That looked pretty incredible. The new breathing style kinda felt like it was just pulled out of his ass for convenience but whatever. Now we have the problem where every 12 beyond this has to be even more powerful till it reaches a ridiculous point. I mean with this new breathing every other demon should be cut like butter. He just needs to practice with it a bit. I certainly wouldn't have had our protag be strong enough to take out the "super elite 12" so early on. Nezuko unlocking a blood art was pretty cool tho.


I didn't read the manga but I feel like Tanjiro always knew the fire style and it's a family thing, like that dance ritual his father did, but he didn't realize that until know.. It sounds a bit convenient, I know, but I kinda like it tbh.

This episode was incredible!

The awsome fight scene with those amazing visual effects and music was so brethbreathtaking.

I considered for a while to change the score to 10/10, but i'll wait for the last episode and than i will decide it.

I mean you see to get over it in Hunter with

seeing it is a favorite of yours.
It is the same here just a convenient solution for the protagonist



Yeah but that happened after the whole Chimera ant arc, which is still one of the best shounen arcs out there, I already experienced over 100 episodes of greatness, in Kimetsu no Yaiba I haven't seen nothing yet, if they hit us with the bullshit so soon, I don't have high hopes for the rest of the show

so every demon has a blood art so why nezuko can't have it,and for being an asspull the new technique must have no explanation and they explained it.


2 freaking ghosts appeared at made them use those 2 techniques. Even Tanjiro is self aware at the end of the episode saying: I wonder why I suddenly remembered that technique at that moment. He's literally admitting to the asspull xD

He actually remembered it because he was almost dying, you know, remember zenitsu saying "i saw my grandfather" and the girl answering saying that you see your life "flash before your eyes" when you are dying.

He was dying - saw his father breathing technic in his memories - used it

it was there, not asspull at all.

Wow, just wow, I have never been amazed by the animation of an anime at this point... Including Shaft and very beautiful description art in series like 3-Gatsu no Lion (although they cannot be really compared...). This cinematic sequence at the end exceeded all previous ones, which were already super high level. Probably the best animation I have seen so far, just thrilling and beautiful. Now I have high hopes for the next Fate movie! ;-)

This really reassures me because I was (as many) also annoyed by the two new characters (shouting or crying is no personality, sorry), plus one slightly boring episode where they recover from injuries. If this continues like this, this show will probably have one of the best animation and art of the year (for shounen at least), easily exceeding the ones of the likes of SnK.

I bet that this show will become the shounen people can be proud to like in public. At this pace haters will be lacking of material!

After the end of episode 18 I was already wondering "can this anime look any better?" And so today episode 19 was released and ... WHAT WAS THAT? All Tanjiro's suffering to kill the oni and fail, and then Nezuko enters the battle and almost becomes mincemeat (I lost count of how many times I widened my eyes and screamed MY GOD). And then the climax of the episode began, when Tanjiro felt like he was going to die and started remembering his father. Man, I never saw a battle in an anime that excited me so much, not to mention the soundtrack that there are no words to describe. Seriously, Kimetsu no Yaiba has become the best anime I've ever seen and it sure is the best of 2019

I can see that, but the problem, even if he remembered that and we agree it's not an asspull, the plot armor remains, he is in the lowest rank of the Demon Slaying Corps, and he fights one of the 12 strongest demons besides the final boss, he gets utterly destroyed, yet he manages to win with the new move. Getting the new move is more or less an asspull, even if we agree it isn't, the fact remains that (as far as we know) a random low ranked demon slayer kills one of the strongest 12 demons in this world. Yeah we can argue that he killed before one demon that was formerly one of those 12, but still, this one was much more powerful. Maybe later on we'll learn that Tanjiro is an alien god like Naruto was and everything will be fine, but so far, all we know is that he has huge plot armor.

I guess this would never end

Fine, you just didn't like this episode, and don't like the anime either, and you're not just looking for attention

But you know this is not something I would call "plot armor"

Kirito has plot armor in SAO, when he dies but actually doesn't, because why not

Here, Nezuko just used the Demon Blood Art, that every demon can do, and Tanjirou used something, that apparently his family has always been able to

I am glad to see Zenitsu getting the antidote that he needed so desperatly. So he's gonna be fine, I just wonder if there has been done any damage to his body by the poison that can't be undone.

Ofcourse the child Spider Demon is one of the Twelve Demon Moon. He's a lot tougher than he looks. Seeing Nezuko hanging there with those threads around her, it made me worry. But with all bad things, comes good things, Nezuko finally shows us her Blood Demon Art, that was so cool! You can never get between the bond of siblings. Something the Spider boy didn't understand one bit at all.

But man, this episode... THIS FUCKING EPISODE WAS LIT. The animation was off the damn charts, Ufotable outdone themselves if you ask me. The soundtrack as well, was beautifull, very nice fit for a deciding battle soundtrack.

The whole Ending sequence was so great I am lost for words, like the words I have already given can't do the episode justice.. So beautifull yet so thrilling, you're sitting on the edge of your seat. What an ARTISTIC MASTERPIECE!

Oof. My man's playing with fire, this anime has reached another level of litness... I like characters whose attribute is fire, so when he had water, I was like "fair enough " -only 'cause of how the water looked like traditional paintings. But now. Now, that was orgasmic, the water becoming almost molten in a way.
But the sudden power. Big no no.

Manga recently has got alot better, but early part you have to bare with crappy artwork and combat.

It doesn't even come remotely close to UFO's production value and detail/ storyboard/ paneling/ artwork.

... It seems like Tanjiro doesn't win yet because spiders seem to work fine after beheaded. ...


(Quoted only the part i need from the full reply at page 1)

Tho you forget that only ways to kill a demon in this show is either with demon slayer sword/skills thru sword or sun, and demons cannot kill other demons (only the boss demon guy can kill his "kids" ... the guy Tanjiro is searching). So yeah ofc the spider demon brat could behead his sister and to not kill his sister at the same time, cause they are both demons but here we are seeing Tanjiro using his special upgraded skill to behead the demon brat, so we'll just see if it will work or not.

It looked so epic tho that i believe that it worked, Tanjiro killed the brat. It's another question that how long does the kid have time to blabber with a body apart from his head. For now we have seen regular demons get kinda long period of time to tell how they feel and what they think, so maybe twelve kizuki member (aka a stronger demon) can hold on longer?
+ Then the Tanjiro older (the guy who bondaged Inosuke to the tree and killed the daddy spider) could propably come and see/witness how Tanjiro junior won the member of the twelve kizuki or something like that and Tanjiro jr would become a champ horray
