I read that section of the manga, so I knew it was coming but as soon as that music hit when Tanjiro was screaming at Akaza, I could no longer contain the tears and cried quite a bit.

I'm glad I got the time to watch this before the new season in October. I never read past this arc so I'm excited to see what's to come.

Oh hey, this was actually pretty good. Who'da thought?

Best part was obviously everything that happened after beating the train. Will super-demon randomly showing up actually ever get an explanation? Who knows.

It's absolutely hilarious how annoying blond guy and annoying pig guy have so little personality, they didn't even get their own dream world.

This movie was amazing. The story was very simple (although I don't really mind), but the whole thing with dreams and whatnot was quite interesting.
The action was very smooth up until the Rengoku vs Akaza fight, which was very awesome and gorgeous.
The ending and credits though;-;
Homura (by LiSa) is such an amazing song...

I read up until chapter 70, I'm a bit sad that they didn't adapt a few more chapters (like why Akaza appeared), but I'm sure they'll add that in season 2 hopefully.
I had some gripes with the movie but I still loved it. 9.5/10

I just got to see the Kimetsu no Yaiba movie, and what I have to say is...it was AMAZING.
The animation, the soundtrack, the final part(where most of us probably cried), the final song(LiSA <3!). This movie has been great.
Now we have to wait for Kimetsu no Yaiba season 2.

Everything was amazing, except for the story. Staff was given the material, and they brought the best out of it.

Definitely enjoyed watching, but a high chance I'll forget it in a week (unless a kid starts arguing why it's the best anime movie ever).
Great job ufotable. Definitely a 7/10.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

This movie is nothing short of phenomenal, it got all the things right about this arc as I have remembered them in the manga. From the comedic scenes to the blood-pumping-action and finally, the painful departure of a once great and compassionate man by the name of Kyojuro Rengoku! An intense tear-jerker, worthy of shedding tears for...This arc marks the first of the current Hashira to die, it's an indication of just how terrifyingly overpowered the Upper Moon ranked demons are. Rengoku is a man all others should strive to become, a selfless hero and a son that is capable of making his parents proud.

Speaking of Akaza the 3rd upper moon demon, if you know, you know. This guy is a beast indeed, but also... [REDACTED]

It's a shame that I am unable to watch this movie in a cinema, the experience would've been significantly more glorious there. Nevertheless, I am glad to finally be able to watch it!

It was better than expected, although it still is filled with serious flaws. Childish characters making scenes annoying, one dimensional villains and mostly Ufotable not knowing the difference between enhancing a moment and dragging a moment. But Soundtrack was amazing, and they finally gave us something to feel for. It's a solid popcorn movie. 7/10

This movie is just a beautiful masterpiece I'm quite thrilled every scene with their chemistry and their interactions with every fight they're up against

It was just an emotional trainwreck right from the end with the feeling of relief and nerve-racking at the end

Thoroughly enjoyed it from the start to the end now for the second season of the series to come.

AMAZING, SIMPLY OUTSTANDING.

Almost a year after the film's release and right about the time before Season 2 started, I was debating whether to watch the film before the TV version of the movie airs tonight, and I made the step to watch the film first. And at least for the movie, EXCEEDED my expectations.

The Flame Hashira Rengoku Kyokuro IS A MAN. Communicated like a man, felt like a man, fought like a man, and died happily like a man. To protect and preserve all 200 people onboard the Infinity Train, while fighting against 1st Lower Moon Demon Nemu and 3rd Upper Moon Demon Akaza, Rengoku is simply put, a mastercraft of a character, and mangaka Koyoharu Gotouge knows it best to write Rengoku the ultimate way she could.

The usual trio of suspects (plus sister) do their usual stuff like we've seen from Season 1, though Nemu's dream sequence leaves a bit to be desired on Zenitsu and Inosuke's part being more of a comedy than anything, that still leaves me chuckling as usual.

What's there to say about Ufotable other than the cinematography, simply put, was gorgeous, on par with Episode 19 of the anime.

If there's one lesson from all of this, it's that Demon Slayer taught the anime industry to start producing films for shows with sequel seasons going forward, because this business model is VERY, VERY profitable.

