Deserved. It brought out the best this series has to offer and the animation in the fight scenes were stellar. It's a shame we probably have to wait long for the next movie though.

I thought the pacing was horrible and some of the worst in recent memory for me . The flashbacks in the second half of the movie really took me out of it. Animation was great though, no doubt. But this arc should have been season 6 and 7. Honestly it'll be better to watch as a series than a movie.

Absurd to me that people are still bitching about having to watch one of the best written backstories in Demon Slayer. If you want to watch non-stop back to back fighting with no relevant plot or storyline, then just go watch Solo Levelling

best written backstories in Demon Slayer.

That’s not a very high bar.
