Say Goodbye To Demon Slayer And Welcome An Even Better Movie

by

This post contains spoilers for Demon Slayer.

Currently, *Demon Slayer* is likely the most popular anime series globally. The release of the *Infinity Castle* movie significantly boosted its popularity, making it the biggest anime hit of 2025.

The movie *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* broke box office records, showing that high-quality anime films can be even more successful than big-budget live-action movies. You can now watch it in most countries, and it will be available to stream or download digitally in 2026. With so many fans having already seen it, anticipation for future releases is incredibly high.

A New Gintama Movie Is Releasing In 2026

New Gintama Movie Will Adapt The Yoshiwara In Flames Arc

While the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie is fantastic, another anime film is expected to be even better. Reports indicate that Gintama: Yoshiwara In Flames is getting a remake with updated animation, scheduled for release on February 13, 2026. If you’re new to Gintama, now’s the time to start watching so you’re ready for the new movie when it comes out.

Dedicated fans of Gintama were thrilled to hear about the upcoming arc, as the Yoshiwara in Flames storyline is widely considered a highlight of the series. It masterfully combines exciting action, clever humor, and heartfelt drama, and importantly, it offers a satisfying resolution. In contrast, the Infinity Castle arc felt incomplete, being only the first part of a larger story with several unresolved plot points. While it’s not fair to fault the movie entirely, its unfinished nature is hard to overlook.

The original ‘Yoshiwara in Flames’ arc was already great, so the remake has the potential to be even better. While the upcoming ‘Gintama’ movie is likely to be a higher quality production, it probably won’t be as successful in theaters. However, box office numbers aren’t always a reliable measure of a show’s quality. The ‘Chainsaw Man’ Reze Arc is a good example of this – the MAPPA-produced movie had fantastic animation and a compelling story, even if it didn’t achieve massive commercial success.

As a huge anime fan, I was really excited about Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc – it felt like a more complete story than the Infinity Castle movie. But honestly, it didn’t perform as well financially, bringing in under $60 million. It’s a shame, because I think Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames might face the same issue. And it’s so important to remember that box office numbers don’t always reflect how *good* something is! Let’s not jump to conclusions about quality just because of revenue, okay?

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 2 Release Date

Next Infinity Castle Movie Will Be Released In 2027

With the first Demon Slayer movie now out, fans will be waiting a while for the next one. The first movie took over two years to make, and the studio, ufotable, was working on both it and the TV series at the same time. Because of this, the next movie probably won’t be released until 2027. Until then, fans can re-watch the series or check out other anime.

With so many great anime series being released regularly, it’s easy to find shows similar to Demon Slayer. Here are some popular titles from this year that fans have enjoyed:

  • To Be Hero X
  • Lord of Mysteries
  • Solo Leveling Season 2
  • My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
  • Takopi’s Original Sin
  • The Apothecary Diaries Season 2
  • One Piece

Most of these anime series have compelling stories that will keep you engaged for a long time. If you’re looking for a really long show, One Piece is a perfect choice – it’s been running since 1999 and has over 1000 episodes! You’ll have plenty to watch, with new episodes released weekly. And if you’d rather stick with something familiar, you can continue the story of Demon Slayer by reading the manga after the first movie.
