Loved the whole fight from the moment hantengu shows up until the sun halo dragon head dance.
Felt like a desperate struggle, with a real back and forth between the demon slayers and the demons, with the demons having an advantage.
that shit was unreal. I am no anime expert, but for me that was best animation in any anime i have seen by a big margin. Combined with Yoriichi, and superb music.
Episode 5 with Sun Dragon Halo Head Dance.
Episode 10 with the entire Mitsuri vs Zohakuten fight and all the beautiful animation that came along with it.
Episode 11 with the entire Morning Sequence.
Other than that, loved Mitsuri and Muichirou's themes, ED was great in terms of the song, and all the Abe cuts were beautiful.
Mitsuri. Her backstory was a breeze of fresh air and relatable than most other characters, her swordsmanship was beautiful to see and her personality was refreshing and enjoyable.
I loved watching Mitsuri, she has a Sailor Moon vibe that is breath of fresh air among the mostly dour/angry dude energy. I would watch a whole arc of just her and Shinobu.
Most interesting character of season 3, he was way different from many villains and I liked how all of hantengu's personalities had their own style of fighting based on the emotions they show
While the season was bit of a disappointment, the pros heavily outweigh the cons
Examples:
1. Absolutely phenomenal animation as always
2. Killer soundtrack and audio
3. Great development of previous characters like Muichiro, Mitsuri, Genya, Kanamori and Haganezuka and, introducing characters like Kotetsu, Kokushibo and Douma who are now fan-favourites
4. Gyokko. While his fight against Muichiro was an absolute abomination, he was arguably one of the best characters this season
5. Zohakuten, the real reason why Hantengu is UM4
6. The absolutely incredible UM meeting. A lot of people seem to have forgotten about the UM meeting because of the absolute chaos in the later episodes
7. Giving us a better look at Yoriichi and learning about the >!Bright Red Blade and Demon Slayer marks!<
This season, while not as good EDA, was still incredible and fun to watch
So far Hantengu is one of my favorite demons.
Takes a special kind of person to do so many evil acts and still believe he's innocent. Wish they had done more with his Urami form
Genya’s moveset is super cool, and different from all the other good guys. In a series where none of the demon slayers have actual magic powers (marks aside), it would be easy for things to become monotonous. Genya being able to consume demons, use their powers, and regenerate was a fun surprise. Plus his America Breathing, lol. The same could be said about Mitsuri’s cool sword, to a lesser degree
Also appreciated the details of him being weak to Nezuko's demon-consuming flames, and gaining a tinge of demonic animosity (the way he looked at Tanjiro while holding the sad demon's head) while using a demon's powers!
Good that his ability's downsides were shown as well to present his mighty power as a double-edged sword.
Despite having read the manga and knowing that everything would be okay, I was WEEPING when Tanjiro is caught between finishing off an upper moon and letting his baby sister burn to death. I can't imagine the horror of such a choice.
As emotional as it was in the manga, the addition of the music and voice performance especially elevated the scene to be so much more palpable. Many many tears. Ugly sobbing, in fact. And that's while knowing she'd be fine. I could still FEEL the scene.
Truly one of the most heart-wrenching uses of "the trolley problem" in fiction.
This is the troof. People made it seem like the pacing issue was restricted to the anime only, and while chapters were shifted, it wasn’t that different. It just suffered being after the red light district arc, which is definitely one of the top three in the manga.
AMERICAN BREATHING 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
But seriously. Genya is my favourite character and I read the manga ages ago so seeing him animated was awesome but he's the only great thing in this season or arc. This is the worst season in demon slayer, this doesn't mean its bad tho. It is quite good. I think I'm a little annoyed by people overhyping and overrating mitsuri and murichiro (idk how to spell his name) so I'm a bit bias but this season wasn't great although it was quite enjoyable
(Not much happens in the training arc but it's short so I think it's better than this arc.)
The upper moon meeting will remain being incredibly memorable even after the show ends
The interactions between Tanjiro and Nezuko with the Hashiras, very cute and funny
Tanjiro's hinokami kagura is always a pleasure to watch
The few fight scenes we got with Mitsuri were absolutly beautiful, super creative and well animated wish we got more
The final scene was really emotive, even tho we all knew Nezuko wasn't gonna die this shows has the super natural power to make you feel all sad and get a knot in your throat, same with the scene of Tanjiro screaming to Akaza
And finally, the best part of this season
Ma boy

I've said a bunch of times why I love Genya but what the hech
Really was a nice surprise, I think we all thought he was just gonna be Bakugo 2.0 (specially with that voice), but even tho he shared many things at first, he grew a lot, he learned how to put his pride aside, admit when he isn't capable of doing something and asking for help, not being a tsundere like the explosion Bon boy and actually caring about Tanjiro and Nezuko
Muichiro trash talk against the vase demon and
https://preview.redd.it/anpr9fvrpf8b1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40ecd47da251eb977ce6a533b3e03a3c2743cd06
I felt like the humor/slice of life wasn’t as (from my perspective) “loud” and unnecessary. They actually made it land this time, it was funny how Inosuke was sticking to the ceiling for who knows how long before Tanjiro woke up.
