Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen

A mysterious string of disappearances on a certain train has caught the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps, and they have sent one of their best to exterminate what can only be a demon responsible. However, the plan to board the Mugen Train is delayed by a lesser demon who is terrorizing the mechanics and targeting a kind, elderly woman and her granddaughter. Kyoujurou Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, must eliminate the threat before boarding the train.

Sent to assist the Hashira, Tanjirou Kamado, Inosuke Hashira, and Zenitsu Agatsuma enter the train prepared to fight. But their monstrous target already has a devious plan in store for them and the two hundred passengers: by delving deep into their consciousness, the demon intends to obliterate everyone in a stunning display of the power held by the Twelve Kizuki.

They kinda cooked with this arc, Huge step up damn

Art - 9.5/10 Animation is overall similar, but they use the effects? during the fights alot more, which just look amazing in the dark backdrop, I think the colour pallete is also a big help with how good it looks, alot of light blues, oranges and reds in order to make the animation shine in the dark night. (1 pretty bad CGI moment that if you have seen you will know what im talking about) worm.

Characters - 8/10 Zenitsu and Inosuke are still kind of annoying, but they are more serious characters this arc, Nezuko shines ... in the action and Tanjiro becomes a character I actually respect, great growth for only 7 episodes.

Story - 8/10 pretty cool concept of the train, never really see trains in anime and I think they are hella underrated, maybe I just like trains but they always add to the adventure.

Ost/Sound Design - 9/10 Holy soundtrack, during the fights the soundtrack goes crazyyyy, but the opening is weak which is why its a 9

Enjoyment - 8/10 Less annoying comments from Zenitsu and Inosuke and overall takes itself far more seriously, Huge upgrade.

Overall - 8/10 somehow this has a lower rating than season 1 and i dont know how thats crazy.

Mixed Feelings

Here the story starts to get a little more interesting, but the problem is that it's still the same anime, completely non-logical characters, there's no way to feel charisma for any of the characters, because they simply all have an extremely forced personality that seems to have been written for a child, the problem is not just the lack of depth of the characters, but the point is that the characters are so uninteresting that you don't want to know about them, it's like

1- Good character who will do everything to save his sister, has no chance of dying, and will always develop something at ... the right time.

2- Character who doesn't think and just goes forward, his goal is just to fight like an animal

3- Character who wants to marry all women, and has a hidden personality in which he begins to fight well

4- Very nice character who inspires others to fight and says the right words at the right times.

The characters don't break out of these stereotypes at all, but despite that, it's relatively better than the first part.

The graphics are still excellent in my opinion, the sound too, the story develops, getting cooler and cooler, despite being shallow.

Not Recommended

I think the 3D animations were horribly out of place among otherwise peak of the artistic animation effects and one of the main characters was mostly one-dimensional, annoyingly larger than life without any backstory suitably explaining why, making me unable to empathize with them for the most of the story. Long shots, scenes and dialogues where nothing really happened.

The fights were, again mostly just plain boring and repetitive.

Story didn't seem very unique or interesting, little to no character development, same old over the top quirkiness that, for the most part, I've found just annoying.

I didn't watch the movie, but I wish I did instead, as ... I assume it'd be more compact and thus more enjoyable than those 7 episodes that seemed too long for the amount of the content present.
