Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Infinity Castle - Part 1: Akaza Returns
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Every last member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro Kamado included, just got pulled into the Infinity Castle, Muzan Kibutsuji's personal fortress where the walls shift, the floors collapse, and everyone gets separated almost immediately. This movie is the first part of a trilogy covering the final arc, and it wastes zero time throwing characters into life-or-death fights. The subtitle tells you what matters here: Akaza returns, and if you remember what he did during the Mugen Train arc, you know that's a problem. Giyu Tomioka is right there alongside Tanjiro this time, which sets up one of the most anticipated rematches in the whole series. Ufotable is doing what ufotable does: the animation blends 2D and 3D in ways that make fight sequences feel genuinely cinematic rather than just flashy. The Infinity Castle itself is a character, this impossible M.C. Escher-looking space that keeps everyone disoriented and isolated. There's real tension in not knowing who's going to run into which Upper Rank demon. If you liked the scale of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War or the final season energy of Attack on Titan, this hits a similar note: it's the endgame, stakes are maxed out, and not everyone is making it through. Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen 0's tighter movie format will appreciate how this condenses the chaos into a focused, intense experience. Set in Taishō-era Japan, grounded in grief and stubbornness, and animated like nothing else out there right now.

I LOVE WATCHING IT! Even if I've seen it so many times, but I love it when the fight of Akaza V.S Tanjiro and Giyu!
This is a masterpeace anime
it was good but bro did you have to tell akaza you were there? just cut his fucking head off and get over it anyways
10/10 movie. Visuals, animation and music we're absolutely stunning!! Akaza's backstory really hit us emotionally as well. Giyu and Tanjiro's team up was a highlight
It was perfect
Gravoso Non mi sono mai messo a recensire i film di Demon Slayer e nemmeno li ho loggatti perché non sono nulla che spicchi, carucci, qualcuno di più qualcuno meno, ma sempre carucci, ma non posso dire lo stesso di questo; sarabbe ingiusto non dire che sono partito con aspettative basse dato che tutto il resto di Demon Slayer l'ho trovato solo "caruccio", e sarebbe disonesto non menzionare che a me gli Shonen proprio non piacciono, però questo film è proprio un dito su per il culo. Bisogna dare a Cesare quel che è di Cesare, l'animazione è fantastica e soprattutto... Soprattutto nulla, solo l'animazione è fantastica, il resto è un obbrobrio, non solo questo film non va avanti di trama, ma non spiega nemmeno nulla dei personaggi, spiega giusto (in modo incredibilmente penoso) Doma ed alla fine Akaza, che il classico demone visto per la quarantesima volta, ma la mancanza di spessore di trama non è nemmeno il peggio; questo film è la definizione di eye candy e basta, perché anche a livello di film è penoso, vista la mancanza di trama il film è composto solamente da scene di combattimento (clamorose per carità eh) che non sono nemmeno collegate bene tra loro visto che nasce da un manga e tiene quella struttura da manga che si adatta bene in un anime ad episodi, NON AD UN CAZZO DI FILM, ed infatti hanno usato quaranta flashback totalmente vuoti ed inutili per cambiare scena di combattimento, bellissimo visivamente ma mi cade i coglioni a vedere 2 ore di combattimenti random uno dopo l'altro. Non ci siamo proprio, pacing più anticlimatico mai visto per un film e già questo rovina tutto ed in più 0 trama, cosa dovrebbe farmelo piacere? La scena triste di Shinobu e quella di Akaza che si suicida? boah. Di bello rimane l'animazione e quella è spettacolare, ma se nemmeno mi risulta piacevole il pacing e come sono collegate le scene mi rimane solamente più di 2 ore in cui potevo farmi un mega segone.
PEAK !!!
bvvgg
Very good 😊 but sad 😢
It’s a 10/10 start to the end. The animation, soundtrack, and action were all insane—it was definitely worth to watch! The only downside is that now we have to hold out for Part 2.
As an animator & anime fan I'll tell this was the craziest Animation, VFX & Lighting just top notch! impossible architecture, cinematic camera movement, just perfect! " okay, this is the final battlefield. no one is safe. just rooting for Tanjiro "
this movie , wow akaza's backstory
I like

absolutely stunning movie, visuals, ost, akaza's backstory destroyed me:'), giyu and tanjiro my GOATS, rip shinobu:( (tho her story's not over just yet, so i can't wait for that!) zen also killed it, will be SEATED for part two (hopefully) next year
Akaza has to go down as one of the best characters of all time, I don't think I have seen so much depth in a character in a long while, and it's not just his backstory too, it's all the details in his design, all the details in his personality contrasting with rengoku, but similar to rengoku too when he was hakuji, the way he stands like his master, the way he talks asking for peoples names, which I think is a callback to keizo asking his name, he has amazing depth if you try to find it
Beautiful animation and story absolutely does the manga justice. CAN NOT WAIT for part 2!