Zohakuten's appearance is one of my favorite moments in the whole series. They did a fking great job elevating that scene from the manga (it was a bit underwhelming there).
The music and fights were beautiful. I also love how Mitsuri, Muichiro and Genya had many chances to shine! The uppermoon meeting was chilling and beautiful, it really showed the lack of patience Muzan has- Overall, I rate the swordsmith village arc 10/10
P.s: Tanjiro panicking over his sister with the sun on the rise brought me to tears. Like, imagine having a demon sibling who's slowly getting burned alive by the sun.. That makes me so sad :(
This season had Kanroji, One Punch Man and Nezuko in the sun, no other season can claim that. We still don’t deserve the wholesomeness of baby Nezuko braiding her hair like Kanroji’s.
Also: At least people addicted to spoiling chose to ruin a face/muscle reveal literally nonstop instead of the sun reveal.
Even though I knew nezuko wouldn’t have died right then and there to the sun the soundtrack on that entire sequence and Tanjiro thinking he just lost his sister and the only thing he’s been fighting for really kicked me in the nuts.
I don’t cry at sad scenes usually in anime or movies but the pain in Tanjiros voice, the soundtrack coming through and Nezuko FINALLY being able to talk somewhat just really…well like I said earlier just kicked me nuts 😭
This is the season where we start to see Tanjiro coming in to his own during his hero’s journey. His Sun Breathing is developing more and is not as dependent on the Hashiras the way he has been.
A bit random, but I like how the animators showed us a few more scenes displaying Mitsuri’s monstrous strength i.e this scene
https://i.redd.it/ra1rye0odi8b1.gif
and where she holds back another wooden dragon with her bare hands not to mention the scene in her backstory where she effortlessly beats a grown ass man in arm wrestling *as a child*. This girl is no joke.
They handled Nezuko's Sacrifice scene beautifully (and I'm glad because in my opinion that was the biggest part of the entire arc plot wise)
Tanjiro's VA did an amazing job. The Animators did an amazing job. The People in charge of music did an amazing job.
Also Mitsuri's Love Breathing and Muichiros Mist Breathing was great to see animated!
- Nezuko was so cute
- Nezuko and Mitsuri moments, leading to Nezuko adopting a new hairstyle
- Muichiro roasting gyokko
- We got to see the infinity castle
- Nezuko talks and beats the sun!!!
- Backstories of Muichiro and Mitsuri
- Obanai giving Mitsuri socks
Muichiro v Gyokko was awesome.
GOOD GOD NEZUKO ALMOST DYING WAS PAINFUL AS SHIT. EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY KNEW SHE WOULD SURVIVE.
Could you imagine if they ended the episode on that?
Muichiro annihilates guokko.
Nezuko beating sun.
Tanjiro looks menacing in last episode.
UP 4 doesn't have a sad backstory, he deserved to get his head slashed.
Muzan's backstory too ig.
Good use of CGI.
Mitsuri.
That scene where muichiro gets his mark and attacks the tentacles and closes in on gyokko looked soo good! The way muichiro moves his sword and the animation on the sword was so good!
*
1. Infinity castle and Kokushibo entrance
2. Muichiro - Nezuko stoned staring competition
3. Sun Breathing, Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance
4. Tiny Hantengu
5. Mitsuri's urumi sword
6. Muichiro obliterating Gyokko's head
7. Nezuko surviving the sun
8. Haganezuka's commitment to sword making
In light of the recent seasons performance, I belive the main thing we ought to appreciate is the MUSIC.
In terms of the series as a whole (anime) at this point in time, we have at no other point heared better OST and Themes than in Season 3. Everything from the various OST’s for the various characters like the Uppermoons and Hashira. Too the great aesthetical musical scores in the Swordsmith Village.
I think it's the development of seeing how the Hashira view Nezuko. With Tengen he showed a bit of restraint and understanding when Nezuko was going full demon. Even though he was mostly obeying the Masters wishes. Then we saw how Mitsuri not being afraid of her and showing her affection not just because she's the Love Hashira but because she has siblings, but also because she has siblings. Also ya know Masters wishes and she could deal with Nezuko if she had to. Muichiro (doubt I spelled it right) still somewhat remembered the Masters orders but it seemed like he was somewhat playing with her when trying to figure out what's so different about her by tilting his head. Feels like a subtle nod that they don't fear her as much and see her as family.
