Demon Slayer Movie Fan Screening

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie-Mugen Train is finally here in Singapore after more than a year wait for it!!! 😍😍
I had been waiting for it since it’s sneak preview after the end of first season which ended in Oct last year. It was supposed to air somewhere in Jan this year but was postphoned due to covid. It was finally aired in Japan’s cinemas on 16th Oct 2020 and broken box office records in Japan as the first film to rake in over $10 billlions within 10 days of its opening! 

The first day of its screening in Singapore was on 7 Nov. Tickets were snapped up as soon as it was released online a few weeks ago and I did not manage to get GV max in vivo...πŸ˜“...the next earlier timeslot is at 3.25pm at Plaza Sing. The fan screening ticket was $54 each and it came with a goodie bag containing a tee shirt, A4 file holder, badges and posters.

There were 2 designs for the tee shirts and we can chose which one we want. Of course, Hubby chosed Tanjiro and mine was Nezuko....haha...the quality of the tee-shirt material was quite good and there were several sizes to choose from. This was a great improvement from the fan screening of Boku no hero academia where the only sizes of the tee shirts left were XL coz many ppl came and claimed their goodie bags way before the show started. Think Odex learnt their lesson and controlled the distribution coz now u can only collect the goodie bags 1 hr before ur movie screening. 

The large movie poster card-out at GV plaza sing. 
The crowd was significantly lesser for such a fan screening as compared to before, due to covid measures. Seats were well spaced apart with nobody sitting 2 seats next to, behind and in front of you. Actually, I quite like it coz I can put my bags on the seats next to me, and nobody will be kicking my seat from behind or blocking my view in front. Yeah....
Spoilers alert- Rengoku looks damn cool in his final stance before releasing his ultimate move. Although he eventually died, I did not feel sad or cry as I feel he died a v honorably death and did such a great job protecting 200 over lives in the train and kick the upper 3rd demon’s ass so badly he had to flee. However, I do feel it’s such a shame that he died...
The movie was action packed from beginning to the end with no recap in the beginning. There was an additional scene not from the manga where the leader of the demon slayer Corps was walking thru the cemetery. Other than that, it followed v closely to the manga. Can wait for season 2 to start next year!
