Now that Enmu is dead, Tanjiro is injured, the next big boy, Akaza is here. One of my favorite villains in this show so far facing none other than Rengoku and boy does he have an impact there, of course, he's the upper moon three. Wisdom words coming out of Kyojuro and Akaza trying to recruit Rengoku in his squad. The OST was so cool in this episode.

The visuals are just as beautiful as the movie, so yeah... pretty cool... Quite a few new cuts this time around. Well, we know what's coming next? The last episode is next week to end this and then we move on to the main dish.

Anime-to-Movie differences: No new animation cuts, just brief static ones:
- Upper Three Akaza's stare
- The usual post-OP & pre-ED credits

The fight with Akaza is definitely up there as one of my favorite sequences. Full of stunning cuts charged with so much emotion.

I love the scene where Rengoku just stares back at Akaza and says Tanjiro is not weak.

I'm not ready to go through next week again.

I think the beginning scene when the train crashes is longer than the movie version few seconds, especially the fall of Tanjiro and his look to the train conductor.

While Enmu was a powerful user of the arts Akaza was that in terms of martial might. The fight between him and Rengoku was truly breathtaking and showed well the kind of battles that veteran slayers fight on their quest to protect the innocent. On the flip side this also showed just how powerful upper rank demons were.

Penultimate episode of this tv version for mugen train with the big dog making his grand debut. Akaza is here, again, to offer eternity to Rengoku so that they may duel forever. Of course flame boi won't accept such a ludicrous offer form a demon, no way Rengoku could revoke on his demon slayer oath. Beginning of the episode replayed a bunch of last episode with Tanjiro and Inosuke taking down Enmu. Whom then this episode had his sad regretful speech saying he's sad he couldn't be more powerful like an upper rank. Which is a funny coincidence given that Akaza shows up immediately after Enmu says that. But the reason Akaza is there is because Muzan wants Tanjiro dead, which is why Akaza attacks Tanjiro first not Rengoku. Those two just fight since Rengoku is protecting Tanjiro and Akaza becomes intrigued with Rengoku. This here was only the first part of their fight.

THE BOY IS HERE!!! Akaza finally makes his appearance and is, as expected from the Upper Rank 3, a formidable opponent. Rengoku is holding his own pretty well, but even for a Hashira, we see him still struggling to gain the upper hand. Man, the OST for this fight is seriously so godly, I want to experience it in a movie theater again with how amazing it is.

The action is always peak. This was honestly my favorite part of the anime and I've been waiting for this. Rengoku vs Akaza is honestly one of the most intense fights with insanely good soundtrack. Of course, ufotable makes it much better. Sadly, the outcome of the battle is not what they expected. It's almost time for the new arc.

I like manga/animes when the author doesn't shy away and kill important characters, killing people off does bring tension, things are at stake here and I like it.

This episode was pretty damn good, too bad the other Hashiras weren't around to help Rengoku, I don't think 1 Hashira is enough to beat someone like Akaza 1v1 but 2 Hashiras would definitely win.

5/5 episode.

Rengoku got a bad day to meet the 3rd strongest upper moon... some people calling Rengoku's weak, but he's actually strong since he's fighting a strong demon after all....
But then again... I didn't read the manga... so I don't know the other Hashira true power yet.

This villain seems decent, Ishida Akira as VA is always a good point 😌
The train villain's death scene was way too long and a very weak attempt at making anyone feel pity towards him.
The Akaza vs Rengoku fight was cool.
Rengoku is the only likeable character in the show so far but

Honestly I'm so upset over the hype of this Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen, I was really hoping to see some backstory and try to understand why an upper class demon even shows up in the first place. I've seen the movie, loved it and I watched all six episodes until now but skipped most of it because it was JUST like the movie, the LITERAL same, we can see some new details here and there but that's it............ That being said I hope episode 7 gives me something because honestly I would rather not see all this again because Regonku's death really pains me. I'm giving it a 5 out of 5 because like I said I loved the movie....but I was waiting for something else.

Finally my favorite part of the Demon Slayer Movie which is Akaza vs. Rengoku fight. The animation in this version is just as good as the movie version.

No matter how often I see Rengoku vs Akaza, it's always such an epic battle with really great animation. I didn't notice anything outstanding new compared to the movie, maybe some shots, but that's about it.

There's still a lot I wanted to know and and which left me with questions after finishing the movie, like why did one of the upper demons appear. Hard to tell what the next episode will look like and how much new things we will get to see towards the end, but what I know is, that it will be torture for my heart all over again. Not sure if I'm ready for this type of depression level.

I think that was the most underwhelming episode of all so far.

Akaza is a cool villain, but a completely overpowered demon.
He could have conquered Japan on his own and put the demon banner on it.

Rengoku looked super lame with repeating third form and fourth form and having a weak defence. More wasn't actually happening I think.

So far I thought that the action is the weak point of this movie turned into an anime,
It's difficult to pace it properly when the movie just hadn't more substance.
