鬼滅の刃 兄妹の絆
あらすじ
日の出村の小さな町に夕日が沈む頃、竈門炭治郎の穏やかな生活は、家に帰ると家族が鬼によって残酷に殺されているのを発見した時に打ち砕かれる。唯一の生存者である妹の竈門禰豆子は、母親の死体のそばで動かなく横たわり、鬼の呪いに屈するように目が白濁している。炭治郎は妹を救うため、禰豆子を連れて治療法を探しに一番近い町へ行くことを決意する。 しかし、近くの町に到着すると、炭治郎は禰豆子が実際に鬼になっており、人間の感情や思考は永遠に失われたかのように見えることを知る。妹の変貌に打ちのめされ、鬼の妹がいるという恥ずかしさに耐えられない炭治郎は、希望を失いかけた時、鬼殺隊の一員である冨岡義勇に出会う。 義勇は、禰豆子を守り、彼女の人間性を取り戻そうとする炭治郎の決意に心を動かされ、少年を弟子にする。彼は炭治郎に、同じく鬼殺隊のメンバーである我妻善逸と嘴平伊之助を紹介し、鬼殺の術を教え始める。 炭治郎が危険な旅に出ると、下級の鬼から強力な鬼まで、恐るべき敵と対峙することになる。彼は苦闘の中で、禰豆子の人間の感情や思考が完全には失われていないと信じ、まだ救えるはずだという希望にしがみついている。勝利するたびに炭治郎の決意は強まり、妹の治療法を求めて限界を超えていく。 一方、鬼の首魁である謎めいた鬼舞辻無惨は、禰豆子の特異な状態、つまり鬼でありながら人間の感情を保っている能力にますます魅了されていく。彼女が鬼にとって潜在的な脅威であると認識した無惨は、禰豆子を捕らえて研究しようとし、炭治郎を必死の探求にさらに巻き込んでいく。 事態が深刻化するにつれて、炭治郎は鬼殺隊としての義務と、妹への揺るぎない愛との間で板挟みになる。彼は禰豆子の人間性を取り戻すことができるのだろうか、それとも呪いが最終的に彼女を蝕んでしまうのだろうか？この手に汗握る冒険の中で、炭治郎と禰豆子の絆は、兄弟愛、忠誠心、そして現実の構造そのものの限界を試す旅の触媒となる。

No need to even surpass; Demon Slayer is indeed the second pillar of Jump, and third in overall popularity in Japan. My Hero Academia is hovering around 5th or 6th place, similar to Black Clover, and the plot is still in decline with no sign of improvement. Of course, the anime adaptation is a different story... My Hero Academia is lucky to have Bones handling it. Hopefully, ufotable will seize this opportunity with Demon Slayer.

Overall, it's undoubtedly a solid 5-star level production. However, the slow pacing in some episodes, excessive forced humor, the overdramatization of Zenitsu's weakness, and the questionable changes in Inosuke's debut episode significantly affected the viewing experience. It even decreased my expectations for Demon Slayer and almost made me drop the series. The excellent production of Episode 17 undoubtedly redeemed the anime in many ways and changed many people's perception of Zenitsu. The production quality (especially the animation) of that single episode is top-notch. And then Episode 19 achieved god-tier status as a standalone episode. I thought the highlight of the season would be Episode 17, but Episode 19 managed to combine god-like animation, perfectly timed music, excellent pacing...

Even though it's not finished airing yet, I can already sing its praises to the high heavens! Episode 19 single-handedly pushed it to a new climax. Unlike the later, more sluggish seasons of "My Hero Academia," "Demon Slayer" just keeps getting better and better. I love all four of the main characters. As for the villains, their backstories are revealed right as they're about to meet their end. This approach is incredibly clever. I love "Demon Slayer"! It's the shonen battle anime I most want to recommend from recent years, bar none.

Even without the visuals, I could predict the plot of the first episode. As soon as the siblings appeared, I knew they were destined to die, serving as a stepping stone for the protagonist's dramatic life transformation. This kind of trope has become utterly tiresome over the years.

A true slow-burn anime that steadily builds up, culminating in an explosive climax with episode 19. It's absolutely worth the wait, like the finale, this anime finally blossoms into its most brilliant form. Thank you, ufotable, thank you to the original author, and thank you to the voice actors for your outstanding performances. You are all truly excellent.

"This anime film masterfully explores the deep bond between siblings as Tanjiro Kamado embarks on a perilous journey to protect his sister Nezuko, a demon who still retains her humanity. With stunning animation and intense action sequences, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Sibling's Bond is an emotional rollercoaster that delves into the complexities of family, love, and sacrifice."
