Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Review

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle boasts stunning animation, emotional story lines, and epic action sequences.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is exactly what fans have been waiting for. After the series ended on a massive cliffhanger, it promises to be wrapped up with three films. The first of which is two and a half hours long, but never drags or feels its length. It almost flies by, offering up important backstories in between epic fight sequences.

The animation style, much like the series, is gorgeous. Of course, to be able to pull off looking impeccable on the big screen, it needs to be of the highest quality. And it is. Every single shot of this movie could be paused and printed out as a poster – it is that stunning.

One of the best things about Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is the fight sequences, of which there are many. It is always entertaining and exciting to see a demon slayer take on a demon, but they really raise the stakes in this film.

Without giving spoilers, the slayers are in danger of dying. Knowing that the story is wrapping up means that anyone is at risk of not making it to the end. The fights themselves are as brutal as they are beautiful.

Villains are almost always my favorite part of stories. Especially those that walk a gray line and are not the villain of their own story. Upper Three demon, Akaza, is exactly that. From the moment we started to explore his story, my heart dropped. I found myself drawn to him.

His story was easily the most compelling part of the entire film. The series often features sad backstories, and this one is no different. It makes it hard to root against them, and, without spoilers, Akaza’s story is the heart of this first Demon Slayer film.

For those who have never seen the series, you could potentially watch Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle and enjoy it. The animation is stunning, and the story is interesting; you just might feel like you are missing details along the way. That said, the film does a decent job of keeping things moving and explaining minor details that you need to follow the story.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is exactly what fans were hoping for. With stunning animation, a captivating story, and unforgettable action sequences, it is worth seeing over and over, as we all wait with bated breath for the next film.
