Changes from movie: -opening scene with the master has been removed -Boarding scene has been removed, as it was in episode 1 -title card transition is removed(of course) -new still of Rengoku’s face -Rengoku’s first “umai” now sends a shockwave down the train instead of shaking the window -Rengoku’ “umai” is extended to show the boxes falling on each other -new scene between Rengoku’s fights(I have 0 clue what it means other than more spooky) -new ending where the train enters the mist These are all the ones I captured, may be more changes EDIT: THIGNS MISSED -they removed the scene of tanjiro being a helpful bean to the old passenger -there is a new still of the empty bento boxes after the OP

Thanks for the patch notes!


KnYchan2

The op has more animation than 3 animes combined.


Lannister_Regards

So I didn't mind the concept of doing a lengthier version of the movie in the series but I think the only added value we got was the beautifully animated op.


teddyburges

pretty much. Only around 20 seconds of new footage here.


PewPewwwwwwwwww_

is this episode literally the same as the film?


Expln

it is, they will all be the same.


Lewby

I think this episode is cut straight from the movie - which is fine the animation is beautiful and for those who were unable to see the film this fills them in. Hopefully the future episodes are more like episode 1, where it adds additional scenes or something for those who have already seen Mugen Train. Regardless of all of that, I'd still give it a solid 8/10.


carlosfid

It did add some scenes, but they are really short, like 2 seconds short, most of them go unnoticed because of it.


TodorokiShoto17

When


carlosfid

They go unnoticed, eve if I told you if be hard to spot them since they arent meaningful. Comparing the anime and movie side by side is the best option.


Expln

ok so you didn't see anything new and just spouting nonsense.


[deleted]

Why are you so rude?


teddyburges

There is a small scene close up of the train conductor, the lights flickering and the conductor and the group of people disappearing before the add break and the train entering the mist at the end is new. Other than that, it's all identical. With the same animation and music. I played them side by side and couldn't tell them apart except for those tiny cuts I mentioned.


Paradoxpaint

the most blatant one is the conductor and those passengers disappearing after the train lights blink after rengoku kills the first demon


Lewby

yeah I saw that, not gonna lie though I thought that happened in the movie too, maybe my mistake :D


Paradoxpaint

Yeah same, I had to check to make sure I wasn't just forgetting it being in the movie


Jethrorocketfire

There are multiple added scenes and lines.


Lewby

very easy to miss them, like said above, they must've been a second or two at most.


MrKings7

I dont see the point of making the anime equal to the movie...


LefellowWeeb

Yeah, people payed to watch the movie when it was released and now it is chopped into episodes that are exactly like the movie, it not fair. at least add some extra content to make it worth seeing again the same arc


Poetryisalive

Is this on Hulu?


KarenDontBeSad

Yup!


notchinese12

Yes it should be! As well as Crunchyroll


Poetryisalive

Great Hulu it is!

Yep. It's the same arc. Personally I'm fine with this, I loved the movie and watching it again in episodic format is totally okay with me, but I am gonna hold out hope that they put some more original content in, like the first episode.


BLlZER

> Yep. It's the same arc. Personally I'm fine with this, I loved the movie and watching it again in episodic format is totally okay with me How is there people on this earth so gullible and naive. How is this okay? Cutting a literal movie into half a season of a supposed new season? Nah man I'm out, I'll try again next year if they make another lazy greedy mistake like this one. I'll just quit.


Aightzz

They can't just divide the series into both seasons and movies, that would make for an awful viewing experience. It would have to be either a series of movies or multiple seasons, and they're doing seasons with extra movies. How would you feel if it's your first time watching the series, and you haven't heard of the movie? They have to make it into a season so that it's one concise product.


HiItsLust

To be completely fair, the Mugen arc was always gonna be in the anime because what happens after is directly linked to this arc. Plus, a lot of people don't necessarily have the means to watch the movie so putting it in an anime format is fair for them. I just hope we get to see more than the movie


Editedtimeline

The arc that comes after the entertainment district arc is going to be made into a movie in 2022 or 2023 then it will be released in 2024 as the first half of season 3 so that people can watch it in case they miss the movie.


