"His colour is technically blue, and his pattern is abs." ...I mean, you're not wrong.

And his pattern is Abs

When the world needed her most, she returned

It's always so nice when you analyze designs of characters. There's just something so relaxing and satisfying about it.

As an aspiring character designer I was FLOORED by these designs when I first saw advertisement for the show and even when I watched it it was amazing. Its amazing how iconic you can make a design even with so much detail and I hope to see more amazing designs such as these in the future

“Super Artist Level 3” that shit made me laugh so hard, the DBZ power up scream was fantastic

"His pattern is abs-". Well, that caught me off guard. Also, I never realized Sabito, and Giyu have the same chevron pattern, _holy cow..._ I love that theory of yours.

This is a great analysis but you’ll need to be careful because there’s bound to be some bozos that will spoil certain things in the comments in regards to some parts of the video, so tread carefully!!

Demon slayer has some of the greatest character designs I’ve ever seen. Every single character looks fantastic from the patterns on their clothes and the facial designs and colors on the demons. I especially love the designs of the demons because they have that inhuman yet still human look to them. My favorite minor design choice is the 12 kizuki having their rank tattooed on their eyes

My favorite design has to be Shinobu I love her butterfly aesthetic and her creepy bug eyes. It gives a sense of disrupting sense of danger also her *voice* is both beautiful and scary.

I'm so glad you're talking about demon slayer🥰

when it comes to character designs twiins iink is the hero we all deserve. Demon slayer is probably one of my new favorite anime and this video gave a new perspective as to why that is. As you said these designs are really iconic and now I can appreciate them even more. also that edit in 7:56 made me laugh so hard. Also a small tip if you're struggling with pronouncing names is one thing to keep in mind is vowels in japanese are always pronounced the same unless they're paired with other vowels. so A is always "ah" (as in ah-ha!) E is always "eh", i is always "ee" O is always "oh" and U is always "oo" so his last name would be pronounced somewhere along the lines of "Go-Toe (the "oh" sound is slightly more emphasized because the o and u are paired together)-Geh" (think hey but with a g instead) there's a bit more to the pronunciation but that's the basics. Hopefully that explanation wasn't too long. I studied Japanese in college and as my passion I think it's nice when we can learn things about other culture even if it's little things (I loved that little explanation about Noh theatre and their masks, their so striking and yet beautiful at the same time)

Idk if you’ve ever seen the upper 1 but I haven’t even read the manga but he has, in my opinion, the literal COOLEST character design in this series

Okay, so for real, super love how you noticed that thing about Giyu's haori. Also, as a side thing, I think it'd be great to see you look at the silhouette's of the upper moons (in the movie) and explain what you can glean/guess about the characters based on those. Would be super fun, with how intuitive you are with the subject.

If you ever do another “Best of Twiins iink” video (please I hope you do the last one had me rolling you’re hilarious), “his pattern is abs” needs to be in it

To be honest, I've found that color coded character designs to be my favorite type of character design! Such a fun way to design and help distinguish characters apart and help them be memorable! Even if that's just part of what makes a design great

I love the vine edits in this. It honestly made my day because they encapsulate the characters so much,

It honestly feels nice to you enjoy an anime your reviewing as opposed to other shows like RWBY. Really happy for you 😊👍

Lol, I loved the editing on this one. Demon slayer was a pretty good anime, I loved the asthetic, music and feel of it. Made me interested in buying Sekiro (though i haven't gottem my hands on it yet)

Colors and patterns are always my favourite parts of character design and that’s why I love the Demon Slayer designs. When I draw my own original characters I can’t resist adding little patterns to their clothes and scars and other markings to their faces.

12:05 I freaking LOVED that you used this vine voice clip! This Vine forever lives in my head rent free.

This is certainly very helpful. I’m really terrible when it comes to thinking of designs. Usually I worry a lot about silhouettes. By the way when you take silhouettes into account for character design is it based on certain angles/poses or is it just in general from all sides?

Great video! Only thing is I kinda wish you spent more time talking about the designs of the demons. IMO they’re the best part of the show. I’d love to see a part 2 to this talking mainly about the demons, their inspirations from Japanese folklore as well as the subtle stories their designs tell

This video was so GOOOOD and you pointed out so many things I didn't even notice!!! PLEASE make more character design analysis videos in the future!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

8:06 not gonna lie I'm obssesd with this nezuko redesign

I always liked the character designs in Demon Slayer but I couldn't quite voice why, this video really gave my unorganized thoughts actual words. Well done! I'd love to see you review Demon Slayer episodes the way you used to do for RWBY since you have a lot of insight on it

Tbh, I sometimes rewatch this when I look at my own characters and think of their designs, like how to make them memorable and how people can tell what their personalities are like just by looking at them. Thank you for this video!

