Hot takes in comparing anime from the same genre.

Mine are:

Castlevania > Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba)

Link Click > Monster

Castlevania > Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba)

The only mildly warm part of this take is that Castlevania isn't really anime but western animation.

Demon Slayer has amazing visuals thanks to Ufotable, but outside of that the story and characters are as bland as, if not even worse than in any other painfully mediocre battle shonen to ever come out. If you look at shows as a whole instead of hyper-focusing on animation quality, pretty much anything with even mediocre writing will beat it.

Agreed. I personally can't watch any more Demon Slayer. It just was too stupid during the Entertainment District Arc.

That's on me though, since I've read through the manga and knew better. At least I get to sit back and watch all the fanboys getting pissed at the ending.

Yes, the first season felt good to watch but it quickly gets old. Just like Jujutsu Kaisen, there isn't a solid story or character growth to hold you to it.

These are two series I feel like I watch just for the sake of completion.
