| Seen it on theatre today and it was okay. You won't see me complaint about its technical quality, it was simply very good. There were a lot of lot of battle sequences and the animation is very well matches with the speed of it which makes it definitely worth the experience of seeing it on a big screen. As for the plot and characters, they still very simplistic and remains essentially the same as ever. If you have seen the TV series you won't lose anything about the characters or even the humour which I still think interrupted serious and emotional moment many many times. (And my goodness how cringe Zenitsu's dream are). I could go on but my criticism is basically the same on what I saw from the TV series, so I better just stop here instead of being a broken record. However, one thing that disappoint me most is Rengoku's character. As a prominent characters in this arc, He is essentially just a spectator for the first hour and half, we get to see a tiny bit of characterization, but it is simply not enough to make me cares about his character. As a result, when he carrying the action in the last part of the series which ultimately lead to his dead, I just not feeling anything emotional. I really really wanted to liked this series. I don't hate The TV series, I think it was a shounen with good setting and high production values albeit a very simple plot and characters but at the very least it was a spectacle. I went to this movie expecting it to be better but unfortunately, it wasn't. It just doesn't manage to leverage the TV series in any way shape or form. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Just finished watching the movie at our local cinemas today it was lit. |
 |
| Just finished in cinema. Best animated film i've ever seen my god. The animation alone could carry this whole show, that's how good it is. Its sad knowing that animatiors get paid fuck all, and look at how much passion and precision was poured into this film. It has everything I liked about the first season in one movie. 9/10. |
| *insert cringey anime reference here* |
| Never have I seen a movie get a loud applause in theaters by everyone at the end. And for an anime movie to get one is just amazing. Been one of the greatest anime movies of all time. Discard the hype and stuff, but this movie adapted the most memorable moments in the series so this is a gem. The BGM was spot on, specially during Akaza's intro and Rengoku's burning spirit. Truly a worthy attend. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| a very good movie, I would give it an 8/10. The animation is great as expected. The music is very good, there were some moments where the background music was sooooooo loud to the point where I was about to close my ears, I couldn't even hear what they were saying especially during the action/fighting scenes, I don't know if it was because of the cinema theatre or the movie itself though. The forced comedy was off putting sometimes, although there were few quite few moments were it was more natural and it was actually very funny. And also Nezuko-being-cute moments are just so cringe-worthy, I don't know why they are overusing it, please don't ruin this character for me. P.S. the movie doesn't deserve an 8, it probably deserves a 6 or a 7, so many reasons for that, one of them is the story is just so generic/basic/shouneny, especially Rengoku's backstory, there is nothing that could make it stand out. Other reasons are mentioned above. Also the movie had so many battles/fighting scenes with loud background music that is enough to make you deaf or trigger a seizure. So why I gave it an 8? ofc because I can and I think it is way better than other overrated movies in this website like Your Name and Spirited Away. In terms of enjoyment, yes it was enjoyable for a one-time watch, I probably wouldn't watch it again. The TV series was better, so I think S2 is gonna be good as well, maybe movies just aren't my thing IDK. |

| Such an awesome adaptation once again. All praise the gods of sakuga ufotable! RIP Rengoku. 😭 |
 |
| Just watched it in the cinema last night and it was amazing to see it in big screen ! Ufotable very smashed it with the animation quality! Anyways Rengoku was my favourite of the whole Hashira unit and I’m glad he got a whole movie to himself to showcase how strong he is, shame about the end but the manner of his death especially after seeing his mother who was proud of his actions was really touching. Annoyed that the demon didn’t die cause it makes it all for nothing start from stracth with him regenerating and will prob go on a kill more humans, it’s true what the demon said as hard as hashira can train and be strong they will always be dispensable. It just shows how much more Tanjiro has to go to become a hashira but looking forward to season 2 I’m tempted to read the manga now. |

