Welcome back to this double-length train ride of an episode, where we have brought some friends along for the ride to partake in a scenic route journey with several big stops along the way. In this second half, our good friend Megan joins us to have a lovely chat and discussion about a certain little film some of you may have heard of, DEMON SLAYER: MUGEN TRAIN. And we go in deep on this film, discussing the good and the bad and everything in between, because even blockbusters deserve due diligence.
Yes, there are spoilers for the whole discussion. The film is on FunimationNow, so it’s readily available for all of you to sit back and watch.
