Toho Cinemas will launch a special 'movie etiquette' video in collaboration with anime studio Ufotable.

The movie, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, is based on the Infinity Castle arc of Koyoharu Gotouge's Demon Slayer manga. It features the popular hero of the Demon Slayer franchise — Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui. Ahead of Demon Slayer- Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle's theatrical premiere in Japan on July 18, fans are in for a special treat.

The concept of 'movie etiquette" is specially curated for the audience looking forward to the film. It will enlighten them on how to maintain proper decorum and etiquette at theatres. Additionally, the short film will also delight fans with fresh content from the Demon Slayer universe, which kicked off in 2019 and has since grown into a global anime phenomenon. At present, only the teaser is available. The full video will only be viewed by movie-goers as a limited-time treat.
Back in March, the makers of the Demon Slayer universe attended a meeting in Japan where it was decided that Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle would premiere on July 18. The film is the first part of the trilogy. The release dates of the other two movies are yet to be announced.
Sharing the announcement on X, the makers wrote, 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Castle Chapter 1 to be released on Friday, July 18th. The decisive battle begins. The key visual has been released."

Lizzo weight loss reveal: The diet switch that changed everything
Image credits: X/@TrishCrave Lizzo, a popular American singer and rapper shocked the world in January 2025 when she revealed that she had been on a weight loss journey and had finally achieved her target weight. Ever since she began her journey in January 2024, she has managed to reduce her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 and lost 16% of her body fat. While the 37-year-old singer has been very public with her body transformation over the months, sharing her diet and exercise routine on social media, she has finally revealed facts on her weight loss journey in detail. The pop star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson was the guest in a recent episode of Trisha Paytas' "Just Trish" podcast, where she dished all the details. Did Lizzo take Ozempic? Image credits: X/@Najia_PR After denying the use of any kind of medication to lose weight, the singer finally admitted to trying Ozempic and other trending weight loss drugs to shed weight. "It's not easy," she said in a conversation about Ozempic on the podcast. She added that she had "tried everything" to lose weight but in the end, she ended up focusing on counting calories instead of taking a weekly jab. 'It's just the science for me, calories in versus calories out,' added the singer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo 'Ozempic works because you eat less food. That's it. It makes you feel full, so if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same s–t.' Lizzo's diet changes revealed Image credits: Instagram/Lizzobeeating When asked by Paytas about how she was able to control her food intake without a shot controlling the urges, the singer credited two things. She opened up that she had made changes to her workout and had stopped being vegan or eating plant-based food, after "like 10 years" 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice, and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full, but really I was consuming like 3,000 – 5,000 calories a day,' shared the singer. Now, Lizzo has switched to whole foods such as beef, chicken and fish to feel full instead of eating things that weren't actually filling. She shared how she added meat back into her diet during a trip to Japan, 'I heard the Japanese diet was the healthiest diet in the world,' she said. 'My body was so happy. My body was like, 'more, more please.' And I was like, 'ok, this is what my body likes.' However, she also added that she doesn't like telling people much about releasing weight as she doesn't want them to imitate it and find out that it doesn't work for them. "Everybody's body is different," said the popular rapper who has promoted body positivity throughout her career. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