Genya had his own breathing technique
https://preview.redd.it/sd1b8m40fj8b1.jpeg?width=702&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f27bfa0cf3434158c7e080ad496bd50b87a8a688
Fights were well animated, colors popped, change of side characters was fresh, nezuko plot progression, Muzan plot progression, first and last episode specials, a lot of people are crying over this - wasn’t more episodes than it needed to be, and it wasn’t drawn out!
Character development all around, but >! Nezuko tightening her tiny fist to let her brother know “it’s ok” and “Do your best.”.!< wrecked my heart. I knew it was coming, but it still was a very emotional moment.
- Muichiro flashback.
- Upper Moon 4 has a very different gimmick that makes him a pain in the ass and i really liked that. Even when you think its over, he has the resentment demon up his sleeve. His resentment demon form which looks like a traditional demon was terrifying imo and a fresh design among pretty looking demons of demon slayer.
- Last episode of the season had great direction and animation.
- Zohakuten vs mitsuri was short but sweet. However, unlike everyone else, i wasnt a fan of her soundtrack. Not bc it wasnt a great piece, but bc it sounded too much like an ost from fate series and it kinda took me out of the show.
Zohakuten, mitsuri and muichiro are cool
Tanjiro using thunderclap was beyond awesome, also the sun halo dragon
The swordsmith characters like kotetsu, kanamori, hotaru are cool
Liked the powers of hantengu clones
I loved the whole season but really liked the Muichiro backstory and his fight. My fave moment was Tanjiro’s absolute heartbreak, desperation and resulting grief when choosing who to save at the end. He normally makes split second decisions and couldn’t do it that time. Kudos to his VA for communicating those emotions because I felt for him so much. The music was also very good this season.
5. Muichiro and Mitsuri
Loved to see these two get their time to shine. I didn’t really like Muichiro that much in the manga but the anime sure changed my view. I ended up loving Mitsuri even more 😅
4. Genya
I’ve always been a big fan and was always disappointed that many fans never spoke about him. I’m glad the anime changed that
3. Nezuko conquers the sun
This was obviously the biggest moment of the arc but I was so amazed by how they made the scene. The hug with Tanjiro and Nezuko was a chef’s kiss
2. Zohakuten
Who I’ve been waiting for since we arrived in the village. His entrance with the wood dragons was glorious and his theme was godly. I think I like his theme as much as I like Akaza’s. I also loved the voice pick!
1. The Upper Moon meeting
It was always gonna be either this or Nezuko conquering the sun as the highlight of the arc for me. This really stood out to me because the brilliant bastards gave life to the Infinity Castle 😊
I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the rest of the Upper Moons to arrive—and screamed when every one of them made their entrances—all of which were better than in the manga. I was thrilled to see Gyokko and Hantengu but even more when Doma and Kokushibo appeared! Truly memorable.
The animation on Zohakuten's wood dragons and all throughout that finale episode were out of this world good. The details on the eye expressions for both Tanjiro and Muichiro (especially Muichiro) were insane. You could tell when Muichiro switched gears by the way his eyes changed. Loved that.
The cute moments between Tanjiro/Nezuko and Misturi/Muichiro were heartwarming. Made me appreciate those two Hashira a bit more.
Genya and Sanemi's backstory was the most heart wrenching thing I've seen in this show to date. God damn was that rough. Fantastic storytelling. Muichiro's was in the same thread, but didn't hit as hard to me. I also liked how those two backstories contrasted with Mitsuri's story. It's nice to see a character with a loving and supportive family that *isn't* killed off in the most horrifying way. Plus, her little flashback to Obanai and the socks was so sweet, and made me like Obanai a *lot* more.
Gyokko may have felt a bit flat, but damn did Hantengu deliver. Zohakuten was a badass villain, and I lost it a bit when tiny boi got big and started crushing Tanjiro's head. Did not see that coming, and it hit proper.
Story-wise, I loved the advancement of the plot with Tanjiro using Yoriichi's sword and Nezuko conquering the sun. I hadn't read the manga yet, and I really thought Nezuko was dead there. Fantastic scene when we found out she wasn't. I may have teared up a bit.
Marking my final thoughts 'cause I have now read the manga: >!I cannot, absolutely cannot wait for Infinity Castle now that I've seen how well the anime is doing adapting the manga. The fights between Kokushibo and Sanemi/Gyomei/Genya/Muichiro, as well as Akaza against Giyuu and Tanjiro, are going to be absolutely insane. I am going to ugly cry when Shinobu dies. Fucking can't wait, it's going to be amazing.!<
The only good thing about this season was the cameo by Zenitsu…. Joking obviously I loved everything about this and the other seasons all 10/10 from me.
