Tanjiro Kamado and the Demon Slayer Corps’ hunt for demons will resume as the highly-anticipated “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” film is set to hit Philippine cinemas.
“Kimetsu no Yaiba The Movie: Mugen Train” (also called “Kimetsu no Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Train”) is set to pick up directly from where the first season left off in 2019 as it acts as the sequel.
The local counterpart of ODEX, a Singapore-based company that licenses and distributes anime across Southeast Asia, announced last Saturday, May 9 that the film will be shown in the Philippines.
The company did not disclose the exact release date of the film but noted that it is “coming soon.”
The trailer for “Kimetsu no Yaiba The Movie: Mugen Train” has also been released last April on the anime’s official Facebook page.
“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” tells the story of Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy whose family got slaughtered by a demon and whose sister got turned into a demon. He joins the Demon Slayer Corps in a bid to kill the demon responsible for his family’s massacre and restore her sister back into a human.
Tanjiro, his sister Nezuko and co-Demon Slayers Inosuke and Zenitsu will be joining Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku aboard the Infinity Train in the film. JB
