New game announcements should be commencing over the week, so here’s to getting hyped over the various announcements that will be coming out. The “playable content” part of the Summer Game Fest 2020 is curious: does this mean they’ll be releasing demos of games attendees would normally be playing at their booths? Granted, all this speculation would be pretty fruitless and we can only wait to see how it’s done.
With the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, events have had to move digitally if they want to hold one at all with all the restrictions in place. This won’t be the only event coming up; The Steam Game Festival Summer Edition will be on 9 to 14 June, during the dates where E3 would have been.

Death’s Gambit: Afterlife Switch Review – Dying is Only Half the Fun

Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania Death’s Gambit: Afterlife finally released digitally and physically on Nintendo Switch – here’s our review.

When Death’s Gambit originally launched on Steam and PS4, it had a lot of issues like clunky controls and delayed inputs, which was a huge problem considering its difficulty. Thankfully, Afterlife fixes all of that, and Switch players could experience the game without its initial issues and problems.

Story
While I’ll be making many references to Dark Souls in this Switch review of Death’s Gambit: Afterlife, one way the game managed to separate itself from its inspiration is through its protagonist. Players assume the role of a named, non-silent protagonist called Sorun, who dies at the start of the game but strikes a deal with Death and has to do his bidding.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The game definitely feels a lot more story-heavy compared to Dark Souls, since we have a protagonist with his own backstory for once. The game still uses a lot of storytelling elements from its inspiration like mysterious NPCs who deliver exposition and lore-filled item descriptions. The biggest difference is that Sorun is an active participant in many of the game’s cutscenes. He’ll respond to NPCs and even we, the player, will read through multiple flashbacks of his past and such.
While the game’s story is somewhat of a generic dark fantasy story, I do find it very refreshing with how it’s presented. For example, when I was killed by the first boss and respawned, the boss was shocked to see me coming back for round 2, believing that I was genuinely dead. It’s moments like this that make the story really engaging and makes it stand out from Metroidvanias with silent protagonists like Hollow Knight and Dead Cells.

Gameplay
As an action platformer, Death’s Gambit: Afterlife effortlessly delivers smooth and reactive gameplay. I find the gameplay to be a slower, more strategic version of Dead Cells. Whereas I was rolling and dodging a lot more in Dead Cells, I found myself blocking and parrying more in Death’s Gambit: Afterlife. Interestingly enough, Death’s Gambit: Afterlife is one of the easier Metroidvanias that I’ve played, but do note that it’s still reasonably challenging.
Rather than losing all your Essence (Souls) when you die, you lose a Phoenix Plume (Estus Flask). Dying multiple times in various locations will not erase the previously lost Phoenix Plumes—you can just touch the places you died to retrieve them. Overall, the gameplay is a lot more forgiving than say, Dark Souls. Unlike that game, I never swore or banged my desk in frustration after losing a lot of progress when I died.

The gameplay is basically a 2D version of Dark Souls. The Essence you earned is used to upgrade your stats and to wield certain equipment effectively, you will need sufficient stats like Strength or Finesse. There are many different kinds of weapons in the game, including magic.
Further adding depth to the gameplay are the classes. At the start of the game, you get to pick 1 of 7 classes, each with their different playstyles and skill trees. Fortunately, regardless of what class you pick, you can still wield any kind of weapon in the game, it’s just that the skills for certain classes will favour certain weapons more than others.
Overall, Death’s Gambit: Afterlife delivers a good balance of Soulslike and Metroidvania fun. While there is no fast travel, exploration isn’t too much of a hassle as the map updates whenever you visit a new area. There’s also the usual dopamine rush of unlocking new abilities and being able to explore previously inaccessible locations thanks to them.