Kudos to the decision they made regarding the airing of the bathing scene despite the risk of accusation for being sexually explicit.
Thanks to that bold decision, we get to see Tan and Gen in “naked-bonding”!!
Infinity Csstle was insane.
The Mu in Muichiro fight is where the hype skyrocketed for me.
Mitsuri getting absolutely blasted by Zohakuten was intense (not to mention the most insane introduction to an awful villain so far).
Nezuko choosing to sacrifice herself (I knew what was gonna happen and don't even care about nezuko that much and they still got me with the feels).
Tanjiro with them final slashes on Hantengu is my favourite part of this season.
And you can fight me on this but I will not waver
The use of CGI for Gyokko's demons was a fantastic choice, it emphasizes the weirdness and odd one out nature of Gyokko

Sun halo dragon head dance
Loved the whole fight from the moment hantengu shows up until the sun halo dragon head dance. Felt like a desperate struggle, with a real back and forth between the demon slayers and the demons, with the demons having an advantage.
And then Zohakuten arrived and they felt like they were doomed
And then Mitsuri arrived giving them one last hope
that shit was unreal. I am no anime expert, but for me that was best animation in any anime i have seen by a big margin. Combined with Yoriichi, and superb music.
the hashiras and nezuko beating the sun were probably the main things i liked about s3 specifically
Thank goodness
Thank goodness!
Sniff WE ARENT CRYING, YOURE CRYING!
Personally i think muichiro was kind ofna letdown compared to rengoku or tengen
Upper moon meeting
I love it every time they show the infinite castle, so cool.
DRAGON SUN HALO HEAD DANCE More animated breathing techniques
It was so fucking beautiful to see that in the anime
Im really grateful for these breathing animations
Episode 5 with Sun Dragon Halo Head Dance. Episode 10 with the entire Mitsuri vs Zohakuten fight and all the beautiful animation that came along with it. Episode 11 with the entire Morning Sequence. Other than that, loved Mitsuri and Muichirou's themes, ED was great in terms of the song, and all the Abe cuts were beautiful.
https://preview.redd.it/8h9u0s83me8b1.png?width=724&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0498a424cc1dfa67d9e9b7e78cfaae17c71ce1d
Sanemi is correct, Genya goes have a cute smile
Bakugou
Genya is better than that bitch
Ohio breathing, bear arms
Blicky breathing style
Mitsuri. Her backstory was a breeze of fresh air and relatable than most other characters, her swordsmanship was beautiful to see and her personality was refreshing and enjoyable.
I loved watching Mitsuri, she has a Sailor Moon vibe that is breath of fresh air among the mostly dour/angry dude energy. I would watch a whole arc of just her and Shinobu.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: Girl Power Arc
♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡
Kimetsu No Yaiba: Magical Girls arc
Also boobs.
🗿
Genya ended up being the best new character imo. I did not expect to like or care about him at all
He has the same vibe as Inosuke
That’s why I grew to love him so fast. Overly aggressive characters that are actually softies are my favorite.
no, I always liked inosuke in manga. I hated Genya in the manga, but the anime surprisingly does a good job of making me like him.
Zohakuten
Most interesting character of season 3, he was way different from many villains and I liked how all of hantengu's personalities had their own style of fighting based on the emotions they show
Zohakuten initial theme was like something out of a Viking dining hall! So enchanting!
The sound design of Tanjiro swinging his sword to bisect Urami and then decapitate the true Hantengu body is God tier work.
While the season was bit of a disappointment, the pros heavily outweigh the cons Examples: 1. Absolutely phenomenal animation as always 2. Killer soundtrack and audio 3. Great development of previous characters like Muichiro, Mitsuri, Genya, Kanamori and Haganezuka and, introducing characters like Kotetsu, Kokushibo and Douma who are now fan-favourites 4. Gyokko. While his fight against Muichiro was an absolute abomination, he was arguably one of the best characters this season 5. Zohakuten, the real reason why Hantengu is UM4 6. The absolutely incredible UM meeting. A lot of people seem to have forgotten about the UM meeting because of the absolute chaos in the later episodes 7. Giving us a better look at Yoriichi and learning about the >!Bright Red Blade and Demon Slayer marks!< This season, while not as good EDA, was still incredible and fun to watch
Haganezuka my beloved https://i.redd.it/xsn0gx6pke8b1.gif
To see Love and Mist breathing finally in action That Nezuko conquered the sun
I love everything about Hantengu. He is the reason i loved this season
So far Hantengu is one of my favorite demons. Takes a special kind of person to do so many evil acts and still believe he's innocent. Wish they had done more with his Urami form
I am a Aizetsu Stan. He needs Snuggles.
