Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - Verso il villaggio dei forgiatori di katana

They were completely upfront in saying that this was the last two episodes of Season 2 and the double length premiere of Season 3. If you are mad that this is that, blame it on your own ignorance.

Seeing that penultimate episode on the big screen alone is worth the price for me. The Season 3 premiere was a solid first episode, but I'm glad they included the last two to give some action, as S3E1 is largely a setup episode. Even if it'd be cool to have seen more of next season, it was cool to get the sneak peek. And the new opening was great.

This was a really fun experience, especially since I'd waited to watch the two final episodes of Season 2.

This would really be 8 or 9 for me but I'm giving it a 5 because this doesn't need to be a trend.

I really liked what they did with Mugen Train and the movie being the first half of the last season of the show.

Here though? I knew it was going to be the last episodes of last season and the first episode of the next season but...

I didn't mind it in this case because at the end of last season, as I was watching it, I thought to myself that I'd really like to see these scenes on the big screen. With that... the episodes from last season were fine but did you have to put credits at the end of them and even the opening theme to it? There were even a few times it did the cut as if it was going to commercial(we all know how anime does that-don't bring that part of it to theaters). They briefly recapped the first season and 2nd season near the beginning.

I could understand if they were going to add some deleted scenes to the previous episodes or something but that's not what this was.

Because of all that, for that new material, it honestly wasn't worth the price of admission for just that. What should've been about 1 hour, and 10 minutes ended up being stretched out to a runtime of 1 hour, and 50 minutes.

If you're going to reuse old stuff and take my money, at least don't waste my time.

Demon slayer looks and sounds immaculate on the big screen. Unfortunately though, the film is ultimately three episodes stitched together - credits and all.

The first part is the last two episodes of the entertainment district arc, while the last part is the start of the next series.

The new content looks great and builds anticipation for the new series. We get to meet the rest of the upper rank demons against a familiar backdrop that is mind bendingly beautiful.

I was hoping to see some more colourful demon slayer action in this movie. Instead, a large proportion of the last part of the film is slapstick comedy and loud wailing from the characters.

All in all, I was somewhat disappointed but still enjoyed it overall.

Attention everyone: The trailers and videos for this "film" tell you exactly what you're going to see. Technically, this isn't even a new "film" persay. As it tells you in the trailer, this is Episode 10 and 11 of the Entertainment District Arc, an introduction to the Upper Rank Demons, then Episode 1 of the Swordsmith Arc. People are leaving 1-Star reviews as if they weren't aware of that going into the theaters. It clearly states what I just said, so please keep that in mind.

With that being said, it provides fans and viewers an opportunity to watch the epic finale episodes of the Entertainment District on the big screen, while also getting a first inside look at the Upper Ranks and the Swordsmith Village Arc. It's not all "new" content like how Mugen Train was a brand new movie that no one had seen, and it tells you that beforehand. That's the way I see it.

As a fan myself, I still think it's awesome to see. I'm not going to complain about watching Demon Slayer theaters. It's still the same top tier animation, epic fighting sequences, and characters that we all know and love, but displayed on the big screen!

People that are leaving a 1-Star review are just silly. Did you not read what it was before you decided to go? It tells you exactly what you're going to get, so don't act surprised and call it a "cash grab." Bottom line: it's Demon Slayer in theaters. Enjoy it while it's here and have a good time!

If you go into this cinematic experience expecting another Mugen Train, you will be disappointed. However, none of the marketing materials I saw implied this, so I came into this with my expectations tempered. This movie is advertised as being the final two episodes of the Entertainment District arc and the first episode of the Swordsmith Village arc. And that's exactly what it is, along with some new introductory material at the very beginning. I did dock a couple of stars because I think the episodes should have been edited together more seamlessly, but, as far as I know, that was never implied from the trailers or announcements, so I'm not upset about it. I just think it would have made for an all-around better experience.

However, I thought this film was still great for what it was. I remember watching the final episodes of the Entertainment District arc and thinking, "I wish I could watch this in a theater," so I would have jumped at the chance for that by itself, let alone a preview of the new arc.

So, if you haven't seen the film yet and are expecting another true movie experience like Mugen Train, adjust your expectations. Know that this film is three complete episodes back to back to back, with two of them being already released material. If that makes you not want to watch, then don't! Save your money and wait for the new arc to start streaming in April. But if you just want to experience some of the best action so far in Demon Slayer on the big screen plus an early start to the upcoming arc, then this just might be for you.
