Review of Demon Slayer

Everyone else liked this episode of demon slayer but I just thought the whole scene was like ... it was just like everything that happens when a shonen goes bad ... you probably haven't seen it ( and honestly unless its on toonami and you're in prison there's better anime... ) but it was the entertainment district arc , the episode where they defeat the blood sickle demon and his sister. They have to behead both demons at the same time, etc. The fight scene here was so over the top it was laughable. Like, not in a good way . There was a lot of bad cell shaded animation, loops of people yelling, and improbable/difficult to follow action sequence timing , explosions, etc ... Long sequences of inner monologue in nanosecond long intervals ( The time it takes to swing a sword etc ) ... just all of this in a sort of horrible shonen salad with too many ingredients. The anime version of a top ramen with two seasoning packets. This isn't what I want from demon slayer. What happened to the historical and horror elements ? Its flashy, but not in a good way like dragon ball z ... Based on the earlier episodes of demon slayer, I'd hoped for something a little like " samurai champloo meets yuyu hakusho ". But in this season, there's been so. so so much cell shading... and not even good cell shading like AoT . Ugly cell shading and bad particle effects, paired with a " fight the next guy " storyline. This is quickly becoming an anime I'd skip if I could. Which I can't, because prison.