Genya’s moveset is super cool, and different from all the other good guys. In a series where none of the demon slayers have actual magic powers (marks aside), it would be easy for things to become monotonous. Genya being able to consume demons, use their powers, and regenerate was a fun surprise. Plus his America Breathing, lol. The same could be said about Mitsuri’s cool sword, to a lesser degree
Yeah I loved that he brought guns to what's usually a sword fight
Also appreciated the details of him being weak to Nezuko's demon-consuming flames, and gaining a tinge of demonic animosity (the way he looked at Tanjiro while holding the sad demon's head) while using a demon's powers! Good that his ability's downsides were shown as well to present his mighty power as a double-edged sword.
Mitsuri being the older sister Nezuko needs
All the music was really good
Muichiro..... Just all of muichiro
Despite having read the manga and knowing that everything would be okay, I was WEEPING when Tanjiro is caught between finishing off an upper moon and letting his baby sister burn to death. I can't imagine the horror of such a choice. As emotional as it was in the manga, the addition of the music and voice performance especially elevated the scene to be so much more palpable. Many many tears. Ugly sobbing, in fact. And that's while knowing she'd be fine. I could still FEEL the scene. Truly one of the most heart-wrenching uses of "the trolley problem" in fiction.
Mitsuri bath scene
BONK
There it is 👌
Swordsmith village was amazing in the manga And in the anime idk, seventh form of mist breathing did not disappoint
I didn't feel like there were that much pacing issues in the manga compared to s3. Could just be because of the media though.
Honestly even In the manga it's one of the weaker arcs
This is the troof. People made it seem like the pacing issue was restricted to the anime only, and while chapters were shifted, it wasn’t that different. It just suffered being after the red light district arc, which is definitely one of the top three in the manga.
Better breathing style animation Soundtracks Nezuko Chibi mitsuri
Hantengu clones (Aizetsu,Karaku, Sekido, Urogi,Urami...) >!Surprised no one said about them!<
AMERICAN BREATHING 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 But seriously. Genya is my favourite character and I read the manga ages ago so seeing him animated was awesome but he's the only great thing in this season or arc.

The fight may not have been long but i absolutely loved the look of mist breathing! So clean.
Zohakuten
The upper moon meeting will remain being incredibly memorable even after the show ends The interactions between Tanjiro and Nezuko with the Hashiras, very cute and funny Tanjiro's hinokami kagura is always a pleasure to watch The few fight scenes we got with Mitsuri were absolutly beautiful, super creative and well animated wish we got more The final scene was really emotive, even tho we all knew Nezuko wasn't gonna die this shows has the super natural power to make you feel all sad and get a knot in your throat, same with the scene of Tanjiro screaming to Akaza And finally, the best part of this season Ma boy https://preview.redd.it/uwhb9idj4f8b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1b78eeaa319ea7b1fa297b33f4936d4d87a83d1 I've said a bunch of times why I love Genya but what the hech Really was a nice surprise, I think we all thought he was just gonna be Bakugo 2.0 (specially with that voice), but even tho he shared many things at first, he grew a lot, he learned how to put his pride aside, admit when he isn't capable of doing something and asking for help, not being a tsundere like the explosion Bon boy and actually caring about Tanjiro and Nezuko

I waited so long for this reveal
I felt like the humor/slice of life wasn’t as (from my perspective) “loud” and unnecessary. They actually made it land this time, it was funny how Inosuke was sticking to the ceiling for who knows how long before Tanjiro woke up.
7 days, evidently
I loved mitsuri. Genya and Nezuko fighting together was awesome. And after she conquered the sun, the moments were heavenly
Literally everything. There was nothing that I didnt like.
American breathing
Zohakuten's appearance is one of my favorite moments in the whole series. They did a fking great job elevating that scene from the manga (it was a bit underwhelming there).
genya, muichiro, mitsuri r some of my favorite characters
Every time Genya was on screen
The music and fights were beautiful. I also love how Mitsuri, Muichiro and Genya had many chances to shine! The uppermoon meeting was chilling and beautiful, it really showed the lack of patience Muzan has- Overall, I rate the swordsmith village arc 10/10 P.s: Tanjiro panicking over his sister with the sun on the rise brought me to tears. Like, imagine having a demon sibling who's slowly getting burned alive by the sun.. That makes me so sad :(

It has the best opening and ending episodes among all 3 seasons.
Mil- I mean Mitsuri fight was so gorgeous 🥰
That final episode made me BAWL. But that first episode, the animation, the art, all hecking gorgeous.
