That whole 40+ minutes was so satisfying. I am glad Demon Slayer is back! I gave it episode 1 a straight 10/10 cause I missed this show so much.

Tanjirou's father sure had quite the important life before forming a family, huh? So... Solar Breathing, huh?

Pretty nice start as expected. We found out the reason as for why Akaza was wandering around that night and we also got to know a bit more of this season's Hashira. Still wondering what kind of "plan" involves taking a little girl to a brothel tho.

Didn't they say that it will be an hour long episode? Shit was 46 mins long. That's a big difference.

One hour long for Japanese TV (commercials included). Why do you think there were so many transition panels in between?

It was an okay-ish episode, it's a setup episode after all and like always, I don't enjoy the comedy that much in this anime but it was bearable since Zenitsu wasn't screaming 24/7 here.

That new flamboyant Hashira lost a point on me since he dropped that little girl (-1) but I did like that flamboyant ass-spanking though (+1) so he's back at 0.

Let's see how this season will hold up.

3/5 episode for me.

-spoilers (ep 1 & mugen)-

It had really nice flow for an episode an hour long, it didn't really get that boring. The animation has definitely improved from the first season! Something I was worried about as the series got increasingly popular is that it would discard it's slightly comedic tone. I'm really happy that it hasn't lost that effect, as it was something I noticed in Mugen train. I think it's really impactful to dedicate the episode to how everyone is dealing with the hashiras death. It's pretty disappointing when some shows skim over those parts like it isn't all that impactful. I think all of the main cast's ways of grieving are true to their character, and you can tell the writers have a deep understanding of the characters. Zenitsu I've noticed has been through probably the most amount of character development out of everyone, which is someone i have been looking forward to see when I first started the show (I still can't imagine a ripped Zenitsu though). I have high hopes for the next episodes and am really excited to watch the rest!

Also, Uzui isn't into little kids or anything. In the manga the spank was a lot less creepy because he was flipping out and spanked Aoi to basically insinuate that he'd punish them if they misbehaved. In the anime, he was completely straight faced and calm when he did it so it felt really sus. It was just poorly executed in the anime.

Great first episode.

The animation was great as expected. It followed the manga with some extra scenes. Kid Muzan was the highlight.

Why tf did they make Uzui spank Aoi? It wasn't in the manga. Made his image bad for the anime watchers.

OP slaps but has a major spoiler scene :/

Can't wait for more!


He actually did spank her in the manga lol, don’t know why he did. I know he did because I just finished reading it and was wondering out loud when I was watching it they were going to include it 🤣

Love the 1st episode. I do have one queries that how Tanjiro was able to run crazily when he still has his wounded stomach! Rengoku father was being very harsher on his deceased son but he was just acting tough concealing his Suffering. Rengoku brother was still mourning the passing of his brother and had to go through his father bickering on his brother. He seems finally to be waken off from that with the help of Tanjiro. Also Tanjiro did great by carrying the message even with how injured he was. Child Mugen not too bad!!


New Hashira and the new mission, gang is back in the missions accompanying main hashira of this series. One swat spanking was funny with that "kya". Overall this episode was mixed off grief and hilarious because it started with the aftermath of tragic death of Rengoku and ended with laughter.

Can't wait for the next episode.

I might be mistaken, but I remember Ufotable marketing this as 1 hour long, so, about the 15 minutes remaining, was there a special program alongside the episode with maybe the voice actors or something like that? Maybe a live performances by Aimer? Or just the episode?

Muzan is such a dumb antagonist lol, had to roll my eyes at his edgy over the top reactions. I also see the comedy is as shit as ever, though I could say the same about the animation. Incredible to look at.

What a start and also what a surprise, because I didn't knew we would get such a long episode for the second seasons intro. Ofc they had to show Rengokus last seconds again, to crush my heart for the third time ;_;

Muzan as unsatisfied and creepy as usual. It's crazy if you see a monster like Akazas just shaking and being unable to move in front of him. But damn, Tanjiros sword got obliterated by Akaza. Next time they'll meet will definitely be suspense- and emotion-packed.

I felt bad for Senjuro and I still don't get what happened to his and Rengokus father? What let him become the person he's now, who obviously gave up in life? From his reaction when Senjuro told him about Rengokus last words, you can tell he's not a bad person at all, but was seemingly unable to show emotions in front of his kids for way too long. I hope the meeting with Tanjiro and Rengokus last words were able to wake him up.
At least we got an very interesting information about "sun breathing", what seems to be the origin of all breathing techniques? It's sad that so many pages of the Hashira chronicles got ripped out, but maybe if Senjuro is able to reconstruct them, Tanjiro will be able to learn more about sun breathing and his Higokami Kagura. I'm very glad Tanjiro and Senjuro met each other. Being able to talk to someone about something so tragic, should at least have lighten their hearts by a bit.

The scene with Haganezuka was absolute hilarious. I mean just from the first season we know how much he hates it, if something bad happens to one of his forged swords :D

We also made a jump forward, 4 months after Rengokus death, where Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke trained non stop.

