It has become a point to note that before an anime could be regarded as “nice,” “great,” or “really good,” there are a lot of elements that’s gone into it, most of which include some spectacular script writing, good execution, very good art and animation, and not to forget, the sound elements of music and voice acting.

Many people (especially non – Japanese speaking) prefer the “Subbed” to the “Dubbed” version of any anime is the voice acting. Hearing the original Japanese voice elements which always contain the exact tones, emotions and pitch in the Sub give viewers way more joy than the Dub does, and adds to the surreal experience that viewers derive from watching anime.

One of such iconic feels is listening to the likes of Kuchiki Byakuya from Bleach say and activate his “Bankai” with such cool, calm yet commanding voice. Or listening to Monkey D Luffy’s funny voice in One Piece.

Of course, everyone knows that these voices actually belong to some people that work behind the scenes in the production of the anime, and as much as they’re known as Voice Actors, you should know that voice acting isn’t just acting, IT IS ART!

Today, I’d be walking you down a fine line of the voices behind those characters that we both have so much love and admiration for. Today, we’d be taking a look at all the Demon Slayer Voice Actors. So, grab your gear, pack your bags, cause this trip is definitely going to broaden your mind about Demon Slayer.
