Demon Slayer TV Review (2024)

Demon Slayer is amazing for adults. The storyline is brilliant. Everything is well thought out and detailed. The characters are well developed and you develop emotional attachment to them. There is a lot of Japanese culture in the series and the animation is beautiful at times. The series explores what it means to be human and the different personalities in our world. It gets pretty deep. I watch it with my 8 year old son. He is absolutely obsessed with it. He’s 8 but we haven’t sheltered him from much at all growing up. He watched Deadpool (over and over) at age 6 with no issues. The first episode is quite disturbing. If you’re thinking you should sit down and watch the first episode with your child and see how it goes, be warned that Tanjiro, the main character, find almost his entire family dead…including the little ones. This sets up the storyline and resurfaces throughout. It’s essential to the story. I thought my son would be horrified by it, relating it to his own family, but he was emotionally moved by it instead. If they can make it through the first episode they can make it though the series. But the first episode is emotionally brutal! The show develops surrounding this theme and your emotional attachment to the characters causes you to cheer on the demon slayers as they work to clear their world of the demons. If your child is going through a phase of fear of their family dying, you might want to wait on this show. If you think they won’t be able to handle animated depictions of children being injured and bloodied, stay away. If you do you will be missing an amazing experience. My suggestion is to watch a few episodes first. You won’t be able to stop! Then you can prepare and discuss. Also be prepared to spend $ on the figures and there are plenty of knock-offs. The person who gave the show a bad rating is missing pretty much everything. There is a lot of detail in the show that you can miss if you just have it on in the background. It needs your full attention and sometimes a second or third viewing to catch all of the subtle messages and jokes as well as the fine detail in the fight scenes, which seem to whiz by rather quickly. The support characters are bumbling idiots..but the point is that anyone can do something if they set their mind to it and their heart is in the right place! Demon Slayer is adapted from mangas (Japanese graphic novels).

It was a pretty violent show but is not as gory as other animes. I think it deserves it's MA15+ but would be okay for some children if they are mature and have watched other animes. And besides the anime is not that graphic in violence.
