PROTECT YA NECK!! 🖕🏽🇺🇲
One thing that wins me over on shows is the music so samurai Champloo, cowboy bebop, outlaw star, my hero academia, Tokyo tribe 2, black lagoon, trigun always pull me in with that damn sound score.
Right. It's like talking rap music, really. I say it's a combo of "I liked this first so I like it forever" and "My mind was blowed so I like it forever". You go from outgrowing Ninja Turtles to seeing an evil cartoon character exploding somebody to bloody smithereens in the name of good or some animated sex, your life gonna be altered. Comics are the same way.
Lotta cats prolly got Vampire Hunter D, Wicked City and Urotsukidoji as 10's and are hoping they show up.
Lotta stuff listed I'd nowhere near rate higher than a 7. I see it as base. But people like what they like for the reasons they like it.
Who am I to tell somebody they're wrong for liking music on the radio?
Huge sailor moon fan.... but who said this!?
Nobody said it, but with the line of thinking some cats have when ranking shyt they might just rank Sailor Moon over Kill la Kill.
I actually think Vampire Hunter D and Wicked City could be legit 10's, you can add Ninja Scroll and Fist of the North Star to that as well, but then again there's newer shyt that's 10's imo too. Hell, I enjoy Black Clover just as much as I did watching Yu Yu. Nothing wrong with ranking both high.
I like how you broke down the liked or blowed my mind forever concept. I agree with that.
Trash. Anime went to a strong 3/10 soon as the yellow nikka showed up. Trash ass shonen tropes

People hate Zenitsu, but he's gonna surprise a lot of folks come Season 2. 
This anime definitely should’ve gotten a 9 score or higher.

Ain't shyt
It's "edgy" to hate on this one. The only newer anime that might be better is Vinland Saga.

Anitwitter especially. When the anime fist aired, everyone loved it. As they should, because it's amazing. And then maybe after Episode 16 or so, when everyone REALLY understood just how great the series is, that's when Twitter people started shytting on it. Nobody had an issue with it before, but when something becomes big, all of a sudden it's "overrated".
Same ones who love Naruto and One Piece. And I love both Naruto and OP equally, they're two of my favorites of all time, but if Demon Slayer is "overrated" or "overhyped", people could say double for Naruto and One Piece.
My Hero Academia was another one. I started that from before the anime even aired, and when the anime began, people called it a Naruto clone. Then it exploded as soon as Deku got his quirk and Todoroki made an appearance. Now it's one of the most popular shonen anime in the modern anime era, probably currently the most popular to cosplay, and people call that one "overrated mainstream anime".

DS is not that special
In terms of what is amazing in DS imo is the character design (the characters have insane drip) and the animation in combat. The issue is i feel no investment or attachment to anything that happens.
I got shytted on multiple times for my view on DS but people are finally seeing it as i see it.
MHA is a funny case. The show leads you to believe its the GOAT shounen at first but stagnates multiple times which is what is causing this turn. It does some GREAT things but also on review or second watching you start to notice the show hasnt done as much as youd think.
I personally still like it for what it is. The next couple arcs more people will come for MHA is my prediction. I think its fine for the face of modern shounen though.

My daughter and I just got into it a few days ago. First anime that she gotten into that was only subbed from jump and she had nearly no qualms about it & continues to press on for more episodes to watch back to back (she's 7). I actually like that she's into it being sub only since it only encourages more reading from her, tho she's already reading at a higher grade level according to her teachers. The show is really captivating in a way that few animes have been for me over the years and to her as well from what I can tell. I've always been a knowledgeable, but ultimately casual anime head, so I haven't seen everything under the sun. All that said, I feel that I'm leaning heavily towards a 10 for the spow already and we're only about 8-10 episodes in.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think DS has to be special to be loved the way that it is though. And even though it might not be groundbreaking in storytelling, I do think there's a lot of elements to it that does make it stand out. I mean technically, Demon Slayer is very similar to Bleach, if Bleach had an extremely nerfed cast BUT to some... That's a good thing.
Switch out demons for Hollows, Demon Slayer Corps for Soul Reapers, Nichirin Blades for Zanpakutos, Breath techniques for Reiatsu/Reishi/Reiryoku abilities and there you go. It's not a rip-off of Bleach, but there's certainly parallels. Even so... Demon Slayer isn't what I'd call generic either.Take DBZ for example. Dragon Ball Z's story every time is, "Guy threatens Earth/Galaxy/Universe/Multiverse, ends up killing or seriously wounding some of Goku's friends, Goku achieves a new form and Vegeta is once again in second place." But that doesn't make it any less captivating, at least, to plenty of people you ask. People had their issues with Dragon Ball Super, but it was mostly either the art style, the power-leveling scale (Kefla angered a lot of folks a couple years ago
) and the writing for characters like Jiren. Other than that, most people still enjoyed Super as a whole. And if Toei brings back Dragon Ball again, it'll once again be one of the hottest anime being released weekly.But even if in the case that DS isn't special, it still doesn't earn the hate it gets. Anime Twitter would make you think it's on par with Sword Art Online, and I guess there lies the reason why people don't like it -- because for many people, Demon Slayer is their gateway into anime, so because it's "surface level", it's somehow "bad". But you know, there were people had the same sort of energy for Naruto and Bleach back then too. Sword Art Online is also entry-level as hell, and while I'd never say it's the best written series out there... It's nowhere NEAR as trash as some people make it out to be. (Even though Alfheim Online was weak)
My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Black Clover... While they probably aren't reaching The Big Three-levels of popularity, I think they're serving the same purpose. MHA isn't better than Hunter X Hunter, but people are going to gravitate to MHA for a bunch of reasons. It's the same reason why newer younger fans are going to check out Darling in The FranXX before they check out Evangelion most likely, or Kill La Kill before Gurren Lagann -- it's what's current (or more recent).
Hell, one of the biggest Shonen series in that Jump magazine is about high school volleyball.
Let's not forget that for the past year and some change, we've been getting hit with isekai after isekai nonstop. 
So it just goes to show, people like what they'll like. Shonen just happens to be the one that people get into easier.

It gets way better. If you’re giving it a 10 now you will definitely give it a 10 when it’s over. 
Nikkas really gave this top tier anime an 8.48 overall. I hate it here
