The animation in the beginning literally blew my mind. It was SO GOOD. I think I've never seen anything as well animated as the opening scene for this arc
ding dong ur wrong

The quality of animation is as expected out of this world, and Ufotable is making it everyone's business, as they should. Eye-catching, the first episode for sure was worth the wait. And as a huge Man with a Mission music fan, I'm more than up on cloud nine about the hype opening, such a great choice!

Fun episode for the most part, like last season this one was basically all setup for the upcoming arc. I have to say though, I'm a bit disappointed by the Upper Moon meeting scene - did anyone else feel like there were just too many special effects? SO many CGI cutaways to abstract imagery and flashing colours, felt like the anime was trying a bit too hard and ended up actually including the kind of footage and effects that I'd prefer to see exclusively in AMVs every time Muzan twitched an eyebrow. I get that he's scary, but the Lower Moon meeting and execution certainly didn't need this much flashiness to be an iconic and very popular scene.

A great start for Kimetsu no Yaiba new season with a 50min first episode which is nothing less than a pleasure to watch

The animation is simply on point and the results are stunning, especially in the very first sequence - the Upper Moons meeting inside the Infinity Castle: The CGI sceneries are curated in the smallest details; Akaza's movements, the camera angles (especially the close-ups on the demons' eyes), and the reverb of the images during those close-ups, the upside down shots of Muzan, all along with the dramatic soundtrack, give us that cinematic rendition which you make the most of only if you have watched the episode on the big screen   (I haven't :( ). Just this sequence itself was worth the rewatch. 

After the intense start, we get a light-hearted breather as we see what everyone is up to after the Entertainment District battle, and the reunion with all our best boys and girls is always a sweet and funny one. Off to the Swordsmith Village (here, again, the scenery of the village in the mountains is quite the sight), where Tanjiro meets the ever-lovely Mitsuri, and we get an idea of who will be involved in this arc. As always in Kimetsu no Yaiba, the comic parts are perfectly delivered and well balanced with the more serious ones in the economy of the episode.  

The premises are given, the action is set to get a full start. Can't wait!
PS I hear the opening and ending just now: MAN WITH A MISSION & milet are something else.

Huh so this arc might not feature Zenitsu and Inosuke that much. Tanjiro is such a homie he's like yo your tits are flopping about lemme cover you up lmao. Gonna be a meme watching her fight in this arc with the giant boob window. Well guess we gotta kill off the ugly upper demons remaining to leave the jonas brothers as the final boss/bosses. And our number one guy looks like Tanjiro's great grandfather or some shit that's been long since turned into a demon. Suppose he was a demon slayer and was the OP sun breather based on the sword and earrings.

Watching solely to see ufotable's animations of the expected "climax of the season", like in all the previous seasons

God it's already almost unbearable with the bottomtier comedy and awful cringe dialogue

Ufotable CGI was damn good, great work with the cameras

Those Turkish soap opera effects were really unnecessary tho lmfao

First episode of this new KnY season.
This 45-minutes length is a really good format to begin. It seems that it is the second part of the latest recap movie of the last fight of Uzui in 4K quality.

It can be explained all CGI plan especially the first 20 minutes of this ep 1 with gorgeous sequences. Love it with some moons. I am so confused when I see Tanjiro's dream. The transition is perfect. Ufotable makes incredible work.
Let's see now what happens with Tanjiro in this town.

Oh boy, Man with a Mission do this OP feat. Millet. Banger incoming (there will come in Europe for a new tour, so excited).

The animation in this episode was impressive, as expected. I look forward to getting to know Akaza and the rest of the Upper Rank demons, as well as the new Hashiras. Also, I’m always in the mood to see some wholesome Tanjiro + Inosuke friendship interactions. There was one thing, though. Nezuko’s cute and all, but she was acting a little too much like a toddler this episode, or even a pet, considering how Mitsuri was interacting with her as they ate. I get that part of it is to appeal to the audience, but I think this episode went a tad bit overboard with it. Overall, though, can’t wait for episode two!

Amazing first episode with the upper moon meeting scene. Only Douma that actually still look fully human 'design' within the upper moon... Akaza does look human too but his baseball strip on his face ruin it a little....

Alright, Tanjiro and the gang are survive and recovering nicely... These 3 boys should rank up.... hopefully they did rank up after survive the upper moon 6 battle...

What's actually funny in this episode is when Tanjiro casually saying Mitsuri big breast almost spilling out! Just how gentlemen Tanjiro are. Lol.

Special weapon? Is it.... The guy that actually look like the upper moon 1
or something?....

The OP visual look nice but still not sure if... It's actually a fine song..... Or maybe it's the least favorite KNY OP song. Need to listening to it again.

Kimetsu no Yaiba's main target are Japanese citizens. Japanese sense of humor is different to, let's say, the Western one. That's why what might sound cringe and unfunny to you, might not be seen in the same way by the Japanese audience.

The animators really flex their CGI. Also, it looks like the art director/someone in the animation team is really into Indian soap operas. You can see the classic tense scene there.

The cinematography, visuals, animation... I was really amazed to see the upper moon meeting.

Mitsuri is really a sweetheart. She's cute, sweet, strong and her goal in becoming Hashira is to find a husband lol. Can't wait to see her in action!

I really liked the OP.

A really good start, has some nice visual effects too! double length first episode was nice to watch.

Inosuke's entrance was sure something lol, and the end even added to that xD

Yooo the bath scene that everyone kept hyping about is here too! huge W lol. Albeit just for a quick moment tho.

Nezuko clinging to Mitsuri is so cute.

Lmao Tanjiro got a real nosebleed from Mitsuri asmr.

And as expected, ended on a cliffhanger huh lol.

I knew the forums were gonna go crazy on here but dam, like only a day passed and so many pages already. Demon Slayer community crazy fr lol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

The episode was so, so. Even taking the bollywood-esque first several minutes off of it, there was a lack of substance, something was missing, something I could bite into. Let's see what's into the future for our boyo.

I'm sorry but I just can't, the one trait/gimmick is just unbearable.

The comedy is still not funny as ever, with no creativity.

Muzen is shallow, and the writing for Tanjiros sense of smell just makes it even more irritable for me.
