#Alright, Let’s Start

Summary:
Tanjiro and co, are ordered to rendezvous with the Flame Hashira Rengoku aboard the Infinity Train.Suddenly Rengoku reveals there is actually a demon on the train. Things soon start taking a turn for the worse. A mighty battle commences between a demon who has taken the 200 passengers of the train as hostage and our heroes who must ensure they defeat the demon without sacrificing a single life.

Art:
Typical anime art. That is all I can say.
The only time it becomes special is during an action scene that uses magic. More specifically, the times when they invoke their Breaths and its Forms. The art of the Breath of Water is especially different.
Another special thing is the line work for characters. It is slightly erratic in the fact that it is slightly thick at times and sometimes thin.
The CGI... isn't all that special. It is good, not gonna lie. But it is mainly accentuated due to the excellent camerawork.

Animation:
Again, normal anime level. Nothing especially stands out. There are no scenes that feel "breaking" and the camera is moved around well.
It is very smooth despite there being a lot of elements to animate. Especially so during the action scenes that use magic. The action scenes are honestly one of the best due to the smooth animation and great camerawork.
The camerawork is able to capture the best scenes and have the watcher captivated.

Story:
Plot: It’s Demon Slayer. ‘Nuff said. Well, there's actually an anime remake of the movie with the same name. That would have a longer plot I would think.
Storytelling: One thing you should be prepared for is cringe. If you’re a regular Demon Slayer watcher, then it would be fine. But if not… things might get a bit rough at some places. However, the story is still as good as ever.
Another thing would be how just 1 or 2 scenes may seem like it came out of a third rate manhua. They added scenes where they wanted to showcase the strength of the main cast. However, the monologue-like way of presentation made it come off as cheap flattery.
This is also more "casual" than other movies I've watched, in the fact that, there is a lot of normal comedy scenes that you would expect from a normal anime. It honestly feels like a long anime episode rather than a "movie".

Character:
They hit hard. Each character is given so much depth (as long as they have a dialogue of more than three lines), whether it be in a comedic sense or tragic sense.
Although it does mainly focus on the backstory of Tanjiro and Rengoku. We are barely given any indication about the backstory of Zenitsu and Inosuke. They are just given an introduction of their characters and that is only useful to those who have only watched the movie without reading the manga nor watching the anime.
