| I dropped this in episode 3. Hated the awful and awkward tonal shifts and all the goreshit. But now looks like I'll have to give it another chance, I can't not know what this fuss is all about. |

But now looks like I'll have to give it another chance, I can't not know what this fuss is all about. awkward tonal shifts i can understand, but i haven't considered this to be particularly gory at all. there's a lot of blood to be sure, but gore is quite different. i do hope you end up enjoying it, though! |

| i gots the chills fam |
| I was blown away by this episode up there with some of the best of Anime ever. This is going to be remembered for a long time. 5/5 |
| Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. |
| Best episode so far. Simply flicking awesome! |
| ufotable's still got it, what a great episode |
 |
| Damn, just damn man, UFOTABLE you really outdid yourselves this time! That has got to be one of the most beautiful fight scene I've ever scene, the choreography if I may put it into words and most especially the timing of the music, it just moves the heart, holy hell, 5/5!! Also Nezuko spoke for the first time and unleashed her blood art. |

| Man... just wow... I have no words to describe this episode, seriously. Absolutely spectacular in every sense: OST, storytelling, art, animation, scenes progression, sequences composition, everything. And well, not to mention that I'm also a big softie when topics such as family and bonds between close people are addressed in anime or in any other media. So obviously, I ended up truly loving the way how said topics were handled here. It even made me feel quite emotional (almost in tears) if I'm honest, thing that has never happened to me before while watching a typical Shounen anime. Best episode of the year? who knows... Ep. 5 of Mob Psycho II was quite incredible as well. But that aside, for me, this anime is already an strong contender for AOTY alongside SnK S3 - Part II and the previously mentioned Mob Psycho II. |
Esquirtit said: @Ventus_S Uh HxH actually has a power system you know, this show is literally emotion>logic all the way through. It's effective though but if this had the production level of Dr.Stone it would've been some total ass H x H Gon Chimera arc, unlike Kurapika who went through a lot of trouble setting those restriction to got those power, just instantly set rule and tradeoff on spot and got the most op power boost to face Pito in an instant without going through training too. |
| Wow. What a great episode. Hopefully the rest of the show is this level of quality. |

To clarify I'm not in the camp that thinks this was bad, it was a wonderful episode. I just don't get why some of y'all act as if every shounen is the same. And what I'm about to complain about regarding this fight I don't consider objectively bad or anything like that I mean idk how you can compare these two, it's an entire different circumstance. Tanjirou just remembered some breathing technique his father teached him as a kid, we are to believe in a split second he was able to incorporate that technique and do some OP shit. It makes literally no sense at all that he never thought of it before, he went through years of training after losing all of his family (except his dog Nezuko). But that's because this whole story is ass, WHY the fuck was he not told fucking DEMONS exist after his father died, I wont get into that though. It's some complete retarded storytelling that he learned a breathing technique as a kid that supposedly gives you strenghth on the level of a demon, seeing his father doing some weird fire dancing, just everything about the background of his family and how he never contemplated about it before this fight is highly illogical. Gon didn't do the same thing, and at that point in the story he went through enough phases of Nen training and education, his abilities just weren't as complex as Kurapika's. His power up wasn't the same as Kurapika tho, he made it up at the spot due to his rage all according to the rules of Nen pre-established. He sacrificed all of his life force for a quick boost, there's no denying he was on the verge of death afterwards and looked like a roasted negro child. Another reason why I hate this story is Tanjirou x Nezuko. We fucking get it after 19 episodes, they have a strong bond. But other than her being a demon there were barely any interesting conflicts. So the ''pay-off'' this episode was uninteresting to me, it wasn't the first time they protect each other or anything, it was just to have an epic emotional power up. Also the antagonist this episode, I choked from laughing after he massacred his fake sister, his whole character and little story serve no purpose other than making Tanjirou X Nezuko look perfect. Nothing ambitious in the story, just props to ufotable for some truly unique artistic drawings some of the best shit I've seen in anime. That said this is my last rant but I don't see this becoming anything other than a weak 6/10 @Dab1za9 If you wanted to know more about my opinion |

