When comparingDemon SlayerandArcane, it’s easy to see why the two shows are rivals. They both push the boundaries of what animated shows have been capable of so far, from the unique art style to fluid fighting animation. However, when considering the core appeal of animated shows,Demon Slayerhas the edge onArcanewith its beautiful animation. The fight scenes are what makes the anime worth it, despite not having the most fully fleshed-out characters or a satisfying ending to be worth sticking the end for.
WhileArcaneis an amazing show that even Henry Cavill couldn’t put down, it cannot match the pure spectacle and excitement of the battles inDemon Slayer. The vibrant colors and intense emotional impact are what make the fight scenes so hyped for the fans ofDemon Slayer.Each fight is unique too, it’s not repetitive and there’s not one dull moment. Ufotable did a phenomenal job of attracting fans with the animation.
Are Fight Scenes the Biggest Reason forDemon Slayer’sSuccess?
The fight choreography inDemon Slayeris unique to the anime only and its biggest achievement. The fluid animation ensures that every fight feels like a meticulously designed piece of art. The anime, created byKoyoharu Gotougeand animated by Ufotable, is known for its spectacle of vibrant colors, seamless movement, and how beautiful the elements look. The visuals ofDemon Slayerare maximised by the balanced blend of traditional 2D animation with modern CGI techniques that give the combat scenes something onlythis anime can replicate. It is truly unmatched and not evenArcane,which has its own distinct art style, has fight choreography this good.
I would rather rewatch Demon Slayer than Arcane just because of how exciting some of the fights in DS were even though Arcane’s characters and story were objectively written betterIn other words, hype fights sell

Demon Slayerhas other aspects going for it too. Youfeel connected to the main protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, who lost his entire family and suffers every day for it. The death of Kyojuro Rengoku devastated fans and the grief resonated throughout the community. There are many more moments yet to be animated that will unleash the floodgates. However, the ending of the manga might disappoint fans greatly but let’s hope the anime can make up for it.
Are Hyped Fights the Key to Success?
The user,@the_doodlescrub, admitted thatArcaneis objectively written better, with its top-notch world-building and great character development. The voice acting is also on par with the intensity of anime voice actors. It has twists and turns that keep the viewers engaged. However, many still choose to look over it for anime likeDemon Slayerbecause sometimes, action just sells better than a rich narrative.

Arcanemay excel in its emotional depth and the idea that no one is just good or bad, but it lacks the edge-of-your-seat moments that could potentially go viral on social media and catch the attention of viewers. Many fans ofDemon Slayerswere roped in due to the fight scenes. So, in terms of marketability,Demon Slayer’s intense and vibrant battles are indeed much more viewer-friendly thanArcane’semphasis on character-driven storylines.
Demon Slayeris available on Crunchyroll andArcaneis available on Netflix.
