Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train Storyline

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train is a follow-up to the extremely popular TV series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba (2019) that premiered in April 2019 and was based on Koyoharu Gotouge’s comic, which boasts over 100 million copies in circulation in Japan. Featuring animation production from revered animation studio Ufotable, the story follows Tanjiro Kamado’s journey as a demon slayer after his family is brutally murdered and his sister is turned into a demon. The film opens as Tanjiro and his comrades have completed their rehabilitation training at the Butterfly Mansion, and they arrive at their next mission on the Mugen Train, where over forty people have disappeared in a very short span of time. Tanjiro and Nezuko, along with Zenitsu and Inosuke, join one of the most powerful swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, to face the demon aboard the Mugen Train, on track to despair.

Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train Movie Reviews

Might just be my new favorite film of the year.

Rengoku is awesome in this film, and you understand why everyone looks up to him.

I just have to state the most obvious thing though, this animation is truly breathtaking, if you love the show you’re going to love this movie.

To be honest I just had a great time watching it, me and my friends all loved it, not to mention the fight scenes are impeccable.

Definitely an A+

So pretty

Had no idea what I was walking into, that’s as frank as I can make it. Out of nowhere my kid has a love for Demon Slayer and here I am along for the ride. But she’s seen the show and I had no context. Here we have a bunch of people on a train, one of them really excited about his bento box (“Umai! … Umai!”), another wearing a boar’s head, now everyone’s asleep and pretty soon the fighting begins . . .

That said . . .

It is a gorgeous film. The battle scenes are exciting, the animation is superb, and the high quality bears out (Tanjiro’s water effects are crazy).

Purely on a visual level, I enjoyed this film. I have no doubt that any self-respecting anime fan is scoffing at my ignorance, but it is what it is. Mugen Train is easy on the eyes.

Western studios could learn a lesson about storytelling from this film.

From the outset, I knew nothing about the series that preceded this cleverly structured and engaging animated feature from Harpo Sotozaki. The young “Tanjirô” has seen his family killed and his young sister possessed by a demon. Determined to avenge himself on these shapeless menaces, he begins to train to become a demon-slayer under the tutelage of “Kyôjurô”. The demons feast on human beings, so when they are charged with investigating some terrible goings-on on the “Mugen” night train, they encounter quite a bit more than they bargained for… Its good fun, this – the story mixes action and character development quite effortlessly, and the standard of animation is consistently high culminating in quite a compelling twenty minutes at the end. I did find it a little too long, but for the most part the interweaving timelines and the sparing but effective use of dialogue made for an enjoyable film to watch. The colourful creativity of the art work works better on a cinema screen; the details of the drawings – light, shade, shadow – especially during the latter part of the film really does lend itself to big screen exposure. The soundtrack isn’t bad, either – it compliments rather than dictates the pace of the story leaving us with a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining piece of cinema.
