You are thrown into battle and for the next 2.5 hours you will be a witness to what is arguably the flashiest and most-cutting edge action shounen of the modern era. Your backdoor anime hangout had the opportunity to see Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle; the first part of a trilogy. Our talk consists of:

  • A discussion on animation (2D and 3D hybrid style)

  • Glazing studio ufotable, Director Haruki Sotozaki, and Mangaka Koyoharu Gotouge

  • How the show host, once a hater, became a fan

  • The problem with flashbacks

  • SPOILER TALK on 28:24 (talking about plot and critiques)
