I'm not a fan of Demon Slayer in general, I mostly watch it for the animation, and I think making an entire season just for the training arc was a bad idea. They dragged out those episodes and it made an already meh arc even more annoying to get through, I think they should have simply compressed the training arc and have it on the same season as the final arc. Instead they had a season that manages to feel extremely slow and fillery despite how short it was. Like, I would prefer a very long season that includes both the training and the final arc than watch a short dragged out season for an arc that nobody cares about
I’m curious to know why you didn’t enjoy Demon Slayer this year. What are your thoughts?

Ah, I see what you mean! I think it feels like a nice break between the last heavy season and these upcoming heavy movies, but to each their own :)
I wrote a short review way back in January 2024 when I first read the manga, I thought of including the link but I didnt want the post to feel cluttered. https://open.substack.com/pub/mariascorner/p/january-wrap-up?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1mvvgw
I highly recommend giving it a chance! I've gone back and reread it a couple times since my review, and every time I love it more
