| Why does Tanjiro's forehead scar look different from previous episodes? Did he get a tattoo or something? |

| Nezuko is so cute, kind and strong I'm in love |
heydaycapriccio said: The teeth gritting sound was so disgusting, I had to take out my headphones. Also, I can't stop thinking about how incredibly creepy this scene looks when taken out of context. It honestly looks like a stalker locking up the person he's obsessed with, lmao. lol ah man it does now that ive taken a second look at it. |

| Wow, the adaptation made this short filler tier side arc more interesting to watch. The worst and slowest parts of the manga have actually been pretty entertaining thus far. That ost and directing really adds a lot. Basically everything post god Vesperia is pretty trash. A Zestiria fan feeling they have the right to judge anything, let alone deserve to exist, really is a thinker. |

| Another masterpiece episode! So, black blades are said to be wielded by swordmen who will never go far, interesting! Tanjirou will show that he will be the first going far! For her first mission, gotta say he is agaisnt a hard demon, but i am glad he found it with his scent, water style animation in fight and soundtrack were awesome, and yeah Nezuko is on the scene aswelll with that powerfull kick, i am loving her! So cute and deadly! Can't wait to see her next episode! I feel kinda bad about the guy that lost his beloved girl! |
 |
| I thought this episode is decent, feels really slow |
 |
| Great episode. Nezuko got her box. We learned about the sword, the demon slayer cloths, the demon who killed Tanjirou's family and why Nezuko fights against demons. We got to see Tanjirou's abilities - scent and sword techniques in full-effect against a really creepy trio of demon. I really don't see how people would call that slow but I'm used to most people on MAL just commenting on the one thing they didn't find perfect about an episode. |
| "We' will always be together nezuko. It looked so yandere when Tenjuro looked into the basket and told her that |
Eniie said: LordGrind3r said: This anime looks great, all the colors and the art style are amazing. And that fantastic soundtrack ? Immersive for almost the whole episode, and what a fight! I was missing anime like this one. But it's difficult to maintain that level for 26 episodes. It's pretty likely for it to be 13 episodes first season, and 13 episodes during Fall season. split-cour but if was a split-cour shouldn't had been another page created? is one saying 26 o.0... |

| NEZUKO KICK!!! I'm so happy to see the cutest imoto burst out of the little box to deliver her now signature move. I was a little bummed to know that a little hypnotic suggestion was planted in her but given the circumstances that she's also a demon that could loose control at the wrong moment made me understand why Urokodaki had to implant a fail safe measure on her. Nezuko already has proven to show restraint in harming Tanjiro and has shown to be protective of him so the little tweak in her head is for everyone else's sake. Uforable animation was spot on again and puts every other studio to shame. The amount of detail they put on a single episode is on par with other studios when they put their resources on a movie. There's simply no comparison; they head and shoulders above everyone else and they're the gold standard of animation as far as I'm concerned. I'm not gonna waste my time on people who waste their time shitting on what people enjoy. They're hopeless and live only through toxicity. They'll never go away and asking them to leave only makes them want to stay and be more defiant because attention through conflict is probably the only thing going for their miserable lives. Those who don't like the anime have a right to do so and they should do the ONLY logical and sane thing to do is drop it and leave. Unfortunately we're not dealing with logical or sane people on these forums. |

| Finally got caught up on this series. Man, the pacing is slow. I just barely avoided dropping this show, and to be honest I fast-fowarded through episode 4 because it was such an uneventful snoozefest. Fortunately the plot has picked up a bit in the last couple of episodes, so there is at least some entertainment to be had. Fights are reasonably engaging, which is a good thing because this series is leaning heavily on the action to maintain interest. Still, the story and characterization is very thin. The set-pieces for the plot feel very generic, from the test that the demon hunters had to take, to getting his sword (not lightsaber lul), to going out on his first demon-hunting assignment. As I expected from the first couple of episodes, this show is struggling to deliver substance, given the vague, unfocused goal of the story and main character. I take back what I said about the pacing being slow; it's more erratic than slow. Some parts are indeed much slower than they need to be, but the part I mention above was supposed to be a whole seven days; and other than the main fight that entire time is glossed over. Instead of taking time to develop the main character and perhaps some side characters, it just teels us that he spent seven days in there. So why not make it a single night? Or three nights? It would have served the same narrative purpose. Very bizarre decision making. Probably the biggest problem is how distant and under-characterized the cast of the show is. Yes, Urokodaki is supposed to have a somewhat mysterious background, but that isn't an excuse to skip his characterization. Same with Tanjiro; other than the sniffing thing and wanting to help his sister, nothing has been done to make his character stand out. He hasn't been forced to make any decisions that define him as a person, and his "development" has been restricted to his progression as a demon slayer, so that we can get to cool fight scenes. Even the incidental characters in this episode have received little to no characterization. Even second-rate animes would make a token effort to flesh out characters like the girl who was attacked by the demon while she slept. But this show does nothing to define her character or make the audience care about her. She's literally just a vehicle for advancing the plot. I'm not impressed. |