Visuals and Audio
Just like Dead Cells and Blasphemous before it, Death’s Gambit: Afterlife uses a 2D pixel art style. Animations are smooth and precise. However, do note that some enemies are designed to blend in with background as an ambush of sorts, so you have to keep your eyes peeled. The game’s environments are pretty varied and unique amongst the different areas, which is great.
The biggest gripe I had when playing the game for this review was the size of the text. When playing the game handheld on the Switch, some of the text, especially at the bottom of the screen is extremely hard to see due to how tiny it is. The worst offender is the main menu. Just see for yourself how tiny the text looks when choosing your save file:

As for the game’s audio, the music is nice and well composed. Death’s Gambit: Afterlife does have a rather warm atmosphere thanks to its music, compared to the bleakness of Blasphemous or Dark Souls. As a result, the game isn’t as dark, but this is purely preference and I feel that it does give a more approachable vibe to the game overall.

Physical Edition
Thanks to our friends at Epicsoft Asia, we received the physical Switch version of Death’s Gambit: Afterlife for this review! The physical version of the game comes with:

Death’s Gambit: Afterlife Nintendo Switch Game
Manual – Artbook
Soundtrack CD
Soundtrack QR Code

Closing Thoughts
Besides the difficult to read text, Death’s Gambit: Afterlife is a game without much flaws but is brimming with great design and gameplay choices. While it is a great game, as someone who’s played a lot of phenomenal Metroidvania titles like Hollow Knight, Ender Lilies and Celeste, I can’t help but feel that Death’s Gambit: Afterlife is missing something that could elevate it to that level.
Regardless, the story is good and the gameplay is enjoyable. If you’re looking for another great Metroidvania to fill your time with, look no further than Death’s Gambit: Afterlife.
You can check the game out on the eShop. For the physical version, you can visit the game’s page on Epicsoft Asia.

Pros
Cons

Strategic combat that isn’t too punishing

Chris Pratt is Mario and Jack Black is Bowser in the Super Mario Bros Movie Cast

Shigeru Miyamoto strolled onto the Nintendo Direct Today and casually announced the cast of Illumination Entertainment’s upcoming Super Mario Movie.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

And here’s the Super Mario Movie cast:

Mario – Chris Pratt
Luigi – Charlie Day
Princess Peach – Anya Taylor-Joy
Bowser – Jack Black
Toad – Keegan-Michael Key
Donkey Kong – Seth Rogan
Kamek – Michael Richardson
Cranky Kong – Fred Armisen
Foreman Spike – Sebastian Maniscalco

It’s also been reported that Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi in the video games will be in the project in the form of cameo roles. I didn’t expect that they would cast him as the Mario Bros so I think it’s nice that they acknowledge his contribution to the franchise in some way.

It does make you wonder though, will Chris Pratt and Charlie Day voice Mario and Luigi with Italian accents? They probably won’t but that would certainly make or break the film.
It’s certainly quite the all-star cast all things considered. Mario’s creator Shigeru Miyamoto will be co-producing the movie alongside Illumination Studio founder Chris Meledandri who said this to Variety shortly after the Direct:
Mario and Luigi are two of the most beloved heroes in all of popular culture, and we are honored to have the unique opportunity to work so closely with Shigeru Miyamoto and the widely imaginative team at Nintendo to bring these characters to life in an animated movie, unlike any film Illumination has made to date
The movie is being directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic. The two had previously collaborated on the animated series Teen Titans Go! and the film Teen Titans Go! To the Movies. The script is from Matthew Fogel, who previously wrote The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.
The Super Mario Movie will be in cinemas in 2022.
Speaking of Mario, there’s a local Lego Mario contest running in Malaysia, if you dare to enter!

Fate/Grand Order has joined forces of many famous creators and artists, including Takashi Takeuchi and Kinoko Nasu of TYPE-MOON as illustrator and writer. Lots of internationally famous voice actors feature the Japanese voice over as well. Other than the main scenario, the game story features tons of character scenarios.
Players are unable to transfer their Japanese accounts to the English version of the game. If you are playing the game in Japanese version now, too bad for you. However, seasonal events will mostly be held together in both versions.

