Demon Slayer Infinity Castle X: Epic battles, stunning visuals, unforgettable anime experience! (Pc: IMDB)
The new film delving into the realm of Demon Slayer has just premiered and the fans are already going crazy because it is the first movie in a new trilogy, but can it be said that it proved the lasting appeal of the franchise or was it a show of style over substance? We explore the very core of the fandom to find out what really appealed to us and what we felt maybe could have done with more.
The unanimous answer is in the affirmative, it is worth the hype, but the reason why might not be what you expect. It is an experience of the senses that drives the limits of anime; however, its structure has been the source of dispute even among the staunchest of the rabid followers.
The debate is unnecessary: again, studio Ufotable has provided a visual and auditory masterpiece. Critics all agree on the fantastic animation, which they claim to be some of the best animation ever in the medium. The Infinity Castle itself is a character the constantly changing architecture of which forms a surreal and dangerous stage on which the battles take place. The strikes of the sword are shown in flowing, balletic motion and the effects of light and shadow are grounded, at best, in the realm of film.
It is also praised in sound design, where every bang of thunder and two-blade collision is meant to be a gut-wrenching experience at the movie theater. This uplifting, immersive experience makes this film an essential experience to many, a communal exaltation over the craftsmanship that has made Demon Slayer an international sensation.
The visuals are universally loved but the pacing of the film has ended up being a major subject of debate. The critics and fans indicated that the film is not so much a film but rather a collection of episodes intertwined with one another. Much criticism was made on the excessive use of flashback, which was typical in the series.
Although these backstories offer the necessary emotional and character development, it was perceived as a weakness in that they often disrupted high stakes fight scenes.
Others believed that this plodded the story along and the 155-minute length seemed interminable. In the end, though, this is the strength of the film, its capacity to provide spectacle, emotion, despite the fact that the means to this end is somewhat bumpy to those of us who wish the film was flowing at an even pace.
