| Alright, Anime of the year!!! This episode is easily the best anime episode I've seen this year, nothing comes even close! Changing that score to 10/10! |

| What a fucking top tier episode, and holy shit that animation on Tanjiro's dad while he was dancing was smooth af |

| Ok, I know that fire dance thing was a huge ass pull, but God what an amazing ass pull! It's nice to see a shonen anime not use the standard "MC is so angry his inner demon takes over" trope for once. The fight was very well "choreographed" and the animation was gorgeous. They even managed to add some development to Nezuko there, which was much appreciated. Now, can Tanjiro please remove that thing from her mouth already? The girl has already earned it. Also, that sound Inosuke made when he realized he'd been tied was hilarious. He's slowly becoming a comic relief character, isn't he? |
| This episode left me speechless, it was absolutely awesome, really. Gotta love ufotable! |

| That scene was legendary, this has definitely solidified Kimetsu no Yaiba as one of, if not my favourite shounen jump series. |
 |
| Worst episode so far. Plot armor galore, not for 1 but for 2 characters. That was some big bullshit, I can't get over this so easily like everyone seem to do |

That’s why everyone seems to love it |
| Honestly, this was at least on the same level as SnK episode 5 But IMO, it was even better It's been a long time since last I got so excited watching an episode of any anime! |
|
| OMG This episode was soooooooo good! Everything especially in the battle is ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!! The animation is on a whole other level. It fits so well, it looks so good, it's simply EYEGASM!!! The new ED is wonderful, the flashbacks were wonderful, simple EARGASM!!! I was reluctant the whole time but this episode did it. This anime is a 10/10 and easily one of the BEST ANIME OF THE YEAR or even OF ALL TIME! At least it will be in my Top 3 now |

| The performance of this episode is absolutely phenomenal. It turns that typical shonen plot armour of mc turns op from a single flashback scenario into something special. I bet if I just read the manga, I'd actually hate on this episode, but the performance, animation, music, in combination of flashback is done so well I can't fault this anymore. Not to mention this villain is probably the best one so far throughout this anime series atm. UFO is literally the savior of Demon Blade. I bet most of the manga author would be so jealous... Some of them got even better plot/ combat than Demon Blade, but they never got studio this good to animate their series, and usually the anime studio turned their artwork into something far worse. |
| I have no words. The emotion and animation in this episode, it was phenomenal. The effort put in by ufotable really paid off. This is one of the best episodes I've ever seen. I was gasping and exclaiming throughout the entire fight sequence, and my eyes started to water. Clearly the best episode of the year. |
| Essentially 99 percent 5/5 if we disregard the obvious 4 trolls. |

I rated Kimetsu a 4/10 already, I don't want attention, I'm not a troll, nor an elitist, you can look at my profile to see how many anime I actually like and give high ratings :D |

Most of the people can, fair for them, I just can't. Sorry :( |

| Best episode SO FAR, the music, and animation, goosebumps all over my body only few animes can make me feel that, incredible job |
| I keep moving forward |
| OH DEAR GOD THIS WAS AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH UFO TABLE STAFF FOR BRINGING THIS TO DAYLIGHT. and here is some highlights of the show |

Nezuko is just the best. I think she will best girl of 2019 easily. I felt really bad for the demon. She just wanted to be a good sister. 🥺  |

NathanusMaximus said: Yet again Ufotable turn a measly couple of pages of manga content into 15 minutes if pure fucking magic. Ufotable are quite possibly the best animation studio in the world. The animation, the music, the voice acting, the pacing, so much goosebumps. During a time where animation in anime was gradually becoming worse, we were blessed to get a gift as beautiful as Demon Slayer from Ufotable and this episode was simply perfect. I legit can't find the words to describe how perfect this episode was because 'perfect' does not do it justice. Totally agree with you. They add SO MANY of their own creative shot in combat/ storyboard that's not even in manga at all, turning an above average series into something special. Don't get me started how well they put together the bgm and flashback. It is really magic. Usually when I see this type of mc plot armour I'd boo on it because I'm someone who always try to think more rationally, but I can't do the same for this episode. The execution is just too well. Really really wish more series I love get this treatment, but it'd never happen. More studios will turn my favourite works into dogshit or something mediocre.... |

That was some big bullshit, I can't get over this so easily like everyone seem to do so every demon has a blood art so why nezuko can't have it,and for being an asspull the new technique must have no explanation and they explained it. |

|
| Finally Nezuko was able to used her powers as a demon to her brother. |
| I have seen around 7200 episodes so far and this is the best anime episode i have ever seen. Ufotable really is something else. Did this series justice. + Kimetsu no yaiba is really good and interesting show. |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| There are episodes that make one glad to be an anime fan, and as I watched the absolutely God-tier execution of episode 19's music, art, animation, story, voice acting, memories, pacing, JUST 100% of everything, come together and play out before my eyes, before I knew it, I was standing, watching, with my heart in my throat, tears brimming at the edges of my eyes, shaking just a little with excitement, thinking to myself, "I AM SO HAPPY TO BE AN ANIME FAN RIGHT NOW. THANK GOD I FOUND ANIME ALL THOSE YEARS AGO." Ufotable does it again. They are so slick, I don't know how they do it, don't care how they do it, just pray they keep on doin' it. |
 |
| Great episode I love it I like Tanjirou, Rui and Nezuko and Love the song as well.As for manga readers who read these you guys know what gonna happen after this right. |
| That looked pretty incredible. The new breathing style kinda felt like it was just pulled out of his ass for convenience but whatever. Now we have the problem where every 12 beyond this has to be even more powerful till it reaches a ridiculous point. I mean with this new breathing every other demon should be cut like butter. He just needs to practice with it a bit. I certainly wouldn't have had our protag be strong enough to take out the "super elite 12" so early on. Nezuko unlocking a blood art was pretty cool tho. |
| Amazing episode. |
| These animations! This episode is by far the best episode of the year I've seen of any show so far this year! |
