| Yea for Nezuko!!! I hope the sun purified her enough that she has no bloodlust. I assume the fact that she never drank blood and gave into her demon side aided in this. Zenitsu is gonna lose it! Hurry next season! |
| Great season finale. Nezuko conquering the sun was pretty cool and unexpected at this stage of the game. The female doctor also suggested that the reason Nexuko is childlike is because she sacrificed intelligence for the ability to adapt to the sun, which I guess no other demon tried. Now I wonder if being a demon can even be cured now and Nezuko will just live on like this. Also Muzan becoming a demon was not how I was picturing it. A doctor made a concoction and basically mutated his body. I was expecting some deal with the devil or something, but it ended up being less over-the-top. This also leaves the door open for more demons being created if someone were to recreate the formula. And it's a bit ironic that the doctor could have created a cure to the sun much sooner if Muzan hadn't killed him. Overall, production values were fantastic as always and the emotional pull of the characters was still strong this season. The pacing was a bit wonky at times with the flashbacks, but overall this was still a really strong season. With Demon Slayer as a series I am of the opinion that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and this season is no exception. 9/10 for me. |
futuretechfreak said: It used a time slot reserving 70 minutes of screentime. It included both the episode itself and commercial breaks.wasn't it supposed to be 70 mins but in actual it's 52 mins wtf! |

| I was thinking of lowering my score from a 7 to a 6, but that soundtrack and the scenes with Nezuko were pretty moving, even if the shitty script, a lack of nuance in some takes, and the lack of believability that Nezuko would actually die, took away from it slightly. Would be nice if Demon Slayer were more unpredictable with it's progression and outcomes, not as linear as it is right now, instead of a rinse/repeat form of story telling, but I'm fairly doubtful things are going to change much, ah well... It plays well within itself, doesn't take too many risks, and it's decent enough, but I can only give it so much praise. |

| better than the previous episodes we have been getting but i'm not too impressed, entertainment arc, mugen train were better. and it seems like the nezuko part was plot armour but stil i'm glad she didn't die. with that we finally have a reason to face muzan already, he himself is gonna come for them. this time tanjiro was the star instead of the hashra's. i'm gonna be pissed if tanjiro's isn't promoted to a hashira after going through all this shit, he deserves it. good to see the origin of the demons which is ridiculous af. some random doctor a millenia ago just created it like tf? and i thought muzan would have a better reason to be how he is, i thought some big goal or something but he's just an average villan who just wants to be a perfect being and likes killing people. weak character af. can't wait to see zenitsu's reaction to nezuko, also looking forward to conversations with nezuko. and they used that crying technique again lol. make everyone cry and eventually the viewer gets teary eyed too, worked in rengoku scene, worked here too haha but this time i knew what they were doing so i was able to stop myself, like it wasn't even sad now, they jsut making us cry by showing other crying people. this was the only episode which felt demon slayer like, all previous episodes were below average. overall 8/10. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Loads of thrilling action, but they still did flashbacks (!!) At least Zenitsu wasn't annoying in this one. I was yelling "CUT his head off!!!" in exitement. Solid season, if not for the many many pacing issues and flashbacks, this would be a 10. |
 |
| THE BUDGET IS BACK at first few episdoes, I despise this season a lot because the animation doesn't look goof compared to the last seasons After all of that shit, watching this finale feels satifying 7/10 from me |
We all have shit taste, especially in animes No one's right, no one's wrong  |
| wow this last episode was AMAZING!!!! too many things to talk about but the main thing i did not expect was for Nezuko to, i guess, survive in the sun but still is a demon. When she pushed Tanjiro i 100% thought "no way shes gonna die now, Genya or Muichiro is probably gonna be like 'tanjiro heres the box' and then throw it at him" but no this was the last thing i expected. And after killing 2 upper rank demons in a single night, seeing the villagers cheer for Tanjiro felt like such a deserved happy ending even though we probably aren't anywhere near the ending yet. (i havent read the manga so idk how much is left). when i first watched the first episode for this season i hated like 3 of the characters already which were Genya, Muichiro, and Hotaru. but my opinion for all of them (well less of Hotaru) has changed to being more of my favorite characters. Personally Genya would be my first favorite for this season but if we are talking about the entire series im saying my fav is Inosuke. anyways im ranting, back on track, i wished to have seen the other slayers during Tanjiro's departure but i think it was good enough that they all did a group hug before it, I know in like every season they focus on newer characters and sort of leave old characters like how they did last season where the focus was with that one hashira in the entertainment arc but once it ended it switched to the mist and love hashira this season, which i enjoy, its able to show each ones story and personality but i hope they return eventually cuz i would love to see some Genya and Inosuke interactions. hopefully Genya will come back next season with the return of Inosuke but who knows (manga readers know) ok ok im talking to much so ill end it here. Im rating this last episode a 12/10 once again. |

