| Wow they really, *really* tried to make that releasing of paper airplanes the most dramatic TV moment of all time lmfao. I thought I was watching the Disney Channel |
| I don't care if it's the training arc, that doesn't mean it's interesting. It's okay to say a popular anime isn't all that good. And if you think it's because I'm an action junkie, the Swordsmith arc was also extremely mid. It seems like the story and pacing have taken a super downward trend. Entertainment District Arc was easily the highlight of Demon Slayer. Even the first season was pretty average shonen anime. The more I think about Demon Slayer the more I realize it really is just a mid tier shonen. I'm not going to stop watching because I truly believe you should watch things that are bad to understand what's good even more. I understand why it's popular but I wish people would stop using that as a reason to say it's exceptional. |

Feels like a lot of the Corps members bit off more than they can chew by becoming demon slayers, no one outside of the main characters and Hashiras can do anything 😭 like idk if I would even trust most of these guys as backup support at this point lol.
Not sure what they were cooking with the paper airplane part lmao, but I wish the Hashira 2v1 was longer.
Because training and no flashy action and pretty colors = filler, apparently. And yea there's a lot of anime-original filler in these episodes but if they did this arc in 3 episodes and moved on I guarantee people would still be bitching about it. Damned if you do damned if you don't.

thebrentinator24 said: It seems Kimetsu no Yaiba lives rent free in some people's heads. They feel compelled to criticize it at every turn. ;p Story-heavy moments are considered bad because they want more action, and action-heavy moments are dismissed as the story being basic. No matter what the show does, they seem to find a reason to complain.Because training and no flashy action and pretty colors = filler, apparently. And yea there's a lot of anime-original filler in these episodes but if they did this arc in 3 episodes and moved on I guarantee people would still be bitching about it. Damned if you do damned if you don't. This happened several times before, like during the anime adaptation of the Entertainment District arc. There were viewers upset that the show didn't jump straight into action, and most likely the same people later complained about Kimetsu no Yaiba being nothing but flashy fights after the build-up phase ended and the action started. I sincerely hope these are just frustrated kids who are seething over a cartoon, not adults acting like spoiled brats who who can't tolerate other people enjoying something they don't enjoy themselves. Or watching it. Or even said thing existing, lol. |
| This is how you write a bad training arc. If you had just made the Hashiras fight each other in every episode for training, it would have been 100 times better. Instead, you watch NPCs getting trained who won't be relevant for even one second in the future, getting dialogues and such. Who cares about these fodders? |

Great episode it seem warming up to get ready for battle
| @Seeker18 Ok episode. There will be no good fights this season. |
| that damn ost hits so good every time i’m unironically loving this season this ep was hype |
 |
| Idk much aerodynamics and whatnot but it's probably that beak thing that's on Tanjiro's paper plane that's keeping it from flying longer. Also this number 4 demon is probably the lower one isn't it? |

I hate the people on this app. Please guys calm down, if you don’t like it, say that and move on. I could go on and on about how much I love this episode and the whole season so far, but I just will say it’s amazing and that’s it.
| @Infinitymoon Base on your own logic: If you dont like reading comments that you don't like, dont use the internet. You're not forced to use this site nor are you forced to read those opinions differ from you. See how stupid this logic is now? |
| I wasn't expecting this episode to feel more wholesome than I ever expected, but if it's done well, then I'm all for it. =) Tokito switching from his emotionless self when training the students to smiling like a kid when Tanjiro appeared was very cute. It's still feels unusual seeing him switch it up like this, but you can tell how much he's grown since the previous arc. Not only that, but it went from sword training to making paper planes, which was the wholesome part of the episode for me. Although it was a brief spar, I did enjoy Tokito going at it with Iguro and Sanemi in a 2v1 battle. It was nice to see more action scenes which ufotable performs so damn well at. Next up for Tanjiro is a visit to Mitsuri. I see the next episode having more cute and wholesome moments whenever she's around. XD |
| If it wasn't for 1.25/1.5 speed, I'd already drop this. I'm still close to. There's no trace of the first season here. Just God awful humour and half-assed filler characters. I guess they count on only die hard fans making it so far into the series and assume they can get away with making crap like this. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| This episode especially felt like a slice-of-life spin-off to the main series. Kind of like those end-of-episode comedic shorts. I guess I'm fine with it, even if nothing of substance is happening. It's just good to check in with familiar faces and see what they've been up to, even if it's not much. But it must be really frustrating if you were breathlessly anticipating the continuation of the story (which thankfully I wasn't). |
| So now Tanjiro is going to train with the Love Hashira which is interesting because her birthday was two days ago(June 1st). |
 |
| Tanjirou really sabotaged himself by putting that "beak" on his paper airplane D: Lots of characterization for Tokitou this episode, which I truly appreciate. This season sure is making wonders at fleshing out each Hashira. Tokitou vs. Iguro-Sanemi was short but still a very cool fight. So Mitsuri next, huh? Guess there won't be any combat next episode then? |
| This might be the most embarrassing training arc I have ever seen in my life. Every episode is 19 minutes of NPCs on screen for 1 minute of something that might be interesting. The Hashira should be training among themselves (as happened for exactly 9 seconds in this episode), and the NPCs should be off somewhere else. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| skipped through half of it pretty much.... Zzzz |
| I never thought Demon Slayer would stoop this low of making a filler episode flying paper aeroplanes 🤦🏽♂️ |
| Echhh. DS is not even trying to pretend it's a little more serious. Paper airplanes, really? C'mon, technically it's solid production, but if THIS character development was so needed, then I'm fine without it. |
| This episode was all about Muichiro Tokito so my heart is full 😭💚🖤 He's my most favorite Hashira among them all! I don't want him to die but-- |
| And Tanjiro joins the "Sword group" (whereas the other one was apparently the muscle group, lol) But it looks like the weak ppls in here are just being punch bags for Muichirou, lol. - Tanjirou really sabotaged himself by putting that "beak" on his paper airplane D: But it looks so cool, :D LOL The design isn't that bad, but he should have also added some weight (more folds) to the back wings to make it balanced. Adding weight to the front and back of plane can actually help it fly faster in a race, however it won't be able to drift longer. (which hilariously... they were having a contest of "flying longer in a straight line" and not a "race") . I guess the paper airplane helps them in "unity". . And now we're onto the seggLove Hashira |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| There is definitely some differential treatment for Tanjiro, haha. I know this arc is progressing too slowly, but I can't help that both this episode and the previous one have made me happy. In this one, seeing Tokito laugh after the entire previous season is wonderful. Additionally, the fight between the pillars has left me wanting to see more of the same. |
 |
| Another filler episode as we all know already. This time it's for Tokito. He is very skilled at his age and ready to take on anyone for sure. That paper kite scene is nice and wholesome. :) |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Not much is happening but its fun without the constant screaming from Zenitsu and Inosuke. |
| Wow, 5 days and he advanced to a new goal!!! kekeke |