Lurking in the shadows, Hollywood superstar Nemesis – Resident Evil 3 Remake review

Bad Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf spoof aside, Resident Evil 3‘s remake does start cranking that tension up high from the get go. Enjoy that brief moment of peace after Jill’s nightmare. Nemesis is always coming, and he will always be there.

Starting off on the Jill foot

Related Posts

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

As with the Resident Evil 2 remake, this game plays in the third person perspective. If you’re wondering, the game is available in English, Chinese and Japanese languages, with subtitles in Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. You can choose from three difficulty options: Easy, Standard and Hardcore, something I would say is handy for first-timers to the franchise.
On Easy, there will be automatic aiming, as well as automatic recovery of a percentage of health. If you want to heal to full, you will still need to use consumables. As you might expect, the enemies will be weak, in part due to you also starting off with an assault rifle. You’d also craft more ammunition, while in combat, there is a certain level of assisted aiming. Naturally, on Hardcore, you’d have stronger enemies, less crafted ammunition, and less ammo in general.

Now, the story, mostly for the benefit of those unfamiliar with the title. Jill Valentine is a former S.T.A.R.S. – “Special Tactics and Rescue Service”, a special task force under the Raccoon City Police Department – officer, finding herself trapped in Raccoon City. She’ll have to contend with the messy aftermath left behind by your beloved Umbrella Corp, in the process encountering a variety of colourful characters, including Carlos Olivera as one of her allies, and of course, Nemesis as the unstoppable wall.

Carlos and Jill will be your dynamic duo in this game, treading the story of the original while also filling in the backstory of the supporting cast, giving them deeper motivations that you gradually find out.
Nemesis surprise
A tl;dr might amount to: some puzzles, sprinkled with jumpscares, and Nemesis is always there. I’m mostly kidding. The game will ease you into the controls, starting off with chump zombies and minimal tension. You’ll be encountering the few puzzle locks here and there, as people from the original game series can attest to. The usual zombie attacks are pretty easy to avoid, with nifty sidestepping. To take them out, aim for the noggin for an easier time and save on those bullets. You can get access to more heavy duty weapons for zombie obliteration, but they’re few and far between.

Nemesis will be your best pal, stalking you throughout the game. As with the original game, the burly guy will always be on Jill’s, and the player’s six. You can also still weaken him enough to take him out, temporarily, but he’ll be back like a certain Terminator. He’ll grab a Snickers, then he’ll be right on his way to chasing you/Jill once more. You can damage him further with environmental hazards like gas tanks, which would be really recommended because using a lot of ammo on this big guy could put you in a pinch for the next stretch!
P.S.: He will be using weapons too, so stay on your toes…
Just keep limping…
The directional arrows are your shortcut keys to switch weapons. Your inventory is represented by grid boxes, as with Resident Evil 2‘s remake. These slots will eventually get expanded, but Jill won’t have bottomless pockets, unfortunately. There are some certain handy colour-coding, where red on the map represents that there’s still something to be done there, and it’ll turn blue once you’ve cleared it. Minimizing time spent in backtracking is certainly helpful!

If you do get caught by the zombies, you’ll have to button mash to break out, which also takes away some HP, so be careful. You could find supplies – either ammo or herbs – within boxes, which will glow yellow if you can break them with your knife.

Parts to mod weapons are available in the game, so keep an eye out! There’ll be plenty of save points scattered around the game, but those accompanied with black boxes are the places where you can store items to pick up for later.
Taking the train out
The remake has freshened up the original title, adding in a variety of things to keep it exciting. The game looks great as we’d come to expect after the quality of 2‘s remake. Nevertheless, the story isn’t that long as with the original, so if you were looking for more meat, you might be disappointed, but the story has been kept tight, rather than be padded out unnecessarily.
The overall experience is still very satisfying, and worth the asking price, especially if you’re interested in Resistance, the asymmetrical 4 on 1 game that’s packaged together with RE3. If you haven’t played the original, then look forward to getting this title!