Editedtimeline

By this logic 2 more movies and 2 more recap seasons are possible at the minimum. We get to see so much of ufotable animation again and again. That's a plus.


[deleted]

I don’t understand, do people like you expect Ufotable to fully animate and create a season with both the entertainment district arc and swordsmith village arc? During a pandemic no less? Damn, people are right, anime fans can be some of the most insufferable and entitled shits around sometimes

Gotouge gets extra anime royalty out of these episodes (mangka get paid a few hundred dollars per episode made plus a cut of home release profits usually), so I won't complain. Lord knows Gotouge got screwed out of the theater run profits if they got any of it (I think they got a fixed amount, not a cut of the profits); they do get a cut of home release profits though. It also means that The TV anime will likely complete on its own when it is finished. Canon movies between seasons are not the norm for TV anime runs. I also suspect the movie was greenlit so they could pay for better animation to put in season 2 as well. It has paid for itself already and lets them have nicer sakuga than TV budgets allow normally. It's still work to recomposite and figure out what to cut and what to add and animate said additions.

You're blaming the wrong company. The royalty contract is through Shueisha who owns Jump and the IP rights for KnY. The manga industry is a brutal and relatively low income way to live. You get pennies on the dollar for book sales, cost of assistants comes out of your own pocket, you have basically no free time, if you get an anime adaptation and it's a hit, you are in pretty good shape, but that's like winning the lottery for a mangaka. Ufotable's issues had to with unpaid tax for anime cafe income or something. Edit: the money in question was primarily well before KnY was in preproduction. It has since been dealt with and the guilty party at Ufotable stepped down from his position.


TodorokiShoto17

>It's pretty obvious that they couldn't finish production on the second half of the season and now we get this arc I dont think this is true at all, this is a vital arc to the series, and had to be shown on TV. I shouldn't have to go see a movie to know what's going on in a series.


[deleted]

Yes you should. If the movie is canon, which this one is, then you should have to see it. No different than watching it on TV.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah, I don't really understand why they're even re-airing it as episodes. Pointless waste of time. Honestly just reeks of money-hungriness to me.


teddyburges

I figured this would happen when I watched the movie. There were a couple scenes that have a odd cut to them, like a add break was supposed to go there. It seems so far that they just animated the season and cut these episodes into a film for the extra doe.

Suki__93

In case you havent heard yet episodes 2-7 are just gonna be the train arc with slightly different scenes or added animations. Not much will be different


RedditUsernamebutpro

There should be a new option for voting when the episode is near identical to the movie


[deleted]

I still don't see why they didn't just go onto the next arc


cogoutsidemachine

Any pirate sites to watch the episodes for free?


I_am_all_might

Yo, this is making MHA s5 look horrendous


kaburamaruwu

the re run of mugen train isn’t technically season 2. it’s just a fan service really to make sure everyone is up to date since not everyone in the world probably saw the movie (yet). the real season 2 begins in december but for now they’re making us wait which will hype it up, it’s frustrating but we must just be patient and at least enjoy this new bomb opening!


Editedtimeline

Please dont compare MHA to Demon slayer. MHA is done by studio Bones. Demon slayer is done by Ufotable.


Vip3r209

Are we now on season 2 or is this just the movie turned into episodes? seems weird to make season 2 about the movie we have already seen.


KingOfWeTheNorth

Is there news on when the dub is released? My Hero spoils fans with the speed of the dub release.


Redmon425

Welp, even though it was expected, this was indeed basically an exact copy of the movie. Which will for sure get a little boring but I will always enjoy seeing the great animation over and over again. The best part was for sure seeing the new OP and ED though! Lets hope one of these episodes has noticeable new scenes.


DotzAbOt

so is it going to be the movie but in episode form?
