Demon Slayer Infinity Castle is marked as the best Ufotable animation by the fans

As mentioned earlier, with the pre-release of the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle film in Japan on Friday, July 18, 2025, the global fans, who still have to wait for two months, started projecting questions at the Japanese fans. One fan in particular, by the username @imhimgojou, has also deemed the movie as "the best Ufotable production ever".

From the trailer itself onwards, Ufotable has been providing the fans with several snippets of the upcoming film for the Demon Slayer franchise. By the plethora of positive reactions on the internet, it is safe to assume that they have delivered on their promise. However, the split in the fandom due to the difference in release is still a black mark for the film and Ufotable.

The first movie, a part of the three-film series for the Demon Slayer Infinity Castle arc, titled Akaza's Return, is purely focused on three major fights of the series: Doma vs the Insect Hashira Shinobu, Kanao and Inosuke, Kaigaku vs Zenitsu, and Akaza vs Tanjiro and Giyu. Each battle holds a significant place in the series' narrative, making the film a requirement for the fans to watch.

Ufotable has been upholding a standard with the Demon Slayer series, delivering a new peak in animation with every consecutive TV series and film of the franchise, and they certainly did not let down the fandom with the Infinity Castle film. LiSA and Aimer have also done a commendable job of portraying the series' gravity through their music compositions.