Pros
Cons

Graphics are fantastic
Story still short

More involved mechanics for immersion
Initial scares aside, Nemesis isn’t a big challenge

FINAL SCORE
8 / 10

Here’s the summary of the movie, as provided by Netflix:
Based on the ‘Dream Arc’ of the original hit manga series, the two-part movie is about the Sailor Guardians’ growth, both as teenage girls and as Sailor Guardians, as well as the faint first love of Chibi-Usa and Helios. As the new moon obscures the sun and gradually dims its light, Usagi and Chibi-Usa encounter a mysterious Pegasus named Helios, who is in search of the chosen Maiden who can break the seal of the Golden Crystal. Meanwhile, a mysterious troupe called the Dead Moon Circus appears in town, hatching a nefarious plan to scatter the nightmare incarnations known as Lemures, seize the Legendary Silver Crystal, rule over the moon and the earth, and eventually dominate the entire universe.

Primaniacs launches line of Genshin Impact perfume [UPDATE]

Primaniacs has announced their line-up of Genshin Impact perfume / fragrances, with pre-orders now available through the online store. Primaniacs is known for creating these themed scents for other franchises, so it’s no surprise that they’re trying their hand for Genshin characters.

This set of Genshin perfume includes:

Each bottle is 30ml, and will set you back at 6600 yen each, inclusive of tax. The retailer’s Ginza branch will be having a pre-sale period from 26 November 2021, with all other branches to stock them from 2 December 2021 onwards. You can check out the the choices of scents and the descriptions through their website here, naturally tailored to invoke the “feel” of the character. The bottles and packaging are likewise adorned with the associated character’s illustrations. It doesn’t appear that they have exclusive art – outside of the packaging themselves – for these products at this time.

Unfortunately for international fans, Primaniacs does not appear to ship outside of Japan, so you would have to utilize a proxy service. If the line-up proves successful, more characters are likely to get their turn. In fact, they may even branch out to matching shampoo and conditioner sets – Granblue Fantasy, for example – so hold on to your Mora!
UPDATE 17 JANUARY 2022, 17:06PM

The line has been updated to include Zhongli, Tartaglia, Ganyu, Keqing and Xiao, with reservations available. Much like the first set, these use their Japanese names, the difference more obvious with the Liyue characters. Pre-sales will be available at their Ginza outlet 18 March 2022, and their other branches 24 March.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0.5 manga reseller sparks outrage due to connections with cinema

Jujutsu Kaisen 0.5 is a special manga booklet from series creator Gege Akutami that was released to promote the launch of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. As such, it is a rather rare find and can only be obtained through certain means, such as a gift that comes with purchasing tickets for the movie or via resellers.

Source: TGV Cinemas
In the case of TGV Cinemas in Malaysia, the cinema chain made the announcement that the manga booklet can be obtained for free for those who purchase 2 Jujutsu Kaisen 0 tickets in selected cinemas, while stocks last. TGV also added that the booklets are given to cinemagoers through a “first come first serve basis”.

As TGV made the announcement on March 16, it comes as little surprise that Jujutsu Kaisen 0.5 has run out of stocks as early as March 18 for certain outlets. As such, fans have resorted to other means to obtain the collectible, such as purchasing it from resellers.

However, outrage ensued when the reseller claimed that they are a staff member working at the cinema chain. The fan posted their conversation online, drawing ire from Jujutsu Kaisen fans towards TGV Cinemas. Furthermore, the reseller also opened pre-orders for the booklet, further adding fuel to the fire as fans are speculating that the staff member is “keeping” stock of the free gift to resell at a higher price.

Would’ya explain this to me @TGVCinemas 😭 this is too much i need to share for all malaysian citizens who seek those booklets for free redeem when they bought 2 tickets ! Where’s your empathy?

Soulstice, A Game That Looks An Awful Lot Like Berserk, Announced

Modus games have announced Soulstice, a gothic-fantasy Hack n Slash that looks to draw a lot of inspiration from the late Kentaro Miura’s Berserk. It releases in 2022 for Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC.

