| The prelude to the demon's realm though was well done Infinity castle was a very apt name for it. But the ranks of the upper ranks sure featured quite a curious cast of personalities while also having fearsome and scary regen abilities. Kanao's reaction at seeing Tanjiro awake was priceless. But the injuries of Tanjiro and co sure were bad. The Goto segment though was pretty fun. Aoi sure made quite the entrance but her segment was pretty fun as well. Given that they forge the swords used by the corps makes sense that they would keep it hidden. The Kakushi though really have quite the role. If anything its a true honor to be able to visit the village. Mitsuri sure had one hell of a appetite for having just a nibble. Overall a brilliant opening ep that balanced out recapping events with intruducing new characters and locations. Love the new enidng theme and its visuals. |

| Wow this first episode came in with a banger. I am super glad to see everyone returning once again and I am happy that Tanjiro survived that battle with the upper rank. Inosuke on the ceiling waiting for Tanjiro to wake up the whole time and nobody noticed that, that was funny. Tanjiro is headed towards the Swordsmith Village, I love how the village looks and even some fanservice was shown as well in the anime. Glad to see Mitsuri returning as well, looks like she missed Tanjiro. The dream that Tanjiro had became reality since he came across the man he saw in his dreams, so that's interesting. It also seemed like something was going on with Muichirou. Genya still hates Tanjiro. Tanjiro is now setting foot on a adventure to search for something that will make him stronger, as Mitsuri mentioned to him. Man the animation, characters and everything still impresses me, its just perfect. |

Kimetsu no Yaiba doesn't have enough content for 20 minutes, so why did this episode need FIFTY MINUTES? Why do all the characters in this anime have to be unbearable? Is it so hard to write a minimally normal character? Why does everyone have to scream in this anime? Not even Kana Hanazawa could save that unbearable pink-haired woman. I'm feeling like this season will be even more painful than the last season, but at least (I pray for this) we won't have the boar-headed guy and Zenitsu in this arc, or at least not as prominent. God, please help me, your child, as I will need strength. And please, next time, read my signature and respect it. I don't like wasting my time with fanboys. Best regards and have a great week! |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| With the Entertainment District arc being the first success for the Demon Slayers in reaching their mortal enemy, Muzan and his Twelve Kizuki are in a tail spin, with the Upper Moon Rank demons summoned back to the Infinity Castle for another meeting. The Upper Rank 3rd Akaza in tow with the other demons revealed for the first time in the anime (like Upper Rank 2nd Gyokko and Upper Rank 1st Kokushibo), If anything, Muzan's boiling point has never been at this all-time high, for the Upper Rank 6th Gyutaro and Daki has been defeated, and for the first time in 113 years. And no matter what, the hierarchy will not change, even if it's the main thing on Akaza's mind. With that, it's back to business for the Upper Rank demons. Tanjiro's dream of a baby and the man who'll only be known as Sumiyoshi, his recovery is slow and awoke after two whole months. The Kakushi Goto, who's always been in the background, despite the quiet Kanao looking after him, the rest too are also worried, including Inosuke who also have awakened earlier than him. The bickering doesn't help that Tanjiro falls back to a deep sleep, and it's better to give him some much-needed rest and rehabilitation to get his stamina back. And welp, Haganezuka is not happy that one of his swords is once again broken (but that's on him because he gave him a weak sword), so no sword for Tanjiro. The only choice is to go to the swordsmith's village where it's a vital place for the Demon Slayer Corps, and it's extremely well-hidden to avoid demon attacks. From Kakushi to Kakushi, Tanjiro is passed upon like steps, and the village welcomes him with glee,,,though there's someone eager to meet him. Chief Tecchin knowing Tanjiro's purpose to meet Hotaru Haganezuka, but he's out at the moment, so the hot springs is where he'll go first. There's the obvious Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji taking a bath in the hot springs, and then there's the mohawk-hair style fellow swordman of younger brother Genza Shinazugawa as well. For Mitsuri, her reason for joining the Corps is marriage, and while Genya is nowhere to be sseen, Tanjiro's sword is just about touched-up and his experience in dealing with Muzan's Kizuki is priceless, and the secret sword in the woods, that's a temptation to go find it with Nezuko. But the Hashira having another meeting, as seen with the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito, and someone behind the kid...could it be? A great return to Demon Slayer, things are turning up even in this lowly arc. |

