regardless of how good or bad the episode... I'm so sick of backstories every other episode. do we really need to know in detail every hashiras story?
at least for me it doesn't really affect in how attached I get to the characters. on the contrary It gets me bored as hell.
so youd just rather not know anything about why a character is the way they are or why theyre as strong as they are?? You see now if they stopped doing backstories for people youd complain and when they keep doing backstories for people youd also complain, its just impossible to please you people.

First wholesome backstory in a while. Mitsuri's just too strong for a man, it turns out that becoming a Hashira was her way of living. The SFX during the action scenes are absolutely beautiful. Choreography was good, but felt like it could be little bit faster. Still insane with her sword that is totally different from the other demon slayers.

Finally Mitsuri steps into the spotlight, and her backstory was not that bad compared to the other two "dark" sob story backstories. Soundtrack and animation were notably better this episode as well, though the CGI still irks me, not that the CGI is all bad, it's just not characteristic of this series. At least this episode got me to minimally care about what was going on the screen, which is better than nothing. 70 minute finale to close out this season, I just want it to be over as this season has been nothing short of disappointing compared to the previous two seasons and movie.

Mitsuri expressed a lot of emotions this episode. We got to see her past too. Iguro crushes on her. 

Damn, Genya chews demons to gain strength. I'm not sure, but why do I feel like this is the first time Tanjiro is cursing?

He was quite pissed at Enmu for using memory of his family against him and at Akaza for running away.

I've been complaining for a while for the lack of content that we had of mitsuri even though this season was focused on two pilars, not only on one. Nevertheless, this chapter has provided with so much Mitsuki content and with such high quality (and this is not some sort of horny comment, leggit ;;). She is a lovely character who deserves the very best.

Awesome animation, awesome OST. I didn't mind the backstory this time, god-tier battle scenes. I had to watch some parts more than once.

Random guy refusing to marry thicc love hashira because of hair color not so believable though haha.

I mean toward the end when Hantengu claimed he never lied once I was like “Well how am I going to believe you’ve lied before if I don’t see it,I mean have you ever heard of “Acts Speaks Louder than Words” if you can’t prove your act is real how am I going to believe you if you’ve kept this up.”

Mannn why do they constantly have to diffuse any real tension with this baby animation. It makes an emotionally layered story into a joke. Is so annoyyyyingg in the truest sense. First it was extremely unbearable characters that would do it, now its numbing animation. Why they always gotta do that. The first 5/10 episodes really were peak in terms of how it handled such emotional tension. Showing any kind of mercy to demons, and carrying the weights of having your family murdered but still holding a pure and beautiful heart was really really lovely. Having to face a world that wouldnt accept demons, but seeing their stories, and having the main character make an attempt to change the perception people have of a l l demons, and actively try to help his demon family live a good life and maybe even get back to normal was something. Then all that turmoil followed by look at this dumb face. Its funny cause it looks stupid. Also check this character out, his thing is he only screams and cries, isnt that funny. Oh and this one he also only yells, and the main character makes stupid faces at them isnt that funny, ugh its the worst

Even this episode when the thunder came down from the sky and the demon was like did i get them, was the first time i felt real tension this episode because of how commanding that audio was. And I literally thought theres no way they would use those stupid faces here, this show can be bad but even they wouldnt waste this moment and the first thing we see is that STUPID FACE, like whyyyy. My brother in christ, please fucking s t o p

Still liked the episode, but ironically felt it was pretty weak. I love Mitsuri she's such a charming character, but I wish they showed how hard she worked versus how she couldn't find no man.

Otherwise the team is helping Mitsuri out. Somehow Tanjiro's adrenal is still going and he's running with a broken foot. We also find out why that other guy looks like a demon. Apparently he eats them and temporarily gets a boost. Honestly this entire time I thought the demon bite him and he was slowly turning. His strong will was just post-poning the process.

this episode was great and learning more about the love hashira was sweet since i feel like its been a while for someone to have a generally nice past, although she felt self conscious its not as bad as Genya's or Muichiro's backstory. Other than that I feel like next episode is when they will finally cut off the emotion demons head since it ended kinda on a cliff hanger this week and the fact its the 2nd the last episode next week it looks like. so yeah thats it givin this a 10/10 once again

Mitsuri finally got her spot in the limelight and it was a banger of an episode, her attacks were animated beautifully and has such a cool way of fighting with that long ass sword lol, and she’s such a delight personality wise so just a great time all around. Her backstory was an interesting one, it seems we didn’t get the whole thing so it may show the rest in the last episode but I did like what we saw of it, the men of her town are incredibly unbased tho because the fact she eats a lot, can kick my ass and has cool hair are all wins in my book lol.