The game has you playing as Briar and Lute, a Chimera seeking to reclaim the city of Ilden. We don’t know much about the world of the game, but we can assume the Chimera title has something to do with them being two beings- one a spirit and the other a knight, bound together.

Here’s the official description for Briar and Lute:
Briar and Lute are two sisters who have been reborn as a Chimera. The transformation has granted Briar superhuman strength and resilience, while Lute, who was sacrificed in order to bind her soul to her sister’s, has become a ghost with mystical powers. Voiced by Stefanie Joosten (Metal Gear Solid 5), Briar and Lute are sent on a mission to reclaim a city in ruins that has been ravaged by the Wraiths, only to discover that the Order they belong to has a far more complex plan in mind.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Combat has you controlling the two, using a variety of powerful melee moves as Briar swings around her weapon, and Lute attacks with otherworldly magic. Briar’s weapons can be swapped out as the game goes on, and you’ll even be able to swap between weapons mid combo to perform stylish combos a la Devil May Cry.
You’ll fight a variety of bosses too, taking on all manner of horrifying forms from large knights to arrow-firing beasts, which you’ll have to use your mastery of Briar and Lute’s skills to overcome.

It’s kind of an open secret that the game draws inspiration from Berserk, with Briar’s design looking incredibly similar to the Berserker armor worn by Guts. Similarly, Briar’s missing eye and singular armored arm also appear to be an homage to the iconic knight.
Considering other games like Miyazaki’s Souls mega-series drawing inspiration from Berserk, it’s no surprise- and many internet comments have voiced their support for the game specifically for its special aesthetic serving as a spiritual Berserk Game.

Gundam Gunpla Scanner Will Support Custom Builds, Koji Fujiwara Says

Chief Gundam Officer Koji Fujiwara has revealed more details about the upcoming Gunpla scanner app, such as its support for custom builds.

As part of today’s Gundam Conference, he reassured those concerned that the Gunpla Scanner would only work with straight-built kits.

“We will let fans scan the customized gunpla. That part of the tech is already developed to a certain extent”, he says. “We also want to include other parameters, which is something we are researching right now. I think our fans will enjoy displaying their custom Gunpla in the metaverse”.
He also updated us on another vital piece of information: they plan to have scanners in custom cabinets, similar to the trial one had at a prior event.

“We are planning to set up specialized cabinets. We haven’t decided where. The details will follow. But that should provide high quality scanning for our users”.
It should be noted that they’ve also repeatedly shown that it would also work with smartphones, though it stands to reason the booths might give better quality scanes.
The Gunpla scanner is a huge building block of the Gundam Metaverse Project, allowing builders to show off 3d models based on their custom work.
They also announced today that they would be opening tests for the Gunpla colony, though it’s unsure if it will launch with the scanning feature considering the short timeframe.
Last year’s Gundam Conference also saw the announcement of the additional “colonies”, branches representing the other popular modes of the Gundam IP, such as a gaming colony based on Gundam Evolution.

Bayonetta 3 is Finally Here and Has Everything We Want

Bayonetta 3 has finally been given its time in the spotlight! With a new trailer and actual gameplay, it looks better than could have thought. Developed by Platinum Games and published by Nintendo, it’s scheduled to release on the Switch in 2022

The trailer at first fooled us into thinking this was an Astal Chain sequel but in reality, Bayonetta seems to be heading to Japan. The hack and slash goodness of the series is back in full force and Bayonetta’s new design is gorgeous. The end of the trailer also hints at a new character. Is Bayonetta getting her own Virgil equivalent? interesting.

Pokemon Just Made An Official TikTok

Yup Pokemon has an official TikTok account. It was put up on TikTok Japan and so far is only available in Japanese. They don’t have any videos but as of writing this they currently have 7830 followers and 5830 likes. They have no follows though since Pikachu bows to no one.

