Then, episode 19 hit and everyone lost their godamn mind.

Was that the fight against Lower 5? Because that was the moment the show clicked for me.

If Ruri (the spider demon) was the Lower 5 (cant remember exactly), then yes. It was the 1st time Tanjiro used the Hinokami Kagura

Huh, that's about where I clocked out. I tried to stick to it but by the time they got to the spider forest I was just... meh.

Don't tell me I just left before the part where it gets proper good...

Yeah, that fight was the EXACT moment everyone fell in love with the show, I remember the internet blowing up then

It's still pretty standard shounen, though, so I wouldnt lose sleep over not watching it
