Not sure how to feel about watching a demon crying, but Tanjiro's kind words did hit him pretty hard. Whelp, Tanjiro defeated him in the end anyway.

Should I feel sorry for Zenitsu? Nah, Inosuke is just a bit hyperactive, that's all.

Zenitsu gained some points here. He might be a whiny character and I still don’t like him very much, but at least he got some values and sticks to them. Boarhead has to chill down a little.

Visually this was a fine episode but structurally, this was terrible. You could just feel and witness so clearly how this show tried to drag this episode out so badly to get that cliffhanger with Tanjiro and Inosuke staring down, with minutes of nothingness, redundant dialogue and repeated scenes taking up seconds that were from this very episode itself. The directing and composition for this episode was very clunky as they tried to retain that slow-paced format and turned it into a bit of a mess. Hell, the Zenitsu scene with protecting the box had its emotional elements completely neutered by having it play twice with no changes whatsoever. Didn't help that Tanjiro was just doing nothing and staring while he was getting his ass kicked and the safety of her sister was still threatened. This sucked.

The demons so far have been far more underwhelming as characters than I expected, but hope that aspect picks up with the next episode.

All the rapid drumming looks like Tenjiro is floating up with no gravity, but the CGI on the water looks weird

Zenitsu all of a sudden protecting the box was weird.

And within 1 episode it's shown that our beloved comic relief character has some sense in him. He knew all along, huh?

Well, Tanjirou is certainly a class act, by wishing somebody like that well wishes in death. And it was great that that demon was able to hear those words just before he died, that was in fact very good Karma by Tanjirou.

I’m finally starting to understand the comedic value of Zenitsu, only I felt it was done in the right way this episode. Before his cowardice was so ridiculously over the top, that it just felt more annoying than anything else. This episode, I really saw the community value of it, because they definitely backed off on it a bit.

And it looks like Tanjirou is about to lay down the law on that Inosuke pig man guy, so it should be very interesting to see what happens next episode!

Zenitsu was amazing at the end, unlike Inosuke. The OST playing in the background was definitely a great choice. The way he protected that box was so sad in a happy way. Loved Tanjirou's reaction but I was hoping he would just launch himself with the sword ready, not start shouting for a very long time, lol.

Nice ending to that demon as well.

Apparently the studio gets paid by the episode that's why it's within their best interest to drag it out as much as possible

It only takes abt 5 seconds for us to see how Zenitsu protects the box with his life and yet they decided to spend another 7 whole minutes to make sure we don't miss the point. They think we r all retarded 3-year-olds or what

I swear S1 was the most overrated anime season of the decade. It's visually astounding sure but that doesn't make up for how it retains and amplifies all the age-old issues of the shonen genre

What's funny is that the show was pro'bly self-aware cuz they've made it a point to insert how the drum demon's writing was "boring and emotionless"... exactly

Zenitsu, you are a good boy, but can you just please stop freaking screaming?

a wonderful episode. Tanjiro is so respectful even to demons.

Tanjiro is a lowkey better Hero the Naruto in the sense of he uses Talk no Justu after he has killed you. He doesn't have time to be wasting he is truly ruthless in that sense.
Idk if it is just because I woke up or I am on some type of drugs but seeing Zenistu say he protected the box made me tear up. My respect for him has increased dramatically since he took a beat down for someone he just met. He also threw another person which shows again that he is actually strong but just doesn't realise it. Honestly though in comparison to all other animes, the demons are the only ones I truly feel sorry for because a large portion of them didn't ask 2 be demons. Yet became one now they are forced to kill and go crazy and then get hunted by Demon Slayers.

I find Zenitsu quite annoying but he's really cool on this ep. The delivery cat surprised me but at least they got another blood sample.

Good episode! Starts off with an amazing fight sequence in the first half and then has a fairly compelling character moment in the second half with the new orange guy. Great title IMO because it correlates with both the drum guy's feeling that appreciation is "Something More Important Than Life" and so is the sister to Tanjiro.

I love that this show goes hard on the action -- but it also has an inherent respect for the poor souls who have been subjected to lives as demons. There's something so beautiful about that.

This show has really picked up. I was a bit hesitant on it for a while; I really didn't know if I wanted to finish it. I'm glad I came back to it and watched episodes 12 and 13. The villain had an amazing power and was so tragic, and there was atmosphere to that house. I'm really interested to see how Inosuke and Tanjiro deal with their situation. Zenitsu has even grown on me; I find his comedic screaming really out-of-place, but he has some interesting depth to him now too. Let's go!!

Not been sold on Demon Slayer since the first 2 episodes, but the last two episodes have been really good tbh. It's nice that we've finally got more than Tanjiro wandering around killing the monster of the week.

I was trying so hard to get into this anime but I have to stop watching as of this episode. The voice acting (English) is just SO BAD. The actors for the orange guy and now the boar guy just SCREAM into the mic every 5 seconds and it's like listening to nails on a chalkboard. All they do is YELL CONSTANTLY and it's beyond obnoxious. It's like they can't act unless they are yelling, and my ears feel like they are bleeding. I'll try the sub, but I had to come here and say something, because it just sucks so darn bad.

One of the best written and worst directed episodes in this show so far. I can't believe we finally get some good writing and this director decides it's more important to drag it out into a fucking cliffhanger.
