| Ohhhhhhhh what... All of my what... This is just pure eyecandy and soothing for my ear. Those backgrounds, animation, breathing animations and soundtrack! And that ending!! If this continues, this will surely finish as my AOTS! I loved that basket scene, haha. At least it's not serious all the time which would be a little boring, good to see that. Also like how Tanjirou told us that the air is thin and harder to breathe. |

| I gotta enlighten it again, but the art/animation is very pleasant to watch, this anime has this little thing that makes it interesting to follow. I'm curious to see how the old man will train Tanjirou. Also the demon he fought seemed quite strong enough for a regular human, he can thank his sister who had a certain strenght. |
 |
| This ep was a little of a letdown tbh The beginning was way too light-hearthed to follow up a slaughter, and then it suddenly got darker again when the demon showed up. I feel like the dark component and the battle shonen component in this anime aren't on the same page, which kinda fucks up the tone of the show entirely. Also not the biggest fan of the fight as well, I understand u wanna emphasize Nezuko's chioce of helping her brother over eating, but c'mon, u can't have that demon at the mc's throat for like 5 mins without killing him, waiting for Nezuko to make her choice. Still, it was fine I guess, not as good as I hoped for, but still not bad by any means. (The cgi looked pretty good to me, I don't understand why people complain about the cgi in this anime so much) |
| Wow really hoped this would get better, but yet again with the constant inner monologues to the point of annoyance. Really beginning to think Ufotable hit their high point with Kara no Kyoukai and it's been down hill since. I'll give it one more episode but thinking this will be my 1st drop of the season |
| Nezuko in the basket is pretty adorable. |
| Lol, I had to laugh when that head rolled. This show has some really nice visuals and action. Looks like it's gonna be fun. |

| Dunno what you people were expecting, for the story to always be depressing and Tanjiro to constantly be sulking? The comedy could've been much more intrusive than it was, and honestly I'm glad Tanjiro's not a constant downer. He's trying to make the best of his situation. Even when going through hard times, there are more emotions than just sadness. Things don't have to be super duper serious all the time. Some of the CG looked a bit weird to me on first viewing, but going back it blended pretty well. The scene with him running through the traps was pretty intense. Good pacing too, the scenes felt a bit fast in the manga because of how quick you can read it I suppose. |

| Seriously loving this it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a shounen does anyone know if the manga is any good? Or does it fall off in the later chapters I’m considering buying it |

Not really impressed by the animation and the comedy is really unsettling. Its placed wrongly and it doesn't work for a show like this. This is going to be like Goblin Slayer all over again, pretty serious first episode, then turn off that edge in favor of Comedy and Fanservice. I mentioned GS merely as an example of going off the rails, not that this one would have fanservice |

| Damn that kick out of nowhere. That quality art and animations are top-notch. Good job of ufotable as always. Great ost and the opening is banger. Nezuko is so cute, great demon imouto we have here. So tempted to go read the manga. Really excited to look forward ! Beautiful ending. |

| Looks and sounds amazing plus I ttink the CGI is well done. Characters and story are unimpressive so far, like why tf doesn't the whole population know about demons if people seem to die daily from them. MC fails to stand out from other battle shounen protagonists, don't even know what to say about Nezuku pretty much turned into a plot device in episode 1 by the looks of it lol Altough this first test was quite lame I look forward our MC's training to become a Demon Slayer and Nezuku kicking ass. The setting really needs to be fleshed out a bit more for sure |

| A few jokes here and there, good. Too bad the direction/style and the "serious" scenes dramatize so much the series, leading to a big gap being crossed everytime. I would have liked more than a half-episode about the trial. vhagar8 said: (The cgi looked pretty good to me, I don't understand why people complain about the cgi in this anime so much) Well, the "enhancement" CGI does nothing wrong and the blurry background CGI mountains were more than okay but the "problems" appear as soon as they get into serious exploitation of CG like the race between the rice paddings (characters seemed simply paste on the 3D ground.) 4/5 |
| I really like this episode because of Tanjirou's determination to avenge his family that means training hard to fulfill that role. Geez, that scene where they both go to the temple is so scary that he thought there are humans actually in there. That Nezuko has her saliva dripping when she sees the corpse and blood. |

