The whole atmosphere of the episode was chill.
The beginning was amazing and the story seems to be moving especially after the fairly mid season 3

@IzayoiSk yeah yeah yeah. Almost all the time the picture are static. I mean if someone talk the only one thing that moves is a mouth. Just an example. I saw something like that only in low budget comedy anime or Gokushufudล-like ?anime?. And never seen anything like that in a shounen. Even one piece is WAY better looks than the 1st episode of that. But if you like the animation, you better be going for a new glasses. Do you really don't see the difference between any other Kimetsu season and the last?

Great start, by retired hashira they just meant Tengen? I thought we might see Rengoku's dad and Urokodaki too.

i like a nice long premier episode to kick things off, really sets the tone for the season as a whole. I wish more anime would do this. My anime site skipped the recap and went straight to current arc content, so that saved me some time thankfully

Damn, I wish more of this series was like the first 7 minutes of original(?) content from this ep.

No awkward comic relief, just dudes slaying demons.

That scene at the castle at the start was filler right? It was the best part of the episode which says a lot; I heard that this arc was lame in the manga and by the look of this episode it seems like the anime adaptation will be mediocre as well. A shame since the previous arc was already underwhelming, and this arc is even shorter than that one...

I love the little filler in the beginning there, it showed Serpent and Wind Breathing early on, very nice decision from the studio :)

While seeing in the cinema was a very nice experience, surely watching it at home had many pros. You can just chill and watch the show without other folks overreacting and slurping soda or eating chips. ;D

I could also stop when that idiot Zenitsu appeared on the screen and return to watching it after a while. Yeah, I already knew the scene after it featured Tengen and his wives, but still the amount of cringe coming from that clown of a character was unbearable.

Yay, Taishou secrets will be dedicated to all Pillars, starting from the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kochou. :D

Same. It was a great decision to put something like this in the beginning. We could see a glimpse of those two Breathing Techniques in action, and get a nicely done action sequence that served purely for being entertaining to watch, no matter whether seen in the cinema or at home.

Glad to see everyone resting after that intense fight in the swordsmith village.

It's nice to see Nezuko without that bamboo in her mouth even though I got use to seeing her with that.

The OP by My First Story and Hyde is just the best.

I wonder why Gyu doesn't want to take part in the Hashira Training. Is he hiding something? Is it possible that he already has that mark?

Ah i see, Sir Tengen still doing fine with his harem and daily life, eh? I like his eye-patch there, looks so flamboyant.

So Hashira Training arc start out from the Stone bashira proposal, with Giyuu out of the picture because of reason. Kanroji sharing the same brain cell like Tanjiro wasn't really unexpected. Inosuke and Zenitsu return for more screen time, and more unbearable scream. Oh god hell no staph! Been long time to see Tamayo, she's now officially been asked by Ubuyashiki to help the demon slayer corps on these little hashira training arc...

I heard this is a very short arc to begin with, and the next shall be more hype. So making this as a sole season campaign kinda weird at first and unnecessary at second, at least to me. Since you have the more profitable format, like movie, or even special ova. Tho, still fine to looking forward every week since ufotable visual can't be miss to follow around.

With that reason, next!

Ahh yes back again with demon slayer since the swordsmith village arc aired last spring and which by coincidence is airing in spring yet again which is nice bc it’s feels like I be watching Demon Slayer on a yearly basis anyway this episode was GREAT to watch, 45 minutes of pure peak and fun and the anime original content in the beginning was fucking AMAZINGGGG man like bro wdym we get to see the snake pillers breathing technique when that shit wasn’t even showcased in the manga until the final battle with Muzan in the infinity castle arc so seeing that was fire asf, Ufotable is really taking the source material and elevating this shit man I love it๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The opening is a banger too i don’t think this show has ever had a bad opening๐Ÿ˜ญ

Inosuke is such a character man why is bro crashing thru windows for no reason? And why is Shinobu so goddamn nice man? I guess maybe she’s rich asf and can replace that window in a split second haha๐Ÿคฃ

I totally forgot how useless the demon slayer swordmans are like these guys are litera NPC’s and I never say that a lot but thank god the background characters are getting somewhat of a better chance at standing up against the demons bc they’re just easy pickings for the demons ong๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

I wonder if that whole Muzan vs Yoriichi flashback happens in this season or does it happen in the next? If not then this season finna be even more lit๐Ÿ”ฅ

I like these exposition moments in demon slayer when there's no fighting. I believe this is season has a lot of it, but at the same time the last of it we get right? Anyway, glad to see the demon slayer I love back in action

I waited until this season finished so I could binge it, two months went by quick.

The opening scene with the Sanemi and Iguro was badass! I’ve been waiting to see them in action for a long time and it was totally worth it!

The mystery of the mark is slowly being unraveled. Once the Hashira figure out how to control it, they’ll have the upper hand…hopefully. The Hashira Training was a good idea and hopefully everyone becomes stronger as a result. Seeing my fav character Tengen come back, full of vigor as always, made me hype! The retirement life doesn’t suit someone like him.

How far we’ve come to see Nezuko walking around talking and happy. I was dying laughing when she said welcome back Inosuke to Zenitsu ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚I felt hurt for him LOL! She must be protected at all cost!

pretty average. half of it was just him laying in his hospital bed, eating food, and discussing the plot with that guy. (hooray for boring exposition to advance the story instead of just showing us the story and letting us figure it out ourselves. felt like they were simply trying to fill an extra 5-10 minutes of time in order to get a full episode). it also included that retired dude explaining what each of the other training sessions would be...as if we wouldn't have learned that anyways once they started training?!?!

only interesting bit was falling into demon lord's labyrinth and the limited "mark" info. i guess everybody that gets the mark dies, or turns into a demon, or something "bad"

I probably think zenitsu is a bad character.
in the whole series he acts as a coward and only gets serious in sleep and then suddenly because of a latter he got from his sensei make him strong without anything atleast he should have fought one battle wide awake for a little to take him seriously at the end this is like whole series use him as a clown as a comedic relif and then suddenly end is near so make him serious wow...๐Ÿคก

Does the white haired guy know any other insults than "bastard" lmao

Bro I watched all of the other seasons in dub and I had to switch to sub because dub was awful.

Lmao, the birds that belong to the Kanroji and Tokito were also all happy and giddy. "all who have a mark will, without exception..." and it wasn't complete?

Pretty good episode overall, I think switching to the sub made me like this a bit more lmao. The last crow was weird, never thought I'd see one with human looking eyes.
