Waiting eagerly for the first episode
| @Nerdason Very based. You can watch the new season of Kimetsu no Yaiba while watching Kimetsu no Yaiba, hehe. |
| This dragged quite a bit, but to be fair, never really liked the usage of lengthy premieres for this series since season 2 if I recall correctly. To be fair though, the one meeting that happened here clearly had more weight and urgency to it (especially with the music) than the meetings I have watched with the Slime anime this season, and they're already gone to training mode so at least that is a positive in my books. I did not miss Zenitsu and Inosuke one bit from my time off with the anime since the previous season, them and the humor can still be as unbearable as ever. |
| Welp, the usual everyone shouting for whole episode, typical Demon Slayer. Btw I thought Hashira never go on mission together, but this episode proves me wrong. 2 Hashiras go on mission together. So tell me, why didn't they do so way back when they confront Upper Moon 6? They have intel, they have target, they have location, so tell me why they didn't bother to send 2 Hashiras ? They could have obliterate upper moon 6 easily with 2 Hashiras . Instead they send Tanjirou and his friends , whom are very low rank among the Demon Slayer group at that time. |

| I guess this is the same episode that was shown in the worldwide premier, The new stuff was good but the old season part was a bit of a drag to get through though. Hopefully the rest of the episodes are good enough. |

@Hesmiyu why did you watch all of Dragon Maid if you rated the first season a 2?
| @Trimethylglycine Because of information I found afterwards. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| If anything the Wind and snake hashira made a pretty good team. Nice to see Kanao, Shinobu and Nezuko again. Love the way the Hashira were intruduced at their meeting. Shame about their masters illness reaching the terminal phase though. The Inosuke school session were damm amusing. Tengen as a trainer really suits him. But the actual training really was hellish. Bringing Tamayo into the fold while risky is certainly an excellent idea given her knowlege. Overall though a solid Opening ep that featured a great balance of action and story advancement. As ever mighty glad that this was a extended ep. |

| good episode with cute an funny moments. following episodes gonna be good can't wait. |
| It's been a while since I've read the manga but I definitely didn't remember that Shinazugawa/Obanai team up part. As I expected, it's anime-original so that's why it seemed so unfamiliar lol. I'm glad they added that so we can see more Hashira action. Finally getting back into the swing of things with these familiar faces, and the focus this season will be strengthening their forces to achieve the mark and prepare for the upcoming battle to take down Muzan. I'm wondering what other original material they'll add in this season to expand on what we got from the manga. For those who are hoping for typical flashy Demon Slayer battles, this season is not the one for that. This is the season where we actually get lore and infodumps about important in-universe information. And no, this isn't filler. This is all in the manga (before anyone who doesn't know what filler actually is starts yapping about filler). souraia said: time to start another dogshit season If you think it's dogshit just drop it LMFAOOOO, people fr waste their time hate-watching 💀 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| The fact that Zenitsu is a lolicon will never not be funny... |
 |
| I was so scared when Wind & Snake were dropping into the Muzan's realm that I was holding my breath. I didn't even realize it until I let it out. Although we've never seen him unbandaged, I think the demon corps boss is related to Muzan and that they look alike. I don't know why I think that. It just popped into my head. I thought we saw someone else (I wanna say Zenitsu) get a mark when doing a breathing technique. I didn't recognize Tengen until I saw his wives. He's gotten a lot flashier. What's with Tomioka? Is it possible he already has the mark? Or is he afraid of the power it brings? |

| I know plenty of people dislike it but I really love the way this show juggles between serious moments, funny / lighthearted ones and plain tomfoolery, I don't know if it was just me but it was pretty cool how the Wind Pillar cuts felt so smooth and quiet, super clean cuts, thanks to Tanjirou and Nezuko now Tamayo was invited to join and not been seens just like every other demon. The OP was fine, at the very least I don't dislike it like the previous but because of LiSA and Aimer I correlate this show more with female vocals so I hope the next OPs have female artists. Mitsuri <3 |
| I sure didn't expect Aizen's voice coming from that crow lol. Episode was nice, didn't feel that long even with the extra length and the additional scene with Iguro and Sanemi. This arc isn't going to be very exciting since it's a training one, but if the opening is of any indication I think the last episode it's going to be exciting. |
 |
| Other sequels need to learn from this. Its anime original content was a great way to draw viewers back into the show. If it wasn't there then a good amount of the episode would have amounted to just talking and you know everyone totally wants another TenSura 5 episode of talking or My Hero Aca with 4 episodes of flashbacks. I sometimes forget how good the show looks. Story wise, last season's villains set such a low bar, I hope this season's won't be as mediocre. |

