While first film Mugen Train was a box-office smash and a rare instance of using the movie format to more succinctly and dynamically tell the next arc of the Demon Slayer story, To the Swordsmith Village is – and I can’t stress this enough – just a music videoesque recap of the first couple seasons followed by three episodes sloppily jammed together, with even their intro and outro segments still fully intact.
Saw this in cinema, it was amazing to see the art form this movie had on the big screen, this was my 1st serious demonslayer watch and it was amazing, no wonder there is so much merchandise being sold by street vendors of demonslayer, it is amazing, If you have not seen demon slayer I would 100% suggest it, it is very popular in places like Mexico City
Dwa najlepsze odcinki poprzedniego arcu w połączeniu ze świetnym wstępem do nowego ogląda się świetnie choć końcówka trochę zwalnia tempo względem reszty seansu
First off it was awesome to see the climax of the last arc and the beginning of the next arc on the big screen. This was never marketed as a "movie" but as a early preview of next season.
I would like to start off by saying that, of course, it was really good, lots of fun, visuals were STUNNING, and left me beyond excited for the rest of Swordsmith Village. With that being said, it’s important to note that advertisement for this animation was quite misleading. I don’t think “movie” is a good term to use to describe what this was. What this film comes down to, essentially, is a two-episode recap followed by episode one of Swordsmith Village. This is also without removing cuts in between for intro/outro sequences(which are nice! However, I personally feel that not so much time of the film should have been occupied by intros and outros). With all that being said, honestly, even if they had advertised it to be exactly what it was, I still would’ve gone to see it. I love the experience of seeing anime series’ that I’m enjoying but in theaters. Overall, I’m glad I went, and I wouldn’t take back the experience. Just know that, if you’re reading this and you haven’t watched it yet, please reconsider if a recap and one episode is NOT what you are interested in! It definitely comes off strongly as a cash grab from Crunchyroll(?)’s end of things, however I won’t go badmouthing anybody or anything since I’m fairly unknowledgeable about these things. Just know if the value is worth it to you. It was worth it to me, but it won’t be the same for everyone! Thank you for reading, if you did. Take care
Um filme lindo tecnicamente, com cores que estão cada vez mais agradáveis, e uma estética cada vez mais acertada à proposta. Mas não entendi a opção do roteiro: um prólogo longo, como se fosse um filme à parte, e a segunda metade sendo basicamente um filme preparativo para um porvir, sem ao menos um ápice decente. Brochante.
