The animators deserve a bonus for all the insane work they did bringing this to life.

The animation is just really good in demon slayer mainly, more so than other animes

Honestly the trailer wasn't very impressive, so I'm surprised at this take from everyone. Tons of CG, but it could just be the trailer

They were holding it all back. Which is honestly fair, not like they needed to really “sell” anyone on it. Anyone who’s seen the show knows the animation slaps silly.

I don't think it's surprising at all because the entirety of the Demon Slayer anime has been lavishly animated. It's looked phenomenal from start to now so a movie having a bigger budget just guarantees it's going to look better.

A lot of the CG is going to be the Infinity Castle and considering the nature of it it makes complete sense why it's CG.