rarewaifu said: i must know did the rengoku fight top the big fight scene in Fate Heavens Feel 3? im very curious Have not seen HF3 but I think Saber Alter vs Berserker in HF2 is still slightly better than Rengoku's fight. But I hear that HF3 tops everything the previous movie did. |
 |
| The only thing I don't really like with the Demon Slayer franchise is it's humor. Once again, it more miss than hit when it came to laughs, everything else was phenomenal though, especially seeing it on the big screen. 9/10. |
rarewaifu said: i must know did the rengoku fight top the big fight scene in Fate Heavens Feel 3? im very curious I've seen both in the theaters, but I'd say that quality wise, HF3 Saber Alter vs. Rider/Shirou is better with a large margin. But emotional wise, Akaza vs. Rengoku is better. Though HF3 would have been better in that category too if |
 I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao |
| he animation is just BEAUTIFUL- PERFECT AND JUST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA but the pacing is trash so 7/10 the ending also made me cry, Rengoku man |
| Watched at my local cinema Wow the train cgi was so good Ufotable always doing good adaptations Ending was sad though, I kinda like the endings where the hero wins like some my hero academia type bs 9/10 movie |
| Wow that was epic the final battle was awesome. Really enjoyed the movie 9/10 can't wait for season 2. RIP Rengoku |

| Just watched it with my brother. The movie felt like 4/5 episodes of the anime but with slightly higher production values. Not really what I hope to see from an anime movie, but I probably should have expected it since it's not an anime original, but rather an adaption of an arc from an in progress series. Train demon was very average. Basically a tentacle monster. My brother loved the first season and even he couldn't lie about the movie dragging during the dream sequences. As cool as Rengoku was, it's hard to care about a character that dies so soon after being introduced. I really hate when this is done in media, not just anime. All action scenes, especially the final fight were very well animated as expected from ufotable. |
10/10 speech, president zuramp. |
| HUNTER X HUNTER HAS RETURNED!!!!!!! |
| Just saw this tonight at the cinemas. So worth it. The sound FX and sound track alone where amazing. But seeing the fight scenes on the big screen was awesome. |
 |
| I never thought I would be seeing one of the biggest anime movies, where I live, in cinemas. I loved every second of it. Animation was top notch and I would've stared my boy Rengoku a lot longer than the movie. Bgm was amazing and Im waiting for the album release so I can re-live Rengoku vs Akaza fight scene. 10/10 would cry again. |
 |
| Well, 6.5/10. Maybe 7. Plotwise everyone knows what to expect, but I have to say: this movie would have worked better as an ova. I do understand why they made it a movie (money, that's why) but the pacing is terrible. Like, the movie drags out for so long when they are on the train, then they suddenly decide it's time to settle things. Tanjiro "putting himself awake" was cool if you understand the meaning and courage it takes to do that in japanese culture. Villain was lame as fuck, but I mean, only the 3 Upper Moons are decent so nothing to say there. Now, my main issue: the cgi is atrocious. Actually bad, and I was quite surprised by it. Most scenes involving the train part look okay, but once the main plot kicks the cg goes to jarring. It actually looks terrible and knowing what Ufo can do, I was dissapointed. Like a lot. 3/4 parts of the movie look decent to normal. And then the last act kicks in and all the budget was there, you can tell. Demi-fiend's theme is amazing (it even sounds like something out of Nocturne) and the fight itself was the selling point of the movie. It was great, not as great as HF, but amazing nonetheless. Now I want to see 2 fights that could happen in a hipothetical season 3, since those 2 fights are really good. Besides that, Hino Satoshi was great as Rengoku, Demi Fiend algo got an amazing voice. Music was great, Zenitsu was as trash as always, the comedy was terrible and the arc itself is not important besides Rengoku's message: to set your heart ablaze. Pretty entertaining, but I still don't understand why japan is so obsessed with this manga. |
| I cried, it was beautiful. |
| :) |
| That was fun! Actually viewing the movie on the big screen changed my perception of the film going in. It's very detailed and the backgrounds are well done. Go Shiina back with the signature Tanjirou tracks were nice too. There are issues with the movie but I feel comfortable giving it a 8.5/10 |
 |
