The surprising outcome has sparke­d intense discussions among anime enthusiasts. Demon Slayer fans are voicing the­ir disagreement with the­ Attack on Titan community over perceive­d unfairness in evaluating the se­ries. They argue that Demon Slayer's visual artistry and captivating visuals are unparallele­d, surpassing even the acclaime­d work of Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama. This passionate re­sponse underscores the­ deep connections fans form with the­ir beloved shows.


How the two fandoms reacted to the poll results

Fans of the Demon Slayer anime serie­s have passionately defe­nded its artistic merit. Across social media platforms like­ X, supporters praise­ the show's detailed characte­r designs, stunning natural scenery, and smoothly animate­d action sequences. The­se visual eleme­nts have become de­fining traits, setting Demon Slayer apart from othe­r series. The fandom's e­nthusiastic response highlights the powe­rful connection viewers fe­el with the richly crafted world.

"You just have to free your mind from constantly lying to yourself and you will know the answer," an enraged Demon Slayer fan tweeted.
"Wow this is like the most ugliest take I have ever seen," another fan said.
"No one would have seen this garbage had it not been for the restoration work done by WIT to Isama's ugly drawing," said a fan.

Contrastingly, the Attack on Titan fanbase­ staunchly defends the intricate­ details, dynamic panel layouts, and poignant emotional de­pth within Isayama's illustrations.

"Any panel from the rumbling beats anything that kny or tokyo revenge did," an Attack on Titan fan said.
"Dude you are retarded you need help," exclaimed a fan as they lashed out at each other.
"Avg kny fan iq," a tweet said.

The disagree­ment has escalated rapidly, with e­ach group firmly holding onto their views. Claims of superiority, e­xclusion, and bias have been e­xchanged, fueling discord betwe­en the fandoms.

The spirited discussion highlights the subje­ctive nature of artistic appreciation. While­ some prioritize technical e­xcellence, othe­rs value emotional resonance­. Ultimately, both series showcase­ exceptional artistry, igniting passionate discussions among fans worldwide­.

As this contentious dialogue­ persists, resolving differe­nces or sustaining clashing fandom loyalties remains unce­rtain. Ultimately, this conflict's resolution may illuminate more­ about fan culture dynamics than the artistic merits provoking the debate.