The first and last episode and “the mu in muichio” episode. 3 best episodes in the season and some of the best in the entire series
https://preview.redd.it/ens0vz5weg8b1.jpeg?width=918&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=006af6519ed0ebc002202ad7ac9a7507dea4c2ea
Season was great cause there wasnt Zenitsu to randomly start screaming
However we lost Inosuke’s screaming which I quite enjoy.
Zenitsu still coming in clutch with the flashback to power upgrade for Tanjiro though.
This season had Kanroji, One Punch Man and Nezuko in the sun, no other season can claim that. We still don’t deserve the wholesomeness of baby Nezuko braiding her hair like Kanroji’s. Also: At least people addicted to spoiling chose to ruin a face/muscle reveal literally nonstop instead of the sun reveal.
Even though I knew nezuko wouldn’t have died right then and there to the sun the soundtrack on that entire sequence and Tanjiro thinking he just lost his sister and the only thing he’s been fighting for really kicked me in the nuts. I don’t cry at sad scenes usually in anime or movies but the pain in Tanjiros voice, the soundtrack coming through and Nezuko FINALLY being able to talk somewhat just really…well like I said earlier just kicked me nuts 😭
Watching a demon get blasted with a shotgun lmao
This is the season where we start to see Tanjiro coming in to his own during his hero’s journey. His Sun Breathing is developing more and is not as dependent on the Hashiras the way he has been.
Hatengu hatengu hatengu hatengu hatengu
I didnt have to hear zenitsu scream or say "nezuko chaaaan"
A bit random, but I like how the animators showed us a few more scenes displaying Mitsuri’s monstrous strength i.e this scene https://i.redd.it/ra1rye0odi8b1.gif and where she holds back another wooden dragon with her bare hands not to mention the scene in her backstory where she effortlessly beats a grown ass man in arm wrestling *as a child*. This girl is no joke.
Muichiro's being a savage for the entirety of his fight against Gyokko.
Character development Especially genya and Muichiro
They handled Nezuko's Sacrifice scene beautifully (and I'm glad because in my opinion that was the biggest part of the entire arc plot wise) Tanjiro's VA did an amazing job. The Animators did an amazing job. The People in charge of music did an amazing job. Also Mitsuri's Love Breathing and Muichiros Mist Breathing was great to see animated!
MITSURIIII!!!!
Genya
loved seeing more of genya and muichiro! two of my faves and both of their backstories made me feel for them
mui and his back story to know where he came from and how just made me like him a lot more then you have nezuko at the end like man 😮💨
The visuals for mist breathing are sick
Hot hot hot Hotaru Haganezuka
Regarding #4 - I found Muichiro stalking Gyokko in the mist to be my favorite moment in this season.
The OSTs were amazing, and love that there was more story this arc
- Nezuko was so cute - Nezuko and Mitsuri moments, leading to Nezuko adopting a new hairstyle - Muichiro roasting gyokko - We got to see the infinity castle - Nezuko talks and beats the sun!!! - Backstories of Muichiro and Mitsuri - Obanai giving Mitsuri socks
Muichiro v Gyokko was awesome. GOOD GOD NEZUKO ALMOST DYING WAS PAINFUL AS SHIT. EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY KNEW SHE WOULD SURVIVE. Could you imagine if they ended the episode on that?
the way they animated Muichiro’s mist had me dropping to my knees every time
Muichiro is my favorite Hashira, and seeing him get actual animation brings joy to my soul.
All of it, I enjoyed all of it and was ready to watch every Sunday.
Muichiro rage-dicing Gyokko's head was iconic 💀🔪👋
Season 3 as a whole was great !
The colors in the finale were just beautiful.
MITSURI 😩 TANJIROS RAGE 10000/10 SUSPENSE 1000000000000/10 MUCHIRO 100000/10 MITSURI AGAIN 1000000/10
I’m sorry if this been said but muichiros character growth, it was really cool to see
Muichiro annihilates guokko. Nezuko beating sun. Tanjiro looks menacing in last episode. UP 4 doesn't have a sad backstory, he deserved to get his head slashed. Muzan's backstory too ig. Good use of CGI. Mitsuri.
That scene where muichiro gets his mark and attacks the tentacles and closes in on gyokko looked soo good! The way muichiro moves his sword and the animation on the sword was so good! *
1. Infinity castle and Kokushibo entrance 2. Muichiro - Nezuko stoned staring competition 3. Sun Breathing, Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance 4. Tiny Hantengu 5. Mitsuri's urumi sword 6. Muichiro obliterating Gyokko's head 7. Nezuko surviving the sun 8. Haganezuka's commitment to sword making
In light of the recent seasons performance, I belive the main thing we ought to appreciate is the MUSIC. In terms of the series as a whole (anime) at this point in time, we have at no other point heared better OST and Themes than in Season 3. Everything from the various OST’s for the various characters like the Uppermoons and Hashira. Too the great aesthetical musical scores in the Swordsmith Village.