| first half was some bollywood shit lmaoo |

| Nice to get a double length starter to get things setup for the season. But why are their so many masochist smooth brains here? Can't be action all the time, as there is a story to be told. And if you think it's boring, how the hell have you managed to intentionally force yourself all the way to S3? Just watch something else if you don't like this. Life is too short to be wasting time on a series you find boring, so spent it enjoying something you do like. As an anime only I am intrigued about the long-redhead. We're seeing the Upper Moon who has 6 eyes, the one Tanjiro saw in his dream, and now the teased backshot on the episode cliffhanger. Looking forward to finding out if they are the same person, or whether it's pulling a bit of an FMA and they're different similar looking characters (possibly siblings) - would make a bbit of sense considering the different swords shown. |

| As always, ufotable is unable to disappoint us. Animation and bso are always on point, and the mystery surrounding the new characters are just what we need to follow the anime each week religiously. |
 |
| Gotta love the people watching the third season of a show they don't like for...whatever reason. Can't imagine valuing my time that little. |
 |
| Okay visuals are 10/10 as always( why is not every anime like this :/ :D). But the story is.. yeah not there tbh. I hope it gets more interesting. |

| yEy it's demon slayer! epic episode i want moaaar |
 |
| we are back baby, and a long episode no less, what a pleasant surprise, the show is still as enjoyable as ever. Mitsuri is, pun intended, quite lovely, perfect voice from Hanazawa Kana for her too, I liked how Tanjiro saw her running and instead of the usual nosebleed trope he actually cared and worried about her and made sure that nothing would slip by mistake, Tanjiro really is the bestest big bro, even for a pillar. Always glad to see the medic team, love those girls. What a cliff hanger to end the episode with! I will always like how the show juggles between serious moments and funny / lighthearted bits, kinda reminds me of Gintama (not saying it is on Gintama levels ofc), it made me realize why I stopped liking BNHA that much, that one for me it's been the same tone for the past seasons and I got bored (not saying that Kimetsu or BNHA is better than the other). |
| That was a pretty good first ep for the 3rd season of demon slayer the mitsuri bath scene was finally adapted ufotable still has amazing animation can't wait for ep 2 |
 |
| An excellent episode to start the third season! I love the opening! |
Xefly said: Its demon slayer boi. Its one of the most popular series right now. I aint surprised by the 1s at all. This was bound to happen. Anyone noticed that it's getting 1/10 review bombed for no reason? this should be atleast at 9-10/10 |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time. |
| Some really stunning visuals in the intro scene, loved it! I'm really looking forward to more Mitsuri, she is excellent |
| Great start to the season! With that in this arc 2 Pillars and 2 Superior Moons will be headlines (According to the opening) I have high expectations with the next chapter because of the last scene of this chapter 1 Waiting every Sunday for a chapter of this beautiful series! |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| Demon Slayer back with some more peak visuals and animation goddamn that upper moon meeting was animated beautifully. |
| whew ufotable went all out flexing their abilities, quality hasn't dropped a single bit unlike many anime sequals, loved the comedy this episode |
| It’s only April, yet the waifu of the year is already established |
| Genya really pulled out a f*cking shotgun in the opening lmao |
 |
| Damn the beginning sequence with the upper moon demons was insane. My favorite part of the episode for sure, Ufotable was flexing their stunning visuals and animation as always. Rest of the episode was okay, still absolutely detest the comedy aspect of this show but it's nice seeing Tanjiro again. Just hope Inosuke and Zenitsu won't make an appearance in the village; I've already had enough of their yelling from this episode alone. Pretty good start so far and I'm interested in seeing more of that Upper Moon One demon. |

| The Mitsuri scene was the best part of the episode |
 |
| even though ive read this arc, cant remember almost anything about these 2 upper moons, particularly the coward one |
