Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle has finally entered Western theaters, and the scores are in. The anime feature had a very successful theatrical run in Japan since its release back in July. However, according to the latest scores on Rotten Tomatoes, this latest anime film is in a close race with its predecessor, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.

As of writing, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle received a high critics’ score of 96% and an audience score of 99%. These are incredibly high ratings, especially since the last film, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training, released back in 2024, got an 88% critics score and a 79% audience score. However, when compared to the highest-grossing Demon Slayer film of all time, Demon Slayer: Infinity Train‘s critics’ score ranks two points lower, but shares the same audience score.

According to critics, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle was praised for its animation and visuals, voice cast, emotional storytelling, and how it jumps straight into the action. However, it was criticized for its “episodic structure” and repetitive storytelling. Meanwhile, fans also noted how the feature felt like the ending was dragged out, but praised its animation and visuals, claiming that it was an excellent start for the franchise’s epic conclusion.
