Like, at least turn that rage into a charged sword slash or something.

I didn't need the shaking. Just call out to stop it. Heck, they might even be able to talk it out.
Peace.
Last scene was him leaping at pork man, though, so action is being taken?
But after how much time just watching dumbfonded?
Reminded me a bit of Gantz:
"Shoot, Kato!"
"Shoot, Kato,"
10 min. pass.
"Here, Kei-kun, you shoot him."
"Shoot, Kurono!"
10 min. pass
Kurono shoots
Episode over
I see two ways to build up these types of scenes:
Method 1:
-Pig hits wife.
-say "stop that" immediately (shows immediate retaliation / efforts to stop assailant)
-Pig says "nah" or keeps going.
-Repeat "stop that a few times perhaps".
-Pig keeps going.
-"I SAID STOOOOOOOOOOP" (afterwards will now intervene defensively against further abuse, escalates appropriately)
Method 2
-Pig hits wife.
-MC grits teeth and silently shakes fist, eyes would be omitted during portrait camera shot.
-Pig keeps hitting, maybe laughs, wife cowers and makes a sad sound.
-MC grits more teeth and shakes some more.
-Pig laughs and beats harder.
-MC explodes and does something violently harmful towards Pig.
Here:
-shakes and shakes more..
-"Hey, stop that".
Either build up towards something big, or have him escalate gradually. This had him build up to weaksauce. That's my beef.

Episode 15:
this episode had some really nice looking 3d Animation scenes.
The short first person pov scene looked great, and that pig-man's detection ability too.
The great thing about the latter was that you could tell it's some kind of "sonar" simply by how they animated the detection process.
That was expertly done in my opinion. (it doesn't explain WHY he can do it, but nonetheless, that was neat)
I'm assuming he's got one super-sense since that seems to be a thing with the Demon Slayers. Tanjiro has super smell, Zenitsu has super hearing, etc.
I still can't get over the part where Zenitsu was legitimately attempting to hide behind an 8 year old girl because he felt threatened.
He was annoying when he was introduced. Then he got worse. Then he shows his secret badassery with both the super hearing and the one move. But hiding behind a little girl is so wrong it's actually funny. He's such a loser it turns around to become endearing.
Plus I like his sparrow. Way more than the crow.
Episode 17:
That was a nice Rock Lee-moment.Well presented, I loved when he powered up with lightning aura.
This entire character is just "What if worst character ever was Drunk Rock Lee every fight".
Sparrow should have died. Zenitsu totally zapped Sparrow when he went Lightning Form.
Still, it was pretty cool. He actually opened his eyes for some time during this move, hopefully suggesting that he'll be able to use this more consciously from now on. He'll still need a motivational booster because that's who he is, but at least he won't have to pass out.

This is my biggest fear: one of the birds dying. Pls don't 🙈😿
Oh. That pocket watch is also wrong. Mechanical watches didn't tick by the second. That's a quartz thing.

Episode 18:
Caught up after falling behind a few episodes. was struggling for a bit since they changed directions halfway through the series with adding a lot of silly comedic moments.
Anyways, should be obvious who one of the 12th is at this point, and it's not the father... though he was a beast.
Zenitsu is still the most annoying fuck there is in the series, just the same he has the coolest scene. Just not sure if it's enough to put of with him until those come along.
And what's the deal with the series giving us ZERO Nezuko? Part of the charm of this series was going to be Tanjiro traveling with her demon sister, but there's barely been any show of the series biggest draw in Nezuko thoughout it. Makes little sense to me.
Ugh, that last scene had me flinch back irl. Omg, such a nasty attack. Resisent Evil 1-movie lasers in thread-form 🙈
I wonder if Inosuke's skull was broken or damaged otherwise. Consie he was revealed as a bishounen, it'd make a nice contrast. And damn, I felt bad for him. Hope he gets some power upgrade soon.
Their magic swords are shit!
I actually thought the same, lol.
Fifty bucks says Nezuko jumps out of his backpack to help them both avoid that wire.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I mean, that should be the obvious thing, yes.
In fact, it's weird she hasn't gotten involved in this at all up to this point. It's not like he hasn't been having a rough time already while she's been napping.
Episode 19
----------------
God damn!
I've hated Rui this whole time, since he's so annoying and arrogant, and halfway through this episode I was starting to wonder when this arc would finally end. No surprises anywhere, right up until the climax.
Which...holy shit!
At first it seems like a total ass-pull, power up out of nowhere. Convenient background backfill out of nowhere. Oh, so Tanjiro's family had their own secret breathing technique...bad writing...right? But still visually amazing.
Then the dots start to connect...
Nezuko is a mountain demon (oni of the traditional Japanese flavor), basically, so of course she has some sort of hellfire. She gets bigger or smaller at will, fangs and claws and all that good stuff. No issues there.
Previous demons have been enraged at seeing Tanjiro's earrings. Which are family heirlooms. No surprise there, there's some history or relation to demon slayers in the past.
The ass-pull is that it seems like the whole father thing and fire breathing technique is bullshit created on the fly for a power up.
Then I connected the effect shown when he strikes Rui's neck and it blasts out the backside. It wasn't some fire/water fusion. It was exploding sparks. Like what comes out of a strong crackling fire. But not a regular wood fire. Tanjiro's family are charcoal dealers back in episode 1. The setup has been there the whole time.
The only downside is that it looks like next episode is more of Rui's backstory. I don't give a shit. The annoying little fuck can stay dead. Let's move on to his headless fake sister and get out of the woods once and for all.
