Many viewers have criticized *Demon Slayer* for its straightforward plot, simple characters, and predictable story. The film *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* shares these weaknesses, feeling fragmented and repetitive. The movie spends too much time on characters’ backstories, slowing down the action.

When choosing a new anime, it’s important to think about how you’ll watch it. Some shows, like *No Game No Life* or *Bocchi the Rock!*, are perfect for watching all at once.

Complex anime benefit from a slower pace, while lighter, more enjoyable shows are best savored to extend the feeling of immersion beyond just one night.
