The new OP and ED by LiSA are amazing.

There were no noticeable new scenes in this episode. I hope they show one in the next episode to make this TV version worth watching.

It was pretty good.

I think this is the part from where the demon attack intensifies. Not as enjoyable as the first semi-filler episode but I've not rewatched the movie so it's kinda nice.

New OP and ED by LiSA was cool. The OP and ED visuals were just lain amazing. As expected of Ufotable.

If I wanted to watch the movie again I would’ve done just that. I thought they where gonna go off the movie and continue just like how they transitioned from season one to the movie but I guess not.

They announced few weeks ago that they are doing movie as episodes. Just for new episodes, no one forces you to watch.

As expected, we’re seeing the movie again but in anime form. I only saw it once and it was back in May so I didn’t recognize any new scenes if there were any, I’ll be depending on MAL forums for that lol, but yeah it was a good episode. I really enjoyed the movie so seeing it again is fine and dandy with me, and a nice warmup for the new stuff in December.

The real talk of this episode tho, is the OP and ED, both by LiSA and imo they were both amazing, I slightly prefer the ED but you absolutely cannot go wrong with LiSA.

I will never stop being amazed by this franchise from the characters and plot to the soundtrack and animation. Demon Slayer deserves all the hype it gets.

LiSA OP and ED for this series is fine but definitely weaker than her songs for the original season and even the movie too. Kind of forgettable I would say in the long run when I look back at her memorable anime songs for me personally.

Episode was slow but makes sense as to why of course, given how it's the beginning phase of the movie here in anime form. Tanjiro and Rengoku's conversation was eh though, Rengoku's clearly a nice guy but he's annoying too to a degree, like most people in this series.

The new OP and ED make it work watching for people that have already seen the movie so good. Interesting to revist the arc at a slightly different pace.

And the arc itself started, so far it's the same as the movie. It still didn't explain what those kids were doing on the train and the people are still reacting in a weird way.

Rengoku's sudden facial expression change was so badass, loved that. I also liked the villain here because what he did to that train worker wasn't objectively bad. He didn't want to live anymore and he got to die dreaming about his family. And that's why I don't like what they did with the Lower Moon demon later on.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

One thing I am still unsure about, the two demons that Rengoku slayed in this episode. Was that a dream or did that actually happen?

A typical villain with straightforward motives appears in this episode, yet it offers a glimpse into the show's future direction. The breathing techniques are categorized, and usually, a demon slayer can only possess one. However, it's plausible that Tanjiro may be capable of mastering all techniques, given his rare black sword – a feature unseen among the top performers in the corps. Additionally, I have a strong sense that Kyojuro Rengoku's demise may be imminent.

I like season 1 OP and ED better but I'm not saying this season's bad though.

Has anyone cried when Tanjirou saw his brother and sister? I almost did! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

So, why not kill them outright? A lil stab through the heart, a lil slash across the throat what's stopping them from doing that? Surely if you can tie a rope around someones wrist while they are sleeping you can kill them as well? Or use a gun, this is the Taisho era after all. As far as I know all Muzan ordered was to kill any Hashira and Tanjiro nothing else. But then again anything besides art and animation was nerver really important to this series anyway, so what's the point of complaining now ...

So now we're entering the Mugen Train arc for real.
Rengoku's introduction was rather... unique. For sure the 1st episode original to the TV version helps you connect to the character much more (and explains why he was eating so many Bento Boxes).

So the scenes where Rengoku killed 2 demons were all part of a dream, since the 4 of them were all sleeping.
Honestly, the fact that this Demon (the Lower One) can make humans sleep and have dreams where they can reconnect with the people they have lost is just cruel... Seeing Tanjiro being able to be with his younger siblings and his mother once again, is both beautiful and cruel, because he can see them again, but it's all a creation of his own mind... Not only that, but this Demon is using that to make them more vulnerable...
Well, that "Rengoku Big Bro" scene was kinda weird, but since it was part of the dream, it makes more sense now.

The new opening and ending are good! LiSA didn't disappoint! I already went and heard the full versions of both, and the full version of the opening is really cool, but I was also pleasently surprised by the ending theme!
Also, the opening seems to be foreshadowing a lot of stuff that is going to happen in this arc...
Anyways, really happy with these 2 new songs, directly to my playlist! But I can't say that I like any of them more than the 1st opening, but I mean, the 1st opening will always be iconic, so it's a bit hard and unfair to compare.

Really curious to see how this arc is going to develop in the remaining 5 episodes!
