"The film picks up from a thrilling cliffhanger of the fourth season, where Tanjiro and his fellow comrades are thrust into the lair of the demon-in-chief, the cunning and all-powerful Muzan Kibutsuji. Much of the film is structured around various battles between the series regulars and their sworn enemies. The challenge of sustaining the narrative is tempered by the use of flashbacks, providing a backstory for each of the formidable foes."
"Each demon slayer is armed with a specific breath and fighting technique, which manifests into flows of water, fire, and thunder imagery, providing a striking contrast to the cavernous design of Muzan's Infinity Castle. The latter, evoking perhaps the endless staircases of MC Escher albeit with a Japanese flair, is a handsomely animated spectacle where corridors and hallways fold into one another like endless labyrinths, while fusuma and shoji screens function as trap doors used to throw the demon slayers into unimaginable dangers."
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is the first part of a trilogy concluding the popular anime series, directed by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by Ufotable. The story continues in a mythical Taisho-era setting where Tanjiro Kamado and the Demon Slayer Corps confront Muzan Kibutsuji inside the labyrinthine Infinity Castle after a fourth-season cliffhanger. The film centers on vividly animated battle sequences, each slayer employing distinctive breath techniques that manifest as water, fire, and thunder imagery. Flashbacks provide backstory for formidable foes but occasionally slow combat pacing. The film's Escher-like castle design and galvanising orchestral-to-electronic score heighten life-and-death stakes.
