Here I am again, with my KnY anime rants.
I've been looking through Kimetsu no Yaiba's chapters again and I really doubt it will end up on a early day time TV block when animated.
It's too violent, right from the start. A lot of limbs fly off of demons that look exactly like humans for the most part, all the time, and they don't fly off on their own, the get cut with blades and swords and the blood gushes out every time. Decapitation is constant and it is a crucial part of the manga. Blood is spilled all the time, with a lot of brutality behind it.
Heck, in chapter one we get a shot of a group of dead people that were slaughtered, blood is splattered everywhere, on the walls, it's also winter, so the blood will be even more impactful. In chapter two there's another group of slaughtered people with blood splattered everywhere, a humanoid shaped demon gets decapitated by a powerful kick, we have a scene of a body falling from a cliff that gets pulverized by the impact and blood gushes everywhere and we get some axe action as well. In chapter 6 an actual human gets his neck crushed while coughing blood and that's a brutal death.
And the violence goes on. There's too much body horror going on for this to work on early daytime TV, if the demons didn't look exactly like humans a lot of the times, then maybe it would work on early day time TV, but the demons are almost identical to humans mostly, especially their body shapes.
Since the wait for the anime being announced is somewhat longer, I assume when the anime comes, it will have two cours. If that happens, I expect them to adapt around 44-48 chapters or even slightly more. If they do that, the violence only gets much worse. I guess it would make sense to adapt this much, since we would get to know the other characters better and see them shine.
If they decide to adapt until around chapter 66, then there'll be some more crazy violence highlights. If they adapt this much, then we'll also get introduced to another set of memorable important characters, but that can be achieved even by adapting up until chapter 48.
Even as a late night anime it will probably be censored at parts, how much will depend on multiple factors. KnY could air on an early morning TV time slot, for example the one where Nanatsu no Taizai is airing, on what would be what replaced the Nichigo tv slot.
It could also air anywhere between 17:30-19:30
So I'd say Toei are out for sure. But it's still in danger when it comes to Pierrot, sigh.
