| Damn, I was kinda hoping to see the sword turn red as well... Tanjiro should've mocked the bratty guy that was full of himself at the end of the trial. Honestly he had it coming. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| So a black sword, eh? Reminds me of Kirito lol |
| Well after the battle only 4 of em made it out alive..congrats to them..and finally Nezuko has woken up....and my man Tanjiro got his first mission already..less goo |
| Zenitsu got a sparrow instead of a crow LMAO x'D I wanna see more of the butterfly girl she's really cool!! They said that 5 of them survived, but there were only 4 of them there...I wonder where the fifth was I feel like in a lot of these kinds of shows, you'll get a protagonist who's overly whiny, cocky, etc. and you don't really like them, but I don't find like Tanjiro like that at all. He's a humble, good-hearted person, and I like him as a protagonist. Heck, he even helped me feel empathy for the thicc demon! |

| The choices in how they use the background music in this show are starting to annoy the fuck out of me. The story is solid enough so far, the animation is slick, but it feels like every few scenes they have to BLARE the OST to the point where it overpowers the entire scene. The bit at the end of the episode is a good example of this - Tanjirou is being assigned his first job, and they feel the need to blast "epic" music over the scene for no apparent reason. The music is louder than the dialogue! I realize that with the subs that shouldn't annoy me, but I like hearing the voices of the characters properly, even if I can't understand the language. It feels like I'm watching a Christopher Nolan film at times, but at least with him is seems like a deliberate choice that sometimes adds to his movies. With this is feels like incompetence. Sometimes it is better to let the music fade into the background and provide ambience, and just let the visuals or the dialogue carry a scene. It's not like the songs are bad, they are just not being utilized well. I realize I am probably the only person this really annoys, but shit like this drives me up the wall. If this continues I might switch over to the manga, and then check out the action scenes from the anime later. |
| Tanjiro came back from the Final Selection in one piece, and got a neat looking sword to boot. Pretty rad design, imo. Curious as to what the pitch-black colour actually represents. |
 |
| Wow, another edgy boy vs crybaby MC. So fresh, never seen the same shit in My Hero Academia. |
| I see Tanjiro more as a simple and plain crybaby as many others stated before. This guy cares, his is sensible to his bones, wishes well to the enemy he beats instead of hating them, and has a concerned face while doing so. Of course he cries, but for reasons I’d cry as well. I can relate and connect to Tanjiro more then other shonen main characters I met before, but that’s just my humble opinion. |
| I like the Urokodaki scene where he was crying underneath his mask to finally see one of his students alive and well, let alone him killing the demon that took 13 other students from him for good. Only issue I had with that ordeal was the music felt a bit too loud and overbearing, to force the emotions maybe a bit too much since that normally always the opposite effect. There are scenes in anime that do feel more powerful with the inclusion of music without being subtle like in Assassination Classroom, but it was built up to the music well enough, here everything felt quick and the content itself doesn't hit that strongly so with the loud music involved, felt a bit off for me in that department. The flashback for the demon before tried to show some level of sympathy and humanity hidden underneath, but I feel like it would have worked better if it didn't feel that short and stuck together. It again, felt like a desperate attempt to get something extra emotionally out of a battle that was already done with and my head moved on from that already. Tanjiro's now a Demon Slayer and he's already got an assignment regarding disappearing young girls at night. Hope the next episode's good. This one was average, not the worst this series has produced and does have a couple of legitimately good moments in it but nothing special either beyond that, with some directing issues present for me. |
| The crow that talked at the end was surprising for me. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| so far the cgi environments have been really well done. this is some aot level stuff. |
 |
| I am curious how all of these characters will develop over the course of the series. It definitely seems like at least a few will return. Also, Tanjiro certainly got a quest fast, and I don't know what to make of it. |
| The scene where Tanjirou arrived home and Urokodaki started crying was so touching. Loved that a lot. Kind of weird for that crow to talk, but I'm not surprised. Also those "comedic" bits at the end are kind of annoying. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| This episode is touching 😔 |

| That tanjiro and nezuko reuniting scene with urokodaki hugging both of them was really emotional 5/5 |
| Damn, only the four of them made it. Well, congrats |
 |
| The mysterious guy said FIVE survived, but we saw only four. Interesting. |
 |
| most unexpected pair of comic relief moments ever at the end of that episode and i'll be damned if the timing didn't feel perfect |
| Why does the crow guy talks like an Npc |
| The sword forging dude is hilarious. Didn't expect the crow to talk, thought that was a bit corny but I'll deal. Tanjiro's sword looks awesome, I wonder what turning black means. |
