Episode 2 starts off much funnier and lighter in tone than episode 1 did. I think it may have been the unexpected clash of tom=nes but I found that little opening exchange with Tanjirou trying to buy a basket off a random villager much more amusing than I should have.
There are sweet or funny moments scattered throughout. And the expo is sofen, everything is shared with us through fairly natural sounding conversation rather than the exposition dump used to establish the setting last episode. Sure there were a few scenes of Sakonji lecturing Tanjirou and the audience but for the most part, information was doled out in small servings through their interactions and everyone made perfect sense.
Turns out that Ginji seeing some potential in Tanjirou asked Sakonji to make him his student and teach him to become a demon hunter. Sakonji for his part wants to make sure the boy has what it takes before investing too much in him. While Tanjirou is just trying to find a way to keep his sister safe while he searches for a way to turn her back, and the organization is his best bet so far.
The tone has also lightened up quite a bit, with a few genuinely funny moments and a much more action that drama driven episode. Sakinji still brought up the uncomfortable fact that letting Nazuko live is putting everyone at risk and may not be viable in the long run but the conversation moved on pretty quickly from the subject. And looking at the ED this time it seems there are more lighthearted sweet moments to come. What do you think?
My favorite moment this episode is when Tanjirou hesitate to bash the demon head with a rock. It really good cause it show his off Tanjirou kind nature. He may ready to kill demon, but he want at least to give them a quick and painless death.
This was a strange episode in many ways. As I mentioned in some of my previous episode reviews, events in Demon Slayer seem to be speeding towards a premature conclusion, considering how many episodes have been slated for this run.
Because, after their death, we learn that these two demons were not, in fact, a part of the Twelve Moons. Mainly because they were too weak. Something that dismays Tanjiro seeing as how they were big trouble to deal with.
This episode was good, well animated and packed with some good gore and action. I just think the sudden turn away from the building plot is a little jarring. I know I kept saying that were building to Kibutsuji at a startlingly quick pace, but the fact that we leave that behind without addressing it is a little odd to me.
Whether you're a newcomer who has a hit a roadblock or just want a refresher on how to watch Demon Slayer in order, scroll on down below: we've got the full story for those who want to dive straight into demon-slaying adventures with Tanjiro and the gang.
With Demon Slayer season 4 officially happening, too, there's never been a better time to start the series. We'll also answer any burning questions you may have, including what version of Mugen Train you should watch, how many episodes there currently are, and all the latest on Hashira Training arc's (unsurprisingly) complicated release plans.
To keep things simple, we recommend watching Demon Slayer season 1 and then picking either the Mugen Train feature film or the Mugen Train recap arc (episodes 27-33) to watch. From there, you can watch the Entertainment District arc (episodes 33-44) as normal.
A second Demon Slayer 'movie', To the Swordsmith Village, was released earlier in 2023. It bundles together episodes 10 and 11 of the Entertainment District arc and the first episode of season 3, AKA the Swordsmith Village arc. This is largely redundant. We recommend just jumping ahead to the proper TV episodes.
A fourth season, titled Hashira Training, is also on the way but will begin with a 'To the Hashira' movie which will consist of the first episode of the new season. You can watch that a few months early in February 2024 or the one-hour premiere in Spring 2024. The choice is yours.
Demon Slayer season 3 episode 1 will be available on Crunchyroll on the same day that it airs on Japanese TVs, and the anime streaming service will simulcast new episodes each week in every region it's available.
While we have known for a while exactly when Demon Slayer season 3 debuts in Japan, Crunchyroll only confirmed the time episode 1 would be added to its library internationally a few days before its release date.
New episodes of simulcast shows are added to Crunchyroll on the same day that its shown for the first time on Japanese TVs - but typically arrive on the streaming service a little bit after its original air time.
An official episode count for Demon Slayer season 3 hasn't been revealed by Ufotable or Crunchyroll. All we know for certain is that the season premiere will be an hour long, which is half as long as the Mugen Train movie.
It took the anime 11 episodes to adapt the Entertainment District Arc. And seeing as the Swordsmith Village Arc is a few chapters more in the manga we'd expect a similar episode count for Demon Slayer season 3 if not longer.
To watch Demon Slayer season 3 and other simulcast shows on Crunchyroll you'll need to sign up for a paid membership. Crunchyroll Premium plans begin from $7.99 a month and offers access to tens of thousands of anime episodes from popular shows like Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family and Attack on Titan.

Netflix US, Hulu and Funimation all have past episodes of Demon Slayer in its library. Both Hulu and Funimation Premium Plus are priced from $7.99 a month while Netflix is available from $6.99 a month for the Basic with Ads plan.

When demons murder Tanjiro Kamado's family and all that's left is his sister-turned-demon, he sees a glimpse of humanity in his infected sister. He vows to join the secretly coveted demon slayer corps and find a way to turn his sister back into a human.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba took the world by storm when its anime adaption hit television screens in April 2021 with its stellar animation quality, lovable protagonist and wonderful storytelling. The world quickly fell in love with Tanjiro and his sister as they delved into the world of the legendary demon slayers.
Many will find that the best Demon Slayer episodes are met with praise for their animation quality and the fifth episode of Season 3 is no different. The introduction of Mitsuri and her whip sword gave studio Ufotable the chance to flex their animation muscles in preparation for Tanjiro's beautifully animated Sun Halo Dragon moment found at the end of the episode to compliment Tanjiro's wonderful voice actors.
Tanjiro, with the help of Inosuke, finally severs the neck of Emnu and in doing so, derails the Mugen Train. Sustaining heavy injuries and unable to battle, Tanjiro must sit and watch as the Upper Rank Three demon, Akaza, emerges from the forest and attacks Rengoku.
Serving as one of the most harrowing battles in the series, Akaza vs. Rengoku left audiences feeling helpless. Witnessing Akaza's insane demon healing factor keeping him from true harm while Rengoku continues to take mortal wound after wound, makes the battle feel tormenting as the only reasonable conclusion becomes more and more visible.
Nezuko, Genya and Tanjiro pursue the real body of Upper Moon Four. But in order to finally put an end to the merciless demon, Tanjiro must make a choice: let Nezuko die from exposure to the coming sunrise or hunt down Upper Moon Four before he escapes.
