The Demon Corps organization sending an injured member to go slay another demon while he's in that condition seems really irresponsible.

Tanjirou should wait before he is fully healed before running off to kill more demons. Like common sense, if you're injured wait until you heal. After all you can't help anyone if you're dead. Seems ridiculous.

Also new characters are interesting to see. Can wait to see what's the deal with them. Although Zenitsu is kinda annoying. I get that he's that way for comedy sake, but I think they could have toned it down just a bit.

LMAO I think I'm the minority but I fucking love Pikachu, he's so precious

And boar dude showed up too! I wonder if he's gonna have have a keen sense of...sight? Since Tanjirou has a good nose and Pikachu has good ears I think

Man, I love designs of the enemy demons in this anime... ;-)

Zenitsu is a funny guy, his bird (lil' sparrow) was on the other hand very cute. ;p

I'm wondering who was that guy with boar mask on his face. He seemed to be rather powerful, at least he looked like that.

Zenistu is absolute trash so far, don't know how anyone can find him tolerable in this episode, I imagine this was less annoying in manga form without the screaming voice actor and repeating comedy music.

The demon's gimmick was awesome and can't wait to see the boar in action, those two things saved the episode.

I mean the initial scene about the marriage was kinda funny. Everything else just felt like they put it on way too thick and it just detracts from the show. Everytime he was on screen after that I was just shaking my head and wondering to myself if they are really going to ruin a pretty good series with this shtick.

Luckily this anime is not ruined (yet...) with that annoying fucking trash character because this anime has plenty of other good things to look up for. Zenitsu is definitely degrading the anime for people like us and that shitty forced comedy appears in all the upcoming episode now because Zenitsu is a main character unfortunately but the anime is still pretty enjoyable so far.

For people like us, the anime is at it's best when Zenitsu doesn't appear on screen but once he appears it gets pretty shitty.

This show is incredibly good in many ways, and yet it other ways it's so dumb. The two kids that Tanjirou meet outside the drum house are there to look for their beloved stolen brother, terrified and longing for him. The brother comes out of the house, Tanjirou runs up to him, and is immediately so emotionally invested - two whole minutes after meeting the kids for the first time - that he embraces the obviously dying brother like he was his own kin. The two siblings are standing right next to them and yet, Tanjirou is the one sitting with the brother. Why aren't the siblings the ones who get to hug their dying brother, the person they came looking for? Why is Tanjirou the last person the brother gets to see before he slips away, why is he the last person he will ever speak to in his life? The kids are RIGHT THERE. One argument could be that Tanjirou was shielding them from the shock, but that doesn't hold up imo, they are already shocked, and not getting to say goodbye would only leave them with worse emotional scars, right? Oh, but wait, it's not their brother after all. Oh well, no harm done. We will bury you later, dude. Clap hands, k bye.

Then overly caring nice guy Tanjirou leaves the box containing his sister with the kids to offer them protection. It's just that it's daytime, and the sun is out. If they open the box, Nezuko will die in a second. "It's more precious to me than my own life!". And yet, you leave it with two completely shocked, unaccountable kids who you don't know at all. Sure!

Don't kill me, manga readers. I like the show overall, otherwise I wouldn't have kept on watching it, it's just things like this that bother me because it defies logic and common sense and it pulls you out of the fantasy world.

Zenitsu is overkill and not at all funny, but I look forward to see other sides of his character, hoping he will become more likeable. The demon's powers are very interesting, I love the concept of a creepy, magical trap house where the environment is controlled in different ways by different drums. It makes you curious. The animation is great as always. Boar guy could be cool.

Holy fuck, Zenitsu is absolute cancer. Worst character introduction ever. Wasn't even comedic, just cringey and annoying.
He actually makes Asta in Black Clovers first episode seem less annoying.


I don't think it is meant to be comedy. I think he is meant to be annoying.

Never read the manga but kind of expecting him to have a split personality like cavendish in one piece.

Annoying and weak one side and brutal and strong on the other.

Wow, I heard Zenitsu was bad but I didn't think it was that bad. Constant whining and complaining and it is never ending. Also I'm pretty sure he contradicted himself by wishing he could die at the Demon Exams but then afterward not want to die from a demon's hands (like what is the difference). Either way, worst character by a long shot and I honestly don't really care for any character growth for this character as he is already rock-bottom when it comes to character personalities so the only way to go is up. But yeah he's not funny unless you find cancer funny.

