| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well... nothing much to say here but yeah it was nice seeing all of them being in their own dreams. Goes to show what they care about most. It's always sad to see this even after no. of times. Nezuko's head smash still has its cute effect intact. :3 Yeah... rewatching the movie. The ED is really beautiful both visually and sonically. No episode next week due to the broadcast of the special election number "Live Election Sunday", so expect Episode 4 on 7th November instead of 31st October. |
 |
| The noticeable Director's Cut addition of animation cuts while everything is intact from the movie: - The opening sequence of the Mugen Train post-OP, before Nemu's Dream sequence for all Demon Slayers - Tanjirou running for 2-3 secs across the snow in his spiritual core - Somehow it's missing both Zenitsu and Inosuke's dream sequences resurrected. Probably will cover that in the next episode. It's OK if Episode 4 comes out 2 weeks later. |
 |
| Yeah, great episode. I didn't particularly notice any extra scenes and based on what KANLen09 said above, doesn't look like there were a lot of additions. Zenitsu and Inosuke's dreams are pretty funny. Rengoku's dream feels a little melancholic given the situation with his father but the scene where Rengoku just instinctively guards himself against the threat is insane. Tanjiro's dream is cheerful in atmosphere but heartbreaking to watch as he realizes the utopia is just a dream and he can never reclaim his lost family. :( I really loved this particular mechanic where Tanjiro has to kill himself to potentially free himself from the dream. |
 |
| We got a glimpse at everyone's dreams, and lol Zenitsu and Inosuke are goofy π€£ I swear the part where Tanjiro's youngest sibling yells for him to not leave them behind always fucking gets me. That whole sequence, with him wishing his life was still normal but realizing he has to leave them because it's all a dream, is so painful to watch. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| This episode was pretty cool. It was hard for me to watch Tanjiro leave his family behind. I knew I had to brace myself for it. As for Zenitsu and Innouske dreaming was hilarious. Looking forward to the next episode. Though I think we got to wait until next month. That is fine for me. I need a break now and then too. XD |
| Zenitsu is trippin, but his dream is still nothing compared to Inosuke's haha. In contrast to that, Rengoku's situation at home is kinda depressing. And when Tanjiro left his family behind fot good it hard as well. Didn't know his spiritual core was where the Unravel opening started, tho. Guess Tanjiro and Kaneki have more in common than meets the eye. |

BarelyCreative said: so I guess I am not alone here. That scene always gets me. I thought I was ready for that scene but I wasnt.Just like in the movie, it was unbelievably sad seeing Tanjiro saying goodbye to his family. Such a brave protagonist, not too many characters/people are able to abandon their comfort-zone like that. thebrentinator24 said: I swear the part where Tanjiro's youngest sibling yells for him to not leave them behind always fucking gets me. That whole sequence, with him wishing his life was still normal but realizing he has to leave them because it's all a dream, is so painful to watch. For real, somehow I almost broke AGAIN! π I figured I would survive this particular part since I have already seen the movie, yet here I am tearing up once more FFS! |
 |
| Now that the movie was broken in parts. Inosuke have the strangest best dream of them all. If you think the other 3 are slice-of-life. Watching this as TV anime, made the Tanjiro snow stage dream much better, being less a drag to watch. |

| ye cut your neck or die in the dream to wake up to reality Tanjiro |
| Zenitsu's dream was cute, Inosuke's dream was hilarious, but Tanjiro's dream... It was so sad to see him regaining consciousness and having to deal with the fact that his family members were dead and everything he saw during the dream was nothing more than an illusion. |

| I'm not a fan of watching recap, but those smallest changes are always a nice touch :) Nezuko trying to wake up Tanjiro and crying afterwards while receiving a cut on the forehead? Cutest moment ever! (I've remembered this scene from the movie) >w< <3  |

| Ah, yeah, the dream sequence again, and Tanjirou cutting up his neck too. Nezuko absolutely stole me with her adorableness in these episode. She got plenty of screen time too. So, yeah, no problem rewatch those all scenes again. |

| Again nothing new what most people haven't already seen in the movie. Nonetheless I really liked this portion of the movie with the dream sequences. Nezuko was just too cute, when she tried to wake up Tanjiro and ended up being injured herself :D Since the first time in the movie, I'm still wondering about what happened to Rengokus father to change so much. Would be great if the upcoming episodes give some more explanation and context. The situation with Rengoku's father is kinda depressing, but the way he stops the girl attacking his core was just badass. Even if you know what's about to happen it's still such a sad moment when Tanjiro leaves his family behind. Zenitsu's and Inosuke's dreams in comparison are the complete opposite. It also never gets old seeing the beauty of Tanjro's inner heart, but the cutting scene is still shocking. Imagine a dream felt that real and you had to cut yourself to be able to wake up. Not a thrilling thought if you ask me. |

