Demon Slayer to the Hashira Training movie premieres this week.
It will include the last two episodes of Season 3 and the first episode of Season 4.
Japanese fans enjoyed the movie a lot.
It's finally happening, the Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) movie is coming to theaters all over the world. The first screenings start on February 21, and the anime will premiere in the US on February 23. It's time to get hyped, people!
A number of fans have already purchased their tickets for the premiere and they're getting ready to experience the first episode of the new season on a big screen. So right now is the best time to discuss everything you need to know before you head for the nearest theater with a couple of otaku friends (or alone, no pressure).
What will be in the movie?
The movie will include two last episodes of Season 3 (Swordsmith Village Arc) of Demon Slayer and the first episode of Season 4 (Hashira Training Arc), so don't get your hopes up, there won't be much new content.
As we know, Season 4 will adapt the Hashira Training Arc of the manga and will give more attention to the Hashira, so if you've always been a fan of them, this will be a magical experience.
Fans also guessed that there will be some extra scenes that weren't in the manga, and the movie leaks that flooded the internet after the Japanese premiere prove that.
What should you expect?
The Japanese fans are naturally the luckiest ones, since they had the chance to experience the Demon Slayer movie almost a month ago, and their impressions of the anime were rather positive. So you should feel safe: Ufotable met the expectations once again.
The new opening is also great, and if you're especially impatient, you may already find the leaked version online, but we'd suggest you don't because it's always better to watch it in great quality for the first time instead of looking at a smartphone recording.
Fans also say that there won't be a lot of fighting in the movie, but it's still a great watch because there will be some backstories on the Hashira.
Is it worth going to a movie theater?
This feels like the most common question among the fans. It's true that the biggest part of the movie is something that you've already seen online. There won't be any extra scenes added to the last episodes of Season 3.
So basically you'll be paying to watch the first episode of Season 4 two months before its official release. But not after you're forced to watch 40-something minutes of the familiar footage.
That's why it's completely up to you whether you'd decide to do it or not. Some people prefer watching anime on their couch with a bag of potato chips with the option of pausing it any time they need. And some think that watching an anime in a movie theater is an unforgettable experience.
So just make a choice and decide whether 20+ minutes of new content are worth you money and your time.
There isn't much time until the premiere.
