Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Geiko-hen

After a series of mighty clashes with Upper Rank Demons, the Ubuyashiki clan prepares for one last battle with the hellish forces of Muzan Kibutsuji. In order to finally defeat the Demon leader once and for all, the clan devises a training camp for the Demon Slayer Corps, one led by the remaining Hashira—the most elite warriors in the organization. Each Hashira forms a specialized exercise that will hone both their own abilities and the skills of the ordinary soldiers.

Tanjirou Kamado, a boy at the heart of the brewing conflict, recovers from wounds received in a recent fight. While his half-Demon sister Nezuko is studied by researchers like Shinobu Kochou, Tanjirou embarks to train with the Hashira, seeking mastery in each of their assigned areas of expertise to be best prepared for the coming war—skills vital to Tanjirou, as he has vowed to be the very warrior who will eliminate Muzan for good.

When filler is actually good:
After becoming an anime of which nearly everyone has expectations on, Demon Slayers fourth season tackles the challenge to adapt its shortest arc. While many think that a training-arc can't be interesting, Demon Slayer does what it's known for: surprising again with insane visuals, great enhancements of the manga, outstanding animation and direction. Every step of the training was interesting and granted with great animation, every episode was consistently entertaining and the final episode just speaks for itself, hyping the fans up for one of the most intense arcs in anime history.
As always the story isn't that good, but as long ... as the production value is that high, the show manages to overcome the flaws left by the manga becoming an exceptional experience for anime fans.

Mixed Feelings

very meh arc

While the training arc is kind of cool and there are good moments all throughout, all in all, its kind of boring. The last episode does get you hyped for the next arc though, but that's kind of the problem in itself, the next arc doesn't come out for some time.

So this arc: while probably great in the grand scheme of the story, was overall, kind of like a giant beach episode where nothing really happens, except the setup for the next arc.

Great animation still and tanjiro is still the goodest of boys, and it does do some character development here and there, ... not a bad arc but there was nothing of significance that happens until the last episode.

Not Recommended

This is the most middling entry of the anime bordering on near bad. It is almost all exclusively nothing really happening for almost the entire season until the second to last episode and the very last episode. If you cut out 6 episodes of this anime it would be so much more watchable and for that I can't even recommend the whole season just the final two episodes are worth watching. This is possibly the worst nothingburger demon slayer has put out. For example, if they just shortened the training to a single episode or two this would not feel like such a waste of ... time, unfortunately it drags on for most of the season. It's not even a calm before the storm. It's the boredom before the storm.
