Rama_pt said: Um...like, i get it, this ep (or at very least those last 10 min or so) 10/10 (9.5/10 if i´m picky about some things) don´t get me wrong, i rewatched some times, but this whole because of that final part suddenly the show is 10/10, it´s like, please take a deep breath. I like UFO, i like them a lot ever since the KnK days and they are my favorite studio, but this cries like this is the best anime ever made... Let people enjoy their moment, different tastes for different folks. Noticed a lot of people have struggles accepting that and I've only been here like a day. |
| Tbh although I like the show, I can't understand why people like this so much. It has amazing animation, but everything else... I'm not really feeling it |
| ufotable DID NOT have to flex on us like that with the production of this episode, if this anime doesnt win "Anime of the Year" then ill lose all faith in the anime community. NOTHING can top this episode. |

Stark700 said: How is your eye-sight after watching these many anime?THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Of course Tanjirou wouldn't hand over Nezuko so easily. I mean, come on...after everything they've been through in this series so far. I see they adapted the part where the demon took Nezuko by force. Nice to see they kept the violence in tact. Facing off against one of the Twelve Demon Moon is no joke. The enemy this episode is on a different level compared to regular demons. The Tanjirou family flashbacks were also really touching. |

mrboko1234 said: Anime series are made of many episodes not just one therefore community can choose other anime especially if episodes are consistently good/good+ of other shows. How many episodes of KNY are 90% or 90%+?, well at least Kny has good number of episodes in 80.00% and above than that in 80's %age.ufotable DID NOT have to flex on us like that with the production of this episode, if this anime doesnt win "Anime of the Year" then ill lose all faith in the anime community.

I CRIED AND REWATCH THIS EPISODE LIKE EVERYDAY! well im not exaggerating, but this is the truth and i know y'all just witnessed it in terms of animation, ost and story was so damn PERFECT!

I am not saying the story is bad or anything. Fate/Stay Night ubw had amazing animation too but i hated it because how garbage its story was compared to its prequel. So the people saying its all because of animation only aren't right either but when it comes to writing i would have to say aot is the superior one. also you probably said what you said because you haven't watched aot yet so go and do yourselves a favor and watch it! ;) |

Freakboy69 said: Lol, my point exactly. This guy is just assuming stuff that was literally never mentioned in previous episodes and they pulled it all in a single episode in under 5 minutes. Both stuffs were explained and foreshadowed, nothing that they build here was randomly thrown to the public. They don't need more than 1 episode ( not even a whole episode ) to explain stuffs that don't really need an expanded explanation if the point is making an impact to the audience like it did in the ep. Otherwise it wouldn't have felt as amazing and impressive like it did. It seems that: 1. You don't pay attention to it because poor attention span 2. You aren't even watching this and just came to piss off because the anime suddenly became praised because it deserves it. You can't tell me that "aww it's because it's boring so how could i pay attention to it" lol. Smh people hate talk no jutsu but when a character makes something amazing with decent amount of explanation, people get triggered because that should've explained in ten arcs. But we all know that you and most alt accounts are just mad because Yaiba is being heavily praised ( thing that it does deserve ) and your current favorite anime doesn't. Like people who is watching Vinland saga are so triggered by this that they started talking shit like "At least Vinland has story unlike KnY" in the anime ep discussion????? Extremely childish community attacks again. |
cockblockpolice said: Did u even watched season 1 to s3p1 because you don't even know how important the story was in those last 4 episodes or were you watching it just for the action?Alex_Amor said: no i was watched the last season and i dont get it why u could say it gets better? the pacing, the story and character still boring for me nothing special and overrated imo wait are you in the 1st season? ye 1st season had pacing issues and is my least fav season but it only gets better and better from there. |

| safe to say the animation boards will be seeing that last scene frame by frame for a long time, cause holy shit! that was great! |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
cockblockpolice said: if it is not your cup of tea and you don't like those elements in your story that is fine. But the devil things was not outta nowhere as if I m remember two things from ep. 1 of season 1 of AOT then colossal titan appearance and Eren's dream come to mind which were more devil/magical than science and then in ep.2 grisha was coming from somewhere and it was the place that you saw in season 3 part 1. Then there is an side story ova called ilse's notebook which came way before the reveal and it also foreshadowed the reveal. Foreshadowing was at many other places before the basement reveal.puneetsingh said: i watched all the season and yes i know the basement reveal is the key in aot, but for me the reveal is kinda disappointed like the devil things out of nowhere. i was expecting that titans made from some science/military but im wrong. and most boring of all is the politics of aot made me lost interest in aotNo he is talking about S3p2. I think he didn't even watched season 1 to s3p1, therefore he was skipping scenes after ep.6 which are really important for the story. I maybe wrong about him but everyone who has watched AOT completely knows that how important was the basement reveal. |

| I think its ridiculous how people try to take away from this anime by criticizing the plot or characters. Its a Shonen, not Citizen Kane. If the story is so incoherent, that you constantly have to question its development, so much that it takes from your viewing experience, then you might have applied the wrong standards. Maybe you missed the point. |
| Masterful Animation? Yes ...but, it was pretty much standard 'MC is about to die so develops some never seen before power to defeat the enemy', which is standard shounen, so not sure what all the fuss is about. |

