Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - En route vers l'entraînement des piliers

Just Got out of a Screening of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - To the Hashira Training

I don't know Anything About this, but it's been a Slow Weekend in the Cinema and I'm Eagerly Awaiting Dune 2 to be Released and after i watched that Absolute Joke that is Madame Web and the Snoozefest Anyone But You. I needed another Sit-down.

I liked it and Even though it's Episodic, from what I can Tell, the Characters and Lore are Really Good, here's what I liked -

• The Concept of This Demon Corps Hunting Down and Eliminating Demons.

• The Battles And Different Shots, Angles and Lighting were Great To Watch at Times.

• The Different Characters and Their Training Speciality.

1.🍃 Mist - Movement Training.

2. 💓 Love - Flexibility Training.

3. ⛎ Serpent - Sword Skill.

4. 🌾 Wind - Looked Like the Trainees were just Getting Whooped.

5. 🌜 Stone - Muscle Training.

My Favourite Part of the Entire Watch was this -

• One of the Plotlines of this Certain Powerful Character Who is Now Actively Looking for this Girl who has Somehow Conquered the Devastating Effects of the Sun.

Overall, I Enjoyed it.

If you are a huge fan of Demon Slayer, and want to see it on the big screen - a theater experience, then this is something you might want to watch. If you casually follow Demon Slayer, you probably shouldn't see this.

As literally EVERY SINGLE PIECE of advertisement and marketing information has thoroughly explained EXACTLY what this movie would be showing, there is absolutely zero reason for anyone to be surprised or feel "scammed" by what they saw.

This movie covers a short 5 minute recap of every season thus far, with the ending theme to each subsequent season playing over it; followed by Episode 11 of the Swordsmith Village Arc. The movie then finishes with the 1st Episode of the Hashira Training Arc - an early screening for a season that won't be out until Spring.

How exactly are people deciding to watch this movie without understanding the chronology of the anime? How are you not watching trailers or reading a simple excerpt from an article - or the literal movie description? You're upset that you're rewatching content you've already seen, yet it could just as likely be the case that you've skipped content and just got spoiled by watching this movie since you've failed to even check what the movie is about.

Please do yourselves a favor and utilize, at the very least, the tiniest bit of brain power you can muster, so that 1) You don't waste your precious time and money on a product you don't like, and 2) I don't lose brain cells having to read through these 1-star, angry reviews that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Media literacy. Learn it.

I am getting really frustrated from all of the 1 star reviews on what you guys think of the so called 'movie'. It isn't supposed to be a full on movie, yet people are calling it a 'scam' for absolutely no reason. There has been MULTIPLE teasers/trailers for the last 3 months CLEARLY stating that the movie will include the last episode of the Swordsmith Village Arc, along with the first episode of the new Hashira Training Arc. Nowhere did it say that is would be a full movie including 100% new content. This is supposed to be a fan event with special screenings of the new episodes no one has watched yet.

Do your research before going in the movie theaters mindlessly, having no idea of what to expect, then calling the movie a scam. If you had literally watched ANY trailer for this, you would of known.

One other thing I had to add was that these peoples' reviews have absolutely nothing to do with the rating new content, overriding it with a 1 star review because it was a 'scam'.

The Mugen Train used to be one of my most anticipated movies of 2020, and the Demon Slayer manga has been a great part of my quarantine life. However, I have to say that this film is quite perfunctorily made. Most of the dialogues spend 15 minutes conveying emotions and information that could've been condensed into 3 minutes. Such pacing certainly works for a season-long anime so that you get the most out of each character, but is excessive to the point of tedious for an adapted screenplay. Additionally, the movie focuses on the transition period from season 3 to the Hashira Training Arc, which seems like unnecessary work since it's not an independent story like the Mugen Train. Instead of spending so much time explaining the context, why not make a film about the actual Hashira Training? Aside from the complaints, all the action sequences are spot-on as expected. The segment where the Wind and Serpent Hashira explored the mansion is perfect in length and smoothly animated, and seeing their breathing styles in motion is all I could ask for as a manga reader. Though I'm all for the Infinity Castle Arc to come as soon as possible, I'd ask that Ufotable take as much time as needed to perfect the animation. As a former global phenomenon, Demon Slayer deserves a proper end.

Tanjiro and his friends saved the swordsmith village and defeated two upper-ranked demons. While Tanjio is recovering, the Hashira are meeting to discuss Nezuko's recent ability to withstand the sun and Muzan's next move.

This movie is the next part in the Demon Slayer series and takes place right after the Swordsmith Village Arc. Unlike the Mugen Train movie, this one is more of a filler. The movie spends the majority of the runtime recapping the Swordsmith Village Arc. The remaining runtime does not expand too much on the story, and by the end, it is just a setup for the next arc. The movie is worth a stream for diehard fans and completionists, but it can be skipped for casual fans.
