Synopsis

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.

First things first: there is no need to watch both this and the movie, and if you're going to watch one of them I would choose this. It has some expanded scenes, and the opening and endings are nice as well. That being said, you could definitely watch the movie if you wanted and not lose anything.

Mugen Train arc is a very short arc of only 7 episodes that frankly does very little to advance the plot. Some enemies and allies appear, some are defeated and some survive, it's hard to pinpoint any momentous shift in the narrative because there isn't one. What this arc ... does do is what Demon Slayer always does, which is gradually advance the plot and the character development in a very tight story that doesn't concern itself with unnecessary things.

Our intrepid and heroic trio which was firmly established by the end of the first season is now ready to go on more adventures in earnest, and now they have one of the strongest Demon Slayers along with them. An enemy close to the Big Bad Muzan also appears, and of course this is no simple train ride from one point to another.

The story doesn't do anything besides what is required, and that can leave it feeling a bit bare-bones at times. For example one of the characters appears to be conscious of their actions but they are a servant of a demon for reasons that are obviously blackmail, but it's never explained what those reasons are. In fact, there are a few minor antagonists that do a decent job filling their role but afterwards they basically disappear. It's unknown whether they remained in service to the demon, repented, went to jail, we just have no idea. I wouldn't be hard about this, and I'm not, but it seems to be a pattern with Demon Slayer to introduce things and then just leave them in the background forever.

The characters are probably what makes this show amazing. The slow development, their little quirks, their relationships with each other, it all trickles out in a very satisfying way that doesn't reveal too much or too little. In this arc we once again learn a little bit about them, and we also see them become very emotional in different ways. Loved the emotions and the characters and the moments between them.

The visuals are stunning, not much to say there. This is next tier, current era shonen for the modern audience and it shows. The soundtrack like most of Demon Slayer is lackluster but does the job that it needs to do.

This would've gotten an 8 out of 10, but the ending hit me surprisingly hard. By the time I usually would be looking to see how much of the movie is left I found myself completely invested and mirroring the characters emotions. Demon Slayer has an indefinable quality that makes it a cut above the rest despite being fairly generic on paper. If I ever find out what that thing is I will be sure to make a note of it, but until then just enjoy the ride because it just keeps getting better!

Mixed Feelings

This is the anime format of the infinity train movie. It has a first episode that isn't in the movie and a few extra scenes but has the exact same content apart from that. Unless you really like the 20 minute episode format I'd recommend watching the first episode of this anime followed by the actual movie as that will most likely provide you with the best experience.

The story of this anime is good and it follows on the first season of demon slayer. It has the same format in which a demon is assigned that needs to be defeated and Tanjiro + friends ...

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 ...