| A damn good finale to this season. Though I will say, the flashbacks of Nezuko when she kicked Tanjiro made me cringe, it was obvious they wanted you to cry at the thought of her dying. The hunt and killing of Hantengu was hype as hell though, so I guess that cancels out. Overall a 7/10 season, just like every other Demon Slayer season. Really good for what it is, but nothing outstanding. I don’t get the specific hate for this season though, in my opinion the writing in the red light district arc was worse and it felt much more dragged out and slow. |
| i thought nezuko was a goner for sure glad she's alive and now can walk around in daybreak |
deep fried lettuce   ^i snitched this from a dude's forum signature^  |
| Was quite shocked actually to see Nezuko on the verge of dying, being burned by the sun. And I actually believed they were going to kill her off, because, mild spoiler alert, characters are gonna drop like flies towards the end, so I believed they did have the balls to kill off one of the main cast. It would've shaken things up for sure and make things increasingly interesting from here on out, but I'm really glad she's alive. I felt the joy and relief of all the characters seeing her alive and well, looking like she had just defeated the sun as a demon. Also I can't be the only one who lol'ed when they cut back to Mitsuri still fighting (insert name of young dude upper moon four with the stone serpents or whatever, I lost track); she had to be at it for awhile. But actually no, because Hatengu was probably defeated in like less than five minutes after they all started chasing after him. A lot of the time was spent in slow-motion and in monologues in Tanjiro's head. So I guess Mitsuri was just fine, until she wasn't, and was almost killed before getting saved in the nick of time. I hope she gets some acknowledgement for holding off the upper moon four while everyone ran away to chase down the little main body. Enough of that nonsense, let's get into some quick thoughts about this season. Overall, more good demon slayer sakuga which we've come to expect. First couple episodes were a bit of a slog as Tanjiro got back up on his feet after being severely injured after the entertainment district arc, and was filled with the garbage humour that demon slayer is known for- and of course we get quite a bit of that 'humour' sprinkled throughout the season, but that's just a nitpick that can be easily overlooked. I still would prefer this to maintain a serious tone throughout, or just make the 'comedic relief' less obnoxious. After the first two or three episodes or so, it quickly picked up and it's a straight up continuous fight throughout just like the previous season was, although season 2 took a little bit longer to get going if I remember correctly. Now comparing it to season 2, I will say that the entertainment district arc did feel more impactful. This swordsmith village arc had me like "yeah that was good", but the entertainment district arc had me like "DAMN!" Anyway yeah that's pretty much it. Favourite part of this season easily remains as DRAGON SUN HALO in episode 5. See you guys in season 4. 7.7/10 |

| no way it literally crashed crunchyroll, but anyways the episode felt short, kinda bothers me that genya blush when ever he's got around with girls. we still have 2 arcs remaining. |
 |
| Alright, I went into this episode expecting to give the season as a whole a 7, as I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the last arc, but I have to be honest, that scene where Tanjiro was genuinely torn about what to do when his sister was burning up, was really fucking good, the both the animators and the VA absolutely sold his confliction, probably one of the best portrayals of a conflicted character in a moment of panic I've seen, so Bravo, you get an 8. Even though I didn't think for a second, even with the sad music montage, that they were actually going to kill Nezuko, lol. |
| this was probably the worst season for demon slayer so far hopefully the next season is good and starts airing soon 7/10 for this season |
 |
| How do I rate this season exactly? Muichiro vs Gyokko was the best fight season since Mugen Train, if not the best one yet, it pretty much avoided the formula of a season-long Hashira vs Kizuki fight which made me detest S2. At the same time we have the asspull of Nezuko overcoming the sun. Now, I use that term rarely if ever, but how else would one describe this? There was 0 setup for this development and Tamayo sending that letter post-factum only added insult to injury. Simply adding that scene at the start of the season would have served as decent setup. It really feels like one of those moments where a mangaka wrote themselves into a corner Also, did we really need to give Muzan a reason to go after Nezuko? We already knew that the leader of the Demon Killing Corps intended to end Muzan and his legacy in his generation. I think that if he gave an order for a counterattack that gets many of the Hashira killed would have worked just fine, especially because of the weight that he would have to carry for such a (maybe rushed) decision. It would be similar to Urokodaki's regret. Let's not forget that Muzan already wanted to wipe out Tanjirou's bloodline anyway. Rating this season as a whole is weird, but I'll give it an 8/10 solely because of Muichirou's part. I guess that currently my ranking is S1 > S3 = Mugen Train > S2. Muichirou's part on its own equals S1, while the rest ranks below S2. |

| The last episode was definitely amazing, I kinda get why there's 11 episode instead of 12 now lol. A lot happened like with Nezuko's situation and beating another upper ranked demon. It was definitely a really great end to this season, I can't wait for the next one! |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| This episode really didn't need to be 50 minute but whatever I still like this season overall and I'm really looking forward to the next season but whenever they finally fight Muzan I don't know if I'll still care to watch because I remember really not liking when they finally fight him when I read the manga. |
Dragomir411 said: I found his flashback abitr shit really.Muzan past was so epic I didn't read the manga but I thought his origins were amazing . Im looking forward to more flashbacks of him in the future. So he just came about because some doctor was experimenting on him? I really hope there is more to it than that. So many questions left unattended. I know there is more to come but we needed some answers here. |
