Short answer: no, not really — as weird as it sounds.
Summary:
We still don’t have a trailer for the next season of Demon Slayer — which is supposed to air in April.
Fans are concerned about the anime looking noticeably worse than its previous seasons.
It’s hard to imagine an anime by ufotable that looks bad, and late PVs are actually a norm for Demon Slayer.
The next season of Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba), which is supposed to adapt the Hashira Training Arc, is set to air in less than three months. Moreover, there will be prescreenings in February — yet somehow, we don’t have any animated trailer for the season.
Naturally, some fans are concerned about the series’ production. Usually, when a series is going to air soon but there’s no actual content previewed, the concerns aren’t baseless: it might indicate that not enough animation is produced to reveal a full-fledged trailer.
Why are the fans unhappy?
The main reason why Demon Slayer became so popular in the first place is definitely its insane level of animation. Studio ufotable went all-out on the action scenes in the series, and it’s often said to be one of the best-looking anime of the modern era — a claim that has some truth to it.
Of course, if the visual quality of the anime drops, Demon Slayer’s next season may face some very harsh criticism. This happened to series like One Punch Man before — where the second season’s action was far below the level of the first one, and the sequel was quickly denounced by fans.
The concerns are mainly about how the anime will look
Some fans are even saying the anime for Demon Slayer already looked noticeably worse in its latest season. This is debatable, although we can’t really forget some of the clunky CGI moments in it. Still, it looked better than most modern anime.
In general, ufotable productions all look really good. Their adaptations of Fate series are commonly brought up when discussing the best-looking anime of all time, and it’s hard to imagine Demon Slayer’s Hashira Training Arc looking anywhere near as bad.
Some fans are also concerned about the animation being done in time. After all, no one wants a situation where a series is unexpectedly delayed — especially one as big as Demon Slayer.
Naturally, there are also discussions about the treatment of the animators, which have been rekindled by the controversies surrounding the production of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Fans shouldn’t be concerned
The reality is simpler than it looks, though. Many fans — especially those who haven’t watched the previous seasons of Demon Slayer — are forgetting that this is actually normal for this franchise.
The trailers, as well as the theme songs artists, are usually revealed very late. While this decision is hard to explain, the current situation is hardly anything unusual
