A lot of action this episode, Tokitou on his way to save people and Tanjirou fighting an demon that splits in many pieces but it seems like he found the weak spots. Genya doesn't die that easily and he lets them show that, the same goes for Nezuko also, she literally blasted away an upper demon lmao.

Looks like Genya is ready for another attack but Tanjiro flew inside the house with an upper demon and almost defeated it. Nezuko be having some crazy casting spells. Wow that power from that upper demon, both Tanjiro and Nezuko fell down and became unconscious. Demons are attacking the village and Mitsuri's crow noticed that and now Mitsuri is on her way to help the village, presumably together with Tokitou.

The animation this episode was great as well, ufotable is knocking it out of the park with what they deliver. I really like the opening and ending as well.

this ep triggered me so much wtf

first of all i dint even realize the love girl moved out of the village, i was thinking she was staying at inn cose thats where she was on the last episode???????

second, every1 was fighting for so long inside the inn AND outside, why the f it took so long to sound the alarm? they literally sounded it while the fishes were coming inside HELLO?

then there is Tokito, he saved the blacksmith kid and he was like "Haganezuka is crafting a sword and u need to protect him so he wont mess up" ..... ok lets do that while the village is getting destroyed and every1 is dying

i was pogging too cose all the previous eps were 9's and 10's and this happened, fml
if i liked anything it was the scene with Nezuko and Tanjiro... which ended in 1 min, sadge

Bro, is this your first anime?
Flow of time being all over the place is like the most common anime trope ever, especially where many important events take place in the same time.

Another very bad episode, the 29th in a row. How can an anime have 29 consecutive bad episodes? The power play in this anime simply doesn't exist.
I hope Kanroji can save it, although I already know she won't be able to. We'll have to pray that Kana Hanazawa will do her job.

So essentially every episode since the Mountain at arc has been bad to you???

Massive Genya W. Gotta love his energy and no one better than Okamoto to bring him to live.

Mitsuri on the other hand couldn't be a greater contrast lol. Demon Slayer not just shining in the animation department.

Soundwise Upper 4 reminds me of Tanaka Alien from Gantz btw.

Man this fight has been off the wall so far, Tanjiro is already fighting really intensely and has also had some great quick thinking moments, and I really loved Genya’s retaliation after appearing defeated at first, there’s definitely something up with him after seeing him fight, and I’m interested in knowing what but I’m too focused on the ass blasting he’s doing with that shotgun to care a lot atm lol.

And it was nice to see Tokito defeat that fish monster, saving Kotetsu, and I’m sure it doesn’t stop there since that was just one of many. And that final scene, Mitsuri is about to enter the fray and I’m really excited to see what she does, she seemed happy as well lol. I also enjoyed the after credits featuring her as a college art student, very cute.

This season of Demon Slayer has everything to be the best season so far in the series, in my opinion. We have a mystical sword from 300 years ago, an old demon slayer that shares Tanjiro's iconic scar and earrings, demons invading the ultra-secretive Swordsmith Village, and great fighting scenes; there's story development (at least some so far) and action, I'm happy. The only "stain on the cloth" for me are those horrible 3D monsters, like in Mugen Train. I really hope they explore Tangiro's relationship with the older demon slayer and I can't wait to see the restored sword in action

Great to see Nezuko fights, she use her power with ease now. The upper 4 seems weak... They been slashed/shots many times.... But wonder how would they kill this one...

Muichiro is actually cute... And he always forget because of his lost memories?.. well... At least he a Hashira..

Kanroji is coming ~~ I thought she would do her actions in this episode, I guess it would be on the next episode then.

Upper moon 4 Hatengo is definitely giving everyone a handful.
Tanjiro got carried away with the talon demon. Dodging and finding an opening to attack him. The moment that Tanjiro's sword connected to him is when he hit the jack pot.
Tanjiro's battle IQ is growing and fast. He is able to adapt to his environment and think on the spot. As shown in the scene when Tanjiro cut off the talon demon's foot to counter the staff demon's electrifying staff. Saving Nezuko in the process. Genya also had some surprises up his sleeves. Being able to survive from getting impaled and shooting a shotgun blast to the demon's head. Blowing it off.
Episode 4 is cooking the good stuff. 
Love Hashira, Mitsuru Kanroji is on the way to slay. Slay queen.

Maybe I’m tripping or something but am I the only one who thinks the animation for s3 has been really weird??

Like the style feels different ever since the end of s2

It’s not a bad change though I like it. Idk maybe I’m just going crazy.

I don’t know for sure — but I’ve recently noticed awesome details at the point of focus (I.e. Nezuko’s blood splatter, burn, & arm twist was especially wicked).

I don't know if it's just me but I thought the animation didn't feel as fluent as previous episodes and the overall directing of this episode  did not feel great either. I loved the first 3 episodes but I can't say that I enjoyed this one as much as the other 3. And also the scenes with the uppermoon 4 and 5 don't have the same vibe and tension as with uppermoon 6 or akaza. I don't know I have mixed feelings about this so far

yeah, when demon slayer focuses on action instead of comedy, it's actually good. this has been the first decent episode for me.
nezuko was getting folded and this mf genya still using glock breathing lmao.
see, demon slayer is unironically funny but when they actually try to be, it's hot garbage.

mitsuri is on the way!

