| The fight is pretty cringey imo. Especially the Breath of Water Third Style part. That's exactly where sounds will prove critical. They just use quick animation showing the water dance with exactly no bgm which makes it weird. But on the other hand there's one good moment when Tanjirou got chased by those 6 balls. Good camera movement there. Also this one choked me hard xD |
 |
| Lol .. people whining over really minimal things in this thread .... shame on you |
 |
| Yushiro is such an annoying ass I wish he didn't regenerate! I'm loving the animation coordinations, Tanjiro's water style visuals along with the main visuals make a really mindblowing modern animation. I really loved this episode and as always I can't wait for the next episode. It feels like a short anime the way I enjoy it, because it ends while I'm still hot on it. Nezuko is the best non talking/human character this season |

| Great action scene, was so well animated. I had to laugh at the guy having a go at Tanjiro for not being able to see the arrows though? Like really dude, you got your head splattered off when you can see them. |
 |
| IDK for some reason this show reminds me of Akame ga Kill and thats not a good thing. Not the story but it just has that same vibe to it. |
| Great action-packed episode. The animation was outstanding as always. Tanjirou was having a hard time against both Susamaru and Yahaba but I'm glad he managed to beat the most troublesome of them in the end. I also agree with those who mentioned the odd pacing but honestly, it wasn't really a big deal. Anyways, looking forward to the next episode. |
shane_nichols said: How boring was this shit? Man generic ass villains and that red cgi arrow was so laughable. These are demons for God sakes and their in the 20th century. Get a gun ffs. Seem like a much bigger threat then throwing balls around. Did you even watch the anime? It said that demon can only be killed by cutting it head with a sword made from a special material. A gun do nothing since a demon just can regenerate, even if they make the bullet from the same materia, i like to see you try to cut someone head off in 1 shot. Also that demon throw a ball that hit like a cannonball, what gun can compare to that at this age. |
| very intense and engaging episode. this series is one of the very few I actually desire to watch more! the mixed 3d/2d was fluid and really impressive. one of my roommates asked "what is this god tier animation?!" (he was jusst walking by but ended up sticking through the episode even though he has no idea who anyone is or what the series is about). I honestly thought Nezuko was going to pop-off at some point when tanjirou fails to get a good opening in. but then i am kindly reminded that nezuko is the weaker of them all since she does not feed off human blood. im hoping to see more yushiro. turns out he's not as weak as he comes off. he seems to have a variety of skills and i wanna learn more. if tamayo was the one who turned him into a demon then im wondering how much of his power is inherited by her, if any of them are at all inheritable. And im wondering exactly how powerful tamayo is herself |

Demon also stronger than normal human, can regenerate, have super power. Why should they even bother with going through the trouble to obtain human weapons? |

| I enjoyed the episode but it wasn't the best. The next episode will be better because Nezuko is definitely going to strike back. My favorite part was Tamayo turning black and white when Yushiro suggested leaving Tanjirou and Nezuko to fend for themselves while they run away followed by a "I was just joking!" lol |
| 臭い- |
shane_nichols said: ah... no, I've seen enough Hollywood movie that had a gun fight in it, and I don't want another gun fight in Anime because That would be boring af.Bullets are faster. Demons slayers wouldn't stand a chance. I'm just saying make the villains more of a threat. |

-Stray said: There was so damn much dialogue in the fight and the worst part about all it is they were all on pause while Tanjiro was doing it. This ep bored the heck out of me, good cut on the final slash tho, t'was some epic shit, but everything that happened before that was horrendous to sit through. Welcome to shonens? There is always usually a lot of dialogue in a long battle, do you even shonen smh |