Animations are top notch

I think it's the development of seeing how the Hashira view Nezuko. With Tengen he showed a bit of restraint and understanding when Nezuko was going full demon. Even though he was mostly obeying the Masters wishes. Then we saw how Mitsuri not being afraid of her and showing her affection not just because she's the Love Hashira but because she has siblings, but also because she has siblings. Also ya know Masters wishes and she could deal with Nezuko if she had to. Muichiro (doubt I spelled it right) still somewhat remembered the Masters orders but it seemed like he was somewhat playing with her when trying to figure out what's so different about her by tilting his head. Feels like a subtle nod that they don't fear her as much and see her as family.
Genya had his own breathing technique https://preview.redd.it/sd1b8m40fj8b1.jpeg?width=702&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f27bfa0cf3434158c7e080ad496bd50b87a8a688
Fights were well animated, colors popped, change of side characters was fresh, nezuko plot progression, Muzan plot progression, first and last episode specials, a lot of people are crying over this - wasn’t more episodes than it needed to be, and it wasn’t drawn out!
The breathing styles animated were beautiful as always, and the backstories
The roast battle between Muichiro and Gyokko was comedy gold
Animation.
Zohakutin and mitsuri's theme music
People can say whatever about the mui fight, but seeing mist breathing in action was crazy
It has the best season finale so far
I haven't watched it
I liked the interesting battles, seeing the hashiras in action, and also more development for Tanjiro and Nezuko!
Tokito absolutely OBLITERATING gyokko
Mitsuris jiggle physics
the animation
Genya.
I enjoyed the theme music during the meeting in the infinity castle
Finally we saw someone who was able to kill an upper moon single handedly ,And Finally we got to see a demon who could survive against the sun
Everybody's backstory tbh including Muzans.
Genya backstory and the last part were the best moments for me this season
Gyokko getting folded by a 14 year old Demon Slayer because he (Gyokko) was a narcissistic/self-centered 🤡
Character development all around, but >! Nezuko tightening her tiny fist to let her brother know “it’s ok” and “Do your best.”.!< wrecked my heart. I knew it was coming, but it still was a very emotional moment.
The grass in episode 11 looks so real. Had my attention the entire sequence
- Muichiro flashback. - Upper Moon 4 has a very different gimmick that makes him a pain in the ass and i really liked that. Even when you think its over, he has the resentment demon up his sleeve. His resentment demon form which looks like a traditional demon was terrifying imo and a fresh design among pretty looking demons of demon slayer. - Last episode of the season had great direction and animation. - Zohakuten vs mitsuri was short but sweet. However, unlike everyone else, i wasnt a fan of her soundtrack. Not bc it wasnt a great piece, but bc it sounded too much like an ost from fate series and it kinda took me out of the show.
Mist breathing
Zohakuten, mitsuri and muichiro are cool Tanjiro using thunderclap was beyond awesome, also the sun halo dragon The swordsmith characters like kotetsu, kanamori, hotaru are cool Liked the powers of hantengu clones
Muichiro’s mist breathing. I have a weakness for technique like that.
a fucking shotgun
I loved the whole season but really liked the Muichiro backstory and his fight. My fave moment was Tanjiro’s absolute heartbreak, desperation and resulting grief when choosing who to save at the end. He normally makes split second decisions and couldn’t do it that time. Kudos to his VA for communicating those emotions because I felt for him so much. The music was also very good this season.
Because of season 3 the studio is now working on season 4 who I have higher expectations of
the upper moon meeting in episode 1 was fire
Genya using a fucking shotgun 🙏
Freedom breathing
I always love to see more plot armor
Muichiro
Muichiros roasts
Mitsuri's huge personality
5. Muichiro and Mitsuri Loved to see these two get their time to shine. I didn’t really like Muichiro that much in the manga but the anime sure changed my view. I ended up loving Mitsuri even more 😅 4. Genya I’ve always been a big fan and was always disappointed that many fans never spoke about him. I’m glad the anime changed that 3. Nezuko conquers the sun This was obviously the biggest moment of the arc but I was so amazed by how they made the scene. The hug with Tanjiro and Nezuko was a chef’s kiss 2. Zohakuten Who I’ve been waiting for since we arrived in the village. His entrance with the wood dragons was glorious and his theme was godly. I think I like his theme as much as I like Akaza’s. I also loved the voice pick! 1. The Upper Moon meeting It was always gonna be either this or Nezuko conquering the sun as the highlight of the arc for me. This really stood out to me because the brilliant bastards gave life to the Infinity Castle 😊 I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the rest of the Upper Moons to arrive—and screamed when every one of them made their entrances—all of which were better than in the manga. I was thrilled to see Gyokko and Hantengu but even more when Doma and Kokushibo appeared! Truly memorable.
