Some of the impeccably rendered fight scenes and dramatic beats rival or even eclipse the anime’s most notable moments, like the Inception-esque rotating climax of the Tsuzumi Mansion Arc, or the breathtaking finale of the first season’s phenomenal 19th episode, “Hinokami.” The dynamic CG-animated set pieces which characterized several of the most visually remarkable sequences in the first season return in Mugen Train.

With most of the main creatives on the television series returning for the film, the break between the art style and visual composition of the film and the anime series isn’t dramatic.

Curious newcomers to the series will be left adrift, given the absence of exposition around the characters or who they’re fighting and why. Usually, anime franchise films allow for more loose experimentation in terms of animation and characterization.įor the most part, Mugen Train benefits from its role as a canonical footnote in the series’ larger arc, with one exception. My Hero Academia, Naruto, Dragon Ball, etc.) boast one or more feature-length movies, which tend to be fun, non-canonical side stories, unconcerned with the arc of the series’ main characters and more focused on “what-if” scenarios. This itself is novel: Most popular anime franchises (e.g. More than simply a continuation of the series’ broad plot, the film is based directly on an arc of Koyoharu Gotouge’s original manga, and is intended as a canonical bridge between the events of season 1 and 2.
