The Movie Mugen Train:
 |
The Movie Mugen Train:Brief Story Line. The story takes place immediately following the conclusion of the first season, with the three young Demon Slayers—Zenitsu (Hiro Shimono, Attack on Titan, etc.), Tan Jiro Kamado (Natsuki Hanae, Digimon Adventure, etc.), and Inosuke (Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale, etc.)—boarding a train to begin their most recent mission. As usual, Nezuko, Tanjiro's demon sister (Akari Kitō, The Demon Girl Next Door, etc.), was also there. All of them were tasked with helping Flame Hashira Rengoku (Satoshi Hino, Gintama, etc.) in his search for the demon, which turned out to be Enmu (Daisuke Hirakawa, Itazura Na Kiss, etc.), the Lower Moon One who had been murdering slayers in the past.  As previously said, I was drawn to this picture since it broke several records and ended up being the biggest-earning movie of 2020—better than most Hollywood productions. Needless to say, I had to witness the uproar for myself in order to comprehend it. But since it was supposed to be a straight sequel to the program, I watched the first season before watching it to better understand the narrative.
Because each episode only lasted between 22 and 25 minutes, including the opening and closing credits and a quick post-credit sequence, I finished 26 episodes in a single day.  The film's basic plot was simple because it took place nearly exclusively in or around a train. But the battle sequences were what really excited me. They were outstanding, and the last battle was really amazing. I was ecstatic to see the ultimate stance; I was literally holding my breath. And an agreement made me like this series even more. There was also a very touching scene, and I genuinely appreciated the courageous actions the demon slayers performed.
 Over the course of the 117-minute film, I found myself really entertained. There were a few lovely and melancholic moments in the first section. A few times, I chuckled too, especially at Inosuke and Zenitsu's ridiculous actions, which were consistent with their usual behavior throughout the series. The animation was excellent, with a number of realistic-looking sequences (particularly the one when the train is moving). By the way, every voice actor from the series was also in the movie. Yes, there were no post-credit or mid-credit sequences, but we did get to witness some character animation during the lovely song-filled final credit. |