They’ll probably start trickling out videos soon. It’s likely no coincidence that this was announced the same day that a Pokemon Nintendo Direct for the upcoming games, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Pokemon Legends Arceus was also announced. The Nintendo Direct will be on the 18th of August.

Black Surge Night hits 30,000 pre-registrations

Black Surge Night from Bilibili has hit 30,000 pre-registrations, with rewards up to 200,000 pre-registrations. Black Surge Night takes place in a universe where a disaster has covered much of the land in water. In the struggle to adapt to the change, “dolls” with intelligence and equipped with armaments were created to obtain resources. Conflicts are fought with the use of these Dolls, naturally. Somehow, a mutation occurs in these Dolls, and they are then dismantled, but those who have escaped such a fate now seek revenge. You will need to take command and fight back against the Dolls.

Gameplay wise, it looks very reminiscent to Azur Lane, featuring real time action gameplay, with skills for you to tap to unleash on your enemies. At a glance, it doesn’t look like there’ll be as much focus on movement, but we can probably wait on a gameplay trailer to be really sure. The game is set for release sometime in 2021.

Rathalos Armor X appears in Rockman X DiVE collab with Monster Hunter Rise

In a collaboration with Monster Hunter Rise, Rockman X DiVE will have a new character based on Monster Hunter‘s flagship monster, Rathalos. The new character, Rathalos Armor X, appears to be a Great Sword main as seen in this intro trailer:

The design of Rathalos Armor X is heavily inspired by the Rathalos Armor set present in many of the Monster Hunter titles. Inheriting the armor set’s red-black color, Rathalos Armor X wields a fiery red sword in one hand and an arm cannon in the other.

Rathalos Armor X comes with two skills. The first skill is True Charged Slash. This skill lets Rathalos Armor X slash forward in two waves, with the second wave having twice the attack power of the first wave.
The new character’s second skill is Rathalos Fire Breath. Unlike the actual Rathalos who shoots fireballs from the mouth, Rathalos Armor X performs the attack through the arm cannon. Activating this skill a second time will result in a flame slash that travels forward, ignoring the terrain.

Thanks to these two skills, Rathalos Armor X is suited for both close and long-ranged combat. Use True Charged Slash when enemies are nearby and Rathalos Fire Breath to fight from afar.

Demon Slayer Mugen Train Movie Spoiler-free Review — Derailing Expectations

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train finally released in Malaysia exclusively for GSC, and I decided to watch and review it.

As Japan’s best-selling film of all time, it is undeniable that there is a level of expectation to be had before watching it. Did it live up to its glory, or is Mugen Train just another hype train? This spoiler-free review will help you determine if the film is worth your time.

Related Posts

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Plot
Mugen Train is a canon film that takes place directly after season 1 of Demon Slayer concluded. As a result, you have to watch the Demon Slayer anime or at least read the manga to have an understanding of Mugen Train‘s plot. If you have not watched Demon Slayer, you can do so on Netflix.
Initially, when I heard that the Mugen Train arc will be condensed into a single movie, I was worried. However, the film’s plot and pacing were impeccable. The story flowed very organically and does not feel rushed at all.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Structurally, the film’s narrative stretches across three clear and distinct acts. The first act eases audiences into the film, setting up Kyojuro Rengoku’s backstory. It also sheds a bit of light on Tanjiro’s relationship with his family which is really heartwarming. In addition, Zenitsu and Inosuke also provided welcome moments of comic relief which helped to balance the growing emotional tension within the first act. Overall, the first act is a well-paced vehicle that focuses more on setting up important plot points that will drive the action in the second and third acts.
In the second act, Enmu, Lower Rank 1 of the Twelve Kizuki takes centre stage. The entirety of the second and third acts is mostly just action and fight scenes. However, the fights never feel too drawn out and are well-edited so that audiences can breathe in between hectic fights.
My complaint with the plot is its third act. This is where we meet Akaza who engages Rengoku for the film’s climactic fight. However, the movie never really does explain where or why Akaza appeared. He just shows up unannounced out of nowhere, without any introduction or set up. While this will probably be explained in Demon Slayer season 2 or beyond, as it stands, Akaza’s appearance is really a “what the hell?” moment that is not well executed.
Other than that, the film’s story is tightly written, interlaced with great fight scenes, comedic moments and emotional buildup that pays off really well in the end.

