Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
In my list of anime that I had pending to see, one of the most outstanding was undoubtedly Demon Slayer. There were many people who had recommended it to me until I finally decided to pay attention to it and I started the adventure. After having seen the first two arcs, because the third one released last December I have not started it yet, I can say that it is one of the best anime I have seen both for its story and for its ability to connect in a sentimental way with people.
In fact that last one is one of the most frequent characteristics within this genre but the thing is that there are some that do not exploit them to the fullest, contrary to what happens with this story of demons and hunters. So well, today I come to tell you my impressions about this gem and why all anime lovers should watch it.
Let's start with saying what this incredible story is about, in a few words. The plot focuses on our protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, a young man who lives with his family and is dedicated to the sale of coal. One of the most important qualities of him is that he has an extremely pure and good heart, there is not a hint of evil in his being. What happens? - Well, everything changes when his family is killed and he and his sister Nezuko are the only survivors.
And she was killed by a demon, being that the trigger for our Tanjiro decides to become a demon hunter and thus be able to avenge his family. Also within his motivations is to be able to turn his sister back into a human, who ended up converted in the attack. In these first two arcs you will be able to see Tanjiro's training and the "missions" that will accompany him in order to defeat as many demons as possible.
So, let's talk about the plot itself. I will always be surprised by these stories and their main threads because even though it may seem like something made for children, the truth is that it is not. I told the person who recommended this anime to me that what I liked the most is how deep and raw the story is, and this is because it touches on themes such as unconditional love, family attachment, the desire to overcome, the value of friendship, etc.
And I say friendship because along those trips Tanjiro will meet a couple of people whose relationship will show us what I said before, that friendship is not a way of behaving towards other people but a quality that comes intrinsic in people. This also leads us to the fact that a VERY important factor here is also the family, I think it is one of the common denominators because both for the good guys of the story and for the bad guys, in this case, the demons, the family is the great engine that drives them and that is something that caught my attention.
The humanization of the demons seemed incredible to me, how despite being beings full of evil and whose purpose is to kill humans, they can be able to have feelings and materialize them in such a way that one as a viewer can empathize with them at some point; one of the most impressive things in Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Needless to say that the "gore" is very present. We see violence, blood, amputations and even tortures that give it that adult touch that makes me like it so much, at least in my case. I think it is a brutal combination of these themes because it creates an interesting duality, a demon who cries for his father or because he was misunderstood but five minutes before he wanted to kill you, I think the situation is even poetic.
I don't want to forget to mention the animations because it is another of the great successes. It is very well done because there are scenes where we go from 2D to 3D in seconds and that is something that impresses a lot. They also use a lot of slow motion, which when it comes to combat is another level because the level of detail we see is very top and realistic. So there you have it, another very good reason.
In short, an anime that as you can see has it all and deserves to be seen by all those who are fans of this world. Having only seen the first two arcs I have no doubt that it is one of the best there is. The first has 26 episodes and the second has seven, so go fast and easy. Don't waste any more time and look for it, you won't regret it.
