Alternative universe where Nezuko became evil. Because it was her who loved Tanjiro, and not vice versa. Of course, it's not the only difference, but it's difficult not to compare brother-sister relationship to Demon Slayer, since in both cases it's kind of a trigger for the story.

Jokes aside, though, this definitely has a much more "grounded" feeling, there is some extra "weight", and less "positivity". I also really enjoyed the story-telling itself, since it was much more visual, that you may even realize, with bits of information shared without anyone talking. The timeskip was a bit "meh", because unlike first small ones there was no text about the year (or did I miss it?) and thus it felt really sudden to me. The fights also had good weight to them, although I can't say they were particularly exciting, and that's where Demon Slayer definitely wins. Side-characters are a bit more believable here, though.

My biggest concern is that now the story seems to switch to a [more] modern era, and things can get bad pretty quickly from there, depending on how that would be spun, and how Jinta has changed through-out the years. We'll now next week, I guess.

Episode 2:

They ruined my perception of the show quite easily this episode by breaking their own rules, and even after just establishing them.

 

Like, they say that white mist is when the demon dies, but then there is white mist, but demon did not die, and resurrected, and then died again, again with white mist. The "you need to ask me to kill the demon" did not make sense either, because emotions do not go away that quickly and I would assume they need to be very strong to born a demon. Let alone that the child just psychoanalyzed herself in a minute. The connection of the guy to the demon was also random: how would he know it's his mother? And is it really his mother, if he was human, unlike his sister? Or was this all just to allude to the fact, that grandpa he was helping was his father he ran away from in the beginning of previous episode?

Also, wasn't the ending of 1st episode suggesting transfer to modern time? Why are we still in the past? Anyway, I will give it another chance, but it will not be easy to win me back next episode.

Episode 3:

"Demons don't lie" is such a bullshit concept here. Especially when the demon MC lies by saying that seeing someone die turned him into one, when in reality he became one earlier and by a demon forcing his arm onto him. I am not sure he is honest about "amassing power" as well, because it's not clear what would make him stronger by killing those demons, too, or did I miss something? And it's obvious that the new demon is the culprit, unless it's the owner of that soba-joint or his daughter. But my money are on the demon. Not that I will learn for sure, because it's just not as good as 1st episode, so I am slashing this one out of my "Watching" list.
