| Tanjiro's new sword has appeared. I wonder if he'll become a duel sword. Maybe this is what he needs to learn the moves from the dance properly. |
| even the doll is so pretty T-T |
| the cliffhanger tho. Ah. Love the ED, and tanjiro gets some training. Nice. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| Tokito seems like a little bit of a brat but I’m sure Tanjiro will forge a better friendship with him in time. Now I wonder if the sword inside Yoriichi Type 0 will be Tanjiros new sword. |
  |
| Kage.....I mean,Kotetsu giving support to Gonpachiro to train. What a mean crow. With that ending feels more like was suppose to break the mecha Yoriichi and be someone worthy of the sword. And no one was good enough to build another mechanical doll or even repair. |
 |
| a rather underwhelming to say the least after the first one. I feel like the animation was ... passable and the comedy was absolutely awfull on the other hand. This show can handle very well the hype and intense scenes but fails each time it tries to be funny. |
The ojou-sama female crow is the best girl of the season. Does anyone know who the seiyuu is?  |
| this episode was pretty bad and just boring overall, hopefully the next one is better again |
 |
| A good training episode after a spectacular first episode. This had some good fight scenes with doll (especially considering that this is just a training episode). A lot more is yet to come, this is just the start. The ED had some good visuals. Its not my favorite and I dont think I am a big fan of it but some parts did resemble the first ed by Lisa. Also the Ost sounds good. Again this was just the first episode and the Ost was so good, I cant even imagine how good it will be in the upcoming episodes. FMmatron said: Well thats what you expect from a demon slayer thread. We are like two episodes in to a new season and people (haters) are already complaining about lack of action. I guess they are more impatient for the show then the fans of Kny.The complaints about this episode are crazy. Nitpicking at it's finest lol Mod Edit: Merged double posts |

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| The OP and ED visuals were as lovely as usual but I'm not feeling the songs. Not much happened on the episode but it was over in a flash, poor Tanjirou helped to create a monster.

If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time. |
| haha yes new sword niceee |
 |
| No kanroji titties 1/10 episode |
 |
| A good bit of training and growth for Tanjiro, I'm expecting lots of ancient history to come up in this arc |
| Is this the secret weapon? Awesome!! |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Tanjiro has upgraded his foresight with smell? I'm mean he was already doing that with the red string I guess, his smell just got better? Seems like you just got a better sense of where a sword is going to swing and concentration on multiple areas, but whatever. But the 300 year old sword in the puppet, being ready to get pulled out by a worthy opponent that is badass. Reminded me of Legend of Zelda and the master sword on its pedestal. LTST said: Yeah comedy in Demon Slayer is weak as heck. Funny jokes for this show is like a one to two punchline, its usually something like "someone is rude, tanjiro is offended" (you know he's offended by the funny face.)AcD4c said: Glad I'm not the only one that noticed thatGod, the comedy is awful -_- I hope we get to the action soon. The goofy little scenes constantly took me out of the episode, it just didn't flow right Mod Edit: Merged double posts |

| just take out that kid lmao dying of starvation must be a shit way to die in the DS universe |
| Looks like we got a little training bit here at the beginning of this arc, the contrast of Kotetsu being a vulnerable kid to a strict teacher was pretty good lol, Tanjiro got worked brutally in a short amount of time but he ended up learning a new method of using scents and broke the mechanical doll in the process which revealed a sword which has to be around 300 years old, I have a feeling it’s gonna play a big part in this arc, if so I can’t wait to see Tanjiro kick ass with it lol. I also enjoyed Tanjiro having no chill when it came to dealing with Tokito lol, man got on his nerves and so did his bird. And what a damn good ED that was, nice Mitsuri and Tokito focused visuals and another great song by MAN WITH A MISSION and milet, I prefer last season’s EDs for now but I’m gonna give this one time to grow on me before I’m certain. |
| Basically just a training episode as Tanjiro prepares for whatever fight comes next. Not quite sure how a 300 year old doll can fight like that but at least it's useful. I'm guessing that sword was owned by the guy Tanjiro is dreaming about and it seems like the perfect replacement for his damaged sword so we'll see if he decides to take it or give it to someone else. |
 |
| Tanjiro's being bossed out by a Kotetsu (who's only a kid)! LOL! Poor Tanjiro! ANd, oh my word, that sword revealed from the 300-year old mechanical doll will be a great artifact for Tanjiro to wield in the upcoming battle! |