Why is these power system not been explain to me through leighty exposition? I can't use my brain to interpret what happen, no it have to he explain completely to me. Also highly illogical? It like human is an emotional creature and not always a logical robot or something. I never stated that Tanjirou family know anything about demon, even the dance was just a ritual, a family tradition to them, pass down each generation. Only now does he realize the similarity of what his father taught him with the Breathing technique that the Demon hunter use. Also it already established that Breathing technique can give the user a boots in strength, Tanjirou simply try to combine his father teaching with his Water Breathing as a desperate move. Complain about the story keeping to it theme is the stupidest thing ever. It like saying why it keep showing our hero never give up when the theme of the story is never give up. Saying the antagonist have no purpose also showed that you don't pay any attention to the story. |
Esquirtit said: tanjirou's father isn't a demon slayer that was a dancing ritual passed generation to generetion in the kamado family,they don't know about demons,tanjirou didn't know that was a breath technique, and most likely he forgot about it till now that he remembered the past facing death.Ventus_S said: H x H Gon Chimera arc, unlike Kurapika who went through a lot of trouble setting those restriction to got those power, just instantly set rule and tradeoff on spot and got the most op power boost to face Pito in an instant without going through training too.

| Hot deym! Ufotable went full force on this one. Tanjirou using a new art form and Nezuko learning blood arts was awesome. This episode is on another level. |
| @nanashi796 Oh okay, thanks for spoiling I guess. That makes this power-up even more stupid though. Makes it even more illogical despite people claiming otherwise, why would this breat technique in particular make his hack and slash shit even stronger if his Dad didn't know shit about it. I mean the whole power system in this show is weird already so whatever. His Dad didn't know about demons and shit but random fags living close to him do ExaltedChampion said: Oh no, the story not 100% logical so it is bad. Why is these power system not been explain to me through leighty exposition? I can't use my brain to interpret what happen, no it have to he explain completely to me. Also highly illogical? It like human is an emotional creature and not always a logical robot or something. I never said I need a story to be 100% logical, but I expect it to make sense to some extend. Care to explain why his Father never told his wife or son about demons? He looked quite sick, if he knew he was going to die you would expect he would at least tell his direct family demons are raping humans in the same area they live in. Am I not allowed to have opinions on this show lol? Well I've been proven wrong on this part but we can still switch his father with the senpai living down the mountains in episode 1. Or everyone in this world who knows about demons and breathing techniques that make you capable of fighting demons lol. I guess Micheal Jackson infiltrated the government or something and fucked things up who knows don't need any spoilers ExaltedChampion said: I never stated that Tanjirou family know anything about demon, even the dance was just a ritual, a family tradition to them, pass down each generation.

I'm saying it's retarded how only the Demon Corps and their allies seem to know about demons and some random fags but not the whole world. Haven't they existed for centuries? I just hate how we know so little about their world, it makes everything feel so meaningless. Do we even know if there are any humans who after learning these breathing techniques became corrupt and started using their powers against humans? We're just not on the same page, I've always hated how this story went for shockfactor in the first episode without some proper build-up. I called it a wonderful episode anyway just a lot of things bug me I guess they needed to go so far with this life flashback before death to literally learn a whole new ability again without ever explaining why that shit even made him stronger. No wait he probably does have some old ass relatives who were demon slayers jeez ExaltedChampion said: Complain about the story keeping to it theme is the stupidest thing ever. It like saying why it keep showing our hero never give up when the theme of the story is never give up. Saying the antagonist have no purpose also showed that you don't pay any attention to the story. Oh yeah we need his blood that contains aids as a potion for Tanjirou's dog named Nezuko. The retarded psycho antagonist straight out of Paranormal Edgelord Activity and his fake family served as a parallel to Tanjirou's family, you know to again and again explain why their bond is so coooooool! I'm saying this whole brother x sister demon thing is boring for the most part, only for fights is it cool. Just my opinion dude. |

