Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba - To the Swordsmith Village

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.

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.

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 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 '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.
