Just because there was one smash-hit doesn't mean Demon Slayer movies are a golden goose, and it's clear that Mugen Train was a one-of-a-kind anime film experience.Book of Demons is a Hack & Slash in which YOU decide the length of quests. Frankly, this movie didn't need to be made at all fans could have waited one more month for the actual Season 3 to begin. Making tie-in films for their own sake rarely ends well, and borderline scam movies like Swordsmith Village- which added nothing new - are even worse. Mugen Train was an integral part of Demon Slayer lore, neatly bridging the two anime seasons and then appearing again in Season 2. It's usually clear to fans when a movie is just a cash grab rather than an essential part of the lore, and Swordsmith Village is hardly even a cash grab - it's barely anything at all.

By combining the "Entertainment District" arc's last two episodes with the "Swordsmith Village" arc's premiere, the movie started with a climax and ended with build-up, which is completely backwards. The arc was a bit too long to become a movie, but adapting just part of it doesn't work either. If Demon Slayer had done that for the "Entertainment District" arc and put its first four episodes together in one film, the viewing experience would end with Tanjiro just beginning to fight Daki for real. ![]() RELATED: How Inosuke’s Beast Breathing Technique Can Reinvent the Demon Slayer CorpsĪnime tie-in or not, a movie cannot be the first chunk of a bigger storyline since there won't be a solid conclusion. ![]()
