    Underrated last episode

    I'm not saying it's worth a 10/10 but a 9.1 is too low, the first 5 minutes were a work of art.

    I'm glad the show is back on track with it's natural tone, this is what made Demon Slayer awesome to watch in the first place, dynamic and thrilling. This episode was a little goofy in areas but not drowning like the past few episodes. Tanjiro has a great heart and i'm glad his character never gave up in this series.

    Speaking of goofyness the ending scene could have been a little less goofy, and it ended a little shallow for my taste. Hope the movie does it justice.

    Looking back at all the ratings in this season i think this last episode fits in at a 9.4

    Ending was mint

    Good episode, leads directly to the Mugen Train movie.

    Great scene on the train, the camera angles, the soundtrack and the sound effects get you pumped for what literally comes next seconds after the episode ends in the story. I expect the film will be amazing.

    Season 1

    Review By Kamal K

    The story starts off with our main protagonist Tanjiro, who one day finds his entire family killed, with his sister, Nezuko being turned into a demon. Some other stuff happens, which eventually leads to him becoming a part of the Demon Slayer Corps. This immediately establishes a goal.

    The action scenes are jaw dropping and are something you would rewind the few seconds of that scene to see again. Tanijro as a character is also breath of fresh air in this shounen setting, because he do not have lofty goals like becoming king of pirates or something like that, he just wants to turn his sister back to human form once again and he do not rely on friendship power or activating his fourth gear on, nope he trains like any other human being to earn his power.

    I have been enjoying this anime a lot. From the awesome visual effects to the absolutely amazing soundtrack composed by talented people, and you have a highly enjoyable time from the beginning of the episode to the end of the episode. I'm only taking off one point because there were some moments that I personally thought were boring, and seeing that it follows a bit of the stereotypical shounen tropes kind of made me roll my eyes a bit. Still very highly enjoyable, even if this might not be for you.

    promising ending 10/10

    This episode is very wonderful, with the progress of events and I am about to finish the anime, I noticed that the anime has become better, especially with the emergence of many new characters, so now I am more and more excited for the second season in 2021.

    And this episode was very bloody and wonderful at the end, so I think this episode deserves a lot of admiration.
