According to Yuma Takahashi, ''Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba'' anime series producer, the series had three main factors for its success: "The power of the original work, the attitude towards adapting it to anime, and the environment". Takahashi explained that although many people learned about the manga through the anime, that in itself is not enough to generate a hit, stating that the original manga itself is interesting and they tried to adapt it earnestly without losing any of its appeal. The earnest attitude towards the adaptation and techniques from the staff at [[Ufotable]] were other key factors. Takahashi pointed out the changes in the anime-viewing landscape within the past few years and the increasing popularity of the streaming platforms. Takahashi said that by airing the series for two cours, it had the time to build up an audience. Takahashi added: "While the anime was airing, the story being serialized in the manga was heating up, so the timing was also ideal. It wasn't as if it suddenly became the center of attention; I feel that it steadily picked up fans and expanded its audience".<ref>{{cite web|last=Morrissy|first=Kim|title=Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Producer Discusses the Ingredients of Anime's Success|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-10-21/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-producer-discusses-the-ingredients-of-anime-success/.165365|website=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=December 15, 2020|date=October 21, 2020|archive-date=November 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107001002/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-10-21/demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-producer-discusses-the-ingredients-of-anime-success/.165365|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2021, in [[Tokushima]], the [[Japanese Red Cross Society|Red Cross]] featured characters from the series on [[Blood donation|blood drive]] posters, which helped to increase the number of donors.<ref>{{cite web|script-title=ja:「鬼滅」限定ポスタープレゼントで予約相次ぐ、献血バス派遣し対応へ|url=https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/20279017/|website=[[Livedoor|Livedoor News]]|access-date=August 30, 2021|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210529125051/https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/20279017/|archive-date=May 29, 2021|language=ja|date=May 29, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Ashcraft|first=Brian|title=Thanks To Demon Slayer, Fans In Japan Rush To Donate Blood|url=https://www.kotaku.com.au/2021/05/thanks-to-demon-slayer-fans-in-japan-rush-to-donate-blood/|website=[[Kotaku]]|access-date=August 30, 2021|date=May 31, 2021|archive-date=August 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830221648/https://www.kotaku.com.au/2021/05/thanks-to-demon-slayer-fans-in-japan-rush-to-donate-blood/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In January 2021, ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise's creator [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] discussed his thoughts on the series in an interview, where he said that he initially felt jealous of how the series attracted "such a dedicated and talented staff", and said: "The voice actors are great, the composer of the song that everyone knows is great. So many talented people showed up! In that sense, what I felt surpassed envy, and I started thinking, 'Man, those guys sure are something!'". Nevertheless, Tomino called the series cultural success a coincidence, explaining: "I don't think that ''Demon Slayer'' is a calculated or contrived work. I think that its assemblage was quite a coincidence", adding that in the anime industry people often get chosen for a job because they "just happened to be there" or their schedules "happened to align at the right time" and that it is rare for people with exactly the ideal talents or innate qualities to get chosen.<ref>{{cite web|last=Morrissy|first=Kim|title=Yoshiyuki Tomino Praises Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, But Describes Its Cultural Success as a 'Coincidence'|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2021-01-12/yoshiyuki-tomino-praises-demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-but-describes-its-cultural-success-as-a-coincidence/.168219|website=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=January 12, 2021|date=January 12, 2021|archive-date=January 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210112184603/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2021-01-12/yoshiyuki-tomino-praises-demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-but-describes-its-cultural-success-as-a-coincidence/.168219|url-status=live}}</ref>
