HT review of film
The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is an exhilarating start to the anime’s grand finale. It dazzles with some of the most spectacular animation ever put on screen, pairs it with a stirring score and top-notch voice work, and delivers character arcs that feel satisfying even amidst all the action. While its pacing falters in places and its structure shows the weight of being part one of three, the film’s strengths far outshine its weaknesses.”
It added, “For devoted fans, this is everything one could hope for — an immersive, visually stunning return to the Demon Slayer world that raises the stakes for the battles ahead. As an opening act, it leaves you breathless and eager for the next chapter.”