I find it funny you guys prove my point cuz i haven't even see a real counter argument about the episode itself to defend this series outside of personally attacking me lolz And I fail to see any of you addressing my question about the direction and tone of this episode cuz it feels like this training ark is even worse than the beginning of the story cuz it makes no sense and it's so childish and covers it with bad comedy overall. And production wise this episode is not even that good to begin with. And even more funnily only Demon Slayers fans defend their series this hard cuz when i criticize shows like Jigokuraku no-one even respond to me. And no, i'm being very fair / lenient with rating. If I'm real hater you'd see some random 1 because of the tiniest mistake. Ik is only 2 episodes so I'm still reserving my rating to not just straight up give terrible score yet despite both episodes lack substances atm and most people would already drop a show already if it's not a popular mainstream IP. PS: To counter argue your point just go watch some reviews on those new IP with good production, way more people give random 1 and 2 on those small series and drop the show at ep1~3. |
Friermiko said: Why do you think people watch DS if not for it’s animation? Because without the animation its bland, cliche, boring, predictable plot with annoying characters and bad comedy. If you explain the series' popularity only by how good its anime adaptation's animation is like, and ignore stuff such as traditional Japanese elements appearing in the story, or other merits, then well... Weird take. Especially considering that Kimetsu no Yaiba is a solid shounen manga. Its writing quality is no different (neither significantly worse nor better) than most of popular shounen's. Perhaps you just don't like this genre yourself. |

| Tanjiro got himself mixed up in some amusing stuff, but looks like it will be worth it in the end. Interesting they had to give the doll 6 arms just to live up to the original. |
 |
| kotetsu wanting tanjiro to be the messenger of his hate towards the hashira was jokes. aside from that, very boring episode, i can't lie. but i heard the crow is voiced by rei kugimiya, don't know how far that's true but if it is, pretty cool. |
 |
| I loved this episode so much. Kotetsu is adorable!! |
My Candies:       Bonus:   |
filus said: Yeah, she uses the same voice style as with Shana-tan. Expecting that crow to say bakabakabaka. xD That female crow's voice was Kugimiya Rie wasn't it? I'll recognize her everywhere! |
 |
| Kind of a boring episode, not gonna lie. Tanjirou being trained and mistreated by a 10yo feels dumb and welp, guess I will be rooting for the Upper-Moons when they face Tokitou. Such an unlikable brat smh. On a side note, I absolutely love the new ED. Not for the song but for all the lovely Mitsuri shots it had. |
| That sword has been hidden there for 300 years waiting for the person who defeats that doll to claim it that’s so sick |
 |
| Wild episode. The Mist guy is more of a dick than I thought he would be honestly, but he seems alright maybe. The robot guy is interesting and now there's an ancient sword popping out !? Was this this ancient warrior's sword that now Tanjiro is gonna use???? I betcha it's so damn old it won't break either cause like crazy ancient technology. Based on the first episode, one of the top demon bros looks JUST like this Yorichi guy. I have no idea what to make of that. Did he become a demon for some reason?? also is he related to Tanjiro ?? They have similar hair and the same scar ?? His visions of him being of an ancestor are also interesting. ALSO wait didn't Tanjiro's dad meet this guy in the first ep when Tanjiro was a baby????? How was bro alive?? Lots of questions, love the start of this arc so far, can't wait for more .  |
|
| That sudden shift of Kotetsu's personality is such a mood lol. |
 |
| The Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito fighting with a boy Kotetsu to hand him a key, to Tanjiro, it looked like pure bullying. But Tanjiro could not stop Tokito in his tracks, and the key was for the Mechanical Doll: Yoriichi Type Zero, a training battle tool for swordsmen. Other than the earrings which bear the same resemblance as the ones on Tanjiro's, Kotetsu's preservation is important to keep the Yoriichi Type Zero alive. But the Mechanical Doll being easily spoilt by Tokito, it's the same if Kotetsu gave up now and let the doll break down as it be, the same as how Tanjiro is putting his life to defeat Muzan. On this thought, Kotetsu issung an ultimatum to Tanjiro to get stronger to defeat Tokito so that he too, can get back at the Mist Hashira as well. But Kotetsu is more than just a naturally foul-mouthed boy, and to ask Tanjiro of this seems like a tall order from a tyrannical and analytical 10-year-old who'll only serve him food if he could land a shot at the doll, and break it for all its worth. Because as much as Yoriichi Type Zero is important, Tanjiro's skill is more important... A 300-year-old blade hiding inside the Mechanical Doll, it's a revelation that no one has known...until now. Will this help to break Tanjiro's streak? |
 |
| kind of a goofy episode, with an interesting reveal at the end. wth was that crow btw? Farabeuf said: i think that's kinda the cool thing about this right? like just because you have a common goal doesn't mean you're good or bad, people come in all sorts of types.Ok episode after that impressive intro episode. That new Hashira is annoying as feck. Sometimes it’s really hard to root for the “good guys” here. Mod Edit: Merged double posts |
