Tanjirou is one honest guy lol not to mention a stubborn one. Hmm pretty strong opening as well. As expected of LISA. From the visuals looks like we will have plenty of new characters that will appear. Nezuko's attempt to fit herself into that basket sure was fun. Damm Nezuko sure was impressive kicking off a demons head like that. But even more so was the fact that the demon remains alive without it being attached to his body. That battle sure was a close call though. So demons are vanquished by sunlight huh. Tanjirou's evasion of the traps after sniffing them out sure was impressive. Now that Tanjirou has become a initiate in the corps i think things will only become harder for him for his journey of getting stronger starts now.

The whole Nezuko in the basket thing is surprisingly cute. But looks like we've completed the whole find the old sensei and pass his entrance exam thing. Interested to see what this training will actually entail. We don't really know anything about the demon slayer ppl yet.

Kind of goofy episode and felt like it lost all the suspense and tension that made episode 1 provocative and emotional.

Nezuko staying as a girl in a basket is kind of unexciting and lame. I wish we could get over that plot and have her do more than be carried around during the daytime.

Would have preferred if the training to be a demon slayer took place at a school/academy instead of just at some random geezers house in the mountains.

Frictionjunction did not need Lisa.


I won't spoil anything, but you'll eventually get all the things you've mentioned above later (coming from a manga reader) :) (not exactly an academy, but a proper exam kind of like process; also Nezuko will get in some action later down the road, while not quite during the daytime due to sunlight)

I love this anime. I'm more than positive that this anime is one of the best of this season.
Apparently, demons are like vampires and zombies. The only way to kill them is by destroying their brain.

I thought it was very funny that Nezuko kicked the demon's head off with a kick. LOL.

Now begins the training of Kanjiro. What a thrill!.

Why did he rush!? seriously there was no reason to rush. Also if it's hard to breathe slow down and get lower where there is more oxygen, not only that if he was lower he'd be able to see the traps and wouldn't fall for them. But for some reason he decided to fall into every single one as if it was the only way.

This was a terrible episode, Also I dislike the fact that he couldn't kill a Demon that has probably killed f*ck tons of people including children.

So far so good this is my favourite anime this season

I love everything : the story, the characters, the OST, the general mood, the art (special mention to the use of a really nice-looking CGI, that's rare), the animation and the VA


I wonder how many episodes we'll get, butthis Spring sure is a nice anime season between this and Dororo

Ugh, that was somewhat disappointing. Not really impressed by the animation and the comedy is really unsettling. Its placed wrongly and it doesn't work for a show like this. This is going to be like Goblin Slayer all over again, pretty serious first episode, then turn off that edge in favor of Comedy and Fanservice.

Ohhhhhhhh what... All of my what...
This is just pure eyecandy and soothing for my ear. Those backgrounds, animation, breathing animations and soundtrack! And that ending!!
If this continues, this will surely finish as my AOTS!

I loved that basket scene, haha. At least it's not serious all the time which would be a little boring, good to see that.
Also like how Tanjirou told us that the air is thin and harder to breathe.

I gotta enlighten it again, but the art/animation is very pleasant to watch, this anime has this little thing that makes it interesting to follow.

I'm curious to see how the old man will train Tanjirou. Also the demon he fought seemed quite strong enough for a regular human, he can thank his sister who had a certain strenght.

This ep was a little of a letdown tbh
The beginning was way too light-hearthed to follow up a slaughter, and then it suddenly got darker again when the demon showed up.
I feel like the dark component and the battle shonen component in this anime aren't on the same page, which kinda fucks up the tone of the show entirely.
Also not the biggest fan of the fight as well, I understand u wanna emphasize Nezuko's chioce of helping her brother over eating, but c'mon, u can't have that demon at the mc's throat for like 5 mins without killing him, waiting for Nezuko to make her choice.
Still, it was fine I guess, not as good as I hoped for, but still not bad by any means.
(The cgi looked pretty good to me, I don't understand why people complain about the cgi in this anime so much)

Wow really hoped this would get better, but yet again with the constant inner monologues to the point of annoyance.

Monster of the week trope is a sign inability of the author to write a good plot so they introduce random ass villain to distract viewer with action.

Dunno what you people were expecting, for the story to always be depressing and Tanjiro to constantly be sulking? The comedy could've been much more intrusive than it was, and honestly I'm glad Tanjiro's not a constant downer. He's trying to make the best of his situation. Even when going through hard times, there are more emotions than just sadness. Things don't have to be super duper serious all the time.
Some of the CG looked a bit weird to me on first viewing, but going back it blended pretty well. The scene with him running through the traps was pretty intense. Good pacing too, the scenes felt a bit fast in the manga because of how quick you can read it I suppose.

Nezuko is so cute, now she must travel in the basket during the day.
Tanjirou spoils Nezuko so much and I do not blame him, she deserves it, besides being very cute when she tries to enter the basket.
Tanjirou continues his journey to meet Sakonji, but on his way he smells the smell of blood coming from a house and when they enter they meet a demon eating a group of people, the face of horror that Tanjirou put in was very well done, but poor Nezuko, her demon instincts were activated and the hunger to consume human flesh began.
Tanjirou has incredible reflexes, he cut the throat of the devil, but this have a good regenerative capacity.
Nezuko still has a fraternal bond with Tanjirou and this same help her to recover her sanity and she literally sends the demon's head flying with a single kick and the surprised face of Tanjirou made me laugh a lot, Nezuko has an incredible strength.
It is incredible that the demon continues to fight despite not having a head, moreover his decapitated head begins to regenerate a pair of arms.
Apparently Tanjirou is a hard head and that way he got rid of the devilish head and then goes to defend his younger sister, but to go with a lot of force pushes the body of the demon to a cliff and both fall, but Nezuko saves him in the last moment.
Tanjirou is prepared to kill his first demon, but the anxiety and fear make him doubt, but when he finally gathers his courage to kill the demon a man with a Tengu mask stops him and tells him that he can not kill the demon, the man notices that Tanjirou doubt whether he should kill him and finally the sun appears and the demon's head disintegrates.
Nezuko hiding from the sun is very cute, she immediately entered her basket and covered herself with a blanket.
The man in the mask introduces himself as Sakonji and he reprimands Tanjirou for his lack of composure and lack of determination, in addition to reminding him of the condition in which he is with his sister, but finally Sakonji asks him to Follow him to see if he has the ability to be a demon killer.
Tanjirou remembering Nezuko when she was human left me with a knot in her chest, she had a beautiful voice.
Tanjirou's test starts and he must return to Sakonji's house at the foot of the mountain before dawn, but the old man set traps and Tanjirou who for a moment was confident to pass this test now must deal with the hidden traps, but then he calms himself a little and manages to detect the traps with his incredible sense of smell and finally manages to reach Sakonji's house very badly hurt.
Giyu was the one who asked Sakonji to accept Tanjirou as an apprentice and apparently the old man has an incredible sense of smell just like Tanjirou.
Finally, Sakonji accepts Tanjirou as his apprentice.

The soundtrack continues to sound great, a job so well done, each sequence was well worked in regard to ambient sound and music.
The animation still seems incredible, the fight with the devil and the test of the mountain looked very good and the part where Tanjirou perceives the smell of the traps was of very good quality.
Today we had the pleasure of hearing the Ending and I can only say that it is beautiful, I love the sound of this Ed, we will also have LiSA for two.
The advance of the next episode is very adorable, Nezuko is too cute.

I remembered the pokemon sun and moon game when I saw Nezuko and the basket and when Tanjirou told Nezuko to enter the basket I could not help but remember Lillie and Nebby.