I really love how most of the characters hair is black with some colours in the end of it it look pretty iconic

Aaah this video is so good! I'll admit that, especially when I started watching, I hated the art style and character designs in demon slayer and while I still sort of feel that way, I know it's a matter of personal taste. They're really distinct and well-designed. As someone who is terrible with names, the way you described the characters before you knew them is just how I was able to talk about them- it's so easy! I think what demon slayer really excels at is polishing concepts that are often taken for granted, which is really refreshing in shonen (which i think can easily gets lazy with well-known concepts).

When I heard the mask part I thought of rwby with the white fang and was like you're so right

I remember back when the anime first came out I thought the characters looked kinda silly, but the animation medium does wonders for these designs and the action makes them look so cool especially when they use their Breathing Styles. Nowadays I am genuinely blown away by these looks. They are so fun looking.

A thing I love about the hashira is how they all have the same base of the demon slayer uniform. Despite some designs straying far from that base, it is the same uniform at its core. It shows that: 1. They are in the same organization (duh) 2. A sense a comradery and unity to make sure no one sticks out like a sore thumb and 3.That despite their differences they all at their core want a world safe from demons. I think it really encapsulates the themes of demon slayers and how you can make characters with similar goals stand out to eachother, but not have any black sheep.

I stumbled upon your video and I’m so glad that I did! 🥰Thank you for using your expertise to give further insight on the amazing subtly (or uniqueness) of art in demon slayer’s folklore-esque storyline!! Like you said, the main character shouldn’t be the only character that stands out or that people can easily recognize and even the points you made about the eyes and masks were shocking to me!! I never even realized how much they helped in distinguishing the characters. That all works well into building character and I love the simplistic yet stunning art work of Gotouge sensei! Thank you again for this amazing video 🥰💜

This is so in-depth and fantastic thank you for taking the time to do this.

I just want to say I love your design videos. I love looking into the details of designs and finding meaning in it, what the designs are telling you about the character and making it look iconic. I adore demon slayer’s character designs too, so detailed and well done but still having really amazing animation. I really look forward to more videos of redesigns and analysis designs☺️❤️

This is some serious insight into character design I never would've thought of myself. You're into something here. Great video!

Mother's basement asking for opinions on a topic - I can only imagine Twiins in the bane vs pinkguy meme saying how she was born for this xD Boar boy is beast boy and I've yet to see this anime

This video gave me a much deeper appreciation of a show I'm already a fan of!!

I’m glad you like Demon Slayer too! The designs in it are so vibrant with colors and matches with the characters so well. I don’t know if you would make another video about this series, but it be cool to see more of your options on more of the other demons(especially the ones in the movie when you get to it) or maybe the breath styles?

This is helping me with my own character designs

Ever since I found your channel and how you talked about character design, I always wanted to see you make a vid about demon slayer and when I saw this, boy you didn't dissapoint. 10/10. I can't wait to see more demon slayer vids

more demon slayer love is always appreciated

Every time Twiins uploads a video, I feel the urge to design a character.

I am watching this EXACTLY one year later!

Aaaahhh I always love your character design videos! I'm a bit late due to the being busy for the past few days, but I love Demon Slayer and these videos so I had to make sure I watched. :D

You need to make part 2 of this when demon slayer is over oh boy demon slayer has the most unique design's I'm telling you this is nothing way more greater design are coming every character design has a deep meaning too it reflects the Story in their design like author is a genius

I aprreciate your efforts SOO MUCH. Ever since I saw a video of jojo character design, I have been wanting someone to comment of demon slayer character design as well. The fact that people tend to comment on plot and character development but neglect the character design,...Oh, I pity them. Anyways, this video was really good. I liked and enjoyed your analysis.

That same things when I found Demon slayer. The whole character design that got my attention. It on point. Same situation, late on type train. I'm not sure you going do more character design analyse demon slayer season 2 in future? Or maybe list or rank from best to greatest design

"I activated super artist power level 3" I actually stopped the video to laugh

Would you look at the character designs of My Hero Academia? The part about their eyes reminded me of another review and I'm really interested in your take, since there are so many characters in that show, too

Great job on this video! Very entertaining and very useful for artists trying to make their character designs more unique, thank you and keep it up :)👍

Honestly this is so nice to have a analysis like this, especially for beginner artist !

Nice video, your analysis about the caharcters and your personal theories about the designs of someones it's really good and well elaborated. As someone who have read the manga I can't wait for what happens from both story and characters. Finally, if you make a 2nd part of this video I would like (if it not much to ask) if you could make an approach to the demons designs? I think their designs are equal or more interesting from the humans.

