12:40 (water effects) This painting-like visual effect for the sword styles is one of the stand-out stylistic choices for Demon Slayer! Beautiful mix of shaded diegetic characters and very 2D effects that look like traditional brushwork, with their bold black outlines and vibrant colors. This is unique to Demon Slayer, and evokes a kind of traditional Japanese artwork to go along with its historic-fantasy setting. Also note: it's been clarified by the studio that those visual effects are purely non-diegetic -- in other words, Tanjiro isn't *actually* making rivers in the air with his sword, it's just a visual effect for the audience that emphasizes the motion and fighting style. EDIT: I've been corrected -- apprently there's more nuance to this with the author's notes. So... check the replies and interpret the show how you wish 😅

16:43 "Meiji era" Trivia time! Modern Japanese history counts years based on the reign of the current emperor. For example, the "Meiji period/era" was the reign of Emperor Meiji, which we would call 1868 - 1912. (Before that was the Edo period, which lasted around 250 years and wasn't named after an emperor). Thanks to Tanjiro's word, this scene firmly places Demon Slayer during the Taisho era, which was 1912 - 1926. (This is more or less the tail end of Japan's industrial revolution, where major urban centers will have things we consider "modern" like steam power and electricity, but more rural towns (like the village close to Tanjiro's house in the mountains) aren't quite there yet.) That big demon said he's been there for 47 years, so it sounds like he got captured by Urokodaki just a couple years before the end of the Edo period, stayed trapped there for the entire Meiji era, and now was finally killed by Tanjiro in the early Taisho era. This places Demon Slayer no later than 1915, probably closer to 1913 or 1914. (This is info that any Japanese audience member would probably know just from knowledge of their own history, just like we know that US Independence happened in the late 1770s and the US Civil War happened in the early 1860s. Us foreigners need a bit of assistance learning what the target audience would already know about a historical period 😅)

Thing that is just a straight up lie made by the author who panicked during an interveiw around the time oda came out and said Haki was actually not visible to normal people and all. The hashira litteraly cut stuff from afar or multiple time with one sword moove etc... breathing have power it makes absolutley no sense if it's just sword movement the author made a big mistake by saying an illogical thing like that.

Oh, it definitely has effects that we'd consider supernatural. I don't think that's in question. Similar to any "focus your chi in your feet to get faster" type things we see in any given fighting anime. But I don't think the elemental visuals themselves are supposed to be taken literally. But hey, if you don't trust the author, you can interpret it any way you like 🤷‍♂️

Hello! Sorry to jump in like this, I just wanted to clarify something: the visual effect aren't just for the audience! While the sword moves don't produce any element, the characters actually see the same things as we do. Kind of like an illusion! In an author's note, the mangaka says this: "Swordsmen don't actually unleash water attacks. People who see this just think they see and feel it." To further illustrate it, they also say: "He (talking about a character we didn't met yet) uses the breath of water, but the water is so faint that you don't see it". The more perfectly the form is executed, the clearer the image of the element is!

@Caroline I didn't know he said that 😮 So they're... mystical diegetic VFX? That complicates things 😅. I'll edit my comment to say that there's more nuance to the author's note than I realized.