| poop |
| untill the half of the episode i thought it was just regular and even a bit boring, but the other half was epic! seeing tanjirou's dad and him obtaining this dance was really good and well edited. also nezuko with the new art - she truly deserves a power upgrade so its really great! this episode was great and probably way better than before but it really bothers me what he'll do with his sword.. i thought it would be like a legendary sword or something . |
| @Esquirtit you don't seem to even read the respond or pay attention to the show. 1. Demon is like myth, and in the time period of the story, old stuff like myth and legend started to sound silly to most people. The old guy telling people about demon was seen as crazy or something old grandparents said to scare childrens 2. Tanjirou family know nothing about demon, i even doubt his father even know, the dance for them is just a tradition dance that pass down through generations, so does the earing. Up until ep 1, for them demon is like myth and story. 3. There a very popular trope in Wuxia, powerful technique got lost overtime but actually been hidden in plain side using poet, statue, dance or painting. 4. We can clearly see that Tanjirou did learn the dance before, his father probably pass it to him before he die sicne he the eldest. Only now does he realize there a connection between the dance and the Breathing technique that the Demon Hunter use and try to combine it with his Water breathing. |
| i've never fucking cried to an action scene before but here i am, crying to the last scene and i'm just wow. astounded that an anime could make me so emotional. ThatShiny_Hex said: bless. ufotable is so fucking good for this anime.unlimited budget works Ferien said: well, the goreshit doesn't end tbh, its the same but i watched it for the characters and story. also have amazing visuals is a plug. there is NEVER a moment when i'm like "oh, someone [animator/artist] got lazy here."I dropped this in episode 3. Hated the awful and awkward tonal shifts and all the goreshit. But now looks like I'll have to give it another chance, I can't not know what this fuss is all about. |
| Everyone: Great episode! Me: WAIT NEZUKO CAN SPEAK?! |
| @ExaltedChampion 1. That doesn't make any sense, families get slaughtered and people disappear all the time. There are hundreds of young demon slayers, do they not have families who they still speak to? We do not even learn what the rules are within the Demon Corps dude. We're talking about people who've fought with demons for centuries. What about all the people Tanjirou saved? Do they get brainwashed? How do Demon Slayers even get notified? I remember in one episode, two children went after a demon who kidnapped their brother, you're telling me they didn't tell something to their parents? So much weird stuff 2. It just doesn't make sense 3. Cool power up I guess but whatever 4. So much plot convenience all to make everything seem so mysterious when in reality it's just gay and stupid |
| poop |
| The animation of the fighting scene is so good!! That's the best I've seen so far! (I haven't seen so much shonen though) but it's so amazing! Ufotable really do it great! I can't watch Nezuko's pain, I feel the pain too!! I'm glad they didn't put much suffering to Nezuko, plsss .. don't hurt Nezuko!!!! Huhuhu |

| The story was okay, but the presentation was breathtaking! Didn't realise this was the nineteenth episode. The pacing is slow and nothing much has happened so far. Also, the animation quality hasn't decreased at all. Actually, I feel like the animation just keeps getting better! I got confused when Nezuko spoke since I wasn't used to her voice. |

Most of the people who joined got their live ruined by the demon, they probably don't even have a family to comeback to. People die all the time, yes. But back then, before all the telephone and transportation vehicle was widely use, life in most region pretty isolated for the common people. People disappear usually got blame on animal attack or they just pick up and move. And you really think people will belive the survivor about stuff like man-eating demon, no, they blame that on wild animal or hallucination. Finally, does learning about the every rule of the demon slayer corp, every single detail about their organization contribute anything to the story? Exposition should be used to enhance the story when needed, not the main focus. The story follow Tanjirou, we learn new thing as he learn new things. Remember that Tanjirou only have done like 3 missions, he still new to all this stuff. 2. A family tradition that pass down for generation doesn't make sense? Or the fact that they don't know anything about the demon cause i already explain that in 1. Tanjirou father is just a coal burner, of course he don't know about stuff like that. |
oreki_hoitarou said: nope, even without the comedy it wont be anywhere near fmab and aot. but still good anime tho, and this episodes especially last 5 min was a total bombThis episode was the best thing I've ever seen. I just hope they avoid the comedy character then maybe we say goodbye to Aot and fullmetal and say hello kimetsu no yaiiba |

| @ExaltedChampion You wouldn't be able to answer me if I asked why the Demon Corps never tried to inform the public, or what they tried to do but didn't work. It's not like it was impossible in those times to spread knowledge. |

tzarye14 said: I'm gonna be honest. That last move was clearly an asspull. And it wasn't a very good one overall. Even Fairy Tail does asspulls better and they have one each arc. But I give credit to what the writer wanted to do and to the production behind this episodes. 7/10 Nah, Nothing comes even close to Fairy Tail when it comes to asspulls.They do it consistently with no forshadowing unlike in Kimetsu. |

