However, the main cast is also way too similarly designed. It’s pretty much just slight facial feature differences and hair style/color changes that you have to go off of. Like literally look at the MAL photos for Theoto and Daiya, and tell me the 2 don’t like 80-90% the same, smh.On the other hand, I think the character design for Milizé is not bad. I like that Milizé had some wake-up calls that made her realise her virtue signaling was batshit useful. However, her angsty teen romance felt very forced and random: what reason does she have to suddenly fall for a dude who’s voice she can only hear, and who, relatively speaking, she’s barely interacted with over the course of her life.
On the note of Shin, I found certain traits and quirks about him interesting, but overall I consider him to be as generic a secondary main as you can get. Aside from bad-assery during fights, there’s really not a whole lot he’s got going. I felt that his struggles with his brotherly bond, which was his defining trait, was really underdeveloped and suddenly rushed/crammed into the episode where he confronted his brother. That final confrontation also felt pretty, idk, underwhelming? The action aspect was meh and the emotional side was alright, but felt overly forced because of the lack of sufficient prior development.
Enjoyment: 4/10
Again, overrated != bad folks! Did I enjoy watching 86? Eh, I guess? It was watchable and had a few bright spots.
Instead, Kimetsu no Yaiba elegantly tells a story that’s straightforward yet meaningful to deliver its premise. We meet main protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, a determined demon slayer who stops at nothing to help find a cure for his sister, Nezuko. The first few episodes establishes their important character relationship as even with Nezuko being a demon, he refuse to kill her. In return, Nezuko uses her own skills to help Tanjiro when he is in trouble fighting demons on his own. Early episodes also shows Tanjiro learning the ropes as a demon slayer. The anime makes it clear about the reality of their world where death is common and can happen in the brink of an eye. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at what happens to Tanjiro’s family. With such a tragic setup, the anime seeks to bring hope for Tanjiro and his journey to make things better for his only remaining family.
In remembering the past, Kimetsu no Yaiba is known for showing the importance of family. Known for showing rather than telling, it should be easy to see the close relationship Tanjiro has with his sister, mother, and father. Throughout the show, Tanjiro is also known for his duty to eliminate demons although he doesn’t truly hate all of them.
