>>280347602I personally didn't like the ending one bit and I found the reincarnation bit incredibly lame. It was one of the most cowardly, fanservicey things I had the displeasure of experiencing. It felt like the author wanted the shock value of an "everyone dies" ending, but they were too soft-hearted to not give their darlings a happy ending as well and too cowardly after realizing how bad the backlash would have been from the fanbase if they actually committed and went full-on Tomino. I'd rather have an ending where a Deus ex Machina shows up and revives everyone in the final stretch than the story ever pretending like it lost something, because this series played it safe the whole way through anyway.
Not to mention that the author did so little to make the reincarnated characters different people. It's literally just all the dead people brought back to life. Same appearances, same siblings, same scars, etc. Japanese authors are always too busy 'lecturing' their readers and hammer in 'symbolism' than telling a story.
>>280348731In a lot of ways, this manga reminds me of Saint Seiya in that area. A lot of the fights are also just vibes-based with splash art and two guys screaming, shooting energy blasts until one of them dies instead of any real choreography. Kurumada was never as talented as Toriyama to know how to make panels flow well and make a fight look good. He's also not as creative as Araki to make strategic battles. Koyoharu Gotouge is the same, they're neither as talented as Hori whose art single-handedly carries his manga or technically efficient like Gege who's art is comparatively as bad as Gotouge's, but he knows how to make fights flow well.
Coincidentally, both Saint Seiya and Demon Slayer were single-handedly carried by Toei and Ufotable. Saint Seiya by Shingo Araki's beautiful visuals and Seiji Yokoyama's god-tier OST and Demon Slayer by Yuichi Terao's signature compositing and Nozomu Abe's sakuga.
