i felt like s1 toned down the weird potato faces from the manga so i was glad to see them be pretty prominent this season

anime is not good
tiny nezuko taxiing wounded tanjiro across the entire battlefield was an amazing way to end the season

I think I will continue
watching this twilight world
as long as time flows.
What a great end to the season. Gf was really concerned uzui and inosuke would die like Rengoku. The way she saw it, any character who was at all aspirational or good aside from Tanjiro and Nezuko would be offed. While I know exactly what happens, I’m glad she’s wrong, for her sake.
Was really hard to not say anything while the arc played out though. To me, the dynamic of the upper six duo vs. tanjiro and nezuko is just such a great payoff - I couldn’t say anything about the resolution at all until it was done.
Tanjiro is still such a good boy.

God drat it, that scene of Tanjiro and the Upper Moon siblings got me again. I cried when I first read it in the manga and now the anime just made it worse for me

Maybe I missed a lore dump somewhere but I thought the Upper Moons had never been beaten before? How was there another Upper Moon 6 in the flashback?

I assume they can advance in rank depending on accomplishments and furthering their strength.

The Upper Ranks have not changed for over a Hundred Years. They have been beaten before, but not within living human memory.

Turns out that guy is a huge loser who died in such a lame way that not even the Demon Slayer Corps count his death as a victory.

A good time overall, though I'm not fond of the extreme fight scene time compression that the series has (mostly) avoided so far. Nezuko got some time in the sun, even if her bits of dialogue were only in flashback.

So what you're telling us is, you hate good things.

One of the things I like about KnY is all these motherfuckers clearly have some level of PTSD and aren't just dusting off their arms and going "just as planned".

You're going to hate Kanroji.

I noticed that, and it was funny as hell that she was also the crybaby.

I thought that it was purposeful that the three wives were obviously pastiches of the three characters. Could just be author draws characters that look similar though (yellow hair, crybaby, mature level headed one)

I mentioned it before but I love how chunky the tears are in this show. If tears were that big IRL you'd die of dehydration if you cried too much.

The ending loving rules

It's just that everything leading up to it is rushed as hell. Rushed in the sense that the characters you'd think would get developed never really get much development and instead it's just fight after fight after fight and people running into eachother, to fight while we get bombed with someones backstory in like 2 pages inbetween fights

Which like, is cool. And will definitely be cool with this level of animation. But also, a lot of missed opportunities tbh

Well you know how in a typical shounen the heroes would be confronting all of the BBEGs generals in sequence, sometimes having multiple bouts with them, until some final confrontation where only the BBEG and their most powerful general are left?

KnY first compacted that timetable by having Muzan himself off a third of his demon generals. Since there's 5 Upper Moons and 2 story arcs left, it's no secret to say it's going to get squished further.

It still all works out well, has an actual conclusion rather than abrupt cut, and some of the best fights are still ahead but it *is* rushed.

When you read it in one sitting it makes a lot more sense with how the show/manga handles the characters and tries to move away from shounen tropes.

MANGA: Muzan is just as tired of this poo poo as the Demon Slayer Corps.
