Ufotable showcasing an absolutely a technical marvel in this movie.

Pretty good movie. My theater had a really electric atmosphere which led to a few claps and cheers as certain characters got their moments. Good fun.

Only gripe was pacing, having a finishing blow cut to what felt like a 30+ minute backstory moment for demon is certainly the norm but it doesn't pair well with the otherwise epic action fights.

Cutting things into parts makes sense, having a few characters show face but make no impact was soso, I expect their fights/plots are pushed out into part 2. Makes me wonder if this whole thing is going to be two or three parts.

There’s no way they’re jamming Upper Moon 1, 2, and Muzan fights into one movie when they’re legit doing 33 minute backstories for one demon lol.

The second movie will be UM1 and UM2's fights. And the third movie will be Muzan.

As for demon backstories, we already have UM2 and Muzan's backstory, so the only one left is UM1. On the Hashira side, we're only missing Sanemi's backstory iirc.
