Why did the crows take about the first and last fight but didn't mention Zenitsu's achievement? Discrimination detected lol
Also did Akaza kill himself or did Muzan kill Akaza because he disobeyed him? I think both interpretations are possible

| @UaEfAlCoN83 Akaza committed suicide. It was simply plot armor for Tanjiro and Giyuu. |
| 10/10 saw it in the cinema, what a time to be alive in Japan and to be fluent in Japanese <3 |
| It's been a while since i read this in the manga, i really enjoyed this good movie. |
  |
| just finished a camprip of it and the theater screen was well-centered through most of it. audio was the usual bad to ok. unfortunately, the fansubber couldn't keep up. TONS of scenes were completely devoid of subs. a pair of folks did come in late to the movie and got in the way. seriously? who comes into a movie this awesome late? looked just as good as all the other entries for Demon Slayer. just as many OP camera angle wonkies and jukes n jives. got some good fights as well as backstories in on several bad n good characters. but of course, the penultimate fight was Tanjirou & Giyuu VS Akaza. Infinite Castle P1 shows ufotable still has that mastery of Infinite Budget Works. ;> |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |

@Jollyne7 would it be plot armor if when Tanjiro cut off his head, he just died right then and there? There's a very obvious reason why he "committed suicide", which you clearly missed.
Mfs will call anything plot armor lol.

| @woodhowze In a strange twist, Akaza received memories from his life just as he was about to finish them off, and the power of his wife's and loved ones' "love" stopped him. Yeah, it certainly doesn't feel like a cheap trick to save the main characters. XD |
| just saw the movie at the theaters in Kawasaki that was way much better than I expected from Ufotable's series. So many things happened, so many changes in the atmosphere of this series, this has just got better and better, from my perspective, I think this Overcome Mugen Ressha-hen because of this movie's lengths and importance of it. well most likely because of Mugen Ressha-hen was a thing, I just got emotional about the arrive of Akaza... This was a beautiful, Amazing and A Perfect movie. I really hope we get more information about the 2nd part... 10/10 from me |

@FZREMAKE Should I define a coherent plot, the fact that it doesn't explain why Nezuko doesn't need to eat humans to power up? The fact that by sleeping, she reaches the level of a crescent moon? The fact that she can survive in the sun without a logical explanation? Damn, DS fanboys are so blind.
| @Leon888 This still doesn't define the deviation from the main plot. The main plot is still consistent. Other than that, all these exception are explained and even if they aren't highly explained to your liking, these kind of exception are NECESSARY in almost every single fucking anime to make it interesting. If you just want to hate on it then you will point out anything and call it a negative point. It has a simple plot. That's a bad point. It has plot twists. That's a bad point. It has amazing animation. That's a bad point. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Cried for Akaza π Regained his memories and was able to move on. Together with his Father, Master and Wife ππ |
| Thread cleaned. Please refrain from baiting, trolling, or derailing the topic. Any further issues will be dealt with warnings. |
| Okay so they're going full saint seiya sanctuary arc/shikamaru platoon arc on these movies. |

A couple years ago when I tried to give this "new modern anime" a try to see if it was worth the hype... and I was blown away, saw the first 3 seasons in a week and kept it on my radar.
Now a couple months ago i rewatched the anime including swordsmith village and hashira training. I was again surprised and really hyped for the movies.
After watching this one I cant describe the thrilling feeling of exitement I got. Good action, lore drops and overall amazing. I think it manages really well to pay off previous plot points and hype out whats coming. Everyone will critisize the Akaza fight and rightfully so, pretty extended backstory, some interrumptions and...
Besides from that, it was beatiful, and may the Infinite Wait Arc between movies commence.

Lauro_Rios said: lol good joke here, and I'll say the two years thing is still a rumor. It's just become so widespread now that people really believe itmay the Infinite Wait Arc between movies commence. |
| Just watched it. The tickets have been sold out during the first week. Ufotable’s animation quality is as great as expected, but there were too many flashback/backstory cuts during the battle, not as immersive as expected. Akaza’s backstory is greatly done though. |
| Just saw it in Japan and I'm so glad I did. Fantastic overall, although maybe a bit too long. Shinobous death was really felt, even though I've read the Manga. Mamoru Miyano did an amazing job with Doma, coming off a super creepy and terrifying. Zenitsu's fight was short yet amazing! And then the main course, Giyuu and Tanjiro vs Akaza, and boy did it live up to the hype. Tanjiro unlocking Transparent World and Selfless state had me wanting to jump up and down. Akaza's flashback was good, really good. But it came too late in the fight in my opinion. |
 |
| RIP Shinobu. Sadge πππ Infinity Castle, more like an infinity flashback. π€ tbh, Those flashbacks were not that bad, though. They’re still manageable. btw, if I remember correctly, the crows didn't announce that Zenitsu killed Kaigaku, right? They did announce about Shinobu, Giyu and Tanjirou, but not Zenitsu. |

@AkeZZZ you're supposed to include a spoiler tag here
| @Magpareddi This is a discussion thread for the first episode/movie. If it was shown in the first movie, we don't need to put it in a spoiler tag because everyone watching should already know about it, if it is something outside the episode, ie, from the original source manga/light novel. We should put it in the spoiler tag. Also, there are some users who mentioned this topic in this thread before as well. |

| Just got back from watching it and was really impressed. Maybe the only criticism would be that the heavy, emotional backstory that accompanied that final fight, probably was a bit much to give that much attention to when it was already well over two hours into the film. It was brilliant, but I personally was already feeling quite drained and it didn't hit as hard as it probably could have done. |
| just got back from cinema tbh, i rarely being active of MAL but somehow i just feel unsatisfied and will randomly rant here. i think adapting this final arc of anime series as trilogy is tricky balancing act. You dont get your traditional movie arc (at least infinity train got abit) because every build up already done in the TV series (bollywood muzan walk), so definitely I was expected it will be fully action packed movie. then come the infinity castle design itself which beautifuly 3D rendered but at same time you have to throw all logic (no fall damage) since you will not know the location of each members (it kinda like to make sense with map making scene). in akaza fight for example, you wont care about their positioning and just assume they fighting in same room despite being thrown around hundred of meter away most of the problems i had definitely the staple of demon slayers (random flashback sad backstory, character able to do stuff despite being injured, random power up during fight), so im kinda on board for most of the part until middle part of the movie. I ask myself, demon slayer always have the "heart" or at least about struggle of humanity vs demon not just flashy fights 24/7, so where it is? .... it is in last half of the movie so in the end, i think pacing is major issue (almost get bored toward the end). can enjoy it is usual dumb popcorn summer blockbuster movie, it is beautifully animated movie from ufotable as usual also, as expected with cool cliffhanger scene that hyped you back before exiting the cinema |
| Nah, i dont think sharing anime ratings in signature is cool thing. Here, stare at this pointless signature instead. |
| I just read a Shinobu doujin this morning so seeing her get killed and absorbed like that was a rather strange experience |
