Looks like ~1930 or something. 2/5 But it its arround 1930... it is taisho period. I cant see anything wrong with it I thought it was ~1500 or something. Well, I dunno about Japanese periods but it looked like your typical medieval setting. Before they've shown the city, that is. |
| This show is a masterpiece. Another great episode with a slight plot twist: Kimutsuji Muzan has a family?! I really like him as a villain. He has a strong and independent vibe. |

shane_nichols said: he didn't stay underwater for 5 minutes you know that anime stretch out everything,he stayed 1-2 minutes at best and btw 5 minutes underwater are nothing for a trained human, if you want to criticize something at least think before posting.Lol. I had training in thin air so I can easily stay underwater for 5 minutes. Lmao. That's just dumb writing. |
| Hmmm... Muzan looked really similar to the head of the Demon Killer squad. |
| This series really is all over the place in quality because this episode was much better compared to last week's in terms of pacing and nothing cheapening the plot (still not over that). But really don't like the design of our big bad, he looks like Michael Jackson. Kamiyan3991 said: I thought it was ~1500 or something.

I figured it was medieval or Meiji at the start but I saw the power lines in one episode (It was ep 1 or ep 2, I don't remember which) that was was a pretty good sign it was Taisho or very late Meiji era. |

| some insane twist going on i love it hahaha |
Ventus_S said: What you're overreacting this isn't anything near Ghibli, the crowd, vehicles and even the characters are CGI most of the time. CGI doesn't look exceptionally good compared to other anime either. The art never reaches the level Ghibli. It's certainly above the average but nothing special apart from the action scenes. Holy shit, this episode changes all my impression/ expectation about this series. I originally feel like this series is pretty generic and cliche at first few episode, but then this episode's plot and execution really blows my mind for a typical battle shonen series. The first half is the typical training/ fighting baddies happen in every typical battle shonen, but this episode really change the overall flow of the series and makes me actually extremely excited about the ongoing plot. As always, UFO production value is absolutely insane. Not only the combat scene/ frame beat the shit out of OPM S2 , the quality of background / scenery/ passengers of the village is like something out of Ghibli Film which really blow my mind for how a long-running TV series could achieve.    I checked some chapters of manga of first few episodes and was underwhelmed by the art and execution of the manga, but the anime transcend this series into something really special. This gorgeous adaptation is really what all the manga/ novel would dream to have in terms of quality and production value. This series went from 7/10 to 9/10 in my book now. |
| poop |
| Alright wtf is that second half. That was such an abrupt change from killing the demon in that village and an actually really touching moment with that dude to bam immediately in Tokyo -HOLY SHIT THE FINAL BOSS. Like we're kinda in the middle of trying to collect info on this guy, but then we just conveniently find him this early in the series? Alright then. I'm all for the twist where he's a real sicko pretending to be human but my brain was too busy thinking wtf we just started our Journey to really enjoy it. Well whatever, he's so OPOP he can turn a dude demon with a single slash so I'm sure he's gonna take off and let MC-kun here deal with this mess. |
| Nezuko is the worst type of character imaginable in a series like this, my god so disappointing. I also don't understand why she has that stupid thing in her mouth, she's no threat at all. He kept her alone in a big city, plot twist she gets captured next ep?? Someone threw me off saying it takes place in old time when newspaper or any from of spreading news in general didn't exist. Turns out we're in 20th century. So yeah there's no way not everyone is aware of demons who've existed for thousands of years. Unless there exist far less demons what the anime made me think so far or it's all way more complex. Not that bothersome just a thought So far it's mainly the high quality music and action scenes making me want to continue. Aside from some cool details it all feels underwhelming. |

Just know that it is intentionalcan someone PLEASE explain what happened to Tanjiro's scar? previously it was like half of his forehead and now he has this fancy stylish black mark-thing that doesn't look like his previous scar at all. I'm confused... |

Exactly, I noticed it thanks to the power lines in episode 1 Plus in the opening we clearly see Muzan wearing clothes that immediately made me think of Solf J. Kimblee ones in FMAB, which sets in the 1910s so I deduced KNY must set in the same kind of era too |

My supposition about that thing she has in her mouth : it should hide her teeth, 'cause like every other demon we've seen, they are sharpened, designed to bite flesh or even bones. So that would probably attract other people's attention, even if the wooden piece she wears in her mouth still looks curious lol Or maybe this is a security to make sure she would not bite someone in an access of anger or something... which is a bit dumb, since she could still remove it or use her nails to hit someone. Dunno ! I was only disappointed by the fact Tanjiro left his meal this episode... feeling hungry now, that caused me a small pain in the stomach. |

When every season you can only find about one or none of the anime reaching this level of production value in background and scenery, ofc I'd be shocked by it because nowadays this is nearly non-existent. (Well this season we fortunately got two cuz Carole and Tuesday has some insane production value too) Ofc I know is CGI, but this is CGI that used so well that it doesn't break the immersion, and actually look extremely nice. Note that we're talking about a long-running TV series, not a theatre film mind you. |

| I honestly thought it was set in an older period that just felt more modern, but then the city came in and then I realized it was kinda like shiki where big cities and electricity is a thing just... Its namely set in the far Country side lmao poor tanjiro being so out of his element, I thought it was hilarious personally also, first time I saw musan my first reaction was that he was quite the looker, personally u//w\\u'' |

