| First things first, why in the world they’ve made this season’s opening so fucking misleading. Bad song side, I’ve been thinking about this since the first episode, but none of the stuff they’re advertising in the opening would happen in however many episodes we’re left with lol. Anyway, the pace we’re going with it seems we’d have individual episodes dedicated to each hashira’s training plus a lot of original content, which is… one weird choice to say the least lol. If we end up having hashira versus hashira instead of people getting trained, what’s the point? In the midst of everything though, if anyone was wondering about the upper rank four and that eye, yeah, we've got a new one now, that’s why those eyes… the biwa woman. We’d see the relevance in due time… when these people would get free time from playing with those paper planes. Like, bro, what the fuck are they even doing????? This is the original content???? Lmaooooo. |

| been enjoying every second of this season. The training arc getting an arguably better treatment than last season is crazy tho. you can’t make this shit up lmao. that aside, a competition for paper planes… what. how is that even helpful in the slightest. Muichiro vs Sanemi vs Obanai was short but very intense. Idk, I think im having a better time with this season than the last one. the pacing feels nice, sceneries keep looking very detailed and of high quality. animation has definitely improved and feels more consistent (not a surprise), plus we get a ton of screen time for each hashira. plus the original scenes are very entertaining. plus tons of hashira interactions we didn’t get in the manga. couldn’t ask for more. Mitsuri seems to be next. |

| @Softhenic03 I Mean this for bonding the slayer and hashira and ufotable did this cuz they're probably think they didn't have enough screen time for that arc and to see they're actually interaction is nice or you can just jump to infinity castle where people want lol |
| Another week of training arc training hard to get stronger against the upper moons  |
 |
| Paper airplane contest... 10/10 masterpiece |

Reply to jas-samaaa
4 more eps & its over. I mean i like the anime original scenes but yh this season is dragged out forsuree.
| @jas-samaaa yeah this just for people that care for characterers interaction since the beginning, IM pretty sure many people skip this arc for a real action and if that scene happened they just going to youtube it lol. |
| Okay lets go, more training i guess. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| I liked how Tokito’s emotions changed rapidly as soon as he saw Tanjiro, from stern to happy. As usual, his crow is cocky as ever. Whoa, Tokito goes out at night everyday to train with Shinazugawa and Obanai. And damn, it’s 2 against 1 to be fair? Is Tokito actually stronger than these two individually? These guys actually want to beat up Tanjiro and I want them to be beaten instead. Which is highly unlikely, but atleast not give them the satisfaction. Tokito, on the other hand, is plain excited. Tokito comes off as biased towards Tanjiro. He asks Tanjiro to go to the next Hashira in just 5 days. Whoa, Nezuko is being taken care of by Urokodaki. Just loved to know it. 🥰🥰🥰 The next Hashira is Kanroji. There’s going to be more food talk and food contests. |

| Every episode leaves me stunned with the beautiful visuals. I mean these are some of the best sceneries we have seen a TV anime. This is high quality wall paper material. The consistency is admirable. The original content is great. I am enjoying this arc more than the previous one and Ufotable's decision to extend on the source material is working for me. It is filler but it doesn't feel bad at all. Sanemi and Obanai vs Muichiro was short but intense. Definitely my favorite part. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| The Queen on Tsunderes has been ressurected as a Crow... (the way of speaking) It has been 84 years since I last heard Kugyu doing a role similar to it..This alone makes watching this worth it |
 |
| Muichiro showing us why he’s the prodigy of the modern generation this episode. I feel like ufotable is definitely pushing for more of the original content to be at the first half of the season. Based of the manga and what's left of hashira training I feel like the last few episodes will be less original content. But hey all content is good content |

| This was Tokito's episode. He was super cool and amazing in this episode. Taking on that 2v1 without any hesitation. Also, his soft-spoken nature with Tanjiro was cute. All the other kids wanted the same treatment from him but NOPE. LOL. Also, Tokito's crow is super adorable, Rie Kugimiya effect. :3 The paper plane competition was super cool as well and kinda sweet with all of them doing it together which was nice. Now, off to the next Hashira, Mitsuri. |
 |
| This was a great episode that showed their comraderie, although the corps look like 4th graders with a sword hopefully they become stronger.Looks like he'll be training with sexy pink hair girl, I hope he gets stronger. I think already he could be in the running for hashira. |

