I want to set the score 100, not 10. The story, characters, visual, actions and moves, professional voice actors, sounds, Lisa's main song are so completely mixed at supreme level.
(By the way, the meaning of "Mugen Ressha-Hen" is "Infinite Train Arc". The name of the train in the film is "Mugen (Infinite)".)
I love movies, seeing it in theaters. Net-streaming is OK as a supplement, but I think it cannot be the mainstream of this industry, and I do hope this movie will be released in USA, Europe, China soon, pull the people back to their nearest theaters, save the industry.
I saw this movie on the 1st Saturday, the 1st show (8AM) in a theater near me. 400 seats were 100% full, the audience must wear a mask, drinking was allowed, but no eating (usually in Japan, no shouting, no chanting even without COVID19).
Just before the start, I felt "total concentration breathing" of the all audience in the theater, complete silence & 100% focus on the screen, that explained how we all were long waiting for this movie's release.
The movie itself is really great, so "breathtaking". This is the ultimate Anime of a popular Manga/comic series, and I want to give big big big applause to Ufotable who have created this masterpiece.
For those who have seen the anime series only (26 episodes), not known the full story of this film, you must go and see Rengoku-san's several "Flame-breathing" forms, which give you goose-bumps. His scenes are so super and great that make all people understand Hashira's power & strength.
For those who have seen the anime and read the manga series (known full story), you also must go and see how each panel of the manga moves (it really moves!!), and enjoy comparing the scene and the panel after watching the movie (like me). You can also feel the characters' feelings more vividly than the manga series.
In the end of the movie, you would be thankful and grateful for the mask, not only for anti-COVID19, but also for hiding your tears and runny noses. (this happened to me, I was so moved and emotional...) In the end, during the last song, the theater was filled with many sobbings.
---- Spoilers ---- I try to minimize my spoilers here.
Before the last battle, I felt that the all audience again did into "total concentration" one level deeper, and I guessed that most of them must have already read the manga series.
The last battle was so so great, I have never seen such a great battle in my life that I cannot describe it with my poor English vocabulary. I can only say that it surpassed the episode 19's battle in Demon slayer anime series, and Ufotable has realized/materialized the manga 100% or more with visual, sounds, voices, backgrounds, etc.
I also praise the power of Japanese professional voice actors/actress. They express the characters' feelings completely and you will be easily captured by their voice-performance. I really feel great and am proud that Japan has such great voice actors. I recommend all people in the world to see this movie with Japanese original voices with your own language subtitles, so you can listen/hear/feel their great performance.
Ufotable/Aniplex did very good job to make it secret about the last battle. It was not revealed until the opening day. They also even hid the voice actor's name of the key character in the last battle. When I heard the voice in the theater, I felt like and shouted in my mind, "Wow, it's him! Yes!" Some of them in the theater must have been same like me. The voice was 100% fit and so convincing that I was like persuaded to become a de....
Anyway, please enjoy (with tears)! I am looking forward to seeing/reading your reactions/reviews about this film from all over the world.
