3/5
Demon Slayer’s “Swordsmith Village arc” is mostly a rehash of ideas previously used in the series, and while the actual action is still no less jaw dropping the set up and tragic flashbacks all fell flat. Go to Full Review Rafael Motamayor IGN Movies 06/26/2023
5/10
After the the Mugen Train movie's success in translating a short story arc into a single feature rather than multiple episodes, season 3 feels like a step backward, stretching a short arc into a bloated and dull season that overstayed its welcome.

Demon Slayer Season 3 started off strong, faltered a bit in the middle, but ultimately ended on an emotional high that made it all worth it. Go to Full Review Mariló Delgado Espinof 04/11/2023
4.5/5
Ufotable's animation is remarkably the biggest asset of the series. Although the story has an abundance of shocking moments full of action and drama, it does not offer anything groundbreaking that we haven't seen... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Noah B Sep 14 The fights were good but the demons were annoying See more Tyler K. @gorphead59 Sep 13 This was pretty mediocre first and last episodes were ok but the rest is kinda boring feels very draggy. 5.4/10 See more Cody W. @Cwalton1994 Aug 26 At the end of the day, DEMON SLAYER: SWORDSMITH VILLAGE ARC is one of the most important and powerful story arcs in the series, thanks to its incredible action sequences and emotional weight. See more dogo f Jul 7 Not as good as the last arc but still quite good! See more Robert M 08/29/2024 I felt that this season was slower than the last two but they filled it with a wonderful story and some good reflection. See more Lucio Leonardo P 08/04/2024 Spectacular anime with an engaging and well-written four-season plot. With stunning scenes, we have a lot of well-orchestrated action, dramatic moments that impact and make your eyes water, the “hero’s journey is very well developed, interesting characters that carry their dramas and that motivated them to be who they are, beautiful features with images beautiful, well-selected music, almost a masterpiece of Japanese animation. And I say almost because we do have narrative facilitations and clichés that are annoying in some situations, but nothing that takes away from the deserved success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
