| I thought the pillars would all be very serious since they are the highest ranked slayers but... they (I liked this element though) fell into the sort of clichés from groups. Such as the guy who always shout out loud, the sort of dark darky minded-haired buddy standing in the back, the retarded one who seems lost... in the mist (lul), the girly-girly girl, the full-aggression / war dude etc. Actually it was really funnier than I thought it would be. And Mitsuri Kanori the Pillar of love really got me there eh. |

| So my beliefs have been confirmed, everything about the Demon Corps is stupid. I'm just here for the gorgeous visuals and occasional funny moments. |
| poop |
| Honeslty the episode felt like 5 mins for me, amazing as always |
 |
| Amazing! Really good episode! But why do they need to end it with such a cliffhanger again?! Well, so far nothing special has happened in the next episode when they end one with a big cliffhanger, so Nezuko will probably just run to Tanjiro despite the sun, ignoring that dude, or she just punches him, and that's all, so we don't need to expect anything extreme(just my guess though) OR: the most simple answer: Tanjiro says "don't", hen Nezuko just doesn't do anything, as she does everything he says without thinking :D BTW I already like the girl with the colorful hair and clothes :D I like how she admires and loves everyone :D |

| Wait... DID SAITAMA WAKE UP TANJIRO!? It really hit me hard seeing Nezuko being stabbed numerous times while she actually was forced to just endure it (because of the sun and the "do not hurt humans") TwT Hope next episode is filled with Nezuko cuteness and showing proof she's the best imouto ever |
 |
| I really don't like the pillars, I know they should be wary about demons and all that, but for fucks sake they don't even listen to a single shit the leader says (I also found weird that he knew all along and allowed Tanjiro to travel with Nezuko but NEVER told anyone about it) The only one of them that is redeemable is Giyuu who is the only one who isn't one-dimensional about this situation. |

| Man fuck these pillars. Was the goal of this episode to make me hate all the new characters they just introduced? because it's working, almost all of them piss me off. |
| Man I'm seriously loving the character designs of the pilars! Their personalities are a bit forced but it's okay, it's anime after all, loved this episode! |
adams215 said: The pace has slowed down as expected and we get almost all exposition for this episode. Unfortunately much of this expositions is repeated statements about breaking rules, killing Tanjiro and Nezuko, and introductions of characters that honestly aren't that interesting so far. I don't mind slower paced dialogue heavy episodes in action series, but when the dialogue is lacking meaningful content I gotta say I get a bit let down. But this is a build up episode so I won't say it is bad because it is necessary. Now, I will say the Hashiras are, so far, boring characters in my opinion. I don't even mind that they are dead set on killing Nezuko. That's what I'd expect from the most devout of demon slayers. But it's the classic anime trope of "let's give this group of characters really obnoxious quirks so the viewer can easily remember them". So hopefully their characters are more than just obnoxious quirks (because some anime do leave their characters to just be obnoxious quirks) and we get to learn more about them so they won't stay boring characters. Same, the forced quirks are a tad cringy, what I'm most excited about is seeing the way they fight, they look pretty strong, but I don't think we will be seeing it this season unfortunately |
| Man I been waiting so long to see this get animated and it was everything I wanted, finally got to see best girl Kanroji. I didn’t realise how much an asshole Rengoku was at first whilst reading the chapter, in general they all seem opposed to reasoning and allow their preconceived notion of demons to dictate their actions instead of actually listening. Hate can be a dehabilitating thing Only 4 episodes to go so looks like it’ll end at the start of train? Season 2 coming soon |
 |
| I'm up to date with the manga, but I still don't like most of those pillars... I mean, they are powerful, have sad backsories, but still they shouldn't be insubordinate as they are, they are very bad leaders too... no wonder swordsmen die left and right with such a horrendous leadership. |
| Fuck that cliffhanger again |
 |
| lol just realize for the fans of him: zenitsu will be back in full force in 1 or 2 eps :))))) |
The spider is watching |
| Damn thos Hashiras trying to kill poor Nezuko. Also a trial infront of Nezuko , I hope she can manage to repel her demon urge and nthng troubling happens. |
 |
| The cliffhanger... seriously, what would you expect, guys? I didn't read the manga, but the outcome will be predictable. |
| Please consider reading my novel for MAL x Honeyfeed Writing contest 2023 https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/12252 |
| Nice introduction of the Pillars Also Gilgamesh VA for Sanemi. |
 |
| ?$!#@%$ these frikking cliff-hangers are getting reaaaaally annoying |
PaPaJojie said: I see eps 22 and the drop the anime uwu Hmm 1/10 Why did you even watch at all so far? |
|
| Very intense episode, I already like the Hashiras as well as their voice actors. How am I supposed to wait one more week? |
  Reach for the Stars☆ |
| The first episode I disliked. Hashira equals human filth, they put the demons in a better light. I needed to vent, my opinion, my problem. |
Have suspicions, not faith. |
| My first impression of the pillars : Hate em I understand the part of upholding their duty but they need to really get a grip of the magnitude of the people vouching for Nezuko. It's not enough for them to understand that a retired slayer, a colleague and even their Master were telling them to reconsider Nezuko fate. They put their honor, reputation and even their lives (minus master) if ever Nezuko harms a human. Their one dimensional disposition inspite of the testimony and willingness to accept responsibility has already made me not liking them going forward. I'm gonna give them one more episode to see if anyone of them would change their minds after they have more time to be around Nezuko. Lets see if Nezuko can break the pillar's preconceived beliefs about her and demons. BTW : The rainbow colored slayer is so fickle she acts like a nympho that probably won't say no to anyone that catches her admiration. First time seeing a Thot that's actually a slayer. |

