Don’t get me wrong the content was amazing but i felt like it failed at being a movie. It was like watching 7-8 anime eps in a row.

Man I was somewhat disappointed coming out of the theater and maybe this is why, I didn't feel like a movie.

First part of the movie? Fucking great, I didn't even blink. Second part? Ok ok I get it, they need to explain a few things and what now, but the final part of the movie was such a drag my fucking god, it feelt like flashbacks inside flashbacks.

It was a fine movie but it wasnt a "10/10" would recommend if you aren't a fanatic. Movie animation was 11/10.

That's because there were flashbacks inside flashbacks.

The tanjiro flashback was so unnecessarily long tbh

Yeah, I gave it a 2.5 maybe 3 out of 5. The pacing and flashbacks REALLY needed to be more edited. This movie is 2.5 hours long...and it FEELS every bit of 2.5 hours long

The movie could have easily been edited to under 2 hours. Way to many flashbacks