Finally got so see this movie, let's see if the hype was real. Good production in terms of music, animation, seiyuu and colors, BUT to me the art was bad and the story very generic. The whole went to sleep due to the enemy and now you have to confront your past in said dreams is repetitive, it has been used a million times in the past on anime, they could have done better for a movie. I think my problem is more with the story of the manga/anime overall, it hasn't "captivated me" like the start of previous shonen series (Hunter x Hunter, One Piece, Yuyu Hakusho, etc.). Don't like the characters, they all look too childish, even more than most of My hero Academia. The main character looks too weak and immature and is always breaking down crying, lol too much for me. Also what an useless character Rengoku was, probably has the best design and they wasted him like crap. All the moves he did were lame and looked awful, only two things that he did were nice, and that was the speed thing in the train and the last attack which ended up been a big failure in his face. They even show a useless flashback of his mother and him coming back to chop the upper demon's head just to fail miserable. Anyways if the rest of the Hashira are gonna be similar to that then wow not interested in them, cause that dude wasn't impressive. He could have even tricked the demon to waste time either talking and/or fighting more, cause the sun was coming out, but nah Rengoku was dumb. Anyways this movie to me was very bad so it gets a 3/10.

Imagine seeing this in theatre. Wish we could see stuff like this release on the big screen in my country. In terms of pure writing, some things were the classic shounen-ish moments and dialogues, the story and character are simpler compared to other series but everything was delivered powerfully thanks to the amazing direction and execution. The struggle inside dreams was a very good plot device, and it's amazing how they make you feel for Rengoku despite having relatively few screen time, considering he mostly appeared in the movie. He strongly delivered the message with his speech and the combination of Music and Animation brought the whole on another level, especially in the last half hour. Surprisingly touching, the feels were delivered and intensified with the LiSa song in the credits. Overall great movie, 9/10.

Ah as always, I feel no life to the characters, since they all have such linear personalities.

And the siblings for Rengoku does not look any different either

Yet again, they are recalling Tanjiros past family who he is saddened about...

The idea of Zenitsu's subconscious was so random..

Scene for the dream part has been dragged on for over 30 minutes already...

What begs even more question is, why does the lower one want more blood from Muzan to become powerful so he can be at the higher rank?
Exactly whats in it?

Been putting too much emphasis to "become a demon, become a demon!"

Anyway going to stop typing here.

Amazing. I went in with a microscopic grain of salt, I was even waited 2 years before watching this movie, just so that I don't dive in with huge expectations a,d be disappointed. Well, I kinda did, but I was still well served afterward, this is such an amazing Canon display. One of the best canon/sequel movies.

This movie almost killed me! There are so many scenes wherein I forgot to breath. Good thing it also reminded me to do Total Concentration, Constant!
“Why does an apple fall when it is ripe? Is it brought down by the force of gravity? Is it because its stalk withers? Because it is dried by the sun, because it grows too heavy, or because the boy standing under the tree wants to eat it? None of these is the cause.... Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will is in the historical sense not free at all but is bound up with the whole course of history and preordained from all eternity.”

One of the most okay movies I've seen this year, was goodish but not enough to keep me interested, so it took me a few sessions to finish it, simply watching while having dinner, haha. The spider arc was way better.

Ufo keeps outdoing their previous works.
Nah, I had super high expectations for their films cause of Heaven's Feel but it's clear they care more about adapting Fate with how much more amazing the fight animation quality there is. Heck, some distractingly out of place CG was here, even, usually I do not care to point out CG if it's fine but yeah, quality wasn't super. Music was, however.

Best DS has been and the movie was glorious, enjoyed the fight with Enmu against friends, and stayed for Rengoku vs akaza . The last part definitely sealed the deal for me on this movie, as it did most people I assume! Oh yeah, Zenitsu was good in this movie and R.I.P. Rengoku. :(

That was a rollercoaster. It had a few funny moments here and there but the ending and Rengoku were everything for me. Tanjirou's dream was most likely the best part besides the ones mentioned before. His solution to waking up was very interesting and unexpected. However the first part wasn't as good as the first season. The last lower moon felt more like a filler villain with that weird ability that didn't make that much sense. The humans in the train were behaving in a weird way and then the part with the kids felt out of place.

BUT THAT LAST PART! I knew Rengoku will be amazing. His backstory, his serious moments and well, him being a Hashira, were all great. Him dying still feels weird, it's like the author didn't want to have him around anymore now that Tanjirou knows where to find help for his flame dance. Nevertheless, it was still an amazing fight and an ending that made me tear up. His speech and the final moments were touching as well as everyone's reaction. I don't know if it was the worst match for his ability, but the Upper Moons look too strong, although Akaza was the 3rd most powerful so there's also that.

Akaza might be a demon, but he actually just wanted a close buddy he can spar with forever, he really concerned and had a bit of doubt on killing Rengoku and kept offering him to be a demon several times.

pray
Such a warrior bro he is. RIP Rengoku~
