Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village

The anime it self is a masterpiece . An anime or any movie is made with story, acting, screen play, art etc. But this anime stand's out because the animation is outstanding. And the stories are mediocre. The story is not very good or very bad actually I personally like it. This anime is very unique in animation. And other things are very mediocre. This anime is for 10 years and up . But I think the adults would not like this very much because it lacks very important things like r-rated dialogues , r-rated violence .

So yeah 👍 it lacks in many things but animation gives them a extra push to be a good anime . I suggest this animated everyone.

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.

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.

A lot of you dislike about the movie because it's mostly recap and poorly edited together. Yes, that is true, but holy the new episode makes up for it. The cgi animation completely blows every other anime out of the water. The camera controls and large scale shots were immaculate, and the comedy afterwards was great too. And some of you may say it's bad because there were no action scenes, but I think it would be weird to expect another fight right after the last season ended. So overall, this is a great movie, but it should have been edited together more seamlessly. I did find sitting through credits 2 times midway through the movie a bit weird.

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.
