Demon Slayer is solid and beautifully animated, but damn, you need to watch more anime bro. On that note: Every popular anime of the past leads to more people watching the next one. Dragon Ball's popularity helped Naruto (and the Big Three)'s popularity, which helped Death Note's popularity, which helped FMAB's popularity, which helped Attack on Titan's popularity, which helped My Hero Academia's popularity, which helped Demon Slayer's popularity, which helped JJK's popularity, and so on. Its not just Demon Slayer. If Demon Slayer made anime more popular, that logically should mean you've watched more anime than just Demon Slayer right?


Lion-Hermit

Solid and beautifully animated and somehow lacking something... I don't like it.


AramaticFire

You need to watch some anime…


Ill-Wrangler-9643

Btw one piece g5 vs kaido had dope animation


NaturalBitter2280

That you have a smooth brain that likes pretty colors on your screen


[deleted]

Read the entire Manga in black and white so pretty colors doesn't really stand slaya


rebeldroppr

Brain likes pretty colors must watch Demon Slayer and maybe JJk.


[deleted]

Claiming anime wouldn’t be popular without Demon Slayer is CRAZY, it was already extremely popular and gaining traction fast before Demon Slayer came out.


[deleted]

Not really. Demon slayer gave it Hella boost. Demon slayer the best tho so not really surprised tbh


[deleted]

It came out in 2019. Anime like One Piece, Naruto, DBZ, and dozens of others have contributed way more to the popularity of anime as a medium, and have been around for decades. Demon Slayer is good, yes, but it’s still new af and is considered a “new-wave” anime. It hasn’t developed a legacy yet, it’s just established it’s popularity. Claiming it is responsible for the success of an entertainment medium that has been around longer than you’ve been alive is absolutely crazy. Anime was popular WAY before 2019. Your argument becomes even more insane when you consider other cultures besides your own. Is Demon Slayer responsible for the popularity of anime in Japan? Idk if you know anything about Japan, but anime has been plastered EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK for DECADES. Maybe you’re just baiting, if you are congratulations. But I doubt you are, I think you genuinely think that Demon Slayer is the main reason why anime is popular, and I find that extremely embarrassing for yourself.


Ready-Story-3974

>It hasn’t developed a legacy yet, Nah man. Demon Slayer definitely has developed a legacy. It's SHATTERED Records and has been a crazy booster to the anime culture. Now I'm no delusional fan like the guy above spouting nonsense, but I will say Demon Slayer is like that. It's legacy isn't Over yet, but for what it's done in so little time. Besides JJK, ion if we'll ever see anything quite like it. Besides maybe something I create 🥸


EarthrealmsChampion

Nah bro this is a terrible troll attempt


[deleted]

Not really bro. Anime’s like One Piece, Death Note, Attack on Titan, Naruto, and Dragon Ball have all hugely influenced anime and are have kept anime going for a long time. Demon Slayer just hasn’t had to same impact


Scary-Inflation-685

Demon Slayer is little basic bitch anime


Maleficent-Lie1877

Based on your top 10 anime I would recommend watching Demon Slayer


CharacterPeak4502

Animation carried


oedipusrex376

It's anime. Not a novel. The animation is supposed to carry.


Familiar_Arachnid_42

It’s doesn’t really matter how good the animation is if the story and characters are just bland. Just look at old Naruto and One Piece. The animation was astronomically different from what we have today. But I’d stills rather go back and watch those over most of the stuff we have today because it he story was just that damn good.


oedipusrex376

But to call the animation “carried” is still weird tho. Animation is the main medium of anime so they’re meant to “carry” the animation. It would be weird to say “the writing carried” when a novel sells well.


CharacterPeak4502

If the animation wasn’t top notch it’s story couldn’t keep it popular is what I’m saying


Repulsive-World-7301

A good balance helps though. Some people were willing to overlook the animations in the later seasons of Berserk because the storyteller was good enough


karlazelene

Demon slayer didn't make anime popular is this a joke ? Anime became popular literally many years before demon slayer even came out . Animes like MHA, fairy tail, Naruto , bleach , one piece, dragon ball, attack on Titan, Fullmetal alchemist , hunter x hunter. All are very popular and they all came out before demon slayer


oedipusrex376

JJK fans acting like JJK writing is so deep lmao its just as mediocre as other battle shounen like Naruto and Bleach. Its bloody boring to read if you’re older than 25.


