Just a reminder that its been 5 episodes straight and still continuing that the animation is still lit and wont be extinguished any time soon. Pour water on it, fire extinguisher heck even Water Breathing wont extinguish this shit. I dont suck dick, thats reserved for my top 10s but Im making an exception on behalf of the orgasms Im getting from the animation.

Well I’m glad they at least performed the bait-and-switch by making it look like the protags are gonna lose (at least for now). The scene where Inosuke charged to decaptitate Daki was great, I am very much let down by the rest of the episode though.

More flashbacks and we even got the war movie cliche where a character says they should retire and start a family after it’s over. Tanjiro can still move because the plot says he needs to even though he has gone past his limit countless times. Also can’t forget about all the “anime time” where characters are frozen in place for minutes on end while the other characters think and do stuff.

I do not remember it being this bad in season 1.

For some reason i keep waiting for Nezuko to show up and steal the show once again XD (not a manga reader so i can hope hehe)

Everything was going good till the end. Uzui's hand? Chopped? Inosuke got stabbed? Zenitsu saved Tanjiro? TOO MUCH TO COMPREHEND! Please y'all stay safe xo

Every episode keeps topping the previous one, Never a dull moment. They're constantly dishing out god tier animation and soundtrack every episode. That cliffhangers has to be one of the most evil ones lol.

What the hell with the direction of this season. There's absolutely no enjoyment in any fight. Random flashbacks just keep coming up. Wtf? I don't give a fuck about any single character be it hashira or his wives. Can't you just fight silently. Poorly coordinated episode. Also tanjiro could you please shut the hell up like how zenitsu did. I wanna punch you face whenever i here those awful monologues

I am not manga reader but let me guess. Inosuke is alive and so is uzui. Tanjiro will still be lost in his eternal monologues like a stupid fucker.

First episode I'm not too crazy about. Feels like they used up way to much time to convey what they did. Shorten the fight already, I don't need to hear that much fighting dialogue (yes I know it's what makes shounen, shounen, but you can afford to be economical).

I did like the scene with Uzui and his wives. Had a sweet pastoral feel to it.

Crazy episode.

Inosuke was the man this episode. His comments in the middle of the fights may feel jarring but I still find them amusing and funny at times.

Inosuke’s charge supported by Tanjiro and Zenitsu was awesome. His plan to just take Daki’s head and just run around with it was hilarious. I thought things were finally looking up for our group until it wasn’t. ;(

Inosuke being impaled was quite shocking and Uzui’s lost an arm. Zenitsu is in trouble and Tanjiro barely has any strength left to fight. The situation is even worse than when it started.

I’m very curious as to how the story will proceed now.

From the title I though they would beat the Upper Six but instead it looks like they lost. Inosuke was really brave to just charge in without any defence but he managed to do it. Tengen lost his hand so I'm sure now he is probably a lot weaker than before. I liked when Tanjiro combined the water breathing and the Hinokami Kagura.

That was so epic and I was cheering and getting hype af… and then that ending! Things went south real fast! That scene with the trio fighting together was breathtaking though 🤩

This ep made me realise just how tough it is to be a Demon Slayer because the trio are so talented and strong and then you’ve got Uzui who’s skill is just mind blowing… and it’s still not enough!

We'll see how the author deal with these events now.

The way Inosuke and his comrades defeated Daki and cut off her head was exaggerated. Tanjirou just nearly died in front of her, and now suddenly they cut off her head easily. She suddenly became weak... The balance of power is being manipulated...

So, the title actually a wish from one of Tengen wive. They really got me hard there xd. Honestly, if some miracle comes down from the heaven and decided to answer her pray, Tengen-sama really need to consider himself a retirement from demon slayer job and flashy ninja way of lifes, then lives peacefully with your harem. Because, well that's ended not well to them, even Tengen couldn't hold the ground anymore and forced to give up his hand to be cut off. At least the trio shounen tried their ass so freakin hard to behead the sister, its succeeded. But, its still not enough to beat the upper demon siblings.