Dukino said: Though the response in itself is plenty sterile, at least you used paragraphs. Also, all I just did was write what ACTUALLY happened this episode, shocking you don't share the same opinion as all you do is recap stuff after all.If you're not happy with it then stop watching. Oh wait, you won't because you live to complain. Hashira vs Hashira is training for them. Did you not hear that? They said the normal corps members don't challenge them so they need to spar together. Since when is the opening of an anime "what's been advertised"? Openings are NOT a binding contract of what's to come. Get that through your thick skull hater. Sucks that you don't like paper planes. They're pretty cool, maybe try making one. Oh wait bet you can't and that's why you're complaining And, please stop spamming words like complaining or hater. After all not everyone could see playing with paper planes helping in any way to train like you could. |
|
| Man I was reading some news while watching the episode and then episode stopped playing, I thought "that was fast, I feel like nothing important happened", watched again and yeah, bonding and practice with paper planes. Hit me back when this gets good. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| So is it gonna be aired/released another hour earlier next week? Or is it time to skip a week again and then two hours earlier the week after? Or maybe we go an hour later next week? I really do wish they picked a time and stuck with it because I'm seriously getting whiplash. Not to mention it's annoying trying to plan anything like this. In any case. Id, but Tanjiro just visiting his (not so old) friends one by one, just to make sure he can't really learn anything from any of them, but can be used to make them just a touch more human with the new cadets, is just... obvious emotional manipulation being laid on even thicker than at first appears. I mean I am someone who does like "behind the scenes" stuff and just building character relations, but the pattern here is a little too lackluster. Tokito's complete 180 in mood and attitude when he barely even spots Tanjiro is cute af ofc, but feels a little weird and almost undeserved as I don't really remember them having bonded quite that much? Ah well. At least we got a nice pinup I mean wallpaper-worthy shot of him. Tanjiro and the others have been quite overdone for a while now, imo... |
| As ever Tokito's speed is mighty impressive. Would be pretty scary if you run into that many eyeballs when trying to shave time by taking an alley though. That spar between Tokito and the serpert and wind hashira's was quite the spectacle. The spar between Tanjiro and Tokito was fun as well and it was curious seeing Tokito smile so much during it. The paper aero event was a nice change of pace for the class. Overall a pretty balanced ep that featured a good blend of action via the training and the brief spar between the Hashiras and comedy via the aero event and the crows. Curious to see what Mitsuri would bring to the training. |

| Muichiro's personality switching between serious and lighthearted is hilarious. I liked the paper airplanes sequence. It's a great moment and beautiful use of imagery to show that everyone in the Corps is united under one goal and flying together as one. I think that's why we see the emphasis with Muichiro's smile, because this is what the Master wanted. |
| Those SoL episodes arent bad ngl. So far we got hinted about an upcoming demon fight that would probably happen in the next few eps 🤔 |

| @Dukino lol you got him buddy. Btw ufotable always show what happened in OP so they're probably Will still do it and I've seen all ufotable op and it always true especially that all Hashira breathing they just didn't show the true animation, maybe for suprise. |
| It was pretty cute how Tokitou changes his behavior when only around Tanjrou and then having Urokodaki back and know how much Tanjrou looks up to him was pretty touching, it was thanks to him that the siblings got to travel together after all, the bonus Mitsuri at the end was the cherry on top <3 |
| There's no way the author helped in this adaptation, it is so lame how they tried to increase the duration of a short arc with so much filler. Isn't the whole point of seasonal anime to stop with the filler past animes had? |
| The plane throwing competition is so cool! |
| the split personality of tokito is funny |
| Soooo many eyes and nobody noticed even one? :( |

| why are so many people butthurt about all the training?? LMAO its in the name of the season lmao stop complaning like a bunch of kids |
| Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. |
| The fight of Tokito vs Sanemi/Iguro was dope, but the paper plane part was kind of cheesy ngl. |
 |
| I'm enjoying the filler for the most part, the fight was dope.. but what the hell with the paper planes? Flying filler right there, skipped through it. 3/5 episode |
 <-- click that egg to make your waifus appear in real life |
| Lolz, so they really gonna do 1 Hashira 1 episode huh. This episode is even more filler-ish than the last. So you tell me this training that determines the fate of the organization, they just gonna do it like a school camping? Playing paper airplane contest? I see zero sense of urgency in any of them, is this really the training to prep against the upper moon? Is this Demon Slayer corp consist of only the lazy / relax bunch? I thought almost all of them have their family killed by the demons, this is the very reason how any sane person would join such dangerous organization that put their life at risk. And you tell me all those people are bunch of slackers who just want a chill life? Only Tanjiro and the 9 Hashiras are special? The author knew that his general setting about Demon Slayer corp are lacking in detail that makes it believable, that's why she makes everything about the corp as brief as possible, and never bother to put many chapters explaining the detail and how it works, but anime adding all those fillers further showcase that this Demon Slaying Corp makes no sense at all. They are NOT newbie students who never participate in any demon slaying mission before, they are ACTUAL active members, so how are they all this sluggish and useless? If this is a Pre Demon Slayer training school , then I can understand how some students act like that, but you tell me those veterans all act like that as a whole? |

Am I the only one who finds the word paper "airplanes" weird?
I hope it's just a translation issue but... why does this world have the concept of air"planes"?
They should have called it something else for consistency with the premise.

| @SiMPleT0N Because this arplane contest is completely anime original. It's not author's fault studio make useless fillers to break the setting. It also break the reputation of demon slayer corp in general by making it like a school training camp. Aren't those members actual veteran members who slayed couple demons before already , and most of them have their family killed and want to avenge their family? How are they all acting like students who want a chill life? Why do they even join the organization then? |
