I'd say Gotouge for Kimetsu no Yaiba is most secretive out of all the Jump authors and for good reason. Couldn't even imagine with their success if people knew who they were.
It would be quite frightening.

Seems inevitable given their success, but we'll see how long they can maintain it.

Hmmmm yeah.... I prolly should rewatch AoT sometime to catch all of it. I'll prolly rewatch it after it the final season ends
As a manga reader, I think the author is a huge fan of Hunter x Hunter.
I mean, people already picked up on this from the anime.
Yeah I don't feel like these two can be compared considering how significant that part of HxH was and how well it was built up.
I think it's more the imagery than the actual context of the overall episode.
Why the fuck they have to go in so hard on the animation? This ep looked phenomenal.
And good bye Lost in Paradise ED, you will be missed...

I like how this whole thing has a horror angle to it. The animation for that part was definitely great.
Jesus Christ, Hironori Tanaka went absolutely in. The animation, these character designs, the layout. That was a visual treat and came closest to the look they were selling in the OP. Well done Mappa you didn't disappoint and gave this episode the attention it needed. Though I should rather thank the staff behind it.
If the aesthetics of how Mahito looks in this episode is just the general aesthetic for the Chainsaw Man adaptation... I would be quite happy.
Also this was easily the best episode out of the lot so far, no contest.

Yep, great episode. Good character development, solid pacing and action. Everything I want in an anime.
The conclusion of the fight was a bit....weirdly portrayed and hard to follow, but overall easily one of the best episodes. Glad Nanami (?) lives to fight another day.
Sakuna is such a fun villain. I hope we get to see more and more of him as they inevitably make him more powerful. Bring on the tournament arc!
9/10 for this episode.
Overall I give part 1 of the show a 6.5/10. There's definitely hints of a great story/show and I'm excited to see where it goes.

Nanami was a mood the whole episode. That flashback was so fucking strong and real like goddamn. Strong Saitama vibes tbh
What really struck me about the animation this episode is how smart it was - the shots were well-composited to get the most out of everything. Like, Yuuji vs. the 3 transformed humans on the rooftop. They pull back so you can see everything, don't even bother drawing in his face for most of it, and the resulting animation is just soooooo smooth. It's great.
MAPPA just showing off with all the Domains
edit:
if Toonami ain't negotiating for JJK dub airing then they've fucked up

He's 100% chaotic evil. Chaotic neutrals don't laugh with a big bad after refusing to save a life. Chaotic Evil would also kill the same big bad if they start cramping their style
Neutral implies he isn't a sadistic monster that enjoys seeing a kid suffer for shits and giggles
Damn didn't know there would be a break. Not that long of one at least.
That intro cut for the Mahito domain expansion is so good. All the hands! Liked how it started with a nice prolonged hand touch. Mahito in general looked great this episode with all the shapeshifting/body changes.
Nanami character backstory is simple but like it a lot. The "are you bragging" response to Nanami's dismay at societal structure in the bakery was funny too.

Actual episode: Yuji failed to save someone he cared about, failed to save his mentor with his own power, mentally tortured by the demon inside and got filled with holes, forced to kill humans for the first time innocent ones at that, basically failed everything he sets out to do at the cost of lives
ED: YUJI HAPPY DANCING
This episode was beautiful from beginning to end, whew. Mappa is outdoing themselves week after week.
The domain expansion scene was really cool, and loved to see Sukuna fucking his shit up

Oooohhhh I called him Chaotic Neutral because he doesn't care and that can lead to bad things happening but yeah... y'all right... he's Chaotic Evil
Another episode where Sukuna is teasing that Megumi is hiding that good stuff.
Yeah Megumi is getting some serious hype.

The previous episode's post-credits sequence with the transfigured humans playing that pirate toy/game and getting startled and running off...
Those were the transfigured children Itadori killed, yeah?

I'm trying very hard to resist, I did watch the first episode and it was incredible.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the case.
I noticed Yuuji is crying in the final scene of the latest opening.
