Loved the opening musical number and the final scene with Annette, but I was less than thrilled by most everything else, especially Henry in the second half of the movie. Still, I had to admire the originality of the production, even though I feel the movie overall didn't work. And actually the story itself was one we've seen dozens of time before, but for me, this version lacked depth. I just didn't feel for these three main characters because I knew so little about them.

Beautifully drawn anime with surprising emotional depth. The action sequences are jaw-dropping at times, and certain dream sequences made my eyes water up. I adjusted quickly to the lack of fluidity in the animation because the excellent script and voice actors were so engrossing. The only negative is that sometimes the drawing style shifts and becomes a bit too simplistic for my tastes. But that's true of most anime, I suppose.Anyway, Demon Slayer is truly one of the very best action films I have seen in quite a while, animation or otherwise. I am hooked on the series and can't wait for the next season.
