Still gives me chills

this series is just as shounen as it can get lol, dont think about it too hard

I mean they're usually pretty well warranted or explained power ups. Nezuko unlocks her blood demon art which doesn't really need explaining, she's a pretty powerful demon so it stands to reason she'd be able to use one eventually. And Tanjiro's dad taught him his hinokami ritual dance/breathing when he was younger which unbeknownst to Tanjiro was adapted from a certain sword breathing technique which we learn more about later. As for their power ups later on, they're all given pretty basic but satisfactory explanations in my opinion. The writing is never super deep or complex or anything and as long as you're not looking for that sort of story then it's damn good entertainment in my opinion.

Visuals and music aside, I really hate the writing of this episode and it's indicative of a lot of the overall writing in this series. Tanjiro and Nezuko both get huge upgrades because ????? I dunno. Just deus ex machina upgrades because the plot needs it. A lot of the progression in this anime just doesn't feel earned from a character writing standpoint. If it happened once I'd be like, you know, whatever sometimes a story you can just have that. It's kind of consistent though.

Aside from the dope ass animation, can we please appreciate how damn fast tanjiros va talks at 19:35

Yeah easily the best season 1 episode. When Demon Slayer leans into its strengths with its gorgeous visuals and music and exciting action, it hits. Even if I can’t bring myself to care about the story or characters too much the production side more than makes up for it.

The Kagura dance flashback with the music in this episode is a chef’s kiss moment.

Imagine being Zenitsu on the brink of death, wounds all over, and someone comes up and asks if you're alright lmaoo HELP HIM 😭 Also crazy how looking back this episode is just a tease of what the studio is capable of animating. Looking forward to future reactions

This episode is unanimously Everybody's favorite from season 1. Even a demon Slayer "hater" such as myself has to admit, this s*** goes hard‼️

Belac

When you hit so hard that it make appears the credits

I don’t even like demon slayer that much and this is still one of my favorite anime episodes 😭

Optumus

Five years passed, and it’s still one of the top tier anime episodes.

KumiRei

A lot of people were comparing the Tokyo Blade play in Oshi no Ko to this anime, this episode really helps you see why 😂

Chelly

Demon Slayer isn't my fav but I was waiting for you to see this ep. The visuals and music in this one get me every time. Eps like this one can make the annoying parts a little more bearable when you know stuff like this is in the cards.

The music piece at the end sequence is called 'Kamado Tanjiro No Uta' https://youtu.be/4o6wKKUB4z8?si=FJTq9-RxIMJ_ZCV3 After the broadcast of this episode, many requested the full version of the single song and they released it, even though the full soundtrack had yet to release.

I like the way they did it here where the position would change depending on whos talking

skrrt

Such a good episode

skrrt

Pretty off topic but does anyone else vastly prefer when the subs are on top or is that just me

SimplySora

I heard the manga author actually cried watching that last sequence. This was just a tiny preview of how awesome all the other fights are gonna be moving forward.

Sarai

Ofc (i don’t wanna make people mad and disrespect the author) 👀

Meru Tenchin

I mean let's be honest, that goes for every episode lmao

Diego Castagnetti

She was like “damn they made my shit even better” 😂

Meru Tenchin

The author cried when she saw this episode, totally undestandable lmao