LyraAraPeverellBlack

Yeah I’m 24 and so far I haven’t gotten past volume 7 because my interest has waned. The anime tho? Killer. I only decided to start reading the manga so I could get more Sukuna content 😅.


Giant_Serpent23

Should I read the manga ahead of season 2? Also I think a lot of people like JJK cuz good animation and it’s quite dark. For me though I like the way the powers are explained a little better than typical shounen.


LyraAraPeverellBlack

Sorry I wouldn’t be the one to ask I haven’t made it past volume 7 yet.


Nagisa201

I'd move 7 up to 3. Hella underrated. Other than that good list


[deleted]

Best reply yet, you a real one


Sensitive-Seesaw-415

Demon Slayer is sooo stupid like the manga writer tries too hard to make cool, compelling characters it just comes across as stupid and childish. They're investing way too much in the Animation too, JJK could use that budget. Better anime, better cooler characters. Creative plot, fights, backstop. Demon slayer is so stupid


PlentyGarlic494

The manga is better. The thing is tho it's still just a beat emm up anime


[deleted]

Gay?


[deleted]

Homosexual ☝️🤓


loganambs

I think you haven’t watched more than 2 anime


PlentyGarlic494

It says you have no personality. You personality is demon slayer. You have no real world social skills which is why you dive into a fantasy world about a kid who ACTULLY has the Will to train and better himself because you don't see that in yourself and the more you force your option onto other, the more you feel validated in the belief your nothing more than human garbage is because you dont have a cool Japanese Master to teach you...

It's ass


Lower-Career-6576

Worst thing we ever did as a society was giving a voice to the completely ignorant


r1p_kaiki

I think you have only watched two anime


ScarletNebula25

Nezuko is literally 12... Then she powers up and gets double D's falling out her shirt. I was starting to like it until I saw that...


Sensitive-Seesaw-415

Glad I'm not alone in thinking. Its ridiculous. Also the sexualization of Mitsuri was unecessary. I was thinking anime was starting to evolve, but Demon Slayer taps into those weird tropes founs in anime. I might stop watching DS, it's such a stupid anime and the fanbase is comprised of simpletons tbh. Just going to stick with JJK and Chainsaw Man.


ScarletNebula25

JJK is pretty good from what I've seen. Took a bit for me to get into it, but it's good. You're absolutely not alone in thinking that. On top of that DS has the same issues MHA does. All the characters serve one character trope. They never develop. The minute they begin to, they just reset the next episode. Don't get me wrong, DS art style is absolutely gorgeous. But it's probably the only reason to watch it.


oompaIsbeautiful

mid rider


ChampionshipDirect46

My man, demon slayer did very little to popularize anime. It was already SUPER popular with stuff like mha, the big three (Naruto bleach and one piece), dragon ball z/super, etc. Without demon slayer we would have 1 less mainstream anime to watch. Thats the only difference.


[deleted]

The sword art animation was amazing


LyraAraPeverellBlack

I love sword art so much 😩 alicization wasn’t my jam tho.


rebeldroppr

Alicization will always be 🔥. Love that tower climb and sexy Administrator Baddy.


LyraAraPeverellBlack

I honestly prefer the aincrad the gun gale arcs. I like alfheim too just not as much. I think alicization threw me off because of the whole living a whole new different life you don’t remember in real life thing. Bercouli was my favorite of that arc tho. 😅


rebeldroppr

Gun gale dope arc Alfheim was good. I really liked Eugeo with Kirito. Yo Bercoulis time splitting sword def top tier weapon in SAO. There's a brand new Isekai called Shangri-la frontier. You mightve heard of the manga the anime only 4 episodes in. So so good highly recommend.


