| Hiro Shimono,VA of Akiihisa Yoshii from Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is the voice of Zenitsu!!! He also did Aoba from Durarara!! and Dabi from Boku no Hero Academia and Connie Springer from Shingeki no Kyojin. I also like Genya's and Haganezuka's VAs too. Nobuhiko Okamoto and Daisuke Namikawa. I'm up to date with the manga and the OP song gives us a fairly good idea where the first cour will end. My fave parts were the demon finally reuniting with his brother, Zenitsu and Genya finally talking of course,Zenitsu's little sparrow, Urokodaki hugging Nezuko and Tanjirou,Haganezuka's appearance and preview of next week's mission. I'm looking forward to next week's episode a lot. |
| 臭い- |
| The blonde guy getting a sparrow fucking killed me xD Fantastic episode. I liked the focus the hands demon received. I have to say it was quite interesting and emotional to watch and not to mention that I also liked the fact that Tanjirou was kind enough to pray for his soul in his next life. On the other hand, I felt the reunion between him and Nezuko to be a bit forced for some reason... maybe it was because of the humorous tone they tried to use at the beginning of the sequence but well. It was still a pretty good scene tho. Other than that, this was probably my favorite episode so far. Now, I'm really looking forward to Tanjirou's first assignment! |

If you read the manga then you should know that he guess right. Better re-read the manga. XD |
Kamiyan3991 said: And Huh? Pray tell, what's actually good about this story? All I can see, it's just a generic shounen "I need to get stronger/protect my waifus". I think people follow Yaiba with the same premise as MHA(it follows WSJ troupes but executes them well). Tanjirou isn't overly obnoxious aside from his inflated monologues. The overall premise and artistic direction of the series' also isn't too outlandish considering it deals with supernatural stuff. I don't personally think this show is particularly amazing, but it's entertaining enough... |

HiraKey said: justasadguy said: Is it only me or I saw only four people surviving the test, but that mysterious person with shoulder-length black hair which we saw from the back said he got 5 new sons? He said "Go-nin" means "five people". So, it's not translation error. And I think the more mysteries it has, the better the story (at least for me). *Note - 1 = Ichi - 2 = Ni - 3 = San - 4 = Shi / Yon - 5 = Go - 6 = Roku - 7 = Nana / Shichi - 8 = Hachi - 9 = Kyuu - 10 = Juu Yes, I am glad we got this awesome anime this season :3 Also, it's a relief that I wasn't the only one who noticed it |
 |
| That group hug brought tears to my eyes Also the scene where Tanjiro received his first assignment made me thought his sword was gonna change colour again to red with how the last shot was focused to his sword... I felt bamboozled |
| FINALLY. An MC that doesn't put up with the usual angry, loud & brash Bakugou-character's bullshit. I'm starting to like Tanjirou quite a lot now--seems like the writer can make him be very emotional (as so many shonen MC's are now) but also still strong and independent, and able to think on and stand up to shit on his own two feet. It actually feels like this MC has discernible thought going through his head, which is nice. Also gonna predict that the girl survivor/new-demon slayer is the strongest, since she had no visible marks or bruises on her like the others and all. Also, it's always the mysterious silent ones... That or the annoying dude protected her, as I think I recall seeing them together in the OP or trailer or something. Could be siblings as well, and maybe the show could give us some interesting parallels. |

| hopefully we get to see more of the trial survivors later on, though the guy who was desperate for a demon sword was annoying, oh and lmao at the sparrow. the mc being welcomed back was nice and warm. |

No I really don't, thank you. Why would I want to be spoiled. |

| Blonde kid getting a sparrow is random af lol A pretty convenient time to wake up... Reunion scene was still nice :) |
 |
| This such a treat for my eyes to see. Amazing episode as usual, the reunion scene was sad and Urokodaki shedding a tear made it even better. Talking crow was hilarious |
| It’s sad we didn’t get to see more of the Selection insight. Would be cool to observe other guys fighting too, but I guess we’ll still see them in action later on. Also, according to what other people are saying here, 5th survivor is not there but s/he also exists, as the guy with the crow has said. A built-up for some plot twist? Sister is back, that’s good, I’m glad to know she is ok. Also, black sword? Really? It’s kinda dissapointing to see such a typical decision. I knew it won’t be red, but expected it to be blue to match his attack animations. But no, I guess black is just more cool. I wonder if the sparrow guy will get a yellow one, lol. |

| This episode had a melancholy feel to it. Also I knew that the sword will turn black. |

| Production wise it is a masterpiece, but it's time for the story get better. Nothing so far was interesting enough for me at least get curious of what's going to happen |

