If you’re wondering whether to tune in, consider this: the movie has garnered a solid 7.8/10 on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.2/10 on IMDb. These ratings reflect the movie’s striking animation and well-crafted action scenes, which the Demon Slayer series is known for. The film combines 2D and 3D animation techniques, creating a visually appealing experience.
How Is It Different from Hulu’s Version?
If you’ve watched Demon Slayer: Mugen Train on Hulu, you might be curious about what sets the Toonami premiere apart. Well, it’s quite different. Hulu offers “Train Arc” as seven episodes, but it’s essentially a modified version of the movie with some edits. The Hulu version doesn’t capture the full essence of the original cinematic experience.
On the other hand, Toonami is airing the unedited, unchanged movie, preserving the true impact of the story and animation. The first episode on Hulu is notably different, making the Toonami premiere the definitive choice for those looking for the authentic Demon Slayer Mugen Train experience. Toonami’s unique broadcast allows you to see Demon Slayer in its entirety, making it the best place to watch it.
