Despite the Hashira Training Arc only consisting of nine chapters, Ufotable has been forced to include anime-original content in the Demon Slayer season 4 anime adaptation. This is due to the limited source material, making it challenging for the studio to produce an entire season without incorporating original scenes.
Luckily, Ufotable appears to be on the right track, as they have received positive feedback despite including filler material – a feat not achieved by many other animation studios. This was further evident in the fan response to the latest episode of Demon Slayer season 4, where viewers were thrilled to see Obanai Iguro and Sanemi Shinazugawa teaming up to face Muichiro Tokito.
Demon Slayer season 4: Why are fans singing praises of Ufotable?
Ufotable has received immense praise from Demon Slayer fans for their anime-original scenes, which have effectively complemented the manga series. The inclusion of these scenes in season 4 has enhanced the story by providing more depth. Furthermore, the animation studio has seamlessly incorporated the manga content, ensuring that the anime remains cohesive and faithful to the source material.
Ufotable gave viewers a sneak peek of the training session involving Obanai Iguro, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Muichiro Tokito in the previous episode, offering new storylines and developments for fans to anticipate.
How Fans Reacted to Demon Slayer Season 4 Episode 4
Many fans expressed their appreciation for the anime’s original scenes, as they hinted at the potential for additional original content. They also expressed their interest in seeing more anime original content featuring other Hashira, particularly Gyomei Himejima.
“Really loved this scene. A great snippet for what’s to come,”one fan said.
Despite this, some fans were not aware that the fourth season had started airing. Nevertheless, the excitement surrounding the new anime scenes ensured that they were informed.
“I don’t understand, is Demon Slayer back?,”another asked.
The inclusion of anime-original scenes depicting the Mist Hashira’s ability to single-handedly battle two Hashira was greatly appreciated by numerous Muichiro Tokito fans.
“And this is one of many reasons that Muichiro is my goddamn GOAT hashira,”another fan said.
“For the things that’s not possible, muichiro beating two hashira who are stronger then him as per the manga,”another said.
Despite this, some Demon Slayer fans were displeased with the scene as it deviated from the events in the manga. The manga had established that Sanemi and Obanai were more powerful than Muichiro, therefore it seemed illogical for the Mist Hashira to take on the Snake and Wind Hashira alone.
Despite this, there were still some fans who expressed disappointment with the recent episode from Ufotable. This was due to the perceived brevity of the episode, causing fans to crave for more content.
“It felt like the shortest episode,”other fans said.
“Shoulda made this arc a movie instead of mad filler,”another stated.
“The ufotable training arc for the upper 1 fight,”other fan said.
Additionally, some fans argued that Ufotable should have chosen to adapt the short manga story arc as an anime movie instead of a television series with filler content.
Finally, there were some fans who speculated that the filler episodes served as a training ground for Ufotable employees, who would be responsible for adapting the remaining story arcs of the manga series in the near future.
