Man that cliffhanger was torture, not knowing if Tanjiro got em or not. Good episode though.

Damn that was a good episode! What is going on with Genya?! An entire ep without revealing why he’s gone demon but still sane… that is a nice mystery right there

I really love him already… Genya has a backstory and personality on par with Tanjirou, like he’s MC material. I felt my heart shattered when he’s whole family was just gone in seconds.

That cliffhanger though… I don’t appreciate having to wait a week cause I’m gonna go insane πŸ˜†

Damn, so we get a brief tragic backstory on the Hashira and Shinagazawa. Now it makes sense why he turned to a demon, but what led to it was very sad. Having to see your loving mom kill your siblings and the Hashira, having to do it after all.

They really got Tanjiro spamming that flame sword move like he didn’t just learn it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Who woulda thought the crying Upper Moon would be the key. Tanjiro’s nose can really smell anything.

It’s good. It’s admittedly one of those typical moments for Demon Slayer where a character, Genya in this, gets a overly long backstory moment to explain how he got t where he is. Though in saying that this episode leaves more questions than answers, which I’m really curious to see it answer.

As usual, the upper moon demons prove quite troublesome. It certainly isn’t shy about hyping up how much a challenge Muzan is going to be.

Finally the annoying kid is getting his share. Also, when is the anime going to stop the fillers i wonder?
Squealer: My kind are neither slaves nor beasts.
Judge: If you’re not beasts, then what are you?
Squealer: WE ARE HUMANS!!!

the animation is lacking to previous buil up fights (tanjiro vs daki, zenitsu vs spider)

Why are they padding this season so hard???? Just long held frames of silence with no cuts for some reason???? I thought I was watching One Piece for a second.

Yep, I'm sorry, as emotional as they were trying to be, and I do appreciate the effort, mid battle backstories are just so cliched, and as brutal as that was, I couldn't really get invested in any of it. As I was watching, I rolled my eyes when the flashback started, saying "Here we go again". Sad backstories are not good characterization, in fact, it's honestly quite a lazy way to build character, since if a character can only be defined by tragedy, it's just not that memorable of a character. Then again, with how Demon Slayer is, I couldn't imagine anywhere else they could fit this backstory in.

if Genya somehow survives through all this though, I will really not know what to say. Don't ruin this please.

the pacing feels really off... i don't know how to put it, i cant feel anything for the characters. i don't know if it's the fight getting dragged out or the sudden backstory when you know tanjiro's gonna save the day, like i can't feel anything for genya. maybe the way they present the sad backstories were just a gimmick that made me feel characters in the first season but ever since rengoku i haven't sympathized with a single character on the show...
THIS!!! Sure, the backstory is tragic but I am getting tired of the same element being thrown around for us viewers to feel bad/sad/sorry for each one of them whenever they are about to die. Not to mention, the comedy is soooo dry af. It feels so off.  I am having such a hard time connecting to any character other than Nezuko right now. This season has just been disappointing so far.

Ah what a cliffhanger to stop at D:

I would have never expected Genya's backstory, but that just goes to show you should never judge someone right away. TO think he was related to Sanemi was unexpected but given their personality not surprising lol. I don't think they'll be able to defeat the demon in the next ep but we'll see! ^^

Man, I hate flashbacks in this anime because it always makes me cry! I feel bad for Genya and his nii-chan. But damn, I thought that Sad Demon only had a spear but it seems like he also had that powerful skill! Genya literally had holes on him. How was he still able to move his arms with his muscle and bones halfly gone?
