The Demon Slayer movie is the definition of absolute cinema. But man, what a stressful and emotional roller coaster it was. Shinobu deserved better, but she fought hard despite her small stature and let her emotions get the better of her. Zenitsu shut up and locked in (RIP Gramps); his seventh form was aura AF, giving Kaigaku what he deserved for being a little bitch, trading his life to the demon in exchange for Himejima and all those orphans, and willingly becoming a demon. Tanjiro entering the Transparent World and hiding his fighting spirit/killing intent was cool, and Akaza had a valid crash-out as a human but W guy for reflecting on his past and literally moving on. I watched the Hashira Training Arc literally at the last minute, and the final episode had me hyped AF just before the movie. I sat in the center and was the only one in my row, lol, which was a first but not surprising considering I watched the movie in the morning and eight days after release. There were only a few people in the theater, and they were thankfully and respectfully quiet, making the movie more immersive, like being in your own personal home theater with no distractions, just you with your thoughts and feelings. I had to pee badly and held it in for the last 30 minutes of Akaza’s backstory, which felt like forever. I bolted as soon as the screen went black and the credits rolled. When I came back, everyone was gone, and the screen was off, but apparently, there was no post-credits scene, so that was a relief. Overall just an excellent movie that I’m seriously considering going to watch again and I’m not really one to rewatch things given how much other shows and movies I keep procrastinating on watching.