Great ep, awesome pacing. Interesting battles.

The Mist Hashira is really growing on me. Seems like a cool dude now.

All I can imagine is Bakugo when I see Genya XD they should've picked a different VA lol. Also I'm surprised he aint dead. Maybe he's using some sort of healing breathing technique to minimise his injuries idk.

You guys are in luck! this is the first episode on this season that I won't completely shit on because it barely had comedy, that being said, it did have some comedy but I will let it slide this time since it was short.

The episode was decent, it's not the best episode regarding the action scenes, I've seen way better stuff in the previous seasons & movie but it was good enough to get the job done, I wasn't impressed with the action scenes but I know I will get impressed later, for now, this episode was good enough to get the job done so I liked it.

For some reason though, I'm not "feeling it" with that upper moon, I did feel it with Akaza, Daki, and Gyutaro but this upper moon is lacking that "atmosphere", it's probably the way this episode is being directed that didn't make me feel it but I will say this, that upper moon is gimmicky as hell so it deserves the title of an upper moon since he's someone you can't just kill by slashing his head off, and dealing with 4 of them at the same time by yourself is almost impossible so you need teamwork to beat them.

For now, this was a decent episode and it's the best episode in this season IMHO but that isn't saying much anyway, this was just decent, nothing to go crazy about but for now, it got the job done. Not every episode needs to be a masterpiece in animation or action scenes, this season will have it later hopefully but for now, it was just decent.

The CGI fish was rather well done though, I felt, and Tokito cleared that while saving Kotetsu with grace. But it regenerates right back, and its actual soul came from the vase, which proves that it's Demon Blood Art. Despite Kotetsu feeling regret that he called Tokito the name of "seaweed head", his plea request to him triggered his past memories from when he was saved while being brutally tattered. Meanwhile, on Tanjiro's side, his fight against Uroki exposes the main demon's weakness, while Nezuko and Genya barely holds on her defense against Aizatsu and Karaku.

Try all the demons can, Nezuko tries her best, while Genya springs to life with his Amida Sutra, and Tanjiro uses the environment to his best to drive Urogi back to the building where they came from. And while Tanjiro has figured out Hantengu's weakness, his clones are not letting up, which leaving Sekido, Aizetsu and Urami, the entire swordsmith village is in danger.

Mitsuri to the rescue, finally! She's gonna break expectations once more.

Feel like I have no investment in these upper ranks so I don't rly care too much about this fight rn but the boob hashira is here now to do some cool stuff I guess. There was buildup for the mugen train and especially the upper 6 that was killed last arc so ya. This will prob grow on me more but all I can say is I'm mainly excited to see the rank 3 dude (maybe 2 I can't remember) from the end of mugen train to come back and have a square off with Tanjiro.

What a terrible episode. You can clearly see the drop in animation quality during the fight. A lot of them were stills animation, and holy fuck Tanjiro wouldn't fucking shut up about how close Nezuko and Genya were, like 3 fucking times he repeated the same shit. Not sure if the production wanted to extend the running time with useless redundant shit or what.

Very poorly done episode.

Tbh the buildup of Upper 4 and 5 feel rather lazy..
They just.. showup...  No buildup or anything, no suspense.

Compare to Upper 6, they not only feel weaker in general (no aid of Hashira and they able to last this long), Tanjirou doesn't even use any breathing technique, just swinging the sword is enough to fight one of them off which kinda show that this thing is kinda weak.  
They also talk way too much, waiting for counter attack and keep getting blown off head.. 
The has a very childish/cartoon-ish fighting choreography. 
And those inner self talking of Tanjirou, it never stop.

Upper 6 male part can straight up kill any of none Hashira in one blow, and it has poison on top of its blade...
Upper 4 straight up feel like those old battles of Tanjirou fighting some random demons ...

Also kinda tired that we now know most of the upper moons dont have this neck weakness (yawn)

I agree with what you said, but IMHO, what makes that demon dangerous is the "gimmicky" part of it, just imagine having to fight all 4 of them at the same time, that would be a pain in the ass, one of them alone may not be that strong which is the reason Tanjiro is able to fight the flying demon without using Breathing techniques but fighting all 4 of them at the same time is another story. It's the gimmicks that make him dangerous.

Let's not forget that Tanjiro is stronger now as well, he got more experience now, I did find it stupid how the doll was beating him though, I never liked this part in the manga and I sure as hell didn't like it in the anime either.

I struggle to see why this series is good, in the last 4 episodes so little of value has happened it could've probably been condensed into 1 or 2 episodes.
That was my problem with Season 2 too, the concept of these Upper Moons fights is enticing, but they really overstay their welcome recently. The Lower Moon fight in S1 was really long but also well scripted, and the Mugen Train Upper Moon fight could be considered too short but I really enjoy it in retrospect to S2 and S3.
