Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 4: Fans are angry on Studio Ufotable
As soon as Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 4 was released, Social Media was divided over how Ufotable failed to capture the emotions in the anime series shown by Tanjiro in the original manga.
Few of the fans immediately took to Twitter and pointed out the mistakes made by Ufotable and few others defended that the expressions were perfectly captured through the animation. They were impressed with Ufotable and are excited about the upcoming episodes.
The fans who are complaining about the animation pointed out that the whole episode was terrific except for a particular scene on which they are unable to come to terms. Ufotable failed to capture a particular expression of Tanjiro as illustrated in the manga. According to these fans, Ufotable shouldn’t have made any changes and should have stuck with the expressions that were illustrated in the original manga. The fans weren’t also impressed either with how Tanjiro’s attitude or his confidence wasn’t portrayed to the mark in the series.
THE FACT THAT IT WASNT THAT HARD TO RIGHTLY ANIMATED THAT AND UFOTABLE STILL MESSED UP??? 😭😭😭

What is the difference in Tanjiro's expression, even I don't detect it, what is the point of comparing if he is well adapted?

A Twitter User named @SketchyArtist05 even “re-illustrated” Tanjiro’s original expression, edited the picture and posted it on Twitter.
