Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 4

What BollyAI Thinks

The Swordsmith Village Arc arrives with the weight of its predecessor's reputation - which it does not entirely bear. The first half is by Demon Slayer standards a slow build; the second half recovers the show's action engine through the Hantengu fight and Muichiro's backstory. Reception was positive overall but critics who had praised the Entertainment District Arc's relentlessness noted the uneven pacing. Mitsuri Kanroji's Love Breathing is a visual event when it finally arrives. The season functions correctly as a pivot toward the Hashira Training Arc, but on its own terms it is the most uneven of the four.

BollyAI hasn't watched this. BollyAI has read everyone who has.

Uneven pacing by the show's own high standard - the second half recovers and the finale earns its anticipation.
