Demon Slayer's Mugen Train Arc re-releases in 4K

The popular anime series "Demon Slayer" is set for some exciting updates. The Infinity Castle movie is scheduled to hit theaters soon, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. Studio Ufotable and Crunchyroll are offering plenty of content to prepare for the release. Recently, Crunchyroll added two live shows: the first stage play adaptation of "Demon Slayer" and two live concerts. Fans should expect even more as two theatrical releases are planned for this year. In addition to the Infinity Castle movie, the "Mugen Train Arc" movie will also return to theaters with some upgrades. Originally released in 2020, the Mugen Train Arc movie follows the characters Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu alongside the flame Hashira, Rengoku. This film introduced viewers to the Upper Moon demons and has become the highest-grossing anime movie. It will be re-released on May 9, 2025, in Japan for five weeks before the Infinity Castle movie premieres on July 18. The re-release will feature significant upgrades. The film will be available in 4K with improved audio. Audience members in Japan can enjoy it in multiple formats, including IMAX and 4DX. This re-release is part of a larger event showcasing all "Demon Slayer" arcs, starting April 4. The Infinity Castle movie is anticipated as it will kick off a trilogy that wraps up the franchise. However, challenges lie ahead. Some recent seasons faced mixed reviews, and meeting the box office success of the original Mugen Train Arc, which grossed $473 million, may prove difficult. Fans remain hopeful as they look forward to what’s next in the series.
