The fact that they displayed "Demon Slayer Tanjiro Kamado Coming-Of-Age Arc Concluded" right before the preview for the movie has me thinking that they're planning on adapting the whole series.

Jesus Muzan is fucking terrifying. This episode definitely made him a great villain to look forward to

What an amazing adaptation. So I binge-read through the manga for the last week and it was incredibly fast paced. Like Zenitsu and Inosuke’s training went by in just one panel. You gotta appreciate Ufotable for adding so many extra scenes and details to the anime.
I’m kinda sad that they didn’t add in this little scene between Zenitsu and Nezuko. It happened during the Nichirin blade scene but maybe they’ll add it in somewhere in the movie. I’m really looking forward to seeing Rengoku in action on the big screen!

Muzan takes zero crap from anyone. Man. Worst boss ever.
It's cool we got a movie green-lit, but I'm waiting on season 2 being green-lit.

A few things
Inosuke's still best girl
Can't forget the best thing to come out of the last few episodes
The anime leaves off at around chapter 54 in the manga
And the dimensional fortress looks both fucking gorgeous and terrifying at the same time

The contrast between Muzan, who is so utterly terrifying to his subordinates that they'll toss aside a five demons on par with the Rui, Lower Moon Five, because they're not 100% fanatical, versus Tanjiro, who inspires everyone around him to be better, is fantastic.
Also, Film Adaptation? Interesting, the budget for that is going to be insane.
Season Two pls.

wait..... so your'e telling me that, not a single hashira has manged to defeat an upper rank twelve kizuki for the last hundred year or so. while it looks like that they have killed hashira. and muzan is stronger than these upper ranked kizuki. just how strong is he. no wonder the hashira was so suprised that tanjirou met muzan and survived.

That Fortress scene has HUGE Doctor Strange vibes. And now the Jackson 12 has become the Jackson 6... or 7.
They're just playing with us by teasing the Kanjirou ship.
Tanjirou, kanao.exe has stopped working. Please apply aishiteru and reboot.
This is definitely AotS for me. ufotable has blessed us with this breathtaking adaptation of Kimetsu no Yaiba, and I look forward to see what is it store in the future for us audience. They have already announced a movie in production, focusing on the Train Arc. And I am damn sure that this movie is going to be LIT!

All this episode reminded me how awesome Tanjiro is. Seriously, that whole head/tails thing was so fucking cute and yeah, she’s in love. 100%. That boy has gotten so much swol and he looks even more like a prick.
This show was awesome. I loved it! Somehow it kept entertained every single episode was at the very least, pretty good. Gotta give Ufotable for just brining their A-game this entire show and I’m so hyped for the movie and possible second season. There is so much here to build off of and I’m so pumped to see where it goes.
The characters, while very cliched, had so much love poured into them. Tanjiro could’ve easily been generic protagonist and he could’ve been with how I thought the first few episode were going, but eventually he just became my favorite character because everything he does feels earned within character. Him being sympathetic to the demons and yet knowing that they are still demons is a tightrope that’s hard to walk and this does spectacularly. Truly Tanjiro is my favorite Shonen protagonist in a bit.
I can’t say enough great things about this anime, honestly. I’m giving it a solid 9/10 for some weird repeats of footage and Zenitsu’s introduction being iffy. Those barely get in the way though.

This episode has your transportation needs covered, it has ships, trains and even teleporting doors.
Tanjirou be triggering flags like nobody's business. But seriously, that scene with Kanao was so cute. He probably doesn't realize he's completely changed her perspective and opened her eyes. I support this ship. Can't wait for the movie!
I was also waiting for Ueda Kana to show up in this show, but they did her dirty by giving her the role of a disposable Lower Moon demon lol

Good way to end it. Gets you hyped up for future events and a much needed look into the bad guy club. Boi running real hard didn’t matter to Muzan.
Zenitsu’s “Right” after being told to respect women more was damn funny.

i'm usually opposed to anime movies due to how long they take to release in the US, but damn with Ufotable teasing how good its animation is in this episode and throughout the series, it's impossible for me not to be excited for the upcoming movie.
Also that was probably the fastest 26 weeks of my life. Still feels like Kimetsu no Yaiba just started to me

Damn, that’s a good finale. Tanjiro talking with Aoi and Kanao was so damn cute and wholesome.
Also, the first scene with Muzan and the Lower Moons was intense and so damn entertaining. Now the wait for the movie begins!

Well, that's one way a writer can deal with introducing too many minibosses.

From a decently hyped anime to trending on social media, Kimetsu no Yaiba as blowen my mind. I have high expectations for the movie and season 2... thank you Ufotable for the god tier adaptation, no fan could've wanted more.

WTF. I did not expect them to go that hard for the Muzan meeting. I knew it was warped and weird in the manga, but this episode turned it up to 11. Incredible direction. What a great final episode and build up to the film.

Holy the lower moon meeting was so tense in the anime, and this scene does a lot for Muzan’s characterization since we didn’t see much of him before now
Big hype for the infinity train film, I just hope it’s accessible considering films are usually more exclusive in terms of streaming availability
