Mitsuri and her emotions are quite amusing to watch. I'm so glad she got a decent amount of highlight and personality in this episode.

While Tanjiro and the others struggled in their fight, Mitsuri came at the right place at the right time to help them. Her moves against those wood dragons looked like a work of art imo. Hell of an episode, and I did enjoy seeing the anime add some lighthearted moments between all that intense action.

That sword isn’t the only unusual thing Mitsuri has, I mean her airhead self aside, she has that backstory too, yeah. But before that, the colourful spectacle we got treated to right from the get-go, it kind of set the tempo for this episode. Mist breathing was one thing, but they did a great job with Mitsuri’s love breathing styles too.

Now to her backstory, I mean that was kind of hilariously stupid, or a bit too basic for this series. I mean this is place where people have such dark and grim past with a constant of losing family members to demons, but in her case it was just she couldn’t get a marriage partner so she decided why not join the ranks of demon corps lol, where if luck bore fruit I’d find my better half… :) By the way, that glasses nerd who said no to Mitsuri really had a horrible taste.

Anyways, backstory done, and with Mitsuri facing Zohakuten and the rest chasing the main body, it goes without saying they still couldn’t do much. I mean slashing swords and all is good but get the results already… or they’ll next episode. They did tell us about Genya though, him consuming demons... ugh.

Now this most probably will end next week, as there isn't much to cover anyways.

LETS GO MITSURI. That's bae right there, doing all kinds of gymnastics with that unconventional sword of hers. Her breathing techniques looked dope, I'm glad she got all kinds of love (pun intended) in this episode. Once again, they extended her backstory but hey at least this time it wasn't "she had a happy life until her family was slaughtered by demons." Instead, it was just her getting rejected by dudes for not being the stereotypical "weak" woman. All those dudes have garbage taste btw, if my girl can't bench press me I don't want it 😀😀😀 shout out to Obanai for being a man of culture. 

And while Mitsuri is holding off Zohakuten, our other 3 demon slayers are going after the main body. That was some weird placement for the cliffhanger imo lol, but they're closing in on him. Hantengu can't run away forever, at some point this cat and mouse chase has to end.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Mitsuri episode!

Again they’re going all-in with expanding on the flashbacks and not with the action scenes. I don’t even remember Iguro being there, but that’s probably just me. It’s nice to see some Iguro x Mitsuri content tho, he’s so tsundere.

It was overall a much better episode, smol Mitsuri was precious as fuck lmao. I’m also glad she got one or two cool sequences, although they still feel quite underwhelming when thinking about all the budget they had for this season and the talent they got in the studio. Nevertheless, Mitsuri’s sword technique is mesmerizing and I love the rainbow light she always got around her. OST was great also, truly reminds me of Fate/Stay Night.

Now… the cliffhanger was funny lol, but double-length finale next week. The content is OK-ish, but I’m sure Shirai will do a great job so I’m excited in any case.

Some cute Mitsuri!

I guess the best animation starts now, and ig every shot of mitsuri has to include her thighs and tits from a low angle. There was some really good cgi this episode, especially the part where tanjiro's scent was visualised in the forest

Mitsuri's pretty cool and her fighting style with the whip sword is so unique. It was nice seeing her backstory. All the Hashiras are really mysterious so it's interesting to learn more about them. I wonder if her mark is the same as Muichiro and Tanjiro's.

Also, I just loved the music for this episode. Sounded like classic Yuki Kajiura.

Mitsuri expressed a lot of emotions this episode. We got to see her past too. Iguro crushes on her. 

Damn, Genya chews demons to gain strength. I'm not sure, but why do I feel like this is the first time Tanjiro is cursing?

Another great episode once again. This fight is ofcourse better then gyokko's fight cause its longer and has a bit more stacks. Animation as always is on point. 
Last episode will ofcourse be longer. Maybe a bit longer than previous season's last episode. Hashira training arc looks unlikely but we might see some good visuals next episodes again.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Really fun and dynamic episode, but I'm salty about the next episode being the last. The next part of the story will be a bit slow and only take 3 to 4 eps which I think would fit perfectly at the end of this season as a wrap up and build up for the next one instead of having to start next season with slower pacing. Similar to how the first season ended with the Rehabilitation Training and set up the Infinity Train Arc to start up right away. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Mitsuri's entrance was damm flashy. Guess hair colour discrimination was actually a thing back then. Even as a child Mitsuri sure had a ton of energy. Being able to outeat sumo wrestlers was damm impressive. Though it was sad seeing her limit herself for fear of being treated differently back then. But using that same strength to save people and seeing how grateful they were really served to change her for the better. In her current form she's not just pretty but cool as well because she's able to use her talent to help those in need. Genya has quite the unique talent for a slayer though. Hopefully Nezuko would be able to stomp that prime into paste this time. Overall a fun ep that featured a nice mix of action and backstory on Mitsuri.

Mitsuri Kanroji is a strong and independent woman. It was so nice to see her past memories even though she didn't get a marriage arrangement. Haters gonna hate.
I would marry her no lie. She's strong, beautiful, and has a bubbly personality. Just a pure hearted soul.

Her flamboyant nature, makes her fight with the upper moon 4 demon even more epic. I love how she just dances around as she cuts up those wooden dragon demon arts.
Her twisting and turning was just pure art. She was a great bait to distract the upper moon 4 child. Mitsuri has so much rizz.
While Tanjiro, Genya, and Nezuko are out for blood on the real body.

This anime would've been so much better if Mitsuri were the main character, oh my dear Jesus Christ she is so fucking hot, but the introduction to her flashback was easily one of the stupidest that I saw in my life.

