Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity CastleA Anime standout of 2025

The highest-grossing Japanese film of all time. Infinity Castle set records in Japan, then opened to a historic $70 million in the U.S. — the biggest opening ever for an international film. Now the highest-grossing anime film globally.

The first R-rated animated film series to cross $1 billion. Ufotable's animation remains a technical marvel, and the film adaptation of the manga's climactic arc delivers the spectacle fans wanted.

Verdict: A triumph for anime as a global theatrical category. If you've been following the series, essential viewing. If not, start at the beginning.
