Ufotable is really creating a masterclass in animation at this point. The second half of the episode was simply incredible to watch. Absolutely a feast for the eyes.

I do think the first half of the episode was slow and I hated listening to Daki talk about how many hashiras she and her brother have devoured when she has gotten decapitated by Uzui twice already lol.

I can't wait for next week's episode. The preview with Uzui talking to Rengoku had me sniffling.

What a cliffhanger, so intense. The animation and fight choreography continue to be movie quality as well.

If only Zenitsu was asleep all the time, I wouldn't mind him at all. He doesn't scream all the time and the show is all the better for it.

How does every episode have better animation than the last? The fighting in the second half of the episode was movie-level stuff. And I hate that cliffhanger.

We get a bit of Tengen's backstory and learn of his family. Apparently every Hashira has a bad family situation. Only question I had this episode is that is Zenitsu actually asleep? Cause his conversation with Daki made it seem like he's conscious.

So, Daki killed 7 hashiras, but she's having a hard time dealing with some newbies, nice power level.

I know it's never going to happen, but they could kill Inosuke and Zenitsu. Tanjirou alone + hashiras would be better for the show. I hope they kill this demon as soon as possible, he's another annoying character in Kimetsu no Yaiba's cast.

KnY isn't carried by the animation .... yeah yeah. This studio does 80% of the work here. If someone thinks otherwise, why 90% of comments here are praise for animation?
I like this anime, but let's face it, Ufotable is saving this series

Ep was good but pacing was weird. I forgot that Uzui has such a short flashback ... Bravo for him for a great fight despite poisoning with deadly poison


You must be new to anime because this is literally nothing new, people always going to talk about animation and this goes for every anime. Your telling me you wouldn't praise the animation if it looked movie quality? Ufotable Picked up demon slayer because it was good. Animation isn't the only thing either, it's the entire adaptation as a whole.

Going from other seasonal anime to this is like night and day as far as animation/sakuga goes.

Ufotable hard carrying even tho Gotouge’s story is trying its hardest to bring down the hype with flashbacks and plot conveniences.


What plot conveniences are there? And it's not carried through story is good.

What a awesome fight scene!

This is like the 2nd best fighting scene since Season 1.

and a very long sequence at it, compared to that awesome scene from Season 1

Simply gorgeous and magnificently executed.

and that cliff hanger ending in episode 8... man, it almost makes you think this is probably a season finale episode.

Looking forward to see how they conclude the fight in the next episode. ^_^

This episode was so good, the animation once again is truly unmatched and this episode truly shows the power of not just a pillar but also upper 6. This fight isnt going to be easy and i really want to see tanjiro use some more sun breathing. As usual im hyped for the next episode, demon slayer is still by far the best new gen imo

Yet another action packed and intense episode, we got some backstory on Uzui, it’s pretty interesting, I like that he wasn’t just handed his title like Gyutaro thought, and seeing the entire squad show up was very awesome, especially when Zenitsu shoots Daki into the air, and I’m glad he and Inosuke are able to hold their own together against her. Of course the fight between Uzui and Gyutaro looked amazing once again, so many things are happening on screen at once, man it’s so fun to watch. And it looks like one of his wives showed up to assist and she was packing heat, which gave Uzui and Tanjiro an opening to really damage Gyutaro, and I figured it would cut off there lol.

I can say i’m still kinda sad for Daki, she got her head chopped twice now, but she’s doing things again with her third eye so she’s getting some more action, I like that. Next week will be wild, I’m wondering if the fight will truly end like the title implies, but we’re nearing the total episode count so it’s possible, I’m excited to see it!

Kimetsu no Yaiba yet again shows me why all the flashiness in the entire world is can't save any bit of subpar writing. Saddening considering that ufotable is one of my most beloved animation studios. The entirety of this episode was, like the majority of this season's previous episodes, a whole bunch of pointless dialogue and copious amounts of shitty humor and tone shifts. The latter in general has gotten worse with this s2, tbh.
Everyone was talking about how the animation highlights here were supposedly on par with that of most of ufotable's Nasuverse shows. I can't agree even objectively. While the animation quality by itself compared to most stuff this season, it's high-tier, but for ufotable standards, it's barely above average. It's a whole lot of flashy special effects within what were very brief sequences, anyways. The CG continues to look awful. The fights themselves don't really look THAT impressive imho. I also need to say this: I'm no fan of the character art designs. They look very much like ripped manga panels and just don't fit ufotable; imho, they'd be better done by another studio like Bones, David Production, or even Pierrot (now that it has a glow-up with newly recruited staff members). The storywriting and characters themselves are pretty much the same as they've always been throughout, if not worse...I couldn't care much for them at all. Not gonna lie, I even felt very bored at least half of the episode, mostly due to the inflated unnecessary dialogue.
For anyone enjoying this otherwise, good for you, though; even I admit it's still kinda worth watching for visuals alone.

I really like Daki and her temper tantrum is making this episode even more amusing and worthwhile to watch. Good to see RenGoku in Tenjin memory. Also Tanjiro plot is just so strong even if you drop atomb bomb on him he will come crawling to fight. Sleepy Zenitsu and flashy Inosuke working in tandem to defeat Daki, will be interesting to see how it proceeds & whether they'll bring her down or not. Demon sibling looks as if they are connecting even if they are fighting separately.

Regarding animation Ufotable always do their homework immaculately, so no question on that.

Insane fighting scenes, top tier and gorgeous animation all around the second half. I just wished they would cut down the talking. Series would vastly improve if it's show don't tell kind of series, alas it's shounen and we're getting shitty flashback during midfight and heavy monologues in split second actions.

Also, I thought the fight pairings are hella weird. Tanjiro should be fighting Daki since he already fought her before this, he should be paired with Zenitsu, and Uzui with Inosuke. Having double crippled against the main body is peak stupidity. Wining it would be plot armour at its finest.

Using the title hashira as an indication for power level is not very wise. Daki has killed 7 of them, yet she was beheaded 2 times effortlessly by Tengen. You are comparing the "newbies" to hashiras from the past and you don't even know how Daki defeated them.
plus, carrying the title of hashira does not guarantee that Tengen is equal amongst his peers. In other words, Daki might have killed 7 of the weaker hashira, or the hashira in the generation she killed could have just all been weaker.

for example,
While the hashira are the strongest of all the demon slayers, their strength varies within the title
so from your logic tanjiro and zenitsu = hashiras...nice logic dude

Bro! Inosuke is best at giving hilarious nicknames XD Praying Mantis is a great name to give Gyutaro for sure.

Ugh!v That cliffhanger was too annoying! X( When we want to see if Tanjiro really ripped off that demon's head, boom! We needed to wait for the next episode next week... Well, patience is a virtue, so I'll always wait patiently ;) Also, intense episode!

from a previous generation, maybe. considering how the hashira change very often, the hashira that Daki killed might have hardly qualified to be called such. Also, Daki has been undercover in the redlight district for some time, that's why Tengen had to investigate in order to find her. The way Daki killed the hashira could easily just be assassinating them while they are doing stuff around the brothels.

No you are right I think I have misunderstood for the most part. Now that i think about it you have a good point. HOwever if thats the case then i think that the previous hashira s might have been extremely weak or daki might have assassinated them?

I can see your point, the hashira have been improving their techniques, so the newer generation might be stronger than the older ones.
Like Urokodaki honed his skills and then he passed to Tomioka and so on, however, I still think that an average hashira would be stronger than Tanjirou, Zenitsu and Inosuke.
Well, have a nice week.