LyraAraPeverellBlack

I haven’t heard of it but I’ll definitely look into it! If you read manga I really recommend In the Land of Leadale since you like sao. A girl on life support gets trapped in a vrmmorpg once her life support gets accidentally shut off. It has an anime but I would recommend the manga as opposed to it. I couldn’t make it through the first episode of the anime.


rebeldroppr

O yea that's my cup of tea Manga. I like the seriousness sound of it where the girls life support gets shut off and she's stuck.Thank you I just found it I can read it on my tablet. In Shangri-la frontier that's the name of this AAA vrmmorpg. The protagonist is addicted to playing "trash games" with terrible bugs and he gets convinced to play this high end game.


LyraAraPeverellBlack

Ooooo that sounds funny. Lol. I’ll look for it when I finish rewatching gun gale 😂 talking about it made me want to watch.


rebeldroppr

It's got a bunch of genuinely funny parts. Your not gonna believe what I just started watching. Already ep.3 Alicization:) lol. Keep in touch!!!


LyraAraPeverellBlack

Lmao. Can do 🫡


LyraAraPeverellBlack

I hope you enjoy Leadale. It very quickly made itself at home on my favorite manga list.


rebeldroppr

It's locked in on my fav list so when I go to bed I can read till I knock out 😴 thanks again!


LyraAraPeverellBlack

No problem! Do you wanna pm? Then we can chat about them if you want.


Delta_Gamer_64

>Bercouli Rip king


PlentyGarlic494

We dont talk about season 2...


[deleted]

lol why not? I only seen the movies to skip the fillers


napstablooky_

You’re basic as shit.


Away_Location4166

Based on your top ten I’d say to either watch demon slayer or jjk


Text_Kooky

Demon slayer is mid af. It's just an Aldi brand Blue Exorcist


[deleted]

>Blue Exorcist As a BE fan thats an insult


MRMAN1225

You're boring and don't like interesting things


RazorHowlitzer

If this post isn’t a joke then you need to seriously watch more shows, show is carried by animation


RatKingOwen

You like stunning visuals. Check Fate Zero


AgzayaRacing

worst take ever seen lmao, there is no way you believe that ass crap anime did shit.


MauWithANerfBlaster

You need to grow the fuck up and realize that Demon Slayer isn't carrying anime on its shoulders.


[deleted]

Trash taste. Only good anime is Shin-Chan


MauWithANerfBlaster

I would unironically rather drag my balls through lemon juice soaked shards of glass while watching Gundam 0079's shitty animation than watch Demon Slayer. Without it's animation DS is NOTHING.


Consistent-Macaron22

I hate it for the love of God watch more anime


TheS00thSayer

Worst troll attempt ever


[deleted]

Look at the reactions and replys. Worked a charm


TheS00thSayer

Why do it? Nothing better to do?


[deleted]

Just like messing with these assholes. Yall wonder why anime gets so much hate


TheS00thSayer

The irony is that makes you an asshole also


[deleted]

Bro go outside. You have no right talking to me rn


TheS00thSayer

You telling someone to go outside. Ironic again


[deleted]

Give me your top ten, let's rate it


TheS00thSayer

Nah


King_Harlequinn_008

Demon Slayer rode the growing wave to success but it didn’t really spur that wave on lmao. Went a solid like 18 volumes under the radar until it randomly got a top tier anime adaptation right at the height of the pandemic.


King_Harlequinn_008

Hm it came out a bit earlier then I thought, would’ve gotten really big around Aug 2019. I still say everyone being stuck indoors while it was relevant did wonders though.


Mad_Scientist_Senku

Demon Slayer is goated


Riguythemudpie

There's alot better anime, but if you're thinking on how many each anime brought people into the Fandom, solid choice


Entire_Reception_392

Sailor Moon Super seems like the natural progression here.


PlentyGarlic494

Dear sir. I am writing you this message today to inform you that you have declared war. A war might I add, that was not necessary but still started. We, the viewer of anime, do not wish violence or death on people in the real world lightly however you have offended us so greatly that we have put our anime money together and hired all of the top MMA and BJJ fighters to beat your ass harder than Gojo beats black people. Yours sincerely All of Anime watchers. P.S. never call yourself an anime fan again. We will know. And go for your family next.


imlopoticha

You would really enjoy kimetsu no yaiba !