The only funny scene with him was when Tanjiro was looking at him with utter disgust, as that was legit the face I was making when he was introduced lmao.

A few more episodes and the best part of the season begins, from episode 15

But if you're not enjoying it at all, then don't force yourself to watching it

Something tells me you're going to have a lot of fun with that character because characters that screams all the time are the most enjoyable to watch, am I right? I mean, who doesn't enjoy screaming characters?

The director probably had good intentions making him scream all the time, he probably thought the audience were deaf or something, he has a good heart, we don't deserve his kindness, the downside for that though is that some audiences will lose a couple of neurons while watching a character screaming and acting like a retard every time he appears on screen.

Don't worry though, in the last 2 episodes he won't be that annoying, just hang in there pal.

Wow that went from more calm characters to a total freak lol. In every single moment he's totally overreacting. No wonder that girl at the beginning was so scared of him. I loved Tanjirous face expressions. He was so disgusted, especially by the fact that Zenitsu also being a demon slayer.

I wonder how he made it this far. I guess it's true what the sparrow said about him, being lazy and only going after girls is true.

The scene when that guy came out of the window overflowed with blood was brutal. These poor kids it must be trauma to see that. I don't think their brother survived. Even the little kid was disgusted by Zenitsu :D

So the other main character with the boar head also got introduced even if it was just for a short moment. He also doesn't seem to be normal. I guess it will be interesting to see the whole interaction of Tanjirou, him, Zenitsu and Nezuko.

Why on earth a show that is trying to be remotely dark and serious introduces a completely out of place "comedy" character who is not even funny.

I don't care how secretly amazing Zenitsu is cause 95% of the time he is an annoying eyesore and unless he stops whining in next couple episode he will make me hate the show. So unnecessary.

Goddamned Zenitsu really fuckin annoying af. He even don't bother ranting like that, holy shit that guy, really fuckin hilarious. Oh, that boar masked guy had an appearance too. Quite a hectic episode, and more amusing, the comedic part much out of place, but still okay to me. Lets see how brutal the battle between those shit in the next episode

Zenitsu's a lot more obnoxious than I expected but it's something I can get used to eventually, I hope. With that boar guy entering the mix, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that the humans were a lot wilder than the demons in this episode.

...And this is when this anime goes downhill (not that it was perfect until now but at least it was watchable)

Let's forget Zenitsu being annoying for a second and focus on what else happened in this episode.

So Tanjirou's leg is broken but he can walk just fine. Also a character fatally falls from above and the writers are like "you know what? let's include some comedy here".

Worst episode till now.
I wanna keep watching until ep 19 (since it's the highest rated episode) but I don't know if I'll have patience to watch more screaming and dumb comedy.

Yeah the anime did indeed went downhill for me too once that bitchy Zenitsu came into the picture and his totally unnecessary screaming and forced comedy are just ear rapes and pure cringe for me, definitely one of the worst characters I have watched in an anime and you will have to endure that idiot for the rest of the episodes now, he only got better in the last 2 episodes for me and that's only because he wasn't screaming that much and was acting less like an idiot.

Yeah, Tanjirou walking just fine with a broken leg or broken bones or whatever is indeed weird, this one is an issue but fortunately I let this one pass by inventing excuses and convincing myself that maybe he fixed the pain with some off-screen breathing technique or something, still, it is an issue.

The anime is still decent, it just went downhill with Zenitsu for plenty of people and plenty of others stopped watching it because of him but it's still a decent anime IMHO.

BTW, episode 19 is indeed a nice episode but I believe it's overrated out of proportions, IMHO it's definitely the best episode from this anime but don't let the rating fool you, if there's one thing that I've learned from MAL is that you can't trust the ratings here, it's all subjective after all.

zenitsu was funny and the voice work was great......when he's not screaming....it's the screaming for me, it's way too much!

really appreciated this scene, simple bonding scene & once again shows how kind tanjirou is c: they are just kids after all


so kirito appears with his double-wielding sword skill even here lolololll wew i've been waiting for this character to appear!

i agree with many that the humour was really off at times. i wish they had cut back on it. loved it when that little boy roasted zenitsu - i think he seemed pretty suitable to be a demon slayer too xD







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