Quoted for truth. They also came across as having the intelligence and emotional maturity of a five year old. Thank the heavens the Master showed up to talk some sense into them. The Wind dude I hope gets eaten by demons at some point. Preferably slowly. Or gets headbutted by Tanjiro a million times more. |

| Every Hashira's seiyuu is doing their job very well, plus point for Rengoku and Gyomei |
| what a joke of an episode...all of those hashiras are lame. how is it acceptable that that retard just keeps stabbing Nezuko after his master told him that she is to be respected by them? if he doesn't get a punishment for that i'm dropping the score from 10 to a 7 or some shit <.< |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |

|
| First off: Holy shit,the ensemble of high caliber seiyuu that voice the Pillars is just insane. Loved them already in the manga and I fell in love all over again. Admittedly, besides their eccentricity we haven't seen much of them yet, but to those that seem concerned regarding their rightouesness. I can assure you that all of them are awesome individuals. |

| I can't wait for the next week I 'am gonna have to go to the manga source. I really undertand the pillars thoughts but they shouldn't be that pryde and stubborn due to there are exceptions by all stuff's in life, and about the demons could it be the same in this case. |
-¡Give yourself to me! |
| so these hashiras have seen their family,friends,fellow demon hunters constantly killed by demons and they have to accept nezuko in 1 second with the words of a 15 years old that they encountered for the first time right now yeah,of course they are skeptical about her,them accepting her instantly is dumb af. |

|
| So the introduction of the Hashiras. Some of them have interesting designs and VA's... Especially the Wind and Love Hashiras.. Also some of the Hashiras, including the wind one, deserves so much more than a headbutt from Tanjiro. They seem like complete assholes! Poor Nezuko :( I wonder what she'll do next week.. that cliffhanger... |
 |
| @Nanashi796 @-Aincrad- You know what I'm not getting, what about those two good demons from Tanjiro's first mission? Nezuko isn't the first demon who doesn't attack humans. What about their opinions? They examined Nezuko and confirmed her to be one of the most rare demons ever and that she's not a threat to humans, what's their link to the Demon Corps? How do these people so high up in the ranks have such a bad understanding that they can't even discern between bad and good demons, and why do they only hear about her now when her existence has been known for 2 years? Also there's a difference between not accepting her and being this hostile. She's literally in a box not doing anything. If this all get explained just say so but you don't have to spoil |

If Tanjiro was the only guy speaking on behalf of Nezuko then that would be a different story. The episode has established that the pillars don't respect the chain of command and brashly do what they want. It didn't matter to them that there are actually people literally putting their honor, reputation and lives on the line and that doesn't even make them think Hmmm... maybe there's something to this to make them take an oath of sepuku. but no they have to be one dimontional in their approach and act foolish. |

| with the current pace, I guess the anime will stop at the end of chapter 53 sadly the next arc is the real start of the story where the action and characters start to develop |

| @Nanashi796 I see, they'll accept her anyway so whatever. This encounter was just too strange imo. I also think the leader already knew a while ago |
| poop |
| I wonder what are backstories of these guys. |
| Worst episode so far, didn't liked most of introduced Hashiras, especially that white haired douche, i so hope he is gonna die. |
| so... when do we get to the part about all the Hashira dying? Cause I personally would love them to be dead. Maybe except for the Pink hair girl and Tomioka, since they're the only ones that isn't purely bias against Demons. Fuck, this episode gave me a bad taste... the previous episodes were so good too... I'll give this episode a 2/10. ___ ___ ___ Even that "master" is stupid... He didn't stop anyone constantly attacking Tanjiro and Nezuko and just let it happen... This is just stupid... at this point, Kibutsuji seemed "nicer" than them... ___ ___ ___ If next episode they're still attacking Tanjiro and Nezuko, I am dropping this series, it's dumb. |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| I can't decide who's worse: the demons or the Hashiras |
 |
| So we get Naruto rejects who seem to be as bad a demons themselves. That said this episode didn't hold back, it certainly doesn't feel like we are anywhere near the end. |
| the best part is when sanemi cut to Nesuko |