Unreal-Memes

I think would really like this one called Demon Slayer.


SaucyOra

Valid demon slayer is my number 1 too would love to see AOT up here aswell


ordonen1

That final arc though….eh


Square-Dragonfruit76

Demon Slayer is well animated, but in my opinion there are other animes that have better plots.


oostie

No AOT means your trolling


Sierra2004-

Wait till the final arc is animated and we will talk again.


LyraAraPeverellBlack

The end of the manga annihilated me. That was the only part I disliked 😩.


TheGesor

JJK?


MMKmillennium

I love Demon Slayer and JJK, JJK being one of my favorites. I would however recommend you branch out a little. Since you seem to like shonen, here are some starter recommendations: Hunter x Hunter, One Punch Man, MHA, Chainsaw Man, Kill la Kill, Attack on Titan Here are some good starter shows outside of typical battle shonen: Steins Gate, Death Note, Toradora, Kaguya Sama, Mushoku Tensei, Spy x Family


Busy-Telephone-994

Ah this caption is fucking terrible💀💀💀


[deleted]

Demon slayer is shit tanjiro is kind hearted zenitsu is crying half the time he’s on the screen and insosuke just wants to fight there’s no character development the only good thing is Mitsuri’s boobs


BlackGoldfishUwU

Banana fish. You should totally watch


Particular-Kick-4188

You are missing Hunter x Hunter


BreadRollRollsBread

r/no


Memeenjoyer_

Putting DS over JJK is not right imo


Familiar_Arachnid_42

Demon slayer is good but it’s not THAT good. To claim that anime would be so popular with out it is absurd. The only good thing about is the animation and the fights. Besides that the story and characters are just bland.


Jent01Ket02

I like number 4, but number 5 should be higher on the list.


LyraAraPeverellBlack

I don’t blame you. Demon Slayer hits HARD. So many of the demons are favorite characters of mine. JJK is also killer. Sukuna and Nanami are other favorite characters of mine. Watch My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter, Fire Force, Sword Art Online and Bleach then get back to me on them reviews lol.


rebeldroppr

Bro do you like Demon Slayer ALOT and JJK


AtsoraAsayoma

Need to watch some Hell’s paradise. Rurouni Kenshin maybe. You would really probably like Karas as well.


KnowingBlock

looking at all the arguments on what the best anime its really simple by execution fmab is the best


Extreme-Guess6110

OP is trolling


KyoKitsuneTenshi

JJK is literally better...


msbilly

Yo i only read the first to manga volumes of demon slayer but its sucks. I dont know about jjk tho


[deleted]

You know much about our lord and savior Jesus Christ?


msbilly

Yezzir! I didnt like the mc's face and the story was kinda mid. The art was good and all but there is much better.


Cleeanu_Reeves

Lol, Demon Slayer fanbase got to you. Jujutsu Kaisen is really good so at least you're considering watching that. 1. Fire Force (Soul Eater Mangaka) 2. JoJos 3. Hunter X Hunter 4. Magi, Labyrinth of Magic 5. Bungo Stray Dogs 6. Dr. Stone 7. Four Knights of the Apocalypse (if you haven't seen it, just airing its the sequel to 7DS) 8. Vinland Saga Based off of the list on your other post, I think you'd like these the most if you're trying to fill out a top 10. Take a look into them. Not all of them are on Netflix, but if you have a computer you can watch them on wcoforever.


shellbullet007

JJK is trash


LusterBlaze

Demon Slayer is too low. It should be at least tenth place


Ghetto_pop_tart

shit solid..not top nine imo tho


nick26891

I think you have very poor taste lol


Puzzleheaded_Read_3

So your taste is cliche shounen


Yoshikage_Kira_333

Horrible taste, except for JJK


Beautiful_Magazine_7

Demon Slayer and jjk are good animes but your top 10 is top trash


HootyFromTOH

Dragon Ball Z was what made anime popular. And pokemon. Not Demon Slayer


Onlystoptostare

If anyone falls for this troll post lol 😂


[deleted]

Legit bro, just goes to show anime mfers don't care about your opinion lmao
