          Its Ok, but its overrated in my opinion

          This episode is good. It has some great fight strategy and a little level of epicness. But the pacing seems extremely off track to me. One of the creatures is really too much over the top. And the fight scenes really seem cheap.

          Nearly Perfect!

          This is the kind of episode could make you remember forever. It's so good from start to finish. The only boring moment is when two devils jumped out and fighting. New characters were quickly introduced, new feeling and it's so attractive. Really good episode. I love the music as well, so very traditional sound, it brings me exactly Japanese vibe.

          BEST ENDING FOR THIS SHOW SO FAR

          I COULD WATCH THE LAST 5 SECONDS OF THIS EPISODE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS EVERY SINGLE TIME. 10/10 episode

          wow what a nice episode to watch

          The soundtrack of this show is very good, ok the anime has cliché elements, but it is a well done cliché that works very well

          9/10.
          10and_mikkelsen

          Just really solid!

          This is the first episode that really give you a taste of whst this show is capable of in terms of action and animation!

          There is a sence of tension and excitement as you know that Tanjiro is about to face the toughest challenge yet and bridge the gap between a trainee and Demon Slayer!

          The episode gets dark and brutal when it has too and you feel the stakes are at there highest thus far!

          With all this show is gonna offer, I still think the animation and visuals are very well done! It holds up very well and the movements are just fluent! It looks like a painting moving at times and trust me when I say.. that this is nothing compared to what this show is treating us with latter!