| Damn, that Nezuko kick was awesome, she got some amazing Legs. Hmm mm. |

| Nezuko is so beautiful! yey! she's on action this episode <3 I miss her :D |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Nezuko Kick is funny an all. But it feels like the old men fucked Nezuko and Tanjirou over. Since he "Hypnosis" Nezuko with "All Humans are Family, All Demons are Enemy, Never forgive Demons" Which basically goes in the opposite of what Tanjirou is doing... he wants to find a way to return Nezuko back to Human and he also forgives Demons at the end and prays for them. This means if Tanjirou actually came across a Demon that decides to talk to Tanjirou about stuff. Because Nezuko is Hypnotized and will instantly attack the Demon. Leaving the Demon unable to talk to Tanjirou. Which means Tanjirou will never get his answers and will never find a way to return Nezuko back to Human. So yea... old dude fucked Tanjirou over. Old dude probably did this so Tanjirou can never quit in being a Demon Slayer since he will have no choice but to kill Demons as Nezuko will constantly rush toward and attack Demons. |

| Nezuko Kick! Missed seeing her in action. Cutest Imouto |
 |
| Yeah this demon is rather creepy and brutal. |
 |
| It seems there are always things in the shadow in this show that only get elaborated on later. So they probably just introduced the probable endgame boss, and pretty early on too. I guess he's the stylish dude in the formal clothing at appears in the opening sequence. |
| that kick from Nezuko was badass! and she's much more badass because she'll be protecting humans by helping in engaging the Demons! so that main Antagonist from the OP visuals...his name is Kibutsuji Muzan! i wonder if he just a srong villain or a different kind of interesing villain...or maybe a twist cuz many are saying that the story is such genericness... 5/5. |
 |
| Nezuko will teach those demons a lesson now! |
 |
| Urokodaki used a hypnotic suggestion on Nezuko without asking for Tanjirou's permission while he was gone. I'm initially upset about it being an ethical issue but in hindsight, it might actually be safeguard for her from feeding on humans instead of protecting them, if and when she finally loses control. So yeah, I'm OK with NEZUKO KICK!!! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| It was obvious that that was the case, but it's still sad that all the girls are dead. Kajiura's ost makes action scenes so much more intense, I love it. Good episode. |
| That episode felt like "215600" |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| Fuck yeah man! demon and demon slayer duo! The first demon's name is lame btw |
 |
| Kuro no yaiba... BANKAI. ZANGETSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha :P New item acquired: COFFIN Nezu-chan such a badasssssssss *O* I love her and veins so much <3 |

| Slaying demons is something serious indeed. The demon introduced in this episode is creepy as hell and seem to be rather strong! He's weaker than his mutated guy from before, but fights in a more clever way it seems. Nezuko-chan was awesome! |

| Urokodaki brainwashing Nezuko into thinking all humans are her family is a bit messed up, but understandable considering her instincts compel her to literally eat people alive. An extra safety precaution to keep her from falling over the edge. I love how he's become a father figure to Tanjiro. |
Tsarko said: It was obvious that that was the case, but it's still sad that all the girls are dead. Kajiura's ost makes action scenes so much more intense, I love it. Good episode. After seeing the family slaughtered early on in the series I held no hope for those girls. |
| First mission is a though one.Nezuko helping aswell :D |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Good to see that Nezuko isn't content to just sit in her box all day! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Twisting someone's personality like this is absolutely horrible... |
| So these new types of demons only abduct young girls who have turned 16 years old at night? And look at all those acessories that belonged to those poor girls! That's terrifying! :S Nezuko have great kicks! I want her to continue giving those amazing kicks to future demons X) Another great episode! |

Vysarine said: Yes, same. It's definitely a "cold comfort" though I think Nezuko already does a lot to protect Tanjiro, so I suppose it's so she doesn't attack other humans he now will try to help.Urokodaki brainwashing Nezuko into thinking all humans are her family is a bit messed up, but understandable considering her instincts compel her to literally eat people alive. An extra safety precaution to keep her from falling over the edge. I love how he's become a father figure to Tanjiro. I love the father/son type of relationship Tanjiro and Urokodaki have. I know Urokodaki always cares and shows tough love and rigor to his disciples, but Tanjiro unexpectedly becoming his ultimate legacy must mean so much to him. Like a proud parent. This scene warmed my heart:  |