This 'movie', is an example of how not to make a movie.
Pretty much 75% copied from the 'Kimetsu no Yaiba: Katanakaji no Sato-hen' season. And that combined with a 8 minute recap of the 3 seasons before it.
Not worth the money nor time to go to the cinema for. The noises when the movie 'ended' were horrible; it didn't even end properly.
A family was sitting next to me at the cinema. One woman in there had only seen season 1. Needless to say; they were confused. Having a movie that is part of a movie should be possible without having seen the source material (One Piece, Hero Aca, etc.). But this movie falls flat for both fans and newcomers.
I've seen something happening like this before; with the Goblin Slayer movie. Half recap, half new content. Shortly after that, the Odd Taxi movie; 95% recap and only 5% new content. I have no idea what anime studios are smoking these days, but this ain't looking good.
(Also; why do 40% of watchers give this a 5/5 stars? I didn't knew the fanbase would has such a... special opinion.)

| @Dinoe well they love the characterers and want to know more story from them, id you already loved them you Will watched that anime but id you didn't love the characterers or story' around them you Will hated it, don't worry this always happened. And we still need to know more about the other Hashira so when (if you know you know) happen we would be rooting for them other than just 3 ep and straight to (that). |

Btw I thought Hashira never go on mission together, but this episode proves me wrong. 2 Hashiras go on mission together.
So tell me, why didn't they do so way back when they confront Upper Moon 6?
They have intel, they have target, they have location, so tell me why they didn't bother to send 2 Hashiras ?
They could have obliterate upper moon 6 easily with 2 Hashiras .
Instead they send Tanjirou and his friends , whom are very low rank among the Demon Slayer group at that time.

| @thebrentinator24 Ok I know why Hashira teamed up now. It's anime original. Make sense cuz if manga has this part, the author would know that it'd contradict to her previous flower district arc, cuz if they sent 2 Hashira to flower district during that arc, they could have obliterate Upper moon 6 without much trouble. I always thought they gonna go with the excuse of "Hashira is too busy so they can't cover the same area" shit. |

| Not a bad start to the season, it was good to see Zenitsu and Inosuke again since they were largely absent from last season I'm still wondering how long this season is gonna be, I think it would be kind of odd to just adapt the Hashira Training arc since it's such a small arc, we'll see what happens |
| Demon Slayer is back with the Hashira training arc. I know this arc doesn't contain much but this episode went so quickly despite being 50 minutes long. Time flies when you are enjoying stuff. Apart from the original scenes, Himejima's presence was the best part along with the Osts. My man will soon be getting his spotlight. The Op is cool. I liked the previous one more but that Tanjiro vs Muzan scene was amazing. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| finally back it was a good episode the beginning was well done i'm already excited for the ep 2!!! |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| This episode's first few minutes were amazing. Clearly they wanted to make an impression and Ufotable of course, delivered. Obanai Iguro has such an incredible unique fighting style that almost looks like art. Shinazugawa's fighting style was also amazing to watch. They managed to make that fight into a bloody massacre. That meeting was tense but we still got meme moments from Mitsuri Kanroji. Zenitsu seeing Nezuko again was peak comedy. With all the prep talk and info dump, no wonder this arc is about Hashira training. Zenitsu didn't seem thrilled about it. All of the sake of defeating demons! Exciting start for the arc for sure. |
 |
| This summarized how I feel about this new “season” extremely well. |
 |
| Was a pretty enjoyable start to a new arc. Feel like Zenitsu was more annoying than usually, but maybe I'm just forgetting how he usually is. The action sequence at the beg of the ep was very cool. I have higher expectations for this season despite how the last one was pretty mid. |
| I have nothing but respect for master Kagaya. The op song is so good I love the song and visuals |
