sucks. Somehow demons are this huge threat and a single demon can kill dozens of humans in a night, but the government doesn't even know they exist. Blech. I wish the rest of the cast and the story could match how fun Tanjiro is. We could've had a truly great show if that had been the case.
