The second half is actually the most exciting part. The death of Yanzhu is really shocking.

The performance of Ghost Slayer in the United States has attracted worldwide attention. In all fairness, the first half of the film didn't feel good, and the battle of Yanzhu was extremely exciting. I chased the manga first, but I always felt that Yanzhu was designed to die, and I just wanted to complain when I read it. At the end of the movie, when Tanjirou scolded Shangyue as being mean, he suddenly felt a move in his heart. He felt the depression that had accumulated in his heart over the past few years, and it was also aroused at once! After listening to him roar, I felt that Yanzhu's death was so shocking.

In retrospect, the film actually summarizes the inner world of several main characters, which is quite interesting. Yanzhu's appearance is not like a human being. In the comics, he is just a character who appeared before. He really has no feelings. When reading the comics, when he is dead, he will say "Ow", and he will die when he is dead. Bar! Sunshine is not like people, and it is enough to have a male protagonist trio. After all, it is impossible to kill Xiaoqiang in the comics.

The key is whether Yanzhu's death is worth it or not. It seems that he protected everyone. In the end, he just wanted to do his best to kill the winding string, and the enemy's third child was always talking about it, trying his best to win him over. I didn't understand it at first, but then I figured it out. Lao San's understanding of Yanzhu should have exceeded the general understanding. He knows that Yanzhu is suppressing something, and he understands how tiring it is to always be a role model, carrying light and ideals, and a person who works hard to maintain integrity and strength. People, once they fall into the darkness, will definitely become a myth without any accident.

I have to say that this kind of plot design is really old-fashioned, and the author seems to know it, so he didn't explain why Shang Xian San was so ecstatic about Yan Zhu, just look at Yan Zhu's repeated and firm performance. If you haven't been in contact with comics, it's a bit baffling to read. There are obviously a lot of words, but the villain explained it in a few words. Of course, if you watch it more than twice, how can you understand it? The enemy is not only able to fight, but also distracted. He clearly analyzes the psychology of the good guy, and he has done a lot of homework. To be honest, I am a little moved by this! Where can I find such a good unit? Leaders know who you are, what you can do, and carefully assess your potential. Making this a cannibalistic company's problem doesn't seem so important.

It is worth noting that the filmmaker is also very interesting in calling himself the best animation in the world in 2020. After all, it is more powerful than it, and it will definitely be "Evangelion: The Final Chapter". Accurate positioning, coupled with catching up with retaliatory consumption, it is normal for "Blade of Ghosts: Infinite Train" to be a hit at the box office. It's a pity that this movie is one step behind the masterpiece. If the first half could be simpler, if there were more foreshadowing, and the connection would be more friendly to ordinary non-comic audiences, it would be perfect!

    Is Japan's aesthetic already so bad? Is it because the inner scenes are crowded into one theatrical version, so it feels a lot more awkward than the tv version? Many places are inexplicable. In addition to the visual effects, the fighting has neither wits nor details. And the last forcible sensationalism, just relying on the image created by the revolving lantern for Yanzhu in those few minutes? That's why Tanjirou finally screamed that Yanzhu won, sublimating the battle. Are there any other advantages besides special effects?
