Hold your swords, it’s official. Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle has claimed the title of Malaysia’s #1 anime movie, marking a significant milestone for the beloved franchise and its enthusiastic fanbase.
To celebrate this achievement, fans in Kuala Lumpur are treated to a spectacular digital takeover at TS Law Tower, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Since the evening of August 18, the tower’s giant screens have been lighting up the skyline with breathtaking visuals from Demon Slayer, offering a dazzling tribute to the film’s success and its impact on Malaysian audiences.
Since its release, Infinity Castle has captivated audiences with its stunning animation, gripping storytelling, and unforgettable battles. Its record-breaking box office performance not only highlights the growing popularity of anime in Malaysia but also strengthens Demon Slayer’s status as a cultural phenomenon in the region. With the ongoing celebration, it’s clear that Demon Slayer continues to resonate deeply with fans and newcomers alike.
As the movie continues to enjoy its well-deserved success, the wait for the remaining sequels only feels longer. With fans eager to see where the story goes next, the anticipation is definitely going to test their patience. Each sequel is reportedly taking around two years to develop, which means the true conclusion of the series isn’t expected until 2029. That’s a long stretch to hold onto the excitement, but it also shows the creators are taking their time to get it right.
In fact, it’s becoming clear that animated projects are taking longer and longer to complete these days. A good example is the Across the Spider-Verse sequel, which faced multiple delays and a lengthy development process. With the increasing complexity and ambition of these films, the extended wait times are becoming the new norm rather than the exception.
At the end of the day, good things are worth waiting for—especially if they end up being good, or even great. While the wait might feel long, the hope is that the extra time spent will pay off with sequels that both Demon Slayer and your friendly neighborhood you-know-who deserve.