saengdao said: and as i figured, angry sword boy is of course, bakugou's voice actor. As soon as he spoke I was checking the voice credits because I was certain it was Bakugou lol thiago52192 said: Production wise it is a masterpiece, but it's time for the story get better. Nothing so far was interesting enough for me at least get curious of what's going to happen agreed; the first episode really grabbed me but rn the story's pacing feels a bit off. I still have faith because the premise is great and ufotable's production quality is worth watching anyways. |

| While everyone one else gets their respective crows, the poor blond dude gets a sparrow instead. That made me laugh. XD This was a pretty good episode overall. The demon's flashback was a bit unexpected, but it did make me feel some sympathy for him. Still, id doesn't excuse him for what he's done so thank goodness Tanjiro's slice on the demon's head was enough to kill it. He still paid respect for the demon, though. Even though there were 5 people that passed, only four were present at the end. My guess is the boar guy from the OP, but I think we'll know the answer to that sooner or later. The reunion scene with Tanjiro, Nezuko and Urokodaki was nice and now that Tanjiro has got his new sword, his first assignment, told to him by his talking crow, has been set. I'm hoping his first assignment is a successful one. =) |
Raizel said: The art is still pretty solid I'm actually surprised despite Ufotable being in a huge debt lately. looking forward to next episode 3/5 bledsoe60 said: its probably the masked guy in the OP.There were only four there, but the guy with the raven said that as many as 5 had survived, so I'm assuming that little discrepancy will become very important later oh! i thought that agressive dude would become that masked guy :p or his hair will grow longer and then he could be the one who's depicted in that house in the OP |
 |
| Damn. Ufotable is on it with this anime,, this is how they should respond after the accusations on them. Nevertheless, "as much as five survived" is a real cliffhanger, I wanna know the fifth. This episode was absolutely enjoyable. Cant wait for next week. |
 |
| 4 survived but the guy which looks like the head or something of Demon Slayers, says that its 5, I wonder what happened to the 5th guy. Emotional reunion. Nezuko kicking doors lol, she's just so adorable. Urodaki felt glad that finally a disciple of him survived and came back. Looking forward to see what the blade color depicts. Next up Tanjirou's first assignment! |

| Very good episode, the fighting is outstanding. The main character got the sword that want the violent lol Five survive, it was tought. I like it very much when they got a Hidden/Secret character, that in most case is very strong and comes in the last moment to save the day. Miss anime that have secret chartacters, sad they don't use them anymore, like Ikki in SaintSeiya. |
 |
| Nezuko finalle woke up and first demon assignment next week cant't wait |
 |
| Was expecting a better fight against the big oni but oh well seems like tanjiro got really strong That Guy with the scar in his face is annoying lol Eager to see Tanjiro with his New sword |

| The music in this show is just enchantingly beautiful. I have to get this O.S.T but the episode was solid for sure, continuing to enjoy this season. |
| I love Tanjiro so much |
 |
| Seeing Nezuko back and lively again makes my day, and Tanjirou is walking the path to Demon Slaying and a step closer to finding a cure to his sister! Great Episode Overall!

Once again Ufotable is doing justice and even more to the manga. They extended Pile O’ Hands’s backstory, I truly appreciated that. And that sad OST, damn This was a very emotional episode from beginning to end, got goosebumps several times. Zenitsu’s so cute tho, can’t wait to see him in action. The ending was HYPE! Tanjirou’s first assignment as a Demon Hunter is here!  is inosuke, the boar boy |
| Damn, great episode, it is becoming even better! So, if 5 were alive, i wonder were is the 5th, obvious its not easy to become a Demon Slayer, proud of Tanjitrou, for sure! The girl who have passed was pretty cute and beautiful, i looking forward to see more of her! Tanjirou reunion with Nezuko and Urokodaki was so touching, especially Nazuko's welcome hug on Tanjirou, was so damn cute! So he got a black sword, dont know if it have a meaning, and her first mission aswell, hyped for enxt episode! |

adamhuarts said: +1Kamiyan3991 said: How so? I'd just cut out that part with dying demon who went full emo. That's not how you set up a drama moment. I couldn't care less honestly. 2 mins. of wonky flashback is actually enough for you to care about it? Guess people these days have some weird concept of "good storytelling". They didn't even introduce this character. At all. 2.5/5 for the episode. Someone seems salty. For real man, some people just deny themselves what can be a good thing but willingly choose to be miserable and pull people down with them. It was well executed and that little snippet of the morphed demon backstory wasn't overdone but rather inserted nicely while he was dying. His multiple hands represented his subconscious desire to hold his brother's hand was beautiful. |