Mitsuri, Shinobu and Nezuko as the main trio and we could have had a good show, not the worst battle shounen since Bleach.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Good episode, but that is one terrible cliffhanger, like the music of a new song had just started and there was some buildup to the hype, but then we just got a frozen frame and cut. Like it was a finished scene but then they realised they had to save it for the final episode.

I love Mitsuri, both her bubbly personality and unusual character design, but this episode felt a bit slow. Some of these fights take too long

Man, what a relief. After multiple episodes about grim cruelsome and full of sadness episodes about Muichiro's past I almost got accustomed to the thought that this season will continue to be rather dark-vibed till the end. And now with this episode a bit of light smile together with a little of light-hearted emotion came like a ray of sunshine during a rainy day. I find it somehow very amusing that on the contrary to other hashiras Kanroji gained her extraordinaire abilities just because she was born thight-muscled. Man, since this is fantasy sci-fi anime I am going to accept a lot of supernatural abilities, but still vast majority of characters endured a tiring and rigid training to become powerful. What's more everybody has some sad and terrific trauma what constitutes their motivation to become strong and defeat demons. This one just happened to be born with a strength to lift rocks and defeat a Sumo wrestler in arm wrestling (sic!). Her motivation is to finally find someone to love and be loved back. Nah, I don't criticize, I am just largely surprised. To be frank, couple of last episodes about Muichiro's past bored me a little. Given that a whole season is just one big epic fight that continues one episode after another, the flashbacks are the only way to bring into light some of character's backstory, so we could empathize with them more. I started feeling the season now through the lens of Muichiro's history, which is very sad and grim. Now we get this coming like the bucked of cold water on the head, but in a good way, like during the drought. The mysterious mark on her neck gives a sign of some other source of power that will surely be revealed in the episodes to come. For now we just have a happy girl wanting to have a lover who was born with inhuman strength. I very like how she just withstood all of the attacks just because she "wanted to protect friends" and not because "her family was tragically killed by the demons, then she nearly trained herself to death with hope of avenging the tragic past". I found this refreshing. Then we have Genya who just reversed demon's logic and eat them to become more powerful like the demons become after eating people. It wasn't really a shock, I have been wondering what was the reason of his power to heal wounds etc. and this gives an acceptable answer. Well, I liked this episode and I am looking forward to next ones. Still, I liked more the way of the first season: a longer story with periodical fights that don't last more than 2-3 episodes. But maybe there is a pattern why continuous fights with new demons from the beginning were becoming more and more longer - it shows the progress of gradually stronger enemies and gradual growth of strength of Tanjiro and friends. Looking like this shows us more how powerful are upper rank demons, if there is one or two of them per whole season.

Mitsuri getting her moment to shine! Such a great episode showing her taking on Zohakuten. Her love breathing looking incredible animated. She is such a strong Hashira to have in a fight, this is the first time the anime has shown her level of strength. She's joining this fight at just the right time when Tanjiro, Nezuko and Genya are nearly wiped of stamina. They've all been trying for so long but Hantengu keeps pulling out new tricks. 

Mitsuri backstory being one of the more happier ones especially compared to seeing Genya and Muichiro backstory earlier this season. Mitsuri backstory meanwhile is more about overcoming societal pressures instead of overcoming heavy trauma of a demon attack. Mitsuri feeling like she was looked down upon by society because she didn't fit the mold of what typical girls acted like. She's strong and likes the eat and has crazy colored hair, but that's perfectly fine. Mitsuri doesn't need to change herself or life a lie to be accepted. Because if you keep looking you'll eventually find people whom accept you for who you are. Mitsuri found her way to the demon Slayer Corps and the other Hashira, whom all accept her. 

She protected the kids very well this episode as they went around to get the main body. Mitsuri using her awesome looking love breathing to slice the wooden dragons up. Getting faster and stronger as the fight went on. Tanjiro, Genya and Nezuko going after the main body as it tried to run out the back. Tanjiro getting close to slicing it but Hantengu running away. Great cliffhanger to end as the three chase after him, next week is the finale and it will of course be super sized!!

It was a fairly decent episode after a series of bad episodes. We got yet another backstory but at least it was something different and was fun to watch. And man, wtf was that reason to turn down Mitsuri? Bruh, man got no taste.

Meanwhile, the fight was bearable but I'm still not feeling the power from a supposed upper moon. He acts like your average demon. And can we get some action besides wooden dragons? It's utterly boring to watch the demon just stand there and launch serpentine things at our protagonists. I want some sword fighting or some close combat action. Throw some tactics here and there and I'm good lol.

Great to see Mitsuri in action for this episode, feel like she won't get many scenes like this later on; mid episode honestly, and it kinda clear why demon slayer isn't written that well. Either way, the fight scenes are such a pleasure to watch.Big up ufotable.

i woke up
i saw new episode is out, i clicked it
it started good, fighting and all, i am happy
flashback starts, i start crying, day ruined, -1
they go back to the fight, finally i say... for 6 seconds, they go back to a second flashback
thats how u go from a 10/10 on episode 2 to a 6/10 on episode 10

I DONT CARE if she eats a lot, if she is strong from birth, if she has pink hair (ok, pink hair is hot) or if she cant get married.... WHEN SHE IS FIGHTING a upper rank.
Show the flashback before or after the fight
Ah yes, they also spend 1? 2? episodes on that sword and there is only 1 episode left, i am expecting tanjiro getting that sword and killed that demon or else...... that will be a solid 5/10, its like they are trying to do what current one piece does