Whoa…….I didn’t even notice that Sabito and Giyu had the same patterned coat. That’s so awesome! Great video! I’m glad you hopped on the DS train too!

Please make more of these🙏 I really enjoy good character designs too but unfortunately I'm bad at explaining my feelings and thoughts

Awesome video.

Good job, I agree with most of your video, while I think some parts of the characters are too over designed (one example Mitsuri, I think her hair clashes too much), but the animation is so good that they don’t look out of place or jarring while in motion

Tomioka's pattern represents the losses of his. One the red side being his sister who got killed by a demon the other one and you are correct is sabito's who died saving him and everyone in the final selection. This is only noted in the manga and you could've found it on google

Yay

Thank you for making this video!!! It's a great analysis on the art style and character designs of a very great show!!! I hope to implement some of these elements in my art style in the future!!

This was a really good video. I remember your video about how you were treated by the Rwby crowd and I just want to say your videos always make me smiles and the subjects you pick always seem to catch my attention so fanominal job once again

TWIINS TALKING ABOUT DEMON SLAYER LESSS GOOOOO

Literally always floored by these videos -- I wish I could see inside your mind haha

It is true that it takes time to make the unique designs in the manga before one of the chapters they have these little side things and Tanjiro and Nezukos first designs look very different from their designs now.

Hope you do another video about Demon Slayer's design with season 3 being over.

"his pattern in abs" I will remember this line to my grave

Amazing video as always. I really hope you do a video on land of the lustrous. It's a very good anime/manga.

Thanks for this video I’ve been getting into art so I could make comics and this is really helpful

This was an amazing video! I would love to see you you talk about more anime with great designs like this!

Despite my feelings about Demon Slayer's overall quality (not counting the anime), I'll admit the character designs are really good and easily the best thing about the series for me. You also gave me some stuff to think about with the eyes and hair shape.

When you said the self insert characters 4/6 that you had on screen are actually quite unique and well written and each are fairly recognizable except the middle two though nice video.

Inosukes boar mask lives in my head rent free

Please do more demon slayer/anime fashion content

Fantastic video. Demon Slayer has such a beautiful unique look. The only other anime that I think is on par with its design is Bleach (and Bleach's animation isn't 1/10th as good as Demon Slayers's) Looking forward to a Jujutsu Kaisen vid. Strike while the iron is hot.

Meanwhile in Bleach where characters wear the same outfit but still have unique designs and drip everywhere else

It's really the fact that I thought her hair was orange and his hair was burgundy For years now

Very new subscriber, just got into your content through one of your RWBY Videos, I’m enjoy it so far. Don’t know if you need any encouragement but just wanted to spread some anyway. here it is: YOU GO HEAD AND BETTER TALK YOUR SHIT!!!!👍👍

Hmm. I would love your take about Characters in the Bleach Franchise.

So I’m not sure if your taking requests for topics or not but if you are then could you possibly do a discussion on the SinoAlice character designs? (If you don’t know what that is it’s essentially a mobile dark fantasy game with fairytales involved. It was also made by Yoko Taro the creator of the Nier games.)

Demon slayer design has to have the best design for me if you look closely you can see the whole Story in theirs design Rui spider design threads tells his broken Bond I Will not gonna tell others once cause they are spoiler

Man, this characterer desing talk makes me think of dungeon meshi. Every characterer there has a unique look. I think you would like it if that's you jam.

I love your vids 💕

Yay my request has been fulfilled

I think tanjiro look more attractive when he wear blue haori.

5:40 I'm actually shocked at how good I am. I got Shinobu immediately and Inosuke after 2 seconds. I don't know the third, but if I had to guess it'd be less important demon, though my first guess was Rui. And I'm not even particularly a fan. I haven't watched anything about the show since like 2018

Cool thing is mr water pillars gi is the has the colour of mr fox mask stone guy, soz bad at names

What do you think of the Persona Franchise designs? (If you played the games)

well said

Masks were the main reason I got into Tokyo Ghoul. It's a bit of a downer anime so you wouldn't like it. But it was what csme to mond with your comments on animes that frequently use masks.

When I watched MB's video, you were the first person I thought of.

YES YES YES

yoooooo u didnt read the manga but manage to guess giyuu back story right??? like damn, that some skills, also show this stories great character design.

Go-toe-gay that’s how we at least I pronounce they’re last name

Now the question is... Do you become Super Artist Level Blue or Super Artist Level 4 after Super Artist Level 3?

Good video

Noted.

13:20 Is this new outro music or am I crazy?

"his pattern is abs."

They’re even in the Nintendo Switch game NINJALA.