Plstce said: Is this episode the same as the movie or are there some extra scenes? If you watched the movie skip this one bro, it's literally the exact same thing just slower in pace |

The kid running after him and falling in the snow is a punch right in the feels. |
| Well nothing much to say here. Just Tanjiro afflicted by a genjutsu. |

| Nothing really new in this episode, just some additional scene in here and there. Basically if you have watched the Movie, you won't miss anything. Lmao they really did the cliffhanger on Tanjiro cutting his neck, bruhh |

| The amount of courage Tanjiro showed in this episode is mind-blowing - first the courage to leave his family behind and accept all over again that they're gone and second, the courage to slit his own throat not knowing if it was the right thing to do. Respect, Tanjiro, mad respect |
 |
| Those flames around Rengoku's spiritual core looked really bad compared to what Ufotable is capable of. Kinda like a low effort copy paste fire effect. |
 |
| Nothing to say that they add something big in a recap but there are some noticeable things at the end card where Tanjiro's dad appeared and gave him a message he's really like his father kind and thoughtful to others and knows when to protect others to those in need even demons that are in need like Nezuko. |
  |
| This was the weakest part of the movie IMO and is a little boring overall for an entire episode, but I'm also eagerly awaiting the last few episodes, so that might be part of it. |
| Love re watching this part, it is so sad to watch the Tanjiro family part scene... |
 |
| even if this re run of the moovie , this still worth to re watch !! |
| ahh okay yeah besides the first ep this is basically the movie. im still gonna watch all of them tho to prepare for the next season incase i forget abt some details since im kinda into those so their plan worked! lol gj ufotable thiss ep, diving into their dreams, mainly tanjiro at the end there. fuckkk that last few scenes man why'd i have to rewatch that it HURTT. rengoku being the absolute man he is, great great guy |
| Um yeah...nothing much to say...but wait why is Tanjiro's father at the end there?!!! |
 |
| omg! still so glorious even if i have already watched this! i teared-up once again! 5/5. |
 |
| Wow Rengoku really is a boss d*mn the way he grabbed the neck of that girl while still sleeping, insane! Really liked his parts in the episode, I gave 4/5 for him. Tanjiro had some nice scenes as well, but the way he recognized it's a dream really irked me. Couldn't they have thought of a less obvious shounen protag plot armor way? Like Nezuko doing that fire thing from the outside alone would have been enough, him telling himself it was a dream wasn't needed...Also his father's ghost (?) conveniently appearing again smh Zenitsu's and Inosuke's dreams were ridiculous, what's wrong with them seriously ... xd |

| This was meh too, felt pretty formulaic in the whole dream approach where he had to escape the dream and write off his family for good in a way through that and not just stay there forever. Kind of reminds me why I absolutely love the Dream chapter of the Tsukumodo Antique Shop light novels since that LN took a much different approach than I would expect by the end and it was simple yet amazingly refreshing and executed there. Here, felt pretty by the books. Zenitsu's quite the horny man in his dreams with Nezuko lol. |
| the episode w the dreams and stuff, this shit hits hard |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Nothing seemed that new to me. But I wonder if they made any tiny changes on Zenitsu and Inosuke's dream. Or it could be that I forgot. In this part my favourite scene was Rengoku giving advice to his little brother. What he said was quite encouraging. |
| Zenitsu dream was total top. :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| As always, Nezuko being cute, in both dream and out. Everyone wants to be with Nezuko... ___ ___ ___ The scene where Tanjiro had to "leave" his family behind was sad tho. (and we also saw his dad... looks like his dad was originally a Demon Slayer too) |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Tanjiro's dream about his family is still quite emotional, really it's a big miss for him :/ |
 |
| Damn this dream one scene was sadge |
| Its funny how even tho I saw da movie, I can't remember everything. Twas nb seeing nezuko save da day again. |
