Initially released in Britain in 2021, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train is set after Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season one and acts as a direct sequel. It follows characters Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke embark as they investigate the mysterious disappearance of over 40 people aboard the Mugen Train.

The film is the most successful Japanese release of all time, grossing over $507million at the worldwide box office. The re-release of the film will arrive May 14, available with both English dubbing and Japanese with English subtitles. The film is also available to stream now on service Crunchyroll.

NME’s four-star review described it as being: “Like a Gen Z horror version of Murder On The Orient Express”, writing that it: “pushes the boundaries of what makes a great anime fight scene while delving deep into the motivations of its three leads”.

As for the forthcoming movie, a press release describes Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle as “the first film of the three-part trilogy, represents the final arc and culmination of the hugely popular award-winning anime shonen series”.

This new film will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on September 12.

In April, fans delighted at the news that five TV specials from the Demon Slayer universe that were previously available only in Japan were now streaming in the UK. Elsewhere, the anime genre faced legal uncertainty in Texas, after the broad wording of a proposed law in the US state meant that some beloved anime series could be deemed illegal.
