Kimetsu no Yaiba

One of the best animes by Ufotable Studio, Kimetsu no Yaiba, revolves around a little boy named Tanjirou Kamado. In the wake of his father's passing, Tanjirou shoulders the responsibility of providing for his family. Residing in modest seclusion atop a remote mountain, the Kamado household manages to maintain a simple yet content existence.

However, Tanjirou's life takes a dramatic turn when he visits a nearby village to earn some income by selling charcoal. On his return at night, he decides to seek refuge in a peculiar man's dwelling. It is here that he receives a dire warning about flesh-devouring demons that emerge from the shadows during the nocturnal hours.

The following day, upon his return home, Tanjirou is confronted with a scene of unspeakable horror: his entire family has been ruthlessly massacred. The sole survivor is his sister, Nezuko, who has been transformed into a ravenous demon. Overwhelmed by an overwhelming mix of grief and fury, Tanjirou makes a vow to avenge his family and safeguard the last vestiges of his sister's humanity, which begins the incredible tale of Kimetsu no Yaiba.

This series doesn't merely depict the darkness and despair; it is a luminous beacon of hope amidst adversity. As Tanjirou treads the path of a demon slayer, his growth from an ordinary boy to a strong warrior is not just about physical prowess but a testament to his unwavering spirit and empathy towards even his adversaries. His journey is one of self-discovery, honing his skills while staying true to his moral compass.
