What I want to know was what happened to his broken leg and ribs? He seemed to heal up completely in the short time it took tamari girl to die, and minutes later he's walking down stairs like it's nothing, and shortly after that, they're on the road. Was "I've got a broken rib and leg" a mistranslation of "It feels like I've got a broken rib and leg"? |
my thoughts exactly, how come he went from having to drag his crawling body through the yard to casually walking downstairs without so much as panting in less than an hour? |
Apparently Tamayo applied some healing powers off-screen, which will be referenced in an upcoming episode. I expected to see her work on his body this episode because he doesn't even use a crutch to walk down those stairs.

Damn, I haven't been annoyed by a character as much as I have Zenitsu in a long time. Some one please tell me he stops whining all the time sooner rather than later.

No shit. I didn't think it was possible, but he's more annoying than Asta, and he made me quit watching the subs and wait for the dub on Toonami. Since that's not an option (yet), I'll have to watch this on mute when he's around. Though that won't help with his snot-like tears and bug eyes...

Glad to see I'm not the only one who hopes that Zenitsu gets toned down quickly

I had no expectations about this series and have been very pleasantly surprised. I’ve enjoyed it immensely. That was until Zenitsu showed up. Loud, irritating and worst of all terribly unfunny. I hope he has a reduced role or changes his antics soon.

While I get the irritation with Zenitsu, i do think he gets better. Granted i've looked ahead a bit at future stuff but i think he improves
As for the episode itself, i do like when the brother is shown thrown out the window. The timing of the music and sound was good and the shot composition helped a lot

That's me right there, his shtick got old really quick. I was constantly making that same disgusted face Tanjiro was but directed to the episode as a whole throughout. why would they make a character so cartoonishly wimpy in a series that had been taking its grittiness so seriously? I am not saying they can't have comedy relief at all, I sincerely enjoyed most of the gags in the early episodes, but their last attempt with the assistant of the medic demon (as you can see I already forgot his name, for a reason) and his below puppy level one track mind also was miserably off-tune. I hope this trend ceases, it really is soiling an otherwise great series which is absolutely enjoyable the rest of the time

I do agree the comedy is a bit offputting, I prefer stuff with Nezuko trying to act human the most. That said, when the show wants to be serious, it can transition very well.
I love this episode for the room transition shot with the rotating pan. That must have been hard to animate and the colors and lights look great

Same. Annoyance may have been the point, and if so they damn well nailed it a little too well I say. This isn't the fault of the anime really, but the addition of voice acting combined with the general slowness of the pace compared to the source material just made his introduction all the more obnoxious than I was prepared for.

I found Zenitsu so annoying I actively fast-forwarded past every scene with him which of course meant I missed plot. I find him so annoying that if he continues as a major character at this level I will likely drop the show and just follow it in these weekly reviews. I've been generally enjoying the episodes, but this was too much for me.

I hope you're right. I hope he improves at least enough to be tolerable. Right now, the only thing I see that he brings to the table is that he seems to have hearing to match Tanjirou's sense of smell, so they could work well together, if he tones it down.
Am I the only one wondering about the kids? They seem a bit off to me. It's mostly because of their eyes, but I can't tell yet if that's just a weird character design choice or if it's significant.

Wow people here really hate Zenitsu. Would you guys believe me if i tell you he the 2nd most popular character of the manga, after Tanjirou and most of his fan is female? One thing a manga reader like me want to talk about this episode is that due to the medium transistion, some of the gag seem to be missing. See, in the manga there a narrator that do exposition and some time tell us some very funny quirk about the character. Despite planning to suprise attack the demon, Tanjirou instinctively walk out and said his name to the demon like we see in this episode , the narrator tell us that Tanjirou can't ambush people, he just too honest to do that kind of thing.

Zenitsu quite literally gave me a headache and Boar Head Guy seemed like he could be quite a pain as well, so i am feeling a little bit wary now...Tanjirou's expressions were priceless, though.

Yeah, I'm gonna concur that Zenitsu single-handedly made this the worst episode so far for me. Hopefully he either shapes up quickly or has a significantly reduced presence in the future.
At least the show seems slightly self-aware about it; Tanjiro feels the same way about him that I do.

Manga readers didn't have to listen to him screaming.