And the fight so far has been pretty killer, tho Hantengu is definitely backpedaling at this point because Mitsuri is not letting up and the main trio has found the main body and seem to be delivering the killing blow right as the episode ended, but from my understanding we have an hour long episode for the last one so I doubt this is the end of the fight lol. But with one episode left, I can confidently say this has been another amazing season of Demon Slayer and I’m sad it’s near the end already.

The fight scene was awesome, no complaints about it, but the episode was okay-ish, why? her flashback is weak and kind of corny, I never liked her flashback in the manga and since the anime is basically an almost identical copy/paste of the manga, nothing did change about it, her flashback is as dumb as I remember it so meh, the episode lost some points because of it and not only that, we are still getting that fucking comedy on supposedly serious moments, I thought we were past that shit but I'm still getting that shit comedy and as you all know by now, I fucking hate it.

Good thing this episode has awesome animation in the fight scene, it's the only saving grace about it, as for the other things that happened in the episode, it was weak and meh, so yeah, the episode was okay-ish since it has good things and weak things in it.

I'm still not impressed with this season though, this is the weakest season IMHO but that shouldn't be a surprise, this arc is the weakest arc in the manga too, you simply can't polish excrement to make it shine, I mean sure, it can shine if you try hard enough but at the end of the day, it's still excrement, not saying the whole arc is excrement since it has some nice things in it but you get the idea.

3/5 episode and a 6.5/10 season so far IMHO, I may increase it to 7/10 if I get impressed with the last episode but if I fucking cringe with some shitty-ass comedy, I will end it with a 6/10.

WHAT A HORRIBLE BACKSTORY LMAO
No explanation why she's strong, no explanation why her hair is different than the family, no explanation on why her family didn't support her.

this is NOT how you do a backstory. Also a backstory during every major fight is such an awful narrative method when abused this often. Learn to build your characters over time

WOWZERZ she was "holding back" her power subconsciously because women shouldn't be this strong. this is a chef's kiss of top 5 bad writing lmao

Not a tragic backstory for once, Mitsuri is just that good, she doesn't need sadness to be that powerful, not only that but it may be possible she is like a flamingo getting her coloration from her food haha.

I loved this episode, quite a different tone, the color palette and specially the music were fantastic, it really was like this show was a magical girls one.

It was a good episode but its really starting to annoy me that Tanjiro suffers these "horrible" injuries last episode like getting his foot crushed or his ear drums being blown out, but suddenly in this episode he is able to run and hear perfectly.

This is easily the weakest Demon Slayer entry. I'm getting PTSD from Naruto Shippuden because of the stupid moments this show decides to add a backstory. And then there's the snippet of a backstory of that old dude... It's like the mangaka cannot write a villain without the audience knowing about their pitiful past. I can't help but compare this season to the Entertainment District arc and the latter is just better in every aspect.

you know backstories are there for some purpose.

And that purpose can be anything other than pity but demon slayer has backstories which are only there so that viewers pity demons, feel sad for them.

But this time author thought of something new and made a backstory without any purpose.

Fuck his/her/it's dumb mind.

Damn, Taishou Era people sure had shit taste. Like imagine not considering Mitsuri as wife material smh.

5/5 episode. Mitsuri's fighting style looks absolutely breathtaking and I gotta say OST was particularly outstanding this time. Classic Yuki Kajiura arrangements ftw!

So... Obanai x Mitsuri scene but no scene with Rengoku taking her as his Tsuguko? :/ :/ :/

That's... it? only one episode left and it cannot really save how average this season has been.

The fights are shallow, too many flashbacks, and the upper moons are disappointing.

Also, Uzui as a Hashira was a lot more entertaining than these two, just saying.

Wow... Mitsuri has the dumbest character backstory in the whole series by far.

Even the fight is just... Meh. The animation is great, but the fight itself is pretty lame. Nothing clever, creative or even tense about it...

This season has been mediocre at best. An absurd downgrade compared to the previous ones... -.-'