Eniie said: Florent3571 said: The fight is gorgeous and still a pleasure to the eye, but it was hella light on story, I checked the manga and it baffles me that they still don't understand that action focused episode should adapt something closer to 3 chapters at least, because the animation alone can't make a fight exilirrating, Bones understood that with MHA and they're nailing every fight, even when they're very talkative ones. Still a good episode. To be absolutely fair, season 1 of Hero academia adapted 1 chapter to 1 chapter and half. even slower than this. Only in season 2 they started 2 chapters, and season 3 started 2 chapters and 3 chapters per fight. If I remember correctly they already started to adapt 2 chapters and more per fighting episode in season 2, 2x10 is 2 and half, and 2x16 is 3, but I agree that the first season was definetly not a model pacing-wise. |
| Nice episode. Choreography and animation were on point as always looking forward to the next one. |
| There was a lot of action in this episode and all of it looked great on an animation stand-point. Not only that, but the 3D CGI used for some scenes also looked really good and combined well with the 3D camera work. Again, ufotable really knows how to utilise CGI in their action. =) Thanks to the Taisho Secret segment at the end of the episode, it was revealed that the two demons, Yahaba and Susumaru, both only met each other for the first time on this very mission of theirs. In such a short time, it's surprising to see hoe well the both of them are able to sue their combined powers so effectively. Yushiro was able to assist Tanjiro by giving him the seal needed for Tanjiro to see the arrows that directed the temari balls, but Yushiro did sound like a hypocrite when he had a go an Tanjiro for not seeing the arrows when Yushiro himself had his head ripped off by the classic case of element of surprise. Idiot... ¬_¬ Tanjiro also had full trust in Nezuko as gave it her all in this fight, but sadly, she's temporarily lost her lower right foot for the time being after she tried to kick the temari ball away from her. Once Tamayo helps her recover, I'm sure that Nezuko and Yushiro will sort out Susumaru in the next episode, even if it means dealing with Yushiro's annoying personality again. XD |
BlindSniper said: That flashback explaining obvious things to fill in time... Explaining every single motion in the battle down to "my sword is heavy but..." Is this made for 8 year olds or created by 8 year olds? Jesus Christ do I wish this budget could have went to another show because it's making me roll my eyes. This plot, directing, dialogue, characters, and everything but art + animation is garbage tier. Maybe even below garbage tier... This is Sword Art Online level of bad MC + every "demon" is the same exact overconfident boring character. Ah look at MR. I too good for this kind of show. He just drop in to say how the show is beneath him, how the plot and characters are bad without explain what make them bad. Also the demon being overconfident is given since they are stronger, faster than normal human while also have super power. It would be strange if they don't look down on human. |
| Didn't know Deidara and a Sage eyes user to belong in the 12 moon demons |
 |
| the badass fighting continues... really like the pacing of the show |
 |
| I got really mixed feelings from this episode As always the animation is perfect (and the CGI ! It's the first anime where it looks good and doesn't bother me) and the OST is gorgeous However the dialogues kinda ruined the tension created by the fight(s) and slowed down the rhythm of the episode I don't mind dialogues and speeches, even in a shonen, but certainly not during a fight Plus the enemies gently waited while they were talking, the balloon girl could have thrown a lot of balls during their discussion and the arrow guy didn't show up in the fight until later in the episode Besides that, that was a really great episode and Nezuko is soooo cute in each post-ending scene *w* |
zabadoh said: 2ego said: Eh, felt really bored with this episode. Now we get "The Twelve Moons" and I assume the story won't move on until Tanjirou defeats all of them. But that will only be part of the cure. Then Tanjiro will have to kill the "The Three Giant Cockroaches," "The Four Deadly Snack Foods" and "The Not Very Polite Sixteen" DupeusT31 said: This was the first episode I didn't like. These villains look so one dimensional and the Temari girl is annoying af. ... The way Tanjirou defeated the arrows demon saves the episode a bit. Who was the demon in the city Tanjirou was assigned to kill? Certainly not Kibutsuji, then who? Agreed with all 3 points. Multi Arm Demon from Final Selection had so much personality and backstory, that Temari and Arrow pale in comparison. This city seems to be crawling with demons including the big bad. So just when is Tanjiro's assignment here supposed to end? "Rumors of a demon lurking there" was a huge understatement! Then again, poor information and bad orders seem to be a theme with the Demon Slaying Corps. It never stated but i think the Ball Demon was supposed to be Tanjirou target. She relatively young and haven'fully develop yet since she only use her physical strength and not Demon Blood Art ( Demon will eventually gain Demon Blood Art after they develop enough) so we can guess that she just became a demon recently. Muzan there probably still there after turned her into a demon to observe. When he want to Tanjirou death,he call the closest demon in the area, which are those 2. Also don't worry about the 12 demon Moon stuff, they are like bosses scatter accross the journey, give Tanjirou a smaller goals so that he can develop and grow stronger before go for the Muzan. |
| The fight scene is amazing, great job Ufotable |
| This episode has me worried. With multiple instances of low quality CG versions of the characters(really low for ufotable, anyway), an unnecessary drawn out flashback followed by a complete replaying of the 10-15 seconds of footage before the flashback, along with a few more instances of moments from literally less than two minutes before being replayed, this doesn't bode well. With what a standout episode the last one was, it's a shame too. |
 |
| The fight scenes is so good this episode. Even the CG part is fine. |
 |
| Sasuga ufotable episode, amazing art and animation. |
 |
| Some of those scenes are absolutely brutal. Loving the art style. The animation is really top notch. Everything is coming together into a brilliant anime. |
 |
| for anyone complain about scene repetition in the middle of the ep, it used for the commercial break. . . the only thing bother me is the mc internal monologue, sometimes it is out of place. . . i wish we get the info about how the combat / technique works sooner cause it is make this series weak atm |

