Kimetsu no Yaiba's new opening is criticized

 The opening theme music for the third season of Kimetsu no Yaiba, which was performed by MAN WITH A MISSION in conjunction with Milet, is not at all popular with Japanese fans, according to a report from the Japanese portal Myjitsu.

 "The first episode of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" Season 3 was released on April 9 and has a longer runtime of one now. This premiere also saw the introduction of a new opening song, but it appears that this new theme song did not fit the franchise's tone, since there has been a lot of backlash on social media."

"The third season of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" will cover the alleged 'Blacksmith Village Arc.' Due to the severe combat depicted in the second season, Tanjiro Kamado can no longer utilize his Nichirin Sword, so he travels to the secret hamlet where they are made. In response to the recent failures, Muzan Kibutsuji is seen in the first episode calling a meeting of the Higher Moons at the Infinite Dimensional Fortress facility. at contrast, Tanjiro Kamado runs across Mitsuri Kanroji and Muichiro Tokito at the secret blacksmith village."

"However, the TV broadcast also featured the brand-new opening sequence with the theme song "Kizuna no Kiseki," performed by the rock group MAN WITH A MISSION in association with singer Milet, with a potent and upbeat new song."

"I don't really like this new song, LiSA and Aimer were good, I don't understand why the change, even though I want to force myself to like it, the truth is totally boring, and hasn't anyone noticed that MAN WITH A MISSION has a bad vocalist for this franchise? The song is completely out of place in Kimetsu no Yaiba; perhaps it would work in an anime involving athletics."

"Speaking about "Kimetsu no Yaiba," it is an unquestionably successful franchise that has helped the careers of the musicians who have contributed to it. The reviews are undoubtedly unexpected, and perhaps the production was mistaken in expecting that "any song would be well received just for the sake of being in Kimetsu no Yaiba."

"Additionally, the Kanto region's ratings for the first episode of the third season were 8.0 percent. At its peak, "Kimetsu no Yaiba" easily exceeded 10.0 percent viewership and even came close to 20.0 percent for certain episodes. Perhaps the popularity of this franchise is dwindling, or perhaps fewer people watched it because it had previously been seen in theaters thousands of times."
