A press release for the film revealed: “Fans will have the chance to return to Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train next month before Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, the latest film in the franchise, comes to cinemas in the UK and Ireland on 12th September, 2025. The first film of the three-part cinematic trilogy represents the final arc and culmination of the hugely popular award-winning anime shonen series”.
NME’s four-star review praised the film’s action, and accessibility for those unfamiliar with the genre. “Like a Gen Z horror version of Murder On The Orient Express, Mugen Train pushes the boundaries of what makes a great anime fight scene while delving deep into the motivations of its three leads” critic Kyann-Sian Williams wrote, concluding: “Cleverly put together and a great watch even for anime newbies”.
Recently, Demon Slayer specials previously only available in Japan were finally made available to stream in UK.
