Demon Slayer is a terrible name, it always makes you shudder with horror. Why not ** The Blade that cleaves demons**?

@asanocean: In my opinion, on the contrary, I didn't really like Reza.
Great! I watched almost everything except "My Hero Academy" and "One Piece". I liked The Endless Castle and went to the cinema to see it.

Who watched it, does it completely overlap with the series? I mean, if you've watched the whole series, does it make sense to watch movies?
@IL-2: Yes, I haven't watched all the films yet, but they continue the events of the seasons, like this. ๐Ÿค”

@IL-2: This is the sequel, there will be no new episodes, the finale has been divided into 3 films.
@IL-2: Specifically, the movie "Demon Slayer: Endless Castle" is a direct continuation of the series and it is definitely worth watching. The rest of the Fighter films completely overlap with the series and there is no point in watching them.

Surprisingly, I agree with most of the nominations. The movie about the Blade is really the best, I watched it in the cinema and got high.
Everything is in fact. I remember that Lazarus didn't come to me at all, but maybe there really wasn't anything better in this nomination.

The best anime movie is Reze's Chainsaw Man. Cool animation stylized as manga + unusual directorial decisions made the film a movie, and not like in the blade, very beautiful series of which were simply combined into one huge one.

I also want to highlight the very good anime "Hundred Meter". This is really a 1 in 1000 anime.
