Watched it on Crunchyroll.
On topic, no. It’s very good to look but it didn’t push the story a lot.
Get excited!

Where is the "No" option ? There are so many more anime episode from the history of anime that top this scene .
The first one that came to mind for me is Bleach Epi 54 . I get it Bleach had become so bad towards the second half but the peak has higher high than most . In episode 54 where Ichigo rescued Rukia in front of all Gotei 13 when hope was all gone , one-shotting the Vice Captains and immediately confronting Byakuya was the coolest scene back then . Cue Ichigo theme Number One OST for maximum hype
The next one would be Stardust Crusader final fight of Jotaro vs Dio in episode 47 . IMO it's one of the best fight ever written where it's a battle of wits on top of power . From the
, it's really peak anime .

rush punches , time stop , amazing VA, magnet trick , knife attacks , heart stopping and Dio tricking Jotaro into punching him towards Joseph

One season. Movie picks up exactly where Season One ends. Season Two is later this year.
Season One is volumes 1-6 of the Manga, the movie is volumes 7&8.

Great anime and manga. Definitely a rushed ending though and I feel a lot of people hate the sidekicks because they aren’t fully fleshed out characters with backgrounds until way later. Movie was peak animation with Broly

Maybe I'm too old for shonen anime. But I think Demon Slayer is so average. I really don't understand why it's so popular. And oh my god, that coward kid is insufferable.
But having said that, I think the scenes that show the demons' backstories are really touching.

Anyone know why the Hulu version of Demon Slayer has a much shorter opening than say the Netflix or Funimation versions? I imagine it’s just the TV version since it’s so much shorter, but I do like the full opening a lot. As for the characters, Zenitsu is okay so far. Sometimes I hate him and sometimes I think he’s funny. Inosuke is a much better sidekick to Tanjiro, though. At least he isn’t a coward like Zenitsu.

Yea I think that's just the US TV cut.

Its OK, it's nowhere near older stuff like Kenshin vs Sojiro

Most fight sequences from Kenshin are better than KnY but it's old and not relevant so it'll be ignored.

When it was good bleach was hype as fuck, the ost was fabulous in that one.
And even when it was bad, it still had some incredible episodeslike this one

I mean, the soul society saga is pretty great.You say this, and then you immediately praise Bleach?
And for your information, i'm loving demon slayer, but the question of the topic is not if i'm loving the damn thing

Well we're talking about a single episode here , not the entire series .
And also the end of Mugen train is a better episode than Ep19 if it counts , and it only gets better (manga reader here) .

I don't see how anyone can say one single episode is the best of all anime. That is just crazy talk to me. That is like asking me what is the greatest metal song of all time. I couldn't tell you because there are too many great songs.

Ugh, Deemon
Seriously tho.
I can't find anything about the show that makes it unique or special, or even standout to a large number of anime that follow the same trope.
This anime is great for those who are unfamiliar with anime, but anyone who has spent an extended time watching multiple series would acknowledge that this anime is just an anime with a new fresh coat of paint that strikes the eyes of non-anime fans.
Legitimately, I give this anime props for getting people to watch anime.
So many of my girlfriends friends, who are far removed and beyond from a weeb, started watching anime after stumbling on it on Netflix.
So for that, it's great.
But I dont think it's even close to a top 10 anime of all time, though it definitely is a well made anime.

Finally got to episode 19, it was very good, and I thought it was certainly the strongest episode so far. But it is not the best anime thing I have ever seen.
I was glad the whiny kid was not in this episode but for a few seconds, that guy has almost made me stop watching the show.

I watched the whole series based on this recommendation, was disappointed. The patterns on the characters’ kimonos was really cool. Nice animation, not a bad series at all, but as others have said it just feels like shonen anime the anime. I will have to revisit cowboy bepop now to get those real feels.

Even among just Shonen anime, which some people think is all anime, it's not even close to the best episode. Really nice animation and decent emotional beats in the fight scene is far from enough to compare to peak anime, it's just the best in an enjoyably presented but merely above average Shonen anime.
If you're looking just at episodes containing fights, Kakashi vs Obito (Naruto) and Netero vs Meruem (Hunter x Hunter) are just two of many fights that are better.
If you're looking at all episodes, many hundreds of episodes across series surpass it. Hunter x Hunter alone has at least 50+ episodes I'd put above any Demon Slayer episode.

i was not even impressed by the animation since in classic ufotable fashion the 3d backgrounds match dick shit with the stiff rotation of the camera.
The effects and shit are pretty tho, as per usual with ufotable.
If we are talking about studios managing the budget using CG and effects i find Jujutsu Kaisen to be much more impressive.
But yeah, whatever, this anime is way more popular than anything else and i don't get the appeal besides some kind of cool character designs and the flashy effects.
Episode 1 , actual good animation of rotation of the camera.
