‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba’: Infinity Castle’ has already been released in Japan, and the first reviews point to be a masterpiece
The final stretch of the anime debuts in Japanese theaters to great success.

The beginning of the film trilogy that will put an end to 'Kimetsu no Yaiba’ is already a reality in Japan. ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle’ was released last Friday, July 18 in Japan, and the success has not been long in coming, with record numbers in its premiere and a series of reviews that increase even more the desire for it to reach theaters in the West.
The long-awaited film will be released in the United States on September 12, almost two months after its release in Japan. Will the same happen with the next two films? The absolute success of the work suggests that, at some point, a simultaneous release will be chosen, but, for the moment, all we have left is to delight ourselves with the reviews, which are as good as could be expected and brand it, in some cases, as a masterpiece.