It's not like it was impossible in those times to spread knowledge. Lol Tanjirou has trained for years yet we don't even get insight on what being a demon slayer means beyond slashing hard and saving faggots. There was an episode where I had to believe 2 kids went after their brother after he had been kidnapped by a demon the night before. No further explanation we just have to accept demon corps knows everything, no idea who the kids informed. He killed a bunch of kids in his pedo house before yet we don't get to know why he had not been taken care of earlier. Also a bunch of generic npc demon slayers all being sent to their death in this spider arc. He's supposed to be in an organization that works in the shadows but we don't even know what the fuck's happening on the surface other than demons killing some humans. Some cure is trying to be made and shit. Am I not allowed to think it's pretty boring and hard to get invested in so far, action sequences aside I guess I'll just have to suffer through more shit to get to the good stuff, post spoilers on my profile please |

Freakboy69 said: he just copied the movements of his father, copying moviments isn't a difficult thing,he was already trained in breathing,but right now he can't use this technnique always he isn't trained enough and has he stated after using it he's done,he can't move anymore.Veromaye said: Actually, it isn't an asspull. Tanjiro was somehow trained the dance, he just used his demonslaying techniques to adapt it for fighting, not only this but his father was a demonslayer, so how is this an asspull? In regards of Nezuko Ability, how is this an asspull if she's clearly a demon, we've been foreshadowed thousands of time that she's an odd species of demon, and she can also have a demon technique. Why is she awakening her technique by this circumstances odd? It was perfectly placed for her. You know how would've have been an asspull? That she was just passed out and suddenly attacked with no form or connection to make that technique. Or that Tanjiro didn't knew anything about the sun dance, but he did, he learned it since he was little. Him remembering it in a situation where your life passes in front of your eyes ( Like it did with Zenitsu ) is not asspull, is a perfectly good way of making a character recreate a hidden power. It's understandable that at first glance you see something unexpected as an "asspull" or "powerup" but it really depends how the process of the characters releasing is made. Then if we just categorize this fight as an asspull, there's no shounen or even seinen anime that doesn't do an asspull, no exception. It was a Deus Ex Machina alright, an amazingly animated, epic one nonetheless. We may have known his father was indeed a Demon Slayer earlier in the series, as hinted by Muzan, but in no way was the dance ever mentioned or foreshadowed. We see his father performing the Kagura Dance literally a minute before showing us that Tanjiro actually knows it and remembered it. |

| Bloody hell, ufotable, when I was expecting an epic clash between Tanjiro and the Twelve Kizuki spider boy, you exceeded my expectations AND then some, didn't you? XD That fight scene left me speechless at how incredible it was. It's as close to perfection as you can get with the animation, god-like insert song and the voice acting. I can't think of any other words to describe that fight scene other than perfection. As for the others, Inosuke was rescued and, for his own good, was tied up to the tree so that he won't go off and injure himself further with another fight(LOL). Zenitsu should be on the road to recovery now that Shinobu gave him the antidote needed to destroy the poison inside his body. Get well soon, buddy. =) But the MVP of this episode was Tanjiro. Even with his sword snapped, he gave it his all with his water breathing techniques and also had Nezuko to thank for when she blocked a potential fatal attack aimed at Tanjiro, before she got held hostage by the spider boy by force. Th flashback to when Tanjiro's father was alive and how he performed that dance was lovely. Not only for the animation of the dance itself, but the important breathing technique that his father used to help him dance longer, despite his body being frail. Then led to the amazing fight scene and Nezuko also muttered her blood demon art that helped Tanjiro win his fight. Both siblings did an amazing job. ^_^ I think it's safe to say that this episode will probably be a big contender for the best anime episode of 2019 and is definitely right up there with Attack on Titan's 5th episode from Season 3, Part 2. This year has been fantastic in terms of excellent fighting scenes and I hope there's still more to come with this show, as well as the upcoming Autumn season of anime, too. =D |
| whaaaa, this episode couldn't have been more awesome!!! absolutely amazing. loved every second of it |
Valval0Aug 12, 2019 4:52 AM
| Amazing episode for me, family/friendship power ups are rarely done well in anime, and I personally think this was executed really well. Mostly thanks to the animation, color choices, music choice, etcetera. The animation and music had me with literal goosebumps and by the time the credits rolled my jaw was open wide like it was about to hit the floor. Beautifully animated scene. Anyone would try to "pull something out of their ass" in an effort to save their only family left alive being crushed by a spider demons threads. It's natural human emotion, honestly. Just amped up to 100 because you can do that with this type of medium. That's my take on it, at least. |