Are you saying that a guy who trained for 2 years in an almost airless environment, can't stay underwater without breathing ? If they remain static. And you actually need to lower your heart rate. IDK know if you're being srs. Comparing underwater fight to freediving is just stupid af. Themousen said: Exactly, I noticed it thanks to the power lines in episode 1. Lol. I totally forgot about that. |
| I find it underwhelming that he already meets the last boss so early on. |

| @Ventus_S Agreed that the CGI doesn't break the immersion but it's still very noticeable. I just couldn't get behind the idea that it looks anywhere near Ghibli lol. They don't do CGI crowds and go as far to give each person detailed animation. Does 26 ep count as long running? Not that much for battle shounen. We don't how long it can keep its quality yet anyway, imo it's already inconsistent @Otorez Yeah I forgot about the teeth. I thought she could hide them with her ability to grow smaller. She could just keep her mouth closed anyway because she doesn't seem able to talk unlike every other demon we've seen. Doubt it's for security since she can kick a demon's head off I felt bad for the udon too, his dumbass not only wasted food but a broke plate. He better offer that old hard working man Nezuko's body |
| poop |
| Greatness level beyond expectation sasuga Ufo sama. Damn Muuzan is a heartless bastard he didn't flinch a bit even though he was with his family and I hope Tanjirou can get out of that situation safely. |
| For once.. Please... I want to see the process of Nezuko entering the box. Why do they always conveniently hiding it? I mean, if the staff realize that that was just ridiculous to fit a child inside that little of a box, then why don't they make it just a little bigger for it to make sense regardless of the source material. Sorry, I just want to see our cute little oni getting stuffed inside the box. I just can't help it. |

| This was pretty intense. Mizan gives off a really evil vibe. Nezuko keeps getting cuter. Love how she is super cute and super strong at the same time ππ |
| I'm really loving this show. My one minor complaint is that Tanjiro went from country bumpkin who had never lifted a sword or even seen a demon before, to an absolute demon slaying monster in just two years or less. Even in the qualification test, he managed to kill an old demon that had devoured seemingly dozens of people who were almost as powerful as him. And in this episode, his first real mission, he effortlessly slaughtered all three "selves". I'm kinda worried that by the time we meet the upper tier slayers, their power levels will be end-of-Naruto insane. I dunno, again, it's a minor complaint, but I think I would have liked him to struggle a bit and fumble into his power. |

| Excellent. Did everything a good shounen should. Nezuko is awesome, Tanjirou was awesome, and HOL-Y SHIT Kibutsuji is not fucking around. The soundtrack that played when Kibutsuji turned that guy into a demon was thrilling. These past two episodes have been fantastic, can't wait to see where this goes. |
| Muzan is a definition of a true villain. The guy just committed his evil act with no hesitation, on top of that he used the kid and the wife as a shield. The parting moment with Kazumi was emotional, Tanjiro's words made me want to shed a drop. |

If you can't wait for it then go read the manga if you don't want to read the manga then just wait a little longer. This will have 26 episode so they most likely reach the train arc. |
| Has anyone ever noticed or mentioned that Muzan Kibutsuji looks similar to Michael Jackson? I'm guessing Tanjiro has no choice but to let Muzan go and plan his next strategy because an all out confrontation in a densely populated Tokyo would go badly for everyone. Great episode 9/10 |

But, I'm just curious though, nothing serious. Little convenient details like that are less likely to miss my eye. Thanks! :D |

| Nezuko is just so adorable, and at the same time so strong! Tanjirou managed to defeat the other two submerged, mountain training was so worth for that fight, Nezuko fighting was so awesome too, and so cool when Tanjirou appeared from that shadow and saved Nezuko! Gotta say the animation as always is so awesome, so much satisfied with that animation and art! Kimutsuji Muzan made his appearance, and that moment was so intense, I wonder if that litle girl is trully his daughter, and we saw some of his power, he turned a human instantly into a demon only with scratch! |
 |
| Muzan is going to be a multi layered character I feel. A demon living among humans? It’s strange yet brilliant. I kind of figured from the beginning it’d be something like that. It was said that he wasn’t seen often and it makes sense. Hiding in plain site! He has to have some admiration for humans to marry and bare a child with one. |
| Oscar and Andre deserved better |
| A wild Kibutsuji appears! TanjirΕ uses Grab and Turn. Kibutsuji waits. TanjirΕ uses Hateful Glare, but it's not very effective. Kibutsuji uses Intimidating Stare. TanjirΕ is startled. Kibutsuji uses Moe Daughter Eyes. It's super effective! TanjirΕ loses 32 HP. TanjirΕ is still startled. Kibutsuji uses Stranger Slash! Stranger becomes Onified. TanjirΕ panics. Onified Stranger uses Koibito Bite. Koibito lost 86 HP. TanjirΕ is unable to move. But more seriously, this was a great episode. Not that I'm surprised, since they've all been great. The way TaishΕ Period Tokyo was portrayed was gorgeous. I loved seeing Nezuko say (non-verbally, of course) "I'm not a child anymore Onii-chan. I can protect myself now." This story has it all: the action of tense fights, the righteous cause, the tragic hero, the insurmountable villain the depths of whose depravity cannot be fathomed, the bond with a non-parental father figure, and (eventually) camaraderie with irreplaceable peers. It's a classic set-up, but classics become that way because they work. For me, this one works a little better than most. |

| I loved this episode as usual. So far, they're following the manga pretty well. Kibutsuji Muzan is one of my favorite characters so I am glad they finally introduced him and I can't wait for two more of my favorites to be introduced in the next episode. I believe they were featured in the opening. Anyways, Tanjiro dropping that udon will get him into trouble lol |
| θγ- |
| That ending tho... Quite thrilling episode overall. Tanjirou meeting Muzan was earlier than expected and the confrontation they had was quite tense to say the least. Not to mention that the idea of him having a human wife and daughter while turning other people into demons is really fucked up. Can't wait for the next episode! |
