Today's episode of Demon slayer was mid. I thought Genya had his character arc end in the best way possible but no they had to bring him back. And that new demon looked like a mixture of Beerus and Enel. And i don't understand the muichiro character at all

This chapter in the manga with Mui's father had me emotional. Felt nothing watching the anime. The pacing and poor direction is biting this seasons butt big time.

Anyways Goat Yamadera is here as Zoha so thats amazing.

I think this should be the last weak episode of the season because the good character story telling will begin and the actual intense fights should be after this.

Except if they ruin it somehow lol

Guessing that Upper 4 is giving off heavy symbolism. When around someone more powerful, Fear is the greatest emotion, when fighting you make your Fear small, and if you let it...Hatred can consume everything else about you.
Glad the Tanjiro didn't take too long to call it out on it's hypocrisy. Small and Weak?! Even a Nezuko enhanced sword had trouble cutting through, and you're the 5th most powerful demon out there. You are FAR from being small and weak.
On another note. Damn, Haganezuka is hot! xD

This was more of a low episode, the real demon has finally shown and Muichiro is free from that water prison, not much happened but I imagine more of a calm before the storm.

Diggin' Muichiro's daddy issues. We got 2 new hawt bois. Tanjirou should really stop with the TED talks mid fight. It's annoying. I love the overall message of the episode and the pacing picked up quickly. We got a shocker at the right time. Wasn't sad for the kid... Also, CAN WE FINALLY SIGN A PETITION TO REMOVE THAT FISH. At this point, I'm sure ufotable is doing it for the lulz.

GENYA WAS FULL OF HOLES FROM EP 6
BUT HE WAS ALR AND GOT HIS HOLES FILLED AGAIN ON EP 7?
"i can't regenerate my head" he said it, implying he can do it for his body instead of his head
HE GOT RAPID REGENERATION like demons?
WTH (i was so confused at first)

anyway mid episode
guess its the weak arc

hanezuka so damn hot

why don't they the swordsmiths use a frickin katana instead of a kitchen knife lol 

AND the CGI FISH SUCKS
they are matching the vase guy's GROSSNESS

Wooooooah, first the demons split and are OP, now they’re combined together and even more OP. Now we see those wooden dragon looking things from the opening. How will Tanjiro pull himself out of this I wonder? The Love Hashira of course

As for Muichiro, he was getting on my nerves just dwelling in that water prison. Get your act together and do what you gotta do! Even that kid had a bigger pair of yeah that he did!

I sort of wish that this season was just focused on one of the upper moon demons, going back and forth between the two is a little disjointed especially since the emotion one has like six versions of himself as it is. Anyway, I'm still really enjoying this season but not as much as the Entertainment District Arc.

On this episode of Demon Staring, upper moon 5 had the chance to kill a normal human forging a sword that will be the deus ex machina of the season but got so mad he wasn't noticed that he totally forgot to land a fatal blow.

On the other side of the battle, upper moon 4 appeared on what seems to be his real form, he's so terrifying he doesn't need to fight, he just needs to stare at Tanjiro and Genya as they shit their pants to death.

But my favorite part of the episode was the innovation where TanJesus appears to our useless hashira and says "ganbateee Hashira-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!". Not always we need a flashback where the oni slaughter your family to give strength to carry on.

Another demon form appear and his theme song are amazing good. Even his voice is sound good.

Muichiro actually can slash that water after all ... Maybe he didn't use his full strength at first..

Mitsuri really got a little screen time... Guess she will appear helping Tanjiro since the OP song always giving a little spoiler.

Tanjiro swordsmith face finally revealed... His tough muscle body with that mask are always looking funny for me especially when he's always angry and chasing others.

Seems people are spoiled rotten by the previous seasons of DS. They are expecting the anime to get extraordinarily better by each season which is, honestly, not surprising and because you know why. All I want to say is be a bit patient. Every anime has its ups and downs and this isn't even particularly bad! It's just the pacing and the cliffhanger. The juicy stuff is after this, trust me. Cuz ufotable would not risk producing mediocre stuff after delivering such phenomenal seasons. Though I think the still frames could've been avoided but HEY everybody was saying season 2's pacing was bad, though after the main fight those thoughts flushed away. That's it.

if you read the manga weekly, you would have the same opinion as you have towards the anime. If you think you have patience, just let the season finish first and then binge it. Then you will feel the real HYPE.

Tanjirou argument toward the 4th upper demon is pretty weak tbh.
A person is evil or not is base on perspective/ side you on.
To demons, human are literally food source and they have to eat it to survive.
So Tanjirou argue that eating human = evil, however we ate trillions of animals without hesitation, are we evil?
It's like saying animals are evil when they eat a human, that's a very weak argument.  It's basically just food chain.
From Tanjirou's argument I only feel the pride of humanity instead of a sound argument cuz human think themselves as special/ superior over other species.