Don't give up sounds good as possibly the last episode to conclude everything all from their fight. Idk if the miracle like hashira reinforcement or some other flashy shit turn-table scene really help them out of those dang problem. However, one thing i wanna tell here, man, Tengen Uzui breathing form so far is the best from other form. A simple flashy with those fireworks...

Wow man, I guess I was right to assume the fight wouldn’t end this week lol, but it was an excellent episode, I loved the flashbacks of Uzui and his wives, always love to see more of them, and I especially loved our main boys fighting together, such a good moment.

It’s a shame it had to end with that insane cliffhanger, but next week will be here before we know it, and I’m sure it’ll be an amazing episode. Right now I’m just really hoping that wasn’t the last we see of Inosuke!

All I read in this thread are manga fanboys being mad at an adaptation. Jesus, did they come from Titans season 1 threads? Can't believe the Kimetsu fandom is as bad as the Titans one. I guess some things never change.

Also, I don't fucking care about the meeting. Stop spoiling me. There was no meeting spoiler in the opening nor in the ending, so stop talking about it. Moderators? Please? Delete some posts? I already got spoiled but this is beyond fucking annoying.

Also, the reviews that get upvoted when I scroll down the anime page... jesus christ. What a hellhole.

As for the episode, excellent episode, sundays have never been better. I just hope Uzui doesn't die. And Inosuke being poisoned but also stabbed in the back... well, time for some plot armor, huh. Fantastic animation as always. Cliffhangers this week have been very annoying.

I would say if the monologues were said calmly, instead of them shouting every single thing at the top of their lungs, there would'nt be so much complaints about them. Also, the anime original scenes are very out of place, they made it way to clear that they are for filler purposes, why cant they just do things like season 1? is it because the later arcs, are all heavily focused on fight scenes that there is too little content?

Honestly how many 'almost' deaths of the demons and slayers do we have to see... its lost its impact long ago. Theres so much this episode needs you to overlook to be able to enjoy it. Im not surprised if they all end up alive, all as in uzui cause the boys arent ever dying, there's too much plot armor to think otherwise.

Also its like everyone's nerfed for the sake of this showdown. Before Tanjiro had to go super saiyin to cut down the cloth demon down and keep up with the tentacles, now they're just banter. Demon brother was impossible to keep up with now sometimes u can sometimes u cant.

They made it seem that these upper ranks demon advantage is that they can fight forever without tiring which is why Kyojuro Rengoku died fighting that upper rank. Whereas now, they all injured beyond shit but they are still keeping up with unlimited stamina+regen upper rank demons???????? Itd make sense if they didn't draw this fight out soooooo long. Those extra *pushes* would be short lived but impactful, whereas now its just like for theatrics.

....Also... /nerf Nezuko

these cliff hangers are going to drive me insane... if Inosuke is stabbed through the chest + poisoned, the hashira has no hand and is fked up by the poison, and Tanjiro is realistically barely even able to do anything at all (including moving) and Zenitsu, even though he's fast as fuck, i don't see how they get out of this without some good old rage or sacrifice scene

Gonna keep it straight :
Pros :

2. Great cliffhanger

Cons
1.Pretty bad pacing
2.Super repetitive action scenes ( ribbon cutting scene )
3.Bad usage of slow motion.
4.Unnecessary flashbacks and too much monologues.

Aug.. Hello..? Are you guys alive? When's the last time y'all saw your families?

That was the level of movie rather than a single tv series episode. God damn. I personally am not a fan of demon slayer, but this episode entertained me visually, and orthotactically.

That three mains vs Daki was really cool to watch, and damn Zenitsu, you've been hiding your voice the whole time? Lets keep you slept for the rest of the series.

Wonder what's going to happen to Inosuke and Uzui. Gyuutarou sure is very strong.

Overall great episode with amazing visual and sound tracks.
