Last Updated:
Toho Cinemas will launch a special 'movie etiquette' video in collaboration with anime studio Ufotable.
Demon Slayer- Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Infinity Castle is one of the most anticipated Japanese anime films this year. 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. Tengen Uzui and his three wives-cum-kunoichi (female ninjas) — Makio, Suma and Hinatsuru are set to arrive on the big screens for a special pre-screening short film.
According to Crunchyroll, Toho Cinemas will launch a special 'movie etiquette" video in collaboration with anime studio Ufotable. These short animated segments, featuring Sound Hashira and his trio of kunoichi wives, will run in select Japanese theatres from June 20 to July 17. It will wrap up just a day before Demon Slayer- Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle's silver screen release.
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."
