Synopsis:

"During the Taisho era, man-eating demons inhabit the wildernesses of Japan. Young Tanjiro has assumed that tales of demons were legends until the day he returns from the village to find his widowed mother and younger siblings dead from a vicious attack. Only the sister closest in age to him, Nezuko, is still alive – but he quickly learns that she has been infected with demon blood and become a demon herself. Unwilling to give up on his younger sister, Tanjiro begins training to become a demon slayer – because if anyone knows the way to turn Nezuko human again, it's the monsters who turned her. "

It's weekly a Shounen Jump Manga. Read it for free at https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/chapters/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba


The hype man himself: Tanjiro Kamado

This guy reminds me so much of Deku (MHA) and Ichigo (Bleach). He is incredibly kind and respectful.

Oh, yeah… This is my first actual OT. I've helped with others on their own OT but this is my first actual OT. Thanks to Mendrox for helping me. I appreciate it. A Persona guy has made an anime OT… LET'S GO. Oh and I actually give a damn about this OT so I will be updating it and being incredibly active in this thread.

I read the manga during its jump start a while back and it didn't do much for me, but the first episode was really nice to look at (if trite). Will give it a shot.

Oh damn, I forgot this was getting an anime adaptation. The manga is awesome and hopefully this is as well. Is episode 1 out already?

I started reading the manga from the latest chapters when Shonen Jump US went free, so I actually haven't read anything these episodes will cover. I liked the first episode, so I'm looking forward to the rest.

Good job with the OT.

The manga is great and the anime is off to a strong start. I'm so glad this series is getting a worthy adaptation.

Err, Shounen is a demography. Even if using here as battle shounen, action is already there.

I remember reading this and kept up to date until chapter 50 or so and stopped reading because I ended up forgetting all about it. Episode 1cwas great. I might end up going back to the manga after a few episodes though.

The first episode was ok. But I will keep on watching it since I've been told the manga is also slow in the beginning.
So, I'm hooked (for now)

I love the manga. It's an action shōnen through and through, and it's doing that very well. It's got a lot of funny moments and characters are also all very likeable.

The anime adaptation is also great so far. I love the colours, the character designs, the music, and the animation is really solid so far. The only negative about it is that we will have to wait almost two months for the GOAT Inosuke to be introduced.

So I just watched the first episode. It's really good, but is it just me or does Tanjirou look a little tall in here compared the manga?

You know, if there's one thing you need to add to the OP, it's the, well, OP. And a GIF of the rad water attack effects from it. It might be the visually coolest fighting style used by a shonen lead since Hyper Dying Will from Reborn.

I can't wait until we see the breaths used outside of the opening. I love all the full page or double-pages moves in the manga.

Btw here are a few gifs from Sakugabooru:

This thread title is blasphemy. Tanjirou is a much better protagonist than either Deku or Ichigo!

Need to catch the first episode still. I love this series.

That wasn't a particularly good pilot, but the promise of the weird stuff shown in the OP was enough to make me want to keep watching.

Glad to see that an OT was made for Kimetsu, ya did a good job on it. First episode was pretty damn great in my opinion and I'm really excited for whats to come next especially if they keep this level of quality throughout.

No lies detected. Tanjirō's great. He's kind hearted but not annoying, and just gets shit done.

Exactly. He's a legit good person and it comes off as genuine in the series. Dude was raised right.

I will say though, there is one aspect of the series that's heavily reminiscent of Bleach...

The Motherf'n Pillars.

Gonna jump on the bandwagon and also say Tanjiro is a great mc. From what I've read so far I've found him to be really likeable, he's just a super wholesome and good guy.

Some more preview images for the next episode. They don't contain any spoilers but I'll put them in a spoiler just in case.

It looks nice but seems very generic. I'll give it a few episodes more though, just because I loved the visuals. I gave Dullroro 8 eps before dropping it, so I'll prob give this one at least that much.

Yeah, yeah XD

I just hope all those Tax evasion charges at Ufotable won't affect this
Uhhhh... care to explain??

I can't explain why but Tanji reminds me of Deku and Ichigo so much lol I've only seen one episode and I feel that way

Episode 2 was excellent. If they put that much effort into Tanjiro running through an obstacle course, I can't wait to see what ufotable does with some of the fight scenes later on.

Episode 2
It's sweet how much Tanjiro cares about his sister.

For a starting encounter, the demon fight was pretty well done.

That old man that has to find a successor is totally going to be only 40 or something, with this being anime.

Episode 2

Great episode, Tanjirou is just super wholesome and the show just looks and is animated so nicely.

Also, the ED shows Tanjirou and Nezuko's father.



I just love the colours.
