New 2025 Hit Anime Movie Is Coming for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’s Throne

by

I’ve been watching Demon Slayer really take the world by storm this year, especially with the release of the new movie, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return. Everyone thought it would be good, but honestly, I don’t think anyone predicted the numbers it’s been hitting. It’s been huge, not just in Japan, but all over the world, and it’s still incredibly popular. However, it looks like this movie might face some competition soon.

A new movie, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, has recently become a big success in Japan and throughout much of Asia. It’s definitely gaining popularity and drawing attention away from Demon Slayer. Many viewers think that when it comes to overall quality, it’s a stronger film than Demon Slayer, although it likely won’t match Demon Slayer’s total viewership.

Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc Is the Next Big Hit Anime Movie

Reze Movie is Doing Incredible Numbers At The Japanese Box Office

For some time now, Japan’s box office has been largely defined by a single film: the latest release from Demon Slayer, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return. Since its debut in Japan in July, no other movie could compete with it-until recently. Chainsaw Man released its own successful film, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, and it was finally able to challenge Demon Slayer’s dominance.

Wow, I’m blown away! The Reze movie has already earned ¥2,900,000,000 and attracted 1,960,000 viewers in just 10 days! That’s seriously incredible. While it hasn’t quite surpassed Demon Slayer in total earnings, it really demonstrates just how massive the Chainsaw Man franchise has become.

Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc Is The Better Produced Movie, But Demon Slayer Has Higher Popularity

  • Demon Slayer Is More Appealing to A Larger Audience
  • Chainsaw Man Will Still Benefit from This Popularity Boost

Many people believe Chainsaw Man was the better anime release of the year when comparing it to other options. Currently, it has higher ratings. While Demon Slayer remains more popular overall, that’s likely because it attracts a wider range of viewers as a series. Chainsaw Man, on the other hand, is a smaller series that explores more mature themes and is aimed at an older demographic.

I think Chainsaw Man is going to become even more popular, and I expect a lot more people outside of the anime community will start recognizing it. I’ve heard that The Chainsaw Man movie is coming to places like the US later this month, specifically on October 29, 2025.

Currently, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 is playing in cinemas. If you can’t wait for the film to become available elsewhere, you can read the story in the manga on Manga Plus. As for the anime, there are currently 4 full seasons available to stream on Crunchyroll. The rest of the story will be adapted into films, so fans will need to see them in theaters when they are released in their respective countries.