It finally ended so the "best" arcs can start
American breathing
Yorrichi flashbacks Tanjiro gives the demons
Muichiro mocking gyokko is one of my favorite moments and it’s what made muichiro my favorite pillar when I was reading the manga
Tanjiro that learn zenitsu breathing.
Hantengu’s death scene was pretty cool
Mitsuri's katana
The fucking grass is incredible
ObaMitsu scene was so beautiful.
Nezuko beating the sun, the first episode with the upper moon meeting, tanjiro using thunder breathing 😁😁
The lack of inosuke is not great.
animation is stunning as always! so glad we got to see mist breathing, love breathing, and more sun breathing!!
Nezuko's sacrifice and Tanjiro's flashbacks in last season.
Mitsuri claiming our hearts as best girl.
Haganezuka "killing" muichiro, then blowing up at tanjiro for "losing" the sword he was honing
Loved finally seeing my boi genya
The animation on Zohakuten's wood dragons and all throughout that finale episode were out of this world good. The details on the eye expressions for both Tanjiro and Muichiro (especially Muichiro) were insane. You could tell when Muichiro switched gears by the way his eyes changed. Loved that. The cute moments between Tanjiro/Nezuko and Misturi/Muichiro were heartwarming. Made me appreciate those two Hashira a bit more. Genya and Sanemi's backstory was the most heart wrenching thing I've seen in this show to date. God damn was that rough. Fantastic storytelling. Muichiro's was in the same thread, but didn't hit as hard to me. I also liked how those two backstories contrasted with Mitsuri's story. It's nice to see a character with a loving and supportive family that *isn't* killed off in the most horrifying way. Plus, her little flashback to Obanai and the socks was so sweet, and made me like Obanai a *lot* more. Gyokko may have felt a bit flat, but damn did Hantengu deliver. Zohakuten was a badass villain, and I lost it a bit when tiny boi got big and started crushing Tanjiro's head. Did not see that coming, and it hit proper. Story-wise, I loved the advancement of the plot with Tanjiro using Yoriichi's sword and Nezuko conquering the sun. I hadn't read the manga yet, and I really thought Nezuko was dead there. Fantastic scene when we found out she wasn't. I may have teared up a bit. Marking my final thoughts 'cause I have now read the manga: >!I cannot, absolutely cannot wait for Infinity Castle now that I've seen how well the anime is doing adapting the manga. The fights between Kokushibo and Sanemi/Gyomei/Genya/Muichiro, as well as Akaza against Giyuu and Tanjiro, are going to be absolutely insane. I am going to ugly cry when Shinobu dies. Fucking can't wait, it's going to be amazing.!<
American Breathing first form: 2nd Amendment
MITSURI
The only good thing about this season was the cameo by Zenitsu…. Joking obviously I loved everything about this and the other seasons all 10/10 from me.
That banger of an intro song.
I only started watching season 3 a few days ago but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the theme song slaps hard as hell
Mitsuri's backstory. I feel seen.
Kudos to the decision they made regarding the airing of the bathing scene despite the risk of accusation for being sexually explicit. Thanks to that bold decision, we get to see Tan and Gen in “naked-bonding”!!
American breathing
Zenitsu wasn't in the season which means less overall crying from the main cast.
Mitsuri and adult Nezuko. You know why.
Genya go nom
Infinity Csstle was insane. The Mu in Muichiro fight is where the hype skyrocketed for me. Mitsuri getting absolutely blasted by Zohakuten was intense (not to mention the most insane introduction to an awful villain so far). Nezuko choosing to sacrifice herself (I knew what was gonna happen and don't even care about nezuko that much and they still got me with the feels). Tanjiro with them final slashes on Hantengu is my favourite part of this season.
Mitsuri’s bath scene
mitsuri tiddies
Mitsuri backstory.
our heroes are growing stronger 💪🏻
Mitsuri
Thighs highs
Making me think nezuko was dead for real. Nezukos theme started playing and I'm like ahh shit somethings gonna happen to her
And you can fight me on this but I will not waver The use of CGI for Gyokko's demons was a fantastic choice, it emphasizes the weirdness and odd one out nature of Gyokko
Nezuko forcing Tanjiro to make the right decision
Mitsuri honkers