We also got introduced to the next hashira. Uzui definitely is different compared to Rengoku, no doubt about that, but he also seems to be a very honest and responsible person. Just from the scene where he tried to take Aoi with him on a mission and Tanjuro, Zenitsu and Inosuke were able to persuade him to take them instead, I'm sure the entertainment district will be a lot of fun. Nice slap btw Uzui ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Animation, art, sound and voice acting were superb and I absolutely loved the OP which played at the end. I'm very excited to see what will happen in this arc. Looking forward to the next episode :)

Since this first episode unexpectedly 46 mins long, i can't help myself but turning my reply to 46 mins long essay too. Hope you all don't pay attention much to those....

Ah, right, the second season started off with how they want me to remember again how damaged that mugen train event to your feeling. Akaza couldn't find the blue spider lily, and get resulted by the anger of kid Muzan. Akaza must be regrets what he done previously xd.

Back to the cutie corps, idk why the scenes with them always give me a smile, because the next part kinda annoying with how Rengoku father act around them. Idc about his late sadness, because its really doesn't matter. Sad that there's no clear clue regarding of Tanjirou 'another' power, which kinda irritating because the whole point of the mugen train arc is suppose to gain that information.

Oh well, thats fine. Glad that the cutie corps back to cheer me again through my screen. But, after that, wtf, one shady man appeared and trying to kidnapping those girls? I know whats their role will be when hanging around those big man, because the next arc is literally the Entertainment District Arc. But, damn, never expect him to bring those cute girl out (whoever her name was xd).

At the end, ofc Tanjirou and the gang offered themselves to change those girl place. As the result? You can see how Zenitsu change much on the opening. Lmao. Oh yeah, looks like this can be an entertaining arc, despite the fact that there's a nasty demon lurking around, expect to see another wholesome animation again flexing by ufofable.

Sigh. Alright. Really looking forward to see the next....

Tengen Uzui reminds me of the great Kamina. Enough to make me interested in the next chapter of this show.

Very lackluster episode, but I always enjoy the company of the ladies of Butterfly Mansion. I hope Tengen shows some hot-blooded moves next week.

no real problems with the new season so far
aside from the strange way of delivering exposition in that scene with the flame hashira's dad.
Everyone in DS is mental in some way, and since it's consistent you'd have to be a realism elitist to claim that is a flaw on the show - more of a stylistic thing.

some glorious animation moments even in the first episode. Good to see the show is keeping in form. Nothing that's really blown my mind just yet but I'm sure it'll get more interesting as the arc progresses.

Hoping for not too much fanservice tho. Not just personal taste but because I don't think the moral complexities of prostitution really suit the more straightforward adventurous tone of Demon Slayer, and it would degrade Tanjiro's innocence to some extent.
But I haven't read the manga so who knows maybe it'll work

Why didn't Kyojiro father telling his son about the sun breathing? Guess he really jealous of the sun breathing wielder huh?

That kid at the beginning... 'who is that kid?' then, ohhh, I see.
Uzui spanking a kid butt kinda made him look like a pervert pedo... Dislike him doing that.

Listening to the OP song, I think it's not as good as before, but maybe i change my mind after listening to it again and again later.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Demon Slayer S2 started off with a double-length first episode, which was great. I no some people here weren't happy with the small recap of the Infinity Train segment, but not everyone watched the T.V version prior to this, so the recap was kind of needed overall.

Either way, this episode dealt with the aftermath of the movie when Tanjiro went off to visit the house of Rengoku to see his father, Shinjiro, and younger brother, Senjuro. It got very tense between Tanjiro and Shinjiro, but at least everyone got some closure here. Seeing Shinjiro breaking down crying after Senjuro told Rengoku's last message to him was really sad. =(

Tengen Uzui is an interesting guy, huh? I burst out laughing when he spanked Aoi's butt, but at least he listened to Tanjiro's demands and with him, Inosuke and Zenitsu, they're off to the entertainment district.

Speaking of which, the OP song from Aimer was a banger, coupled with lovely sakuga animation to boot. I highly look forward to seeing how this arc unfolds. ^_^

Finally, the second season of Demon Slayer is live, Continuing off from Rengoku's death deeply a sad fate for his life to end in that way but that's how it is, So Kyoujurou's father knows where Tanjiro originated that's going to be useful if he does share info which I doubt

I do wonder how and why did he came to this form of his like I need to know, I thought he would feel all enraged even if Kyoujurou died but in the end, he still felt sorry that his son died felt a bit relieved there myself

After months they trained harder for a brighter future and Tanjiro came back a lot of shit happened and this random buffed guy appeared and tries to snatch those two girls honestly the whole scene was hilarious and why the butt slap is that necessary, Well this is a great introduction to the Entertainment District, God Damn that OP sounds so good.

Great start! Tanjiro could have head-butted Rengoku's dad even harder! It was hard to hear the father constantly insulting his deceased son :( and poor Senjuro didn't deserve to be treated that way.
Uzui is very flamboyant and I couldn't believe my eyes when he slapped Aoi's butt xD Inosuke is not amused lol. Can't wait what I'll discover next week for this new arc :D

Great episode to start the actual first episode of the season. I'm very interested to find out what the deal is with Rengoku's father. We see he's a huge asshole but he know he's a former Hashira, plus the scene where he cried after hearing Rengoku's message.

On an unrelated note, I love how Tanjiro can switch from totally serious to total goofball in seconds.
