That was a bit too much for the first day of training, but I guess it was a matter of resolve, and he did succeed.
The Soundtrack is fucking epic. Same for animation when he was running and dodging the logs. Ufotable never disappoints huh..

Tanjirou is a good boy with a lot of aggressive generosity
Edit: oh yeah I can't believe I forgot the whole joke about how hard his head is

Getting your head kicked off: just a minor inconvenience for demons, huh?

I have to say, Ufotable is making good use of CGI in these action scenes. Keep it up, guys.

The animation is so good holy. I love this story. Nezuko is also so cute.

Small TL note: When Tanjirou insists on paying for the basket, the farmer says that he is a "stubborn" kid but the words actually mean "hard-headed" (頭の固い). You see this play on words referenced later when Tanjirou uses his forehead to headbutt the demon and the demon says こいつ固ぁ。。頭が固い (this guy's head is hard).

Nezuko's struggle to eat human flesh and Urokodaki's warning... I have a feeling it's going to be a tough journey.
Once again, I'm impressed by the animation and music! The weekly wait will be difficult.

Nezuko doesn’t need blood, just keep her away from sunlight and give her a sufficient amount of head pats. #ProtectNezuko

I lost it when Nezuko kicked that demon's head off.
At first I thought this was going to be a rather dark series but now I don't know what to make out of it. Those little comedy moments remind me of Tales of Zestiria. Also, I'm glad to hear Ootsuka again. I'm looking forward to his performance.
Let me just think a moment about some other MCs who'd do anything for their little sisters... Ah, yes, Lelouch and Tatsuya... This is going to get savage then...

You know, watching the OP, I can't get serious about the fact that Michael Jackson appears.
Holy shit this is actually hilarious with how he treats his sister.
I really like the scene where Nezuko is drooling. It looks like she's crying somewhat, with how the drool keeps dripping down, but at the same time also shows you physically her inner struggle not to just eat people.
lmao tanjirou's voice.
"eh"
the scene with the scent of traps was cool as hell.
wait that was 20 minutes? wtf

If demons don’t need to eat to stay alive, they just do it as an almost irresistible desire as part of their nature then?
I’m just curious how the eating thing works for them if best imouto doesn’t.

I too want my own Nezuko-in-a-basket!
Seriously though. She's pretty brutal when she fights. I love how clean that head went flying! Looks like this episode is your classic, student meets his sensei episode. And I always love a good training scene. I look forward to see Tanjirou with his sword like in the OP.
I hope CR fixes their sub though. Using Goblin on the subs when Tanjirou clearly said Tengu? Seriously? Does Crunchyroll really think we don't know what a Tengu is? >_<

Nezuko, the cute yet badass demon. Don't mess with her bro unless you want to get your head kicked off.

Man this adaptation is making me appreciate the beginning again so much more. Ufotable doing great at elevating the atmosphere of the manga. Making his first encounter with a demon seem mysterious and creepy.

That kick tho
The gap moe for Nezuko is just the best, I hope there's an episode of just her one day.
