    Me and wife went to see it. That is pretty crazy. Wonder if people who never saw the show went to see that movie not knowing that is part of a series.

      I haven’t watched it as I’m not up to date with the anime. Would it make sense to people that didn’t watch it??

        Not at all. My partner took me because they’re super into demon slayer and it was easily the most boring movie I’ve sat through.

        They were absolutely in awe though. Evidently the personal lore drops were big.

        No not really, this is the last ark of a series. I mean had some part of a recap, but not a stand alone movie. Now we saw One Piece movie in theaters and it could be enjoy without knowing anything about the show.
