Demon Slayer movie: Infinity Castle REVIEW!

Kickin' demon cans all over the place....

Oh my god, this was worth the hype and then some!!!

So, Demon Slayer infinity castle the movie, what's it about?
We follow on from our fave demon slaying crew from the titular anime series, who make their final assault to go kill the big bad of the demons, MUZAN! However, it's not that simple as MUZAN springs a trap and gets all our slayers and Hashira trapped inside an endless castle that continues to shift and change and homes endless a horde of demons and the tough and scary Upper moon demons. Come see the thrilling fights and see who survives the night.

The fights oh my jumping johasaphats they were incredible with my most hyped being the best hands down with Akaza Vs Tanjiro & Giyu. Zenitsu Vs Kaigaku was so good too! The Doma first fight was great. One demon has probably the longest death on screen, it was crazy. Pacing is an issue, but we must remember this is a film. The TV series will flesh it out more.

For a part 1, this was solid gold and I can't wait for the next instalment. 

MUZAN WE COMING FOR YOUUUUUUU!!!!

The English dub cast was just spectacular, Akaza, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Sayou voice actors were the obvious stand-outs. Music was 🔥 Visuals and animation was out of this world!!!

Overall a total contender for film of the year and one of the best anime films of all time! 

Go watch and enjoy!

I'm A Demon Slayer (original poem, lyrics, homage)

I'm a Demon....Slayer,
I'll cut off your head,
Demon....Slayer,
I will bring you, your end,
Demon....Slayer,
I'll kill you dead,

North East, North East,
Your mission is there,
Demon's say a prayer,
Through the snow, I go,
I will stop your feast,

I'm a Demon....Slayer,
I'll cut off your head,
Demon....Slayer,
I will bring you, your end,
Demon....Slayer,
I'll kill you dead,

South, South West, South West,
There I go to my next quest,
With the forest ahead,
The air it's filled with dread,
Come face me demon, So I can cut off your head,

I'm a Demon....Slayer,
I'll cut off your head,
Demon....Slayer,
I will bring you, your end,
Demon....Slayer,
I'll kill you dead,

With my Nichirin blade,
My sword will be a different Shade,
As I breathe in with total concentration,
I exhale and swing my blade with frustration,
You will suffer for all you have done,

Blood demon art, your head shall depart,

I'm a Demon....Slayer,
I'll cut off your head,
Demon....Slayer,
I will bring you, your end,
Demon....Slayer,
I'll kill you dead,

Flower, Love, Flame, Sun, Sound, Mist,
Serpent, Thunder, Stone, Insect, Wind, Beast,
Water,
These are the way's, my breathing can kill you,

I'm a Demon....Slayer,
I'll cut off your head,
Demon....Slayer,
I will make you dead,
Demon....Slayer,
I'll bring about your end,

Hinokami Kagura, I'm a Hashira,
Set your heart ablaze, This is a lifestyle and not a phase,
Dead calm, Six fang,
I'll bring down Muzan and all the upper clan,
Thunderclap and flash!,

I'm a Demon....Slayer,
I'll cut off your head,
Demon....Slayer,
I will bring about your end,
Demon....Slayer,
I'll kill you dead,
Demon....Slayer,
Now, OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train - Film Review - Thrill ride!

This film kicks off where Season 1 ended, Tanjiro and the group have completed their rehabilitation training at the Butterfly Mansion, and they arrive to their next mission on the Mugen Train, where over 40 people have disappeared in a very short period of time. Tanjiro and Nezuko, along with Zenitsu and Inosuke, join one of the most powerful swordsmen within the Demon Slayer Corps, Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, to face the demon aboard the Mugen Train. 

The 45 mins I would say felt like an elongated episode so it's what fans can expect from the animation and humour, set up, characters, music so on but then the rest of the film and even some moments in the first half just stand out completely in the beautiful scenery and fluid action shots and animation that demon slayer has inside its self to become a rising household megastar in the making. The animation, action, music, score, voice acting is all just a pure 10/10. 

There is one thing missing which fans have come to know and love and which has also made this demonic anime stand out and that's the villains or rather demons and their sympathetic backstories but hey maybe some villains are just evil and have no stories for why they are how they are and just because they chose to be and that is what we will learn and that is fine, not all evil can be sympathetically explain perhaps is my rational thinking here. Despite that one little loss of sympathetic villainy backgrounds, we do have great touching and emotional moments still. From start to end it's a thrilling ride aboard this demonic train with almost everything fans here have come to know and love from Demon Slayer! 

I was only introduced to this amazing anime series, quite recently and wow is all I can say, because this series is amazing! 

Seriously, do yourself a favour and boot it up on netflix and enjoy the series!

Anime returns to the big screen here in the UK with a HUGE BANG!

9/10
