This long-running franchise, ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’ has gone ballistic with its sprawling new entry ‘Infinity Castle,’ an instalment which is far more artistic, bigger, darker, bloody, violent and action-oriented than its predecessors. This film is the first part of a cinematic trilogy expected to hit the theatres in the next couple of years.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has become a highly successful brand. The anime, inspired by the original manga, ran for 63 episodes. The feature Mugen Train came next, and it stormed the Japanese box office. It became the highest-grossing Japanese film at the global box office, garnering over 500 million USD to date. It even scored really big at the US box office. It became the second-highest-grossing anime film after Pokémon: The First Movie. Infinity Castle has all the markings of a big hit on the cards.

Tanjiro Kamado, now a distinguished member of the Demon Slayer Corps, which also includes Nezuko and the Hashira, has been lured by Muzan Kibutsuji into the Infinity Castle, a multilayered, constantly shifting cityscape. It’s a hostile, challenging environment where the Corps take on a variety of demons - lower rank and terrifying Upper Rank ones, before they can find Muzan inside its puzzling layout.

‘Infinity Castle’, like its cinema predecessors, feels like several episodes of the series has been stitched together. The script keeps moving focus to new characters and subplots. And there are way too many of those.

Director Haruo Sotozaki makes sure to give us a magnified view of each character and their actions.
