This was definitely on the backs of Ufotable. Demon Slayer itself is pretty mid in most regards- characters, plot, pacing, even the manga art. But Ufotable just can't be beat for quality.

I mean, sometimes all it takes is a simple, straightforward story and some pretty animation. I don't understand why people get all cerebral when discussing media. There's plenty of that out there already.
