With the release of the fourth season of Kimetsu no Yaiba, the anime community has become more active than ever in voicing opinions on the adventures of Tanjiro Kamado and the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps, but its main activity has become the creation of cosplays and fanart.
An example of the latter is AI content creator Nendesignx, who paid homage to the characters of Kimetsu no Yaiba by recreating the style of older anime, especially those that came out in the 1980s.

Throughout his work, characters such as Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu or Tomioka can be seen in the iconic style of the eighties anime era, with prominent heads and a lot of expressive lines combined with shadows.
Nendesignx, through his Instagram account, shows tributes to other anime such as Naruto, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Hunter x Hunter or Dragon Ball, where he experiments with different types of drawing, from a Studio Ghibli inspired style to 3D.

Kimetsu no Yaiba and his anime revolution
Since its publication in Shonen Jump magazine, Kimetsu no Yaiba has been one of the manga that had the highest hopes for an animated version. Following the success of the first season, Koyoharu Gotōge’s work solidified its international popularity with the film following the Infinity Train arc, which grossed a modest $507.1 million.

It should be noted that the original budget for Infinity Train was only $15.7 million. Due to its success, other anime found a new way to make films using strategic moments in their plot, such as Jujutsu Kaisen 0 or Haikyuu! with “Dumpster Battle”.
