Demon Slayer: Mugen Train - 8/10
I haven't been to a movie theater since New Mutants so I really wanted to go. Since I can watch Mortal Kombat on HBOMax I decided to see Demon Slayer to see what all the talk was about since it's now the highest grossing film in Japan's history. I've never seen the anime before so parts of the story were a little tough for me to figure out - at first - but I understood everything by the end. While I don't think it was better than Spirited Away, the previous box office champ and an amazing film, I did think this was a good movie. Animation was really pretty and fight scenes were intense. Again, not being familiar with the show, but I'd say it was both comedic and dark in tone, changing back and forth between both. I *might* watch the first season of the show on Netflix at some point now since I enjoyed the movie.
Favorite characters were the main villain and the good guy who wears a Boar's head all the time and is a big oaf.