| Just watched the NA premiere in my theater, epic is the only thing I can say. Absolutely epic movie, I enjoyed the hell out of it especially the last 30 minutes which was nothing short of incredible. While the train demon himself wasn't all that great, I found it interesting how his sleep spell explored the characters themselves especially the difference between the representation of all of their subconscious. I especially loved it when Rengoku instinctively stood up and clutched that girl in defense when he sensed his spirit was in trouble. Really liked the exploration of Tanjuro's family and his lingering regrets, the moment he heard his Dad tell him that there is still something that he had to cut, I knew he was gonna cut himself. The fact that he kept killing himself during the fight with the train demon must've taken an insane amount of will power. Fight sequences were absolutely stunning, like literally every single one was fantastic. Always been a big fan of fancy Katana moves so literally every sequence gets my hyped and releases my inner samurai fanboy. All that said, I think the final 30 or so minutes almost overshadowed everything before it. It was incredible, intense, high octane, so much emotion. I couldn't budge in my seat, it felt weird to even take breath cause it felt like it would spoil the moment. Honestly, the entire Rengoku vs Akaza fight is easily one of the best things I've seen in the theater. Brilliant. The final moments as Akaza runs away trying to escape into the sun after Rengoku so nearly had him at the cost of his life, Tanjuro yelling that Akaza was a coward and that the Demon Slayers are always fighting at a disadvantage, the way he yells Rengoku won that fight is so gut wrenching and emotional. Rengoku won the fight in our hearts but since he died and Akaza lived, it's still a loss. I teared up with that and as Rengoku spoke his last words. It's a real shame that he died so early into the series, yet somehow I was very invested in his character. 10/10, so much heart in this. |
 |
| Wow. First movie I’ve seen in a theater since March 2020. I feel like I couldn’t open my eyes wide enough to take it all in. Going to seen it again in 2 days!! The animation was so impressive, and I’m so glad to have experienced this in surround sound. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series! |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| The action and soundtrack was great! The comedy felt forced but still made me laugh here and there at points. I think this is a great set-up for the next season and even though it was sad how it ended I like that both the good and bad guys are equally getting killed off |
| It has been months since my last anime movie. Now I just finished watching this in the movie theaters and it was the best choice I have ever made. Dang man. What a blast. Rengoku was so good. |
rarewaifu said: i must know did the rengoku fight top the big fight scene in Fate Heavens Feel 3? im very curious Nothing from this movie tops the best fight of Heavens Feel 3 (Salter vs Rider), but some of the fight sequences come pretty close. It’s another showcase of why Ufotable are the leaders in the industry when it comes to splicing together 2D animation with 3D backgrounds and effects. Nozomu Abe’s cut in particular was extraordinary, and with Ufotable potentially done with Fate (maybe not though since Fate route or Tsukihime or Hollow can be adapted), I’m excited to see what they have in store for us with season 2 for Demon Slayer. |
| Movie is insanely good. I already had high expectations but after watching the movie in theaters It blew them away. Salter vs Rider in Heaven's Feel 3 is still in my opinion the best anime fight in history but Rengoku vs Akaza is a definite close second. 1000/10. |
 |
| I just saw the Demon Slayer movie and it was an awesome ride. The fight between Rengoku and the Upper Three demon was one off the best moments from the movie. I almost cried when Rengoku died like I did when I first saw it in the Manga. There were a lot of people in the theater, but not as packed when I saw Dragon Ball Super Brolly. It was also the first time being at the movie theater since the pandemic. I can't wait to own it on Blue Ray. 10/10 |
 |
| Score - 9*(A+). A pretty awesome movie.. well ITS Ufotable so the Animation was perfect... I love end scene on this, it make me so sad.. without that Ending I would not give it 9*. Great Movie. |
| Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is a great movie. I think it had some slight pacing issues at the very start, but it never lets off the steam once the fighting starts. Lower One's death reminded me of Envy's from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I pitied him. I did not at all expect that plot twist at the end with Akaza appearing and fighting Rengoku. Absolutely amazing fight. 9/10 movie for me. |
| But... WHY. Rengoku... I can’t stop sobbing and bawling my eyes out ╥﹏╥ |
| First anime movie and I was surprised that it sold out during my screen time. Give Tanjuro's voice actor an oscar, immense performance! Rengoku biggest bro, and I will miss him. |
