“Set your heart ablaze.”    Ahead of the premiere of the Swordsmith Village Arc on April 9th, we’re revisiting a series of reviews of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, ufotable’s extraordinary anime adaptation of Kyoharu Gotouge’s hit manga. This time, we’re talking all about the 2020 feature film sensation Mugen Train, which set historic box-office records in Japan and around the world – and is just an utterly stupendous film all around. Taking one of the shorter arcs of the manga and crafting it into a well-rounded, hard-hitting, tragic film adventure, Mugen Train features some of ufotable’s finest animation to date, boasts a killer score by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina, and turned Kyujuro Rengoku into a worldwide anime icon. This is just about as good as it gets.    Come back next Friday for our last Demon Slayer review before Season 3, with our thoughts on Season 2’s Entertainment District Arc! And be sure to continue listening to Japanimation Station Season 2 – ufotable/Moon Works – premiering every Tuesday night at 7pm CT on YouTube!    Time Chart: Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:14 Intro: 0:01:14 – 0:03:39  Eyecatch: 0:03:39 – 0:03:48  Mugen Train Review: 0:03:48 – 2:05:00 End Credits: 2:05:00 – 2:06:15    Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff   Subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWeeklyStuffPodcast   Visit our website and subscribe to Japanimation Station on all podcast platforms: http://japanimationstation.com/   Subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on all podcast platforms: http://www.weeklystuffpodcast.com   Follow The Weekly Stuff Wordcast newsletter for regular updates and extra content!  https://weeklystuff.substack.com   “Welcome to Japanimation Station!” Lyrics by Sean Chapman, Music by Thomas Lack, featuring Hatsune Miku. https://www.thomaslack.com
