Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train is a brilliant encapsulation of the series’ strengths and appeal, filled with moments of pulse-pounding action, heady emotional gravitas, and fantastic character-affirming moments of levity and humor. Read full review

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train continues to prove the power of animation and how it can make the story of a boy slashing up demons with a katana about more than sleek fights, but also about how violence affects its characters. Read full review

Mugen Train plunges straight into the continuity that its huge fanbase wants, and that opening walk among the tombstones sets up that there will be no release from the historical horror aspects that have made the show such a massive success. Read full review

Ufotable’s jaw-dropping visuals alone make Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train well worth a watch, even if the film stumbles a bit at the climax. Read full review

Anyone who’s hacked through enough “Demon Slayer” to keep pace with “Mugen Train” can surely handle what this movie has to offer. It’s the rest of us who might want to think twice. Read full review

Beautiful visuals that also adds to the artistic narrative. Studio Ufotable definitely never disappoints with animation, especially in this, they just keep one upping itself again and again.

Studio Ufotable definitely never disappoints with animation, especially in this, they just keep one upping itself again and again. One of the coolest soundtracks I've heard as well. If you love the show, it's worth it, I don't get why people would watch this if they didn't like the show in terms of characters, what did they expect? The movie is an arc to the story, not a standalone film. The pacing throughout the film is amazing. The voice acting (sub) is really high quality and was even emotional for me. The CGI used is really well done, didn't distract me at all. Story wise, there were so many awesome plot-twists/story-elements that just made me love the characters even more, and was very understandable to follow. There was no dumb 10-15min recap at all, goes straight into what we left off at in season 1. Character portrayal is fantastic as well, would say few wouldn't like Enma since the demon is the standard psychopath who monologues kind of character, but believe me, it's worth the watch since there's more to it. 10/10… Expand

Great movie. Must say ufotable hasn't dissapointed. The animation is top class and the story is engaging. Despite being R rated it still holds up as a family movie. I am very interested to see how this anime continues in Season 2

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 22 and 23 episodes made me so dissapointed. Such a stupid and unrealistic exaggeration of "ego" of demon slayers who were participating tribunal. This anime is so one dimensional and filled with a lot of childish and dumb moments. I consider it my last anime title I will ever watch.… Expand