2ego said: To me, everything was fine up to this episode, the last five minutes were horrendous in terms of story I believe. "criticizing the plot or characters" should be done, not doing that would result in bad shows having good rating; which is already happening these days. The massive nonsensical powerboosts by Tanjirou just made no sense at all, shounon or not, it was the first time this show did something so abrupt. The sudden power-up is a very common trope in this genre. Its about overcoming adversity in a moment of truth. Its do or die. I understand that it distracted you too much. But me personally, I was genuinely surprised. I expected a different trope, the "fail and be saved by a stronger senpai" trope, and got my expectations subverted. |
2ego said: Heard this episode was "godly" or something, and I do agree that the animation was "godly," but overall, uhm, no. The twelve demons are really powerful, that's for sure. Considering Tanjirou couldn't even slash pre-transformation father, him slashing the default threads by the demon made no sense, the demon made the threads even stronger afterwards, and so Tanjirou received another out-of-nowhere powerboost, a literal ass-pull. Well, that was a big disappointment. Dude, if u paid attention, u should know that Tajiro was using the tenth water form to cut the threads. He attempted to use it to cut the Father demon but got blasted away before he could do so. There were also quite a few clues in prevous episodes that Tanjiro was connected to fire somehow. |
2ego said: Theorder14 said: don't, just don't. He clearly said "I can't cut these" but the next second cut them. Just because "he's connected to fire" doesn't imply it makes sense, since it doesn't.Dude, if u paid attention, u should know that Tajiro was using the tenth water form to cut the threads. He attempted to use it to cut the Father demon but got blasted away before he could do so. There were also quite a few clues in prevous episodes that Tanjiro was connected to fire somehow. I clearly meant the default threads.Do i have to quote you? "Considering Tanjirou couldn't even slash pre-transformation father, him slashing the default threads by the demon made no sense". He cut the default threads with the tenth form. He never got to do so against the father demon. |
cockblockpolice said: strongly disagree, this episode ALONE CANT make the anime deserve an aoty. Totally agree this episode was godly but aot still far better overall (for me at least)I LOST MY WORDS LOOKING AT THIS MASTERPIECE OF ANIME! EVERYTHING WAS A PERFECTION!

2ego said: Theorder14 said: I'm talking about the scene all-together, not just that one part.I clearly meant the default threads.Do i have to quote you? "Considering Tanjirou couldn't even slash pre-transformation father, him slashing the default threads by the demon made no sense". He cut the default threads with the tenth form. He never got to do so against the father demon. You said that it didn't make any sense that Tanjiro was unable to slash the father since he was able to cut the default threads. I'm simply correcting you that Tanjiro never used the tenth form to cut the father. That's all. |
2ego said: Theorder14 said: Then correct me on this one: after father transformed, he was slain in an instant by Tomioka Giyuu, and then Tomioka Giyuu said this: "This demon doesn't even come close to one of the Twelve," yet once father transformed, Inosuke was beaten up without a sweat. Pretty sure Tanjirou would use his full-power in such a life-or-death situation by the way, especially considering how many people died just moments ago.You said that it didn't make any sense that Tanjiro was unable to slash the father since he was able to cut the default threads. I'm simply correcting you that Tanjiro never used the tenth form to cut the father. That's all. So i guess you don't remember that Tanjiro was preparing to use the tenth form but got blasted away before he could cut him with the tenth form. How hard is it to get? Do i have to post the scene? |
2ego said: I was completely expecting "fail and be saved by a stronger senpai," I thought that's going to be the "best shounen episode" thingy. It does happen often in this trope, but just like in this one, if it happens nonsensically, it will get criticized, and don't try to justify it by saying it shouldn't get critizied just because it happened before. We can take One Piece as a reference, a powerup mid-battle happened when Zoro fought Mr. 1, yet that one made sense, in fact so much that some people didn't even understand the depth behind it, and just brushed it off as "nonsensical." This should get criticized equally, this trope or not. I dont understand you. How is this nonsensical? We are only 19 episodes in and you dont have any point of reference as to how the rules are in this world. We dont know about the Demon Arts, the Breathing methods, the 12 Super Demons, what the lower 5 are, what the deal with his father dance is, nothing. So basically youre calling it nonsense, because it hasnt been set up long enough for you? None of his breathing techniques have been set up. So dont tell me you had enough info to know what to expect, or what makes sense in this world. We dont know shit so far.. |
2ego said: Oh god this is annoying. Yes of course he is full power When he fought the father and he is about to use his tenth form againts the father BUT He got blasted away Right BEFORE he could use the tenth form. Dude is that really hard for you to understand? Or did you even read the subs?

| I hope they balance out the rest of the episodes because that was a masterpiece. I was clapping at the end of it, goosebumps all over my body.. :D only started watching it out of curiosity to see another ufotable goodness and they really don't disappoint. I was impressed with how they animated that traditional dance too, ost was very well suited. Can't wait for more!! |
2ego said: I won't continue debating with you by the way, since debunking hardcore fanboys is just tiresome and borderline impossible with their narrow mindsets when it comes to listening to what other people say. You dont like my point of view, so you call me narrow minded and impossible to convince. What an underhanded way to insult someone. Also, yoou shoudnt browse the forums looking to "debunk" other peoples opinion. Thats another point youre missing. |
2ego said: eh not 10 times not even close, he couldnt even cut rui's neck without nezuko's blood anyway, so tanjirou powerup is wayyyy from abrupt.It pretty much does make it nonsensical considering the "father dance" occured only at the very end. However, moments before it was stated: "Theory that people look for a solution to survive right before death - causing them to experience their life before their eyes," which is a nice touch. Nonetheless, the powerup shouldn't make him like 10 times stronger, it's just...abrupt. I won't continue debating with you by the way, since debunking hardcore fanboys is just tiresome and borderline impossible with their narrow mindsets when it comes to listening to what other people say. |
