| hinokami kagura is badass and god tier animation !!!!! |
| damn i can feel the pain from swordsmiths on the vase, but also that's illegal way to end it on cliffhanger. |
 |
| Ufotable Unlimited Budget Works strike once again!! Absolutely Incredible!! |
 |
| tanjiro defeated an upper demon all most all in his own |
 |
| Gyokko certainly is one messed up and twisted demon. His work of "art" is nothing more than the luckless swordsmiths of the village butchered up together, almost to the brink of death for each of them. I can't blame Tokito for getting ticked off by the sight of this, but despite his attempts to strike at Gyokko, he now finds himself in trouble from a counterattack from Gyokko, where he can't use his sword to break out, nor his breathing technique, either. I can only imagine that he'll find a new way to power up to break out of his watery prison, or someone else arrives to rescue him. I'm sure the next episode of the one after that will answer that question of mine. Mitsuri finally arrived at the village and got stuck in, taking out all of the fish monsters, including a huge one that was crushing the village chief close to death. Her technique to take out the fish boss in one hit looked fabulous and the comedic scene afterwards was rather amusing, too. One of the better ones of the series, I'd say. =) The main talking point of this episode was Tanjiro's Hinokami Kagura once more. Thanks to Nezuko using her blood to fire up his sword, he wasted no time in going rampant on the Hantengu clones, where the animation popped off bloody hard. Even after seeing this animation pop off many times in this series already, I can't never get bored of seeing how smooth, crisp and precise the quality is here. Excellent job once again, ufotable! However after beheading three of the clones, Tanjiro saw that the fourth clone's head was beheaded by Genya, but Genya himself was not okay at all. It looks like he has become a demon himself, which was a juicy way to end the episode on that cliffhanger. I can only hope that Genya can be helped here, but that's easier said than done. |
Chris_Balubas said: Indeed. Animation is always praised but we must point out the ost as well. It just makes it so much better.Not only the animators, even the sound artist went beyond amazing!! |

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Upper demon is for tanjiro. |
 |
| I am getting yuukaku hen vibes from this again. Entertainment district arc picked up from episode 6. It went crazy viral. Then after that it was pure madness. After that we all know ufotable dropped one of the most beautiful fight scene out there in anime history when they released ep 10. We might be in for a similar situation with this one. Ep 1 was movie level and now ep 5 is a hot topic of discussion because of the amazing animation. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes to drop. We might just get the best animation in history by the end of this season. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time. |
| Amazing episode visually and also on the sound enginnering, great work. My only problem right now is with the power level, is Tanjiro maybe a bit too strong as of now? I know that UM4 weakens as he splits and since he was split into 4, the power level for each clone seems to be more on the Lower Moon Tier(High Lower Moons), even so Tanjiro would have to behead 3 strong Lower Moons if that's what the powerleveling of this episode shows, so I'm a bit confused as this would make him close to a Hashira powerlevel, maybe that's why the next episode title is like that? I would like someone to clarify myself on the powerlevels as that is what made me not like the episode so much as in a writing standpoint, but the episode quality was insanely good. |
| The amount of exposition talk was mind numbing. This show has both one of the best visuals at times, and one of the worst writing most of the time. Most of the episode I was distracted, thinking when characters will finally shut up and stop describing what we're already seeing. So far this arc is plain awful. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
Peak Ufotable Animation and they got Nozomu Abe who presented the best fight animations of the anime for this episode 🔥! Muzan blood cells straight up got scared looking at Tanjirou with the Sun Breathing combined with Nezuko's Demon Blood Arts lol  |
| HOOOOOLLLLYYYY FUUUUUCCKKKKKKK |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Good individual part for Mitsuri, Muichiro and Tanjiro, especially Tanjiro unleashed the katana's power and it looked incredible during the beheading scenes... though that's a surprising cliffhanger, I wonder what's truly happening |
 |
| Banger ep fosho, my boy tanjiro wasted no time fucking them demons up, though genya did get the fourth one, wonder what his deal is. |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| Mitsuri!! My amazing babygirl. ♡ |
| Forum set + pfp by my aibou Rin. <3 |
| Nezuko made it clutch for Tanjiro by using her blood demon arts to make his hinokami kagura vibrant and epic. Now Tanjiro is ready to whoop some upper moon demon's ass. Muichiro seems to be struggling against upper moon 5 as he gets impaled by fish spikes and engulfed in a water casing. Not only is my boi slowly getting poisoned but he's drowning too. Mans not living his best life. Feels bad man. Best girl Mitsuri came through with the village safe. She can slay. |
