Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Movies 2&3 Are Bad For The Anime Industry

by

This post contains spoilers for Demon Slayer.

Recently, fans of Demon Slayer received exciting news about the first movie. It was announced that the film had become the highest-grossing anime movie of all time, even surpassing the newest Superman movie in box office numbers.

The success of *Demon Slayer* at the box office is a huge achievement for the anime industry, especially considering how long-established franchises like Superman have been around. However, while *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle*’s performance is impressive, it could also present some challenges for the anime industry going forward.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Movie Has Set High Standards

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Is In A League Of Its Own

  • Demon Slayer Infinity Castle movie is amazing
  • Demon Slayer has changed the industry forever

The Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie has been incredibly popular, earning over $555 million worldwide, proving its high quality. For those who judge by box office numbers, it’s the most successful anime film ever made. However, this success comes with a significant issue.

The *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* movie has raised the bar for anime films, and fans are now anticipating that same high quality in other series. While this is a testament to the film’s success, it’s unrealistic to expect every anime to reach that level. *Demon Slayer* was already incredibly popular in Japan before the movies, and most series don’t have the same fanbase or financial backing. Creating a film like *Infinity Castle* requires significant resources that simply aren’t available to all anime productions.

The new Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc movie looks fantastic, but it likely won’t make as much money as Infinity Castle did in theaters. Lower box office numbers can sometimes give people the wrong impression, making them believe the movie isn’t as successful or high-quality.

The new Reze Arc movie, created by MAPPA, features some stunning animation, but it doesn’t quite maintain the same level of quality throughout as the Infinity Castle movie. This could leave some viewers disappointed. While not everyone will feel this way, it’s likely that some fans, especially those impressed by the Infinity Castle movie, might find the Reze Arc underwhelming.

Other Anime Series Cannot Emulate The Quality Of Demon Slayer

The upcoming Demon Slayer movies, Infinity Castle Movies 2 & 3, are likely to be huge successes, potentially even bigger than the first film. With ufotable’s skilled animation, they’re expected to maintain the same high quality. These movies, planned for release before 2030, suggest Demon Slayer will continue to be a major force in the anime world for years to come, once again raising the bar for other series.

While not ufotable’s doing, the high quality of the Infinity Castle trilogy will likely raise expectations for anime movies across the board. This could push other studios to prioritize film releases over traditional TV series, hoping to achieve similar financial success. Ultimately, we might see a surge in anime movies, potentially overshadowing the usual format.

Demon Slayer Movies 2&3 Release Date

The Next Demon Slayer Movies Will Release In The Next Three Years

Currently, details about the next two Demon Slayer films are scarce. While ufotable aims to complete the movie trilogy by 2029, releasing two feature-length, high-quality films within the next three years appears to be a very ambitious goal.

Projects this well-made usually take a long time to complete. That means ufotable will need to work to tight schedules if they want to release the movies before 2028. If they succeed, we might see the second movie in early 2027 and the third movie in late 2028.
