Demon Slayer | 1x1 Cruelty - REACTION!

We are finally starting another anime! Demon Slayer won the most recent poll, and we can't wait to really get into it! This was definitely a tough start to the series, pulling us in with something quite emotional and traumatic, just like Attack on Titan did.
Remember this is not a substitute for watching the actual show. If you haven't seen it, please do so (available on Netflix) and then come back to the video afterwards.

[@sol1629]

Just a tip for Demon Slayer - Don’t judge a character to quickly. Give them time to develop and try to understand their story. Other than that, a great series, one that definitely you will enjoy.

[@Hiveatel]

Yeah because demon slayer characters are almost always NEVER what they appear to be at first.

[@randomperson3119]

That's like, every character in a story

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

Nah, I had to give up cos of that coward guy who is always screaming and crying. It was just too much to put up with and super annoying.

[@sol1629]

@@BeardyBaldyBob Lol Zenitsu is a badass.. Like i said give it time lol.

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

@@sol1629 Nope. I've seen when he goes into his trances and kicks ass etc. But the character is just WAY too annoying to put up with. I had to stop before I put my foot through my TV.

[@abeautifullie7579]

Regardless of what people might say about the story, the quality of animation in this production is on another level🔥 hope you enjoy it

[@bryant1888]

I agree the story/plot is nothing special but man the lessons, characters and fight animations are top-tier. That's why it's a very good show imo.

[@TheCouto11]

bro the story is good and unique idk why everyone says its mid, its so different

[@girlsweareforever9186]

@@bryant1888 Demon Slayer has a good story, its characters have deep backgrounds and they are not just to fill in, people who say otherwise or didn't understand the story or are envy.

[@dept308]

@@TheCouto11 it's okay nothing special it isn't unique either its tropes are widely used. Production levels are insane, so it doesn't really matter it's still so much more enjoyable than most shows.

[@TheCouto11]

@@dept308 bro said tropes are widely how is that a bad thing im saying in general its unique, you dont have a single anime wich has demons with rank and humans aswell fighting between ich other with those type of sad storys and characters its unique, even if it has some clichés simple is best yall need to stop realizing how good this show really is tho

[@iCyberDev]

Definitely watch the subs! The voice actors in Japanese sub is INSANELY GOOD and they won awards.

[@Eren-da-Jaeger]

Second that.

[@brandonjuno]

and the dub is genuinely atrocious

[@colprom]

@@brandonjuno Eh I disagree, I like the Dub despite some hiccups. Zenitsu and Muzan being big highlights for me in the Dub. They can watch it however they like.

[@NatashaSalgado]

I started this show last year about this time too and now I'm up to date for season 3 current on streaming. I'm pretty sure you both will love Tanjiro and Nezuko, they are amazing.

[@iCyberDev]

19:30 I love that you already are asking questions about the mechanics of how demons happen or are created which made you question how nezuko turned into a demon or the intent of the demon that was there (if intentionally attacked this family or if they got infected while defending themselves etc)

[@cbtowers4841]

“We always watch in subs” made me immediately subscribe. 😅 A lot of the character nuances and quirks, as well as humor gets lost in translation, so I really prefer subs as well. It takes getting used to for some, but ultimately, it’s a better experience I think.

[@Fotoschiki]

I love how Giyu talks tough and looks cold as ice, but is more than willing to let Tanjiro and Nezuko prove him wrong. His stone face and ice cold demeanor seem to be just a mask he puts on for work, killing demons who devoured their families, but inside he never stopped hoping that one day a demon would show up that deserved his mercy. I wonder how many siblings and parents begged him to let their loved one that was turned into a demon live, but he always had to take their lives in the end. His inner monologue even sounded to me, like he already had shown mercy and it backfired. There is so much layered in just this first episode.

[@drakke125Channel]

how cruel is it that one tries to give people a chance only for it to backfire. At some point one may feel like giving up on hope.

[@ashleyandanime4815]

Omg ❤ i cant believe you guys react to it :)) im so happy

[@jasonpacha91]

(Warning, this might be a slight spoiler) The reason Tomioka was so harsh on Tanjiro, is because he also had a bad past with demons. Most demon slayers do, so Tomioka seeing Tanjiro like that triggered him. A big thing about this series is that don't judge a character too quickly, wait till you see their reasoning and their past. Great vid btw!

[@quegs]

Tanjiro kind of alludes to this before he goes to sleep in Saburo’s house, but demons are very much in kind of an “urban legend” status to his generation until the events of this episode, but older generations have more fear for them. This takes place during the Taisho era which somewhere between 1912-1926 CE, so while Tanjiro’s rural nature comes into play, overall Japan is entering a more modern era.

[@TheBreathless24]

[@lexablack2316]

Glad you're both reacting to this one, it's a great show. One of the most wholesome male protagonists in anime I've seen. And since I see people in comments already talking about watch order with the movie (Mugen Train) vs the early half of season 2, I'll say it's not a vastly different experience. But when you get there I'd go with the movie, then S02E01 (think prequel episode to the movie released later), then skip to episode S02E08, as S02E02-07 is nearly the same as the film. About the only difference, other than being cut into episode length chunks, is I think it had an opening and ending song made for it. Can't remember if it also included the bonus short "Taisho Secret" sections and title of next episode as in other seasons. On the sub vs dub thing. Thankful this is going to be the original language. Sometimes dub casts are quite good, I'll always praise the cast of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for example, where I genuinely like both. This show, however, is a case where the original cast is the clear choice. Particularly with characters that show up later that require a certain level of skill to go to some interesting places vocally, at least one of which might sound familiar.

[@GewalfofWivia]

It's a pretty remarkable series in that it takes a almost purely formulaic shounen and executes it at the highest level the anime industry has ever seen. I would suggest caution when it comes to expectations and hyping up certain arcs or scenes: a great show can still be overhyped, and hyping certain scenes effectively spoil them, both damage the viewing experience.

[@supersomeone9032]

That’s what I love about demon slayer, a masterpiece at execution, whereas other anime may have more ambitious and unique ideas, but poorly execute them

This is an elite anime … whoever says otherwise really has shitty taste cuz the animation alone is beyond most…. And the story is truly fascinating.

[@Mukatutu]

There are people who chuck it to the side just because its apparently " generic and carried by it's animation". I prefer not to see it that way. I think the animation BY itself puts it in a league of it's own, it really is a sight to behold sometimes, but the music, voice acting and everything makes it top tier as well.

[@Minus1724]

I hope you guys watch Vinland Saga one day. Great anime, great manga. Lots of topics to discuss. I have been watching your reactions for several years and I think that seinen anime will be more interesting for you than battle shounens. And since you guys are Danes, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts and opinions on this anime. So, maybe one day.

Very late in response but the old guy isn’t that suspicious i promise lmao he just looks like that loool.