Contrary, the Upper 4 actually has a better argument.  
For those that hurt his family and those that bully the weak (the small old demon), it is evil in his perspective.
He doesn't judge the evil/ good base on species difference, but base on his own moral justice standard in the perspective of demons.

The only thing I would argue is that not every human demons kill, they eat. Especially the upper moons as sometimes they kill for fun or torture. An example being Gyokko with those "sculptures" he made out of the swordsmiths.

the earth dragons were cool

why is the other demon slayer LITERALLY narrating a flashback. The writing is worse than if I was raised in a third world country by wolves. And he thinks the information to himself rather than LETTING TANJIRO KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED

wow he has such intense <insert anime energy> that I can't move or breathe!!!!!! and now I am through the power of friendship. At least kishimoto did it better with sasuke v orichimaru. Sasuke was getting skurred and an external stimuli (i.e. naruto coming in clutch to stop the snake) snapped him awake + kunai (wish it was an arrow) to the knee. this anime is from the discount bin at the dollar store

what a stupid "i need to break the concentration of the guy cuz he's more concentrated as an artist than i am" BRUH JUST KILL THE SWORDSMITH AND MAKE MUZAN HAPPY

it was obvious the kid would come and save him. i wish they kissed at this point instead of him blowing air in the water vase and the bubbles traveling horizontally into the hashima's mouth which makes no sense

ALSO ZABUZA AND KISAME DID THE WATER PRISON JUTSU BETTER. this show is a 0/10 and i watch it at 2x cuz the fights are well animated

Yeah that's why I dont think Upper 4 is "evil" like Tanjirou claimed.

Upper 2, Upper 5 you can argue about it, but upper 3/ 4 dont seem that evil to me in demon's perspective.
Tanjirou sympathizes with a lot of demons despite most of them ate human b4 and he doesn't just outright call them evil, so it's strange he got this mad about Upper 4 calling them evil.
In fact to Demons, demon slayer corps are the evil guy cuz they're killing them too.

Also if his sister is not this special and end up need to eat human to survive, I bet he'd find excuse too to forgive his sister and not calling her evil, but instead a victim.

Tanjiro trying to cut down the actual tiny demon that is the Upper Rank 4 Hantengu, but miscalculated his timing to only encounter with another of his Emotion culmination: the Anger Demon Zohakuten, absorbing Sekido, Karaku and Aizetsu. The stronghold of the young boy shaking both Tenjiro and Genya to their knees, and the vow to exterminate is stronger than ever.

Tokito, still stuck with Upper Rank 5 Gyokko, tries to break out of his Blood Demon Art but to no success, hoping that help would arrive on the way. Gyokko going to investigate the shack where Tokito stood still, and indeed it's the village chief Haganezuka's work hut that he's enamored with perfecting his sword enough to ignore Gyokko's attention, because this sword is meant for Tokito. Hyottoko trying to save him, and despite being countered by the miniature fish monster, he helps break Tokito out of the shell.

Still at a slow progress...

I was wondering how Hantengu would end up becoming an actual hydra-like monster as the OP showed, looks like it’s actually an attack by a fused version of the emotion demons that became hatred, and damn he looks kinda sick, this guy has a truly threatening look. And it’s interesting he sees Tanjiro and Genya as villains, but it’s as Tanjiro said that his logic is severely flawed so on the ass beating list he goes lol, but I’m really looking forward to how this fight progresses from here.

And Tokito was finally freed from his water captivity thanks to Kotetsu and Tokito’s memory of Tanjiro and I guess also his dad lol, poor Kotetsu took a bad hit but our boy is finally free. And I’m ngl I thought it was pretty funny that Gyokko was getting mad at Haganezuka for having the most extreme concentration on the planet lol, looks like one of Gyokko’s glaring weaknesses is his ego as an artist and I’m sure it will be detrimental to his defeat.

The episode was between meh and okay-ish, it felt dragged, but at least it got a bit better at the end with the kid being stabbed and helping the Mist Hashira out, that was the best part of the episode, the rest of it was kinda meh.

This will probably pick up in the next episode but so far, I'm not impressed with this season, this is a 7/10 so far for me but Ufotable will probably bring their shit together in the next episodes and this season will turn out awesome, I hope it does because so far, I'm just not feeling it.

Daddy Haganezuka~

3,5/5 episode. First 10 minutes or so were really good in terms of action and OST, not to mention Hate Demon's chilling introduction, but things sure started to drag the moment he started talking. Also can't help but think Muichirou spent three entire episodes... drowning.

the CG was passable, i don't hate it but i thought the CG fish which was actually overhated a few weeks ago looked better ngl.
the mist hashira scenes felt like it dragged on too long but he's finally out.
that fused demon reminds me of enel from one piece because of that huge floating ring thing behind him.

highlight was definitely haganezuka, insaneee focus. 
but please just kill that jar demon with multiple baby hands already, i dislike listening to him very much.
