I Just started watch this anime and the anime was mind blowing the animation was so good like wow absolute cinema ... action scene is not much good but its first episode and it is just get started it was not a major battle but animeI just started watching Sword of the Demon Hunter, and wow-what a start. I went in with no expectations, but I was completely blown away. From the very first few minutes, this anime grabs your attention with stunning animation, a mysterious atmosphere, and an intriguing setup that promises a lot for future episodes.
Let me just say, the animation is absolutely beautiful. Like, seriously-cinema. Every frame looks like a piece of art. The way the lighting is done, the backgrounds, the movement-it's on a different level. There's this almost film-like quality to it that makes you feel like you're not just watching an anime, but experiencing a whole world. It's got that high-production value feel that really elevates the whole show.
Even though it's only the first episode, the story already feels rich and full of potential. We're introduced to a world where demons are real, dangerous, and clearly tied into the history and mythology of the setting. The vibe is kind of dark and mysterious, but it doesn't feel overwhelming or confusing. It's the kind of slow build that makes you curious. I love that it doesn't try to dump everything on the viewer at once-instead, it gives you just enough to keep you watching and wanting more.
Now, I'll be honest-the action scene in this episode wasn't mind-blowing. But I also get that this is just the beginning. It wasn't a major battle or anything, more like a small confrontation to give us a taste of what's to come. It felt more like a setup than a full-on showcase of what the series can do. So while the action wasn't the highlight yet, it's clear that the potential is there. And given how incredible the animation is overall, I have a feeling the bigger fights later in the series are going to be insane.
What really stood out to me was the tone and pacing. It doesn't rush, and it respects the audience's attention. The atmosphere is thick with tension and curiosity, and the characters-while not fully fleshed out yet-already seem interesting. I'm especially curious about the main character. You can tell there's a deeper story to him, and I'm excited to see how that unfolds.
Also, the soundtrack? It's subtle, but it works really well with the visuals. It sets the mood perfectly without overpowering the scenes. That kind of attention to detail just adds to the cinematic feel I mentioned earlier. Everything from the sound design to the camera angles feels very intentional and carefully crafted.
Overall, I'm genuinely impressed. It's rare that a first episode makes such a strong impression, but Sword of the Demon Hunter pulled it off. I can already tell this is going to be one of those shows that people will talk about. It's got the potential to be something really special if it keeps this up.
In short: animation-top-tier, absolutely cinema. Story-promising, intriguing, and just getting started. Action-not the strongest part yet, but there's so much room for it to grow. And the overall vibe? Dark, stylish, and totally immersive.
If you're on the fence about watching it, just go for it. Even if you're only mildly into fantasy or supernatural anime, this one is worth checking out for the visuals alone. I'm hyped to see where this story goes next, and I'll definitely be sticking around for the ride. Was very good the stroy the animation was cinema absolute cinema.
