The main focus of this season is a single fight between the Demon Slayers and a Rank 6 demon. The producers used 9 episodes to portray this fight, dragging it out to the point of boredom. During this long, long fight, you get the typical shitty shounen tropes: villain talks to themselves for 10 minutes; heroes that seemed like they were knocked out, out of the fight, lying in a pool of blood on the ground suddenly find more will to fight by force of friendship/love/insert other trope here, and then conveniently save their friends from certain death, at the absolutely last second. These tropes get repeated episode after episode, with no end in sight.
The first two episodes of this season were interesting in terms of world building and introducing some new characters, but once the fight started, this show was done. The pacing was way off. This entire arc would've been better off had it been condensed into a 90 minute movie instead.
