So your defense is that it ended? The best part about the story is it’s over?

Perhaps I framed that badly. I enjoyed the story that was told. The thing for me that gives it staying power is that it was conclusive. It set out the narrative from the beginning and (as the manga is concerned) was paced effectively, though the last arc shotgun spread a lot of escalation that at least found a solid conclusion. It’d be lazy of me to point at Naruto and Bleach of going beyond the pale in meandering with filler and horrendous power creep but serves as a touchstone example of

what happens when the writer goes beyond what they set out to tell and looks like they’re coming up with developments happening suddenly and bring down the story told up to that point.

I must underscore I am in full agreement with your original point that this story would’ve been pretty bargain bin as a story if Ufotable didn’t pick it up.

The best part of the story for me is that Gotouge took careful note of clearly demarcating how long Tanjiro took to learn the skills necessary to survive in that world. It was a continuous process for him to hone his craft and also heal from devastating injury.

I agree some series (One Piece) have the worst pacing ever and get unnecessarily dragged out for wayyy too long especially when its animated. I do appreciate the conciseness of the story and how the author write with purpose. I call it mid because there’s not as much depth or world-building that I would like and muzan is also pretty one dimensional but its still a great read and I still get hyped when watching it as well lol

I meant the fluidity of it. Blue locks style and design is certainly more suited for it but the animation is lackluster like 90% of the time lol

Yes of course. The world building leaves more to be desired, especially considering the timeframe of the show is set in the Taishō era, around 1910-1926. For the story being as conclusive as it is, there’s no wiggle room to expand on concepts in earlier historical eras, but a better writer than me could probably make it work.

This is more of character design than animation

I think it’s more art style than character design. The design is like the clothes they wear, their hair, etc

Agree completely. The best arc was the spider arc and the rest is just not good 😭
