This post contains spoilers for Demon Slayer.
Demon Slayer is arguably the most famous anime series in the world at the moment. The release of the Infinity Castle movie helped it leapfrog other anime series and solidify itself as the biggest hit of 2025.
It shattered longstanding box office records, proving that a well-made anime movie can outperform even major live-action releases. Currently, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie is available to watch in almost every region, and it will be released digitally in 2026. Now that almost every fan has watched the movie, their expectations are sky-high.
Demon Slayer: Will The Movies Be Fully Faithful to the Manga?
The first movie in the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle trilogy will be released in a few months. But how accurate will they be compared to the manga?
A New Gintama Movie Is Releasing In 2026
New Gintama Movie Will Adapt The Yoshiwara In Flames Arc
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie is exceptional, but it's not the best anime-related project overall. In fact, a better movie is releasing in 2026. According to reports, Gintama: Yoshiwara In Flames is being remade, and it will be released with new animation. The movie is set to be released on February 13, 2026. Fans who haven't watched Gintama should immediately start watching if they want to catch the movie when it premieres.
Long-time Gintama fans were delighted by the news, as they know that the Yoshiwara in Flames arc is arguably one of the best arcs in the entire series. It has the perfect blend of action, humor, and drama. Additionally, it has a proper conclusion. On the other hand, Infinity Castle was just the first installment and had many loose ends. Of course, it would be unfair to pin the blame on the movie, but one can't ignore it either.
The regular version of the Yoshiwara in Flames arc is fantastic, so the remake can only be better. Unfortunately, even though Gintama's movie will be better in terms of quality, it won't perform on the same level at the box office. However, the lack of high numbers is not a definitive indicator of a series' quality. A good example is the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc. MAPPA had produced the movie, and it had high-quality animation. Furthermore, the story was excellent.
Despite being more complete than the Infinity Castle movie, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc fell short in terms of revenue. It made less than $60 million, which, when compared to the Infinity Castle, does not look like a great number. Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames will have the same problem. It's worth reiterating that the revenue is not an indicator of quality, so fans shouldn't be quick to dismiss it.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Movie 2 Release Date
Next Infinity Castle Movie Will Be Released In 2027
Since the first movie has already been released, Demon Slayer fans will have to wait for a long time for the next project. According to reports, the first movie was in production for more than two years. It was also confirmed that ufotable was working on the movie and the television series simultaneously. Considering all the details, the subsequent movie will not be released for at least another two years. So, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie 2 will likely premiere in 2027. Till then, fans have to wait patiently and either re-watch the old content or switch to another anime series.
Finding Demon Slayer replacements is an easy task, especially in the present era, where every new season brings a ton of amazing anime. This year alone, fans got to witness the following titles:
- To Be Hero X
- Lord of Mysteries
- Solo Leveling Season 2
- My Hero Academia: Vigilantes
- Takopi's Original Sin
- The Apothecary Diaries Season 2
- One Piece
Almost all the aforementioned anime have great stories, which is enough to keep fans hooked for weeks. Fans who want to watch something long-running needn't look any further than One Piece. The anime has been ongoing since 1999, and it has more than 1000 episodes. Not only will it keep viewers busy for months, but they will also get to see new episodes every week. If fans don't want to try any new anime, they can simply read the Demon Slayer manga to learn what happens after the first movie.