Animation
As I ponder on what to include in my review, the animation featured in the Demon Slayer movie is a no-brainer. Without a doubt, this is the film’s strongest point. Once again, Ufotable lived up to its moniker “unlimited budget works” with just how immaculate the animation is throughout the film.
Special effects are simply stunning—the water animations whenever Tanjiro executes a move are fluid and magnetic to the viewers’ eyes. Likewise, while Zenitsu does not share as much screen time in fights, the animation for his lightning is quick, but projects immense weight and power.
However, the star of the animation is undoubtedly Rengoku. Ufotable handled the Flame Pillar’s attacks phenomenally. The licking of flames when they appear and how smoothly they disappear is a visual fiesta every single time Rengoku brandishes his sword. The reds and yellows of the flames stand out marvellously in the brown background of the train and in the dark of the night.
Furthermore, the 3D elements of camerawork and special effects are virtually indistinguishable from the 2D animation. In parts of the fights, the silky-smooth movements of the characters over a 3D-plane really help to add scale and fluidity to fights. Aesthetically, the animation of Mugen Train has definitely some of the best animation in anime to date.

Sound
There is a notable improvement in terms of sound when compared to the anime. The cinema’s surround sound system really immersed me into the visual experience on screen more than the anime did. For example, the crisp audio of Zenitsu zapping from one end of the screen to another as he performs his attack is breathtaking. Many of the other sound effects of slashing and burning made wonderful use of surround sound.
Sound effects aside, music is another incredible facet of the viewing experience. While LiSA’s performance of Homura is the film’s most well-known track, many of the other tracks did a marvellous job. In particular, the metallic riff of the electric guitar during Akaza’s theme helped give the demon an incredibly foreboding presence. There was also a beautifully haunting piano tune that played when Tanjiro was alone. This is my personal favourite track of the movie, despite how short it was.
The voice acting in the film was also incredible. As a movie with a lot of emotional segments, Tanjiro’s voice actor, Natsuki Hanae, really brought out the desperation and emotion. However, the standout voice to me was Daisuke Hirakawa, the voice behind Enmu. Hirakawa absolutely nailed the performance, giving off an incredibly creepy and at times, goosebump-inducing vibe as Enmu.

Expectations and Cliches
Time for the review to address the elephant in the room, or in this case, in the Demon Slayer movie. As a shounen anime, Demon Slayer uses many of the tropes apparent in the genre. For example, a spectator of a fight going “they’re moving too fast for me to keep up!” Thus, the film, despite its brilliance in setting up plot points for huge emotional payoff, is by no means a literary masterpiece.
However, despite subscribing to shounen tropes, the movie does a splendid job of challenging the viewer’s expectations. In many of the fights, while I already anticipated a certain result to happen, I ended up pleasantly surprised by the movie taking a different direction. In several tense moments, I found myself stunned by the remarkable and commendable actions of some of the characters. While you might already be spoiled or can guess what happens in the film, the movie does a good job at keeping viewers on their toes, especially in subverting expectations during fights.

Closing
Demon Slayer is one of the hottest anime franchises of recent times. Thus, it is understandable that some people might steer away from the film simply because of hype. Personally, while I do feel that the hype can be a bit too much, the Demon Slayer movie is undoubtedly one of the best movies to watch in cinemas right now.
Honestly, is Mugen Train better than Spirited Away, the Studio Ghibli anime that it dethroned? I would disagree. The latter is a better written, more compelling and magical tale. However, as an action film and shounen anime movie, Demon Slayer has set the standard of what an anime movie should be like.
