One of the main reasons why Demon Slayer became such a big phenomenon among anime and manga fans was the series’ ability to impact the emotional chords of the viewers. While the animations, the characters, and the storyline are great, the main element that helped the series achieve success was its heartfelt moment.
Demon Slayer Mugen Train
Since the first episode was released in 2019, the series has been an emotional rollercoaster ride. Many fans believe that the most emotional part of the entire series was from the Mugen Train arc, which was developed into a movie called Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba—The Movie: Mugen Train. The movie was such a big success that it was the highest-grossing film of 2020.
In an interview, the voice actor of Tanjiro, Natsuki Hanae revealed his first reaction after watching the final animation of the movie and what he thought of the first Demon Slayer movie as a whole.
