Story was still perhaps a little rushed, but holy shit was that battle a feast for the eyes. Eat your heart out, Kimetsu no Yaiba, there's a new best animated fight scene in town. I love the Tanjiro vs Rui battle scene but I'll take beautiful, fluid hand-drawn art over CG any day, especially when it's this well done.

Much better than last week, while the first fight went pretty much instantly, at least Mori vs Dwei had the propper pacing.

Animation is still impressive.

Soo, we hated episode 4 in particular, does that mean we are obligated to hate everything else the series makes after and before?

This is just a dumb fun anime, no one is ratting it high because it got revolutionary writting...

My problem with the show is that it feels like I have no idea who the characters are. I mean,
a) the tournament the show is named after is over after less than half the show
b) each character's motivations are given little to no depth
c) we know nearly nothing about the main trio
d) everything is so awkwardly fit into episodes

i dont know if im missing something, but the show makes zero sense after 5 episodes, especially after the wedding episode and than daewi beating the shit out of mira.

thought it would be better

I guess I'm just a sucker for these kinda episodes cause I thought it was fantastic.

The fight between Mori and Daewi was awesome, the animation was great, the stylistic choices with the ink and complete change in art in the second half was awesome. The ink style especially was super cool, never would I have expected that they would choose an ink style and make it work.

Episode got me really emotional, from Han fighting for his friend and eventually when Mira comes in to help him get back up and accept that the three of them are friends now. Pulled all the right strings with me. Even teared up towards the second half as Daewi walked back to face Mori after Mira's message.

The epilogue with Daewi leaving the note to his friend that he wasn't alone was great.

I feel bad that I was expecting that he was going to get revived, or would be purposely "put under" in order to see Daewi's reaction. In some ways, having a friend rely only on you can be exhausting, but it seems that he's accepted that he's relying on the other friends. Although, it's a cliche and "cute" concept, it makes wonder if he would have won if he was fighting as blindly as before... or if fighting free is the only way he can "win".

This anime showed so much promise, so sad combats are just flashy moves that don't make much sense and poor animation.


this anime uses rotoscoping animation on the fight scenes using motion capture transferred to 3D models then rotoscoped thats why the sakuga does not look like your usual sakuga, source https://twitter.com/dotdotKam/status/1276664123498082307

It was a good episode. A good fight with an emotional background and cool ending, but was kind of short. I really miss longer fights in matial arts anime, like the ones in dragon ball that can last various episodes

Well, I know this episode was meant to be more emotional, but somehow, I didn’t get into that, I respect Daewi’s friend, but I don’t know both of them. What I was expecting was a huge fight with great movement and action, I still don’t understand the powers btw. Ok episode. That “you must fight for you” phrase is a great one.

Finally, a much more better pacing than last time. The sakugas flexing their work is so great, especially that calligraphic-style one.

At least, Han Daewi truly realized what it means to being part of the trio.

Damn finally a decent episode with decent use of backstory. The fight scenes was cool and I really like the bits where they changed the animation style in the latter parts of the episode.

Not gonna lie, I felt the build up of the relationship main trio is super rushed. I hope they really fix the writing and properly explain the power system in next episodes.

4/5

In this episode we see Han Daewi vs Jin Mori square off to advance to the GOH Nationals.

Here we understand why Daewi needs to win GOH, with his will strong enough to even PUSH his friends aside. That backstory was not that strong but still decent enough to develop Han's character and his relationship with Sungtae that sadly passed away. I like the "calligraphy-esque" sakuga in the middle of the fight but only bogged down with some stills and duds (but hey can't help that). In the end, Jin Mori won the Prelims (duh) as the commisioners and enemies watch from the distance. Han Daewi moves on and fixed their friendship with Yoo and Jin.

At the start I was really looking forward to the match..I was hoping that mori would beat the crap out of him..but fk that was disappointing...dawei? idk his friend died(i knew he would die)and that was little saddening, but overall I thought it was ok? Not too bad, but not amzing too..

That after-credits scene hit pretty hard damn. The episode was beautifully drawn as usual

great animation, but ultimately a kind of hollow fight considering how little reason there is to care about these characters or believe they are friends for any conceivable reason.

Great episode, definitely better than yesterday

the fight is superb and epic, the backstory is generic tho, Daewi is a best bro character all over it with bittersweet end to his best friend.

Really sad about his friend's death. Honestly I loved their flashback and relationship.. Would have shipped hard if he was still alive... They're such cuties too.

Definitely a really good episode, but with how rushed the story is I just didn't feel any emotions while watching it. Maybe just some awe here and there because of the animation, but that pacing is really horrendous. Who thought it was a good idea to pack webtoon adaptations into 13 episodes only.

Well still an enjoyable episode, at this point there's really no chance of getting a better pacing so let's just enjoy this.

I knew I’m gonna get flamed for saying this but screw it.

As a webtoon reader, I’m a little disappointed they left a lot of minor detail that makes the webtoon amazing. Like how their technique works and a flash of what’s actually happened in real time, not just saying the skill and “bam” the technique works. I knew they got no time to waste on the minor things and have to rush things a little bit because of the episode amount. And I know that the anime doesn’t have to be the exact replica of the manhwa.

Sorry if I make some of you frustrated cuz the “as a webtoon reader” stuff , just want to express my disappointment. BUT, overall it’s was an okay episode. Definitely the best out of the five.

Well a lot better then the last episode

I like that they give the character some background story while their where fighting.Instead of putting the tournament to a grinding halt like in previous episode

And I think this may have been the best episode so far

Jin vs Daewi was a great fight. Loved it.

Now that Seoul's preliminary is over, I guess we can expect more amazing fights.


I've seen people call them Mori and Daewi like every GoH fans. His grandpa' name is Taejin Jin. His name is Mori Jin. Mori being his name. Han's sister' name is also Han whatever. I've seen them being called Jin and Han like they're Japanese or mexican, but this is the FIRST time I've seen someone actually call one character "Daewi" and another "Jin" LMFAO
Can't wait for ya'll to call Mujin and iLpyo as park 1 and park 2.
Also can't wait to see people call Mira as "Yoo" LOL


I only called them "Jin" and "Daewi" since that's what the characters and some people in previous episode discussions called them. Well, thanks anyway. I'll take note of what you said.
