Guardianes de la noche: Rumbo a la aldea de los herreros

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!

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.

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.

Seeing anime in a theater is a special experience in the United States, because you know that everyone who's joining you loves the genre and is just as excited as you for what they're about to see.

This special event was no exception, and it was well worth the trip to the theater for anyone who is a fan of the series.

As far as the content of the special, it is presented as you would see them on TV... as episodes. They keep the intros, the end credits, the songs, and the episodes end as they normally would, just without the ad breaks. That would be my one and only critisicm of this event. I believe it would have felt just a bit more special if the studio had removed those openings and end credits, and made some adjustments to the sound and footage to string it together as a film, that way the audience would have a slightly more unique experience than they would have, simply binge-watching the episodes in one go at home.

That being said, the episodes are fantastic. Amazing fight sequences and animation, a subplot that nearly makes you cry, and of course getting viewers excited for the upcoming season. Absolutely worth seeing in the short window that it will be in the theater.

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.
