Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village

I liked this "movie." It's not really a movie, but it's great. I for one never watched the anime (pls don't hate on me), and i think it's nice that they show the last two episodes of entertainment district, and then we get third sesons first episode, it's Made so this story conects, not like you are gonna get first three episodes, then it would be stupid like then the story dosen't conect, like i get that fans memorize every second of all sesons episodes, but then it dosen't conect the story how i said. It was a fun expirience for me and it ain't a scam or a Cash grab like it was said in the descripcion that it's the last two episodes of season two and a new episode of season three, overall great expirience !

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.

The movie is not worth it to see in theaters at all. I was expecting something similar to the second season that went more in depth for the train arc. Maybe seeing them go through their recovery and training and idk just not 60 percent of stuff I can see on crunchy roll already. It's like someone just mashed the last three episodes of the entertainment district arc into one video. Multiple credits that you would see while streaming a show. It's basically a recap with an advance screening of the first episode of the sword smith arc. Better off waiting for the new season to come out. Honestly not worth the money to see in theaters at all.

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 'film' is not a NEW movie. When you book it, it literally tells you that this is the two final episodes of season 2 and the brand new season 3 premiere.

I have no idea why so many people are moaning that they got scammed. Do they lack any patience and fail to read things before getting annoyed that their biases were wrong?

As for this showing- it's a lot of fun. Episode 10 looks amazing on the big screen, episode 11 is a gut-wrenching tale and the season 3 premiere looked amazing on the big screen.

One con is that they didn't remove the credits for episodes 10 and 11, leading to some awkward pauses in the flow.
