What's the Story?

DEMON SLAYER: KIMETSU NO YAIBA INFINITY CASTLE kicks off the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan. Separated by the labyrinth of the Infinity Castle, Tanjiro (voiced by Zach Aguilar), Shinobu (voiced by Erika Harlacher), and Zenitsu (voiced by Aleks Le) each confront one of the Upper Rank demons—and their own pasts—as they race to find Muzan and finish the war.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 9 ):
Kids say ( 22 ):

This fast-paced, action-driven movie is a beautifully animated, emotional installment to a popular anime series. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle puts a heavy focus on the combat choreography and overall violence, but it balances that out by pairing each battle with a moment of character growth. Flashbacks and internal monologues show how characters have matured or are about to change. These moments speak to complex issues of self-image, social injustice, and interpersonal relationships. The film is likely most enjoyable for existing fans, but even newcomers can find something to appreciate.
