| So, since demons gain energy by devouring humans, Nezuko might be weak for not having devoured any human before? that's the only reason I found to explain her comatose state. Four chapters so far and I can say it's an ok serie I pretty enjoy. Aside from its productive values there's nothing so outstanding, but nothing bad actually, it's an average shounen with potential and a promising development. Tanjiro is fine as MC, at least he's not a screamer boy or a crybaby so he's pretty tolerable and relatable, and Nezuko is cute as fuck, I just hope for her to become an actual character and not a plot device or a damsel in distress. Also, can we stop pretending a serie is a masterpiece just because its productive values? Controversies aside, Ufotable usually brings good animation qualities, not so perfect but good in general (I don't think it deserves so much unjustified love and hate), but that's not the only requirement to judge a serie IMO. |

Musaigen no Phantom World, Touken Ranbu, Tales of Zestiria and many others have the same production quality of Kimetsu no Yaiba, yet they are not considered masterpieces. So I think your point is not valid, ‘cause if an anime is all visuals but nothing more than that, it’s just trash for the mayority, even with pretty visuals. Kimetsu no Yaiba on the other side is appreciated by many. Soo, why is that? |

Indeed, when a serie is bad as those you mentioned, people know it, but when the serie is not that bad or it's actually decent and has that gorgeous animation, a lot of people point it out as better that it actually is just because its productive values. That's my point. Fate, Shingeki no Kyojin, One Punch Man, Boku no Hero Academia, Violet Evergarden and now this, for example. I'm not saying they're bad (well, my opinion about Fate and Violet is another discussion topic), but people tend to overestimate them for those aspects. Just look at some posts in this thread calling the serie a masterpiece JUST BECAUSE it's produced by Ufotable = Godlike animation. |

Just look at some posts in this thread calling the serie a masterpiece JUST BECAUSE it's produced by Ufotable = Godlike animation. That’s definitely true, visuals make KnY a whole lot better, but that’s the point I guess. Firstly, anime is about animation, so of course that’s the first thing people want to praise about. Secondly, this is a battle shounen, which means that most of the scenes are action ones, and of course if that’s one of the main points of the series, KnY appears more enjoyable. Honestly I agree with you, people overestimated this episode a lot IMO. I would have never expected a near 90% 5/5 of “loved it”, as I consider the first 14 chapters of the manga the worst ones. I’m not saying that this is bad by any means tho, as I’ve got to say, that Ufotable is truly doing an outstanding job with this one, and this is one of the rare cases when the anime is better than the manga (at least in my opinion). But well, if people are loving this series so much just let them be. Honestly I’m following KnY more for the plot and not for the visuals (I mean also lol but yeah) that’s why I said I would have never expected a 90%. |

RayReynolds said: nah, atleast my boy tanjirou does not yell "I want to become a magic king, Number 1 hero, Hokage and the pirate king" in every freaking arc.annoying and screamer boy like Asta seeks revenge and starts training to be a brute man at the point of effort and pain. Naruto stopped saying that in Shippuden, just to be worried about Sasuke lol |
| Seeing how good the action is so early on gets me hyped af for the insane fights that are to come. Great episode and adaptation as always. |
 |
| Great episode! I can't wait for the next one |

| The animations are so good. As expected from ufotable. Looking forward to the rest of this show. |
 |
| The Animation for his Water Slash is freaking amazing, it looks so damn nice and finally, his training paid off. I knew it that those kids were dead :( R.I.P |
 |
| demon in his final moments is probably thinking "i messed up BAD" |
| BTW, the way he cuts by seeing "lines" reminds me of Tsukihime's MC Shiki... LOL |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| what a gruesome death for the girl her arms and legs torn off, i didn't expect it to go that far. |
| poor kids; they were cursed without knowing it, all because someone wants revenge against the person who trained them. it's great that Tanjiro's found his footing & knows how to fight demons now. |
       |
| Such awesomeness this episode it was another perfect creation! So Sabito & Makomo were previous disciples of Urokodaki, too bad they didn't pass the Final Selection! At least Tanjirou ended the cycle of continuous disciple murderer of that abomination ass creature! that creature's existence was purely revolting! Wow so Tanjirou already able to manifest his katana-water-flow technique or something? lolz! i wanna see that water dragon from OP! it's gonna be hype! 5/5. |
 |
| OOoooh boy looks like i've found myself a good anime :) |

| that ending scene omg i feel so bad for the yellow haired kid now lmao |
| I guess this demon just wasn't handy enough. |
 |
| awesome finally know what happened to Sabito and Makomo |
 |
| It was nice to see that filthy demon getting decapitated. Looks like his training did him well and that he's going to avenge his master's other pupils. |

| THAT WAS EPIC. Awesome animation, it's a shame OPM fell so hard on this! |
| Ok you just can't introduce a cute loli in one episode and tell me she already passed away in the next one. |
| I had my suspicions, they were dead after all, huh, and they even said that other children watch him all the time, I can't help but link his sense of smell to all of this. I guess that's going to be his thing maybe? He did also see his family after they were dead too. I'm can't stress out enough how much I love this creepy demonic soundtrack that plays at every dangerous moment. |
| I didn't realize they died till I came here did they just kill them offscreen or something I'm confused! |
| That water slash by Tanjiro is so cool and unique, oh man I'm enjoying this show. I wish I didn't start this show so early with so many episodes left to air. This is the type of show I would binge watch with ease |
| So, they were dead after all but Tanjirou avenged them! |
 |
| mfw people seriously asking how Tanjirou can beat a demon that Sabito couldn't when the previous ep was him beating Sabito. |
 |
| Taisho? Keio? 47 years ago? 14th Urokodaki disciple? I did a search, Keio is only approximately 4 years, from 1865 to 1868. Adding 47 gets us the current year of this episode: 1912 at the earliest of the four year range, which is right at the beginning of the Taisho era, or in between years 1913 and 1914 but not later than 1915, all within the Taisho era still. I realized Tanjirou keeps babbling about "Taisho secret" at the end, which I should have taken as a clue before. I can finally put the context to several things which has been puzzling me, firstly the electric poles in the town from the first episode, secondly what Giyu's letter was referring to Tanjirou's potential to break through (the curse of continuous dead disciples) and finally what Urokodaki said about not seeing children die anymore. At least, Sabito and Mokoma can finally rest in peace now...probably. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Didn't expect Sabito and Makomo to be ghosts. It's sad that they didn't get to pass final selection. Glad Tanjiro avenged them. |
| The fact that Sabito and makumo were already dead is both sad and creepy man and what are they now anyway? Ghosts? Now I understand why that girl said there's a lot of them kids watching Tanjiro. Also that morphed demon was creepy af too, that limb-y mofo. Whoever oversees that event probably let him live on purpose to cull the herd even thinner so every year he gets stronger, that test produces stronger demon slayers. Clever. |
 |
| That was good :D I really liked the comic-esque animation of the slicing. V unique. I thought he had to cut the eye hahah |
| damn he sliced that thing up so smooth like that I can't not not believe it's not butter |
| Lmao I knew Koyasu was the one voicing the thicc demon Also the OST in this ep was SO GOOD also first appearance of pikachu boi woo |
 |
| I had thoughts that maybe Sabito and Makomo could've died eventually during their trials, but I didn't expect that kind of enemy seeking for vengeance. Eew, that demon is disgusting. Please defeat him already to avenge all students trained by Urokodaki. |
