Shocked I tell you
Technically there are 3 Arcs left. But one of them is more like the Butterfly Mansion recovery arc.

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.

I didn't read the manga arcs that's before the Entertainment District arc. Did the anime add or expand scenes for those previous arc?

Aside for one episode for Infinity train, no. Its been a pretty 1:1 adaptation.

There was a GHOST here.

I'm seeing articles about fans getting irate because Mitsuri is in a bath in one panel and I'm just... What is it about this show* where a little boy getting pierced through the jaw is okay but a woman's body is verboten?

I'm a lady who's pretty aware of when a female char is being objectified for the audience and this ain't it, chief. A woman's body isn't sexual because it exists, loving hell.

* e: That is to say, the fanbase of this show.

If they cut any scene with best girl Mitsuri Kanroji then they should be replaced with longer, alternate scenes featuring her.

Isn't she called the Love Pillar? If it's sexual then it's probably because of that rather than her just being a woman.

It can't really be argued that Kanroji is not a fan service character, but she doesn't really act in any overtly sexual way at any point.

It's not like she's Maki. Her character design is meant to be sexy but that's about as far as it goes.

Finally got caught up. The fight scenes look crazy good, especially episode 10, but i feel it was a lot weaker than the first season just because it feels like it got bogged down a lot in drawn out fights. The first season felt like it had a lot more going on.

Then you probably won't like the rest of the "arcs" that are left because they're basically 99% centered around fights like this season was.

It sort of feels like the author at some point decided to stop expanding the worldbuilding and characters and just went all in on finishing the manga as soon as possible

There's a movie out in Japan right now that is basically a recap of the end of the last season with episode 1 of season 3 thrown in.

Looks like it's coming March 3rd for the west but I have no clue if that's streaming or just in theatres.

Don't know if this is a top down mandate or something local but for some reason they're doing a lot more showings of the sub version versus dub. At my local theater the dub version gets one show a day at 10:30pm.

drat, thought it was an actual whole movie like mugen train :(

when is the actual season 3 suppose to air?

I feel like ufotable is doubledipping too much with having the mugen train movie, then just using it for the first half of season 2.

then now using the end of second half into a movie with one episode tacked on.

But I guess they really need to make up for the extra budget.

This is not so unique, Attack On Titan did the exact same thing making a recap movie that lead into the first episode of the season showing in theaters for like one or two days (like this). It's not being shown longer then that unlike the train movie which was in the theaters for months.

So I watched it.

The advance screening DLC of the first episode is meh. Just a bunch of setup. Nothing worth having a big screen viewing for. Would fit perfect in like a showing across anime cons the next few months though.

And man, Demon Slayer is hype when its hype, but wow, is the humor the worst. The action and music is 9/10, and the human is the total opposite rank of like 2/10. Not gonna say much about the episode itself.

But man, rewatching the last two episodes of the Red Light District Arc on a huge screen with amazing speakers is a whole another experience. Not sure if they buffed the sound mixing, but man hearing it in the theatre was something else. I noticed so many beats I didn't before, and man the sounds of the sword strikes and bones crunching was so pronounced.

Went yesterday and yeah, the end of the Entertainment District arc is very impressive to see on a big screen. You can really tell that they're throwing a ton of money at this. One thing that was a little goofy about the viewing experience was how there were three sets of credits. They probably could have edited those out.

yea I agree about the credits thing. and it even included the eye catches sequence when the anime would go on a commercial break. like really?

I kind of wish ufotable would go the Fate/Stay Night route and just put out long theatrical movies for the rest of the series.
Like imagine seeing for the first time with a bunch of other people Zenitsu's god-like speed in the theatres. It was still really crazy to see on there, and I replayed it many times on my own.

I used the credits judiciously to get more beers. I was not the only one to do so.

The animation was great, the Infinity Castle sequence was super super cool. The dub was much more tolerable when it wasn’t a fight sequence and tiny nezuko was adorable, so I’m hype for the next season.
Even though it was the dub I’m not sad I saw it in theaters.

The battle between Uzui and Tengen was so beautifully animated I had to clip it. I particularly love the bit where they are going at it, and as they are screaming at each other the camera keeps cutting back and forth from their faces to the battle until it is fully zoomed in on just their eyes.

I read the rules and I didn't see anything against sharing short clips from a show. Obviously spoilers for the fight if you haven't watched the latest episode.

EDIT: I went ahead and re-recorded it to capture the entire fight. New clip URL below if anyone wants to watch it. Be sure to click on the little gear icon and enable 1080p.

I'm late joining the thread but thank you for making that clip, because everyone on youtube keeps skipping around it and cutting poo poo out. The visualization of Uzui's score before he starts cutting through Gyutaro's blood art is a key part of the fight!

So fun bit of trivia. According to extra materials Gyokko is actually Muzan’s favourite subordinate. Not cause of his personality or accomplishments though, but because the pots he makes are very high quality and beautiful, so Muzan can always sell them for a lot.
