Summary
Tanjiro and co begin their training to become Hashiras
As I have already reviewed the Swordsmith Village Arc I won’t be talking about the first half of this event film. It was fine but I had already seen it and talked about it so why waste words.
The opening episode of the new arc however was intriguing. The Wind and Serpent Hashira chopping down a legion of demons and unwittingly discovering the Infinity Castle that has been used to organise demon meetings before is interesting as now the Corps will seek it out. I also liked that Tamayo is now going to be more directly involved in the series if she goes to help the demon slayers.
My main complaint of the film was that it didn’t show what the remaining high ranking demons were up to, the implication is that they will now all come for Nezuko but it would have been nice to have got a moment seeing them discuss this.
It would also have made more sense for this to be a combination of the first two episodes of the new season rather than the last episode of the last season and then the first new one as most of the people in the audience, myself included had already seen the first half of this compilation film.
Overall, a promising start to the new season but it would have been better if it didn’t rehash the end of the last season again.
3/5
Pros.
A promising new start
The opening is strong and heavy on the action
It is nice to see the characters react to Nezuko talking
Cons.
It would have been nice to have had a better insight into what the demons were planning
It shouldn’t have re-shown the last episode of the last season it just seems like filler