The breath thing was explained is like forcing the body to start pumping adrenalin, increase the user speed, strength and reaction time during the battle. The sword technique actually base on the characteristics of the elements(Water is adaptive, follow the flow while Lightning is fast and switf) |
Bikash1997 said: For those who are crying about the long fight scenes... Saying it has lot of talking.. Dude it's an shounen anime remember bleach, one piece, and how can we forget naruto talk o no jutsu, and there is nothing wrong with the fight scenes slow mo are cool, perfectly used cgi... Consider yourself lucky that this manga adaptation didn't get ruined like one punch man season 2... What these guys problems are🙄🙄 There are shounen anime that don't need to give a play-by-play during the action scene and pad it with endless dialogue. It's a trait of manga that needs to be left in manga and the anime needs to be animated. |

| A lot of great action in this episode. That demon had a lot of fun making Tanjiro fly around like that lol |
 |
| Ow, almost lost my cool when that Demon's head popped out. That was totally unexpected. I can already hear some scheme-y Manga-readers' laughter. Very interesting how Demons can lend humans their powers, and with a duo such as Tanjirou and Nezuko, they would be immensely powerful had she learned a similar technique. I don't know if it's a thing among certain Demons, but both Nesuko and that villain chick have redding and dark mix of hair. Is it alluding to something? Maybe indicating a class amongst demo,s or something. Maybe a clan thing, or better yet, got turned into demons by the same demon. Which is probably the closest thing to being correct. |
| Damn, this show dont stop impressing me, amaxing episode! Tanjirou's sword art atack sequences are always so amazing, and CG looked really great and this fluid aniamtion is so satisfying to watch! Tanjirou's final blow in arrow demon was perfect! looking forward next episode! |

The water effect is just visual and meant to be a metaphor for the sword techniques. All "forms" Tajirou is using are just sword moves with some modification when needed. hmm, so there is no mystical force / energy beam and only a visual interpretation / effect. his body movement + sword technique can decelerate a free fall, ok ok |

| This episode felt like it dragged on forever while nothing happened. It's becoming clear that this anime is pretty much all about the fights and dramatic moments, and nothing about characterization or plot. Twelve Moons? So we're probably going to get another 12+ episodes of Tanjiro fighting and defeating them before he can get to the Big Bad again. Except there won't be any narrative purpose because he's apparently already an expert demon slayer able to deal with any situation, leaving no opportunity for character growth. I don't know. It's hard to articulate exactly what is wrong with this show, other than saying that it feels generic and unoriginal. The main characters are all pretty much defined by their drive to defend loved ones and/or get revenge. Standard fare for action or fantasy characters, but they don't project any kind of additional personality or motivations into the narrative. They lack depth. |
