THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The real journey begins for Tanjirou now as a Demon Slayer. First missions are important so it seems the show is trying to build on what he's learned.

Looks like the case involves around disappeared girls around town. I thought the episode had a grim, omimous feel to it. With the appearance of a Caster Demon, no doubt Tanjirou realizes how dangerous his job is as a Demon Slayer.

NEZUKO KICK!

Action-packed episode, the animation for the water-wheel and the waterfall tho.
Poor girls, they were all eaten by that demon. Not to mention that young lady trying to sleep, I’m glad she was saved by tanjirou, but hey he can’t defeat the demon. He’s such a newbie, still doesn’t know how to properly fight a demon. I got to say that for his first mission, this demon is quite annoying to deal with. Thank god Nezuko came to help

That teeth sound lmao so cringe, I couldn’t stand it.
We’re in for quite a ride

Get in the box, Nezuko!

Great episode again.

Tanjuro got them Witcher senses. xD

Fight sequences were great and the animation for the water wheel was awesome.
Nezuko Kick was awesome too. :P

They revealed the name of the demon who can potentially help save Nezuko. Is the first demon really the only capable of something like that?

Well he can turn people into demon so their best guess right now is him.

Hmm the new uniform sure looks nice. So black blades are seen to represent slayers who won't get far in their careers huh. So the demon kidnapper was one that had supernatural powers. No wonder it could strike without being detected. To think that human ages actually mean something to demons though. The little argument between the two demon selves sure was amusing. But the revelation that the missing girl was no longer alive sure was a cruel revelation. Nezuko joining the fight though was a nice surprise though. Overall an excellent ep that while doing well in showing all the new gear that Tanjiro gets also did well to show what missions can be like for them. The battle while as fluid as ever also did well to introduce one of the special types of demons that exist within the world.

Demon shows up. *Inaudible sucking noises and teeth grinding* Lmao this episode was awesome though. We finally get to see tanjiro on his first mission. I feel bad for the guy who got his sister taken from him. Mr. Urokodaki reveals the name of the demon who could turn his sister back to normal. Apparently only the first demon is capable of it. Anyways so far im really liking this series and I cant wait to see what happens next. Nezuko is so badass and cute at the same time!!!

Ugh so many cutaways and flashbacks in the middle of the action scenes and the main character has to beat by beat layout the action scene for us! Why do so many shonen series do this?! I hated it in the first episode, I tolerated it in the subsequent episodes because he was making a journal but here it is again.

Also rather let down that Nezuko is just under "hypnosis" as a means to keep her tame. I get she's a demon now but after last episode where she races to hug her brother after he was away it got to me, I thought "oh she's still got some humanity in her so there's hope" though I'm doubtful we'll see a real resolution. This show is really just looking to be impressive on animation but average on writing.

Trust me, it’s better like this. The first 20 or so chapters are too fast paced and they were just plain bad and you had the feeling the manga was already reaching its end. The anime is adding some stuff here and there to slow things down and make the story flow better.
If they had adapted the manga faithfully you would have probably disliked even more this episode. Ufotable is doing its best to adapt in the best way possible the first chapters which are pretty bad. Even the Final Selection wasn’t really good in the manga, yet the anime managed to make it mind-blowing

yeah i know but it's too slow at least during fights adapt 3 chapters or 2 and half,and i don't like slow motion animation,this episode animation isn't that good.
i think that they adapt 3 chapters per episode only on drum house arc the rest is 2 chapters.

This show is the definition of mediocre and generic except for top animation. The episodes have little happening in them and then something happens at the end as a cliff hanger to be resolved in 2 minutes in the next episode. The CGI is also so unnecessary and looks ugly.
due to childish impatience you are unable to comprehend that is the exposition the aim of the first half of the show is to develop the main characters and flesh out the lore and the world. Your childish mindset craves action and not quality story telling which clouds whatever judgement you have. Also you haven't even explained why you found it "mediocre" and "generic"

Deal with it for another 3 episodes, this arc is the worst in the manga. When Zenitsu and Inosuke get introduced it gets real good. But hey, if you want to drop this anime before it, just do it. No one is gonna make you stay

As all Shounen are currently generic, do not take it into account or complain about the CGI because all the animes use it.

As far as being generic, this show has a plot that I've already seen before part from the demon sister twist. Something bad happens (family death) that makes him want to fights the monsters, he finds a rival, he meets an old wise master, he has some training to make him one of if not the strongest newbies, we meet another newbie who's mr. angry for the sake of being angry.
Then being mediocre is what I'd call it due to me personally not enjoying that much.

Maybe you're right about me being impatient but the amount of exposition just makes it less enjoyable. This episode had Tanjirou describing what's going on during the fight, as he fights, which just brings me out of the moment. Even the main fight was just some lame game of whack-a-mole.
I'll agree that the anime doesn't have a revolutionary concept however it executes the plot marvellously and the point of the show is the beauty of simplicity while it may have a generic plot its executed brilliantly it acknowledges its over saturated plot and turns it into a beautiful story with deeper philosophical value than something like my hero or fairy tail

The background music was so ominous and eerie and was playing throughout Tanjiro's journey into the town. This multi-personality demon with supernatural abilities is pretty troublesome. The scenes of Urokodaki explaining about the sword turning black, the first demon and casting the spell onto Nezuko were really good. I guess from now on Tanjiro will see Nezuko as an asset while searching for Muzan Kibutsuji and getting the answers. Pretty excited for the next ep.