| this episode was well done once again, I am excited for the anime to get into the really good stuff the post credits scene really reminded me of old-school like early 2000's anime lol |
| Demons are resilient! Nice art and animation in this episode. The tax evasion has paid off! |
 |
| Loving this anime a lot~ <3 Nezuko in the basket is soooo cute! |
 |
| a bit different vibe from what I expected at first, but still enjoyable. The story felt a bit clunky but the animation was excellent yet again. The post-credits bit was cute! High hopes for this series. |
 |
| I really didn't expect to have such a good laugh, haha. I really love the way ufotable pull off their humour. And Kajiura's OSTs and ED were great as well. I thought I was watching Fate for a moment >-> And Nezuko is definitely a demonfu material. |

| decent episode we still pretty much in the prologue in a sense was not expecting a demon geodude felt weird laughing at the comedy due to the very heavy tone this show has set maybe once they lighting it up a bit those will be fine. will say easily my favorite OP this season thank you again Lisa knocking it out single after single |
 |
| Impressive episode, that demon knows how to run their mouth. Glad he got burned! Looking forward to the training! |

| Ehh... I know Nezuko is most likely suffering from hunger but man, she can't be this cute >.< Pretty enjoyable episode overall. The OST was on point like in the previous one and the animation was outstanding as well. The ED was also nice. It gave me some Kalafina vibes, by the way. Really looking forward to the next episode! |
| My god the animation and soundtrack alone are lifting this anime to great heights, you can't not love the show for those two sole reasons. The characters are very nice artistically speaking, and nezako is so cute! |
 |
| Just as greatly adapted as episode 1. This is the shounen adaptation of dreams. Idk why some people are already getting so turned off by a few comedic moments here and there that added character to those scenes. If you're looking for a series that's full of a needlessly edgy and brooding MC or something, you're watching the wrong anime. Xenocrisi said: Yeah, seriously. The beginning is decent enough itself, but the series really picked up after the first 10 or so chapters, and continued to stay consistently good to this day.AQUARIONFAN said: Seriously loving this it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a shounen does anyone know if the manga is any good?

BetoSCR said: we know it but he doesn't know so when he gets hit by rocks he says "a rock?" thats realistic,it doesn't matter if we've seen it,i really don't know why you guys don't like character thoughts,this series is full of character thoughts in fights,making strategies ecc.I really don't like Tanjiro as of now. He talks TOO MUCH even through thoughts. On top of this, he says (or the anime itself makes him say) too many obvious things. "SOMEONE THREW A ROCK AT ME!". We knoooooow, okay? We've seen it. Guess that episode was okay. The last half was meh due to the problem I've just pointed out, but the first half was very fun to watch. The production from Ufotbable is simply stunning, the OSTs are amazing, simply amazing. 3/5. |

People complained about Shirou in UBW not having enough inner monologues, and now people are complaining that Tanjirou has too many apparently. The monologues add so much to the character development; I'm happy for their inclusion. |

| Why does people complain that Tanjirou too nice when he hesitate to kill the demon? That his character from the start. If he suddenly turn into a cold hearted killer it would be inconsistent characterization. And also i don't have a problem with him being kind, not everyone have to be broody and downer in anime. It also show that he have a lot to learn and give him an arc. |
| Episodes go buy way too fast. Nezuko is too damn cute. |
 |
| Ufotable never ceases to amuse. I'm thrilled they went with the vibe of their best success (Fate/Zero) and made the soundtracks appealing like it. Even the ED seems pretty much influenced by it. This really is the best animation of the season. And damn now we have a new loli to protecc!! Nezuko is so damn adorable. That one kick, off the head came outta nowhere. And also that demon was played by none other than Midorikawa Hikaru, so cool voice for a villain. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| just a friendly reminder for some ppl, its a shounen ! even Berserk has some comedic moments , and u expect a shounen to be totally dark ? Monologues,comedy,yelling and explaining their abilities,tournaments,.. are big part of battle shounens so if u don't like these king of things u are watching the wrong genre. |
 |
| I'm already bailing. That was a chore to get through. I was tempted to give up half way through the episode. This week the protagonist was reluctant to kill a blood thirsty demon that had attacked hm, but had no problem launching an ax at the head of another human being a week ago? Wtf? The comedy here is all way off the mark too, like not funny at all. And, the horror wasn't hot either. There's blood and dead bodies, but the goofy design of the demon ruins the atmosphere. So far this show is all style no substance.... Anyway, not like I'm gonna stick around to see if it gets better. |
