According to detailed reports, the film studio Ufotable began initial production phases in April 2022, followed by a recording session in June 2022. This indicates that Ufotable has been working on the project for nearly two years prior to the release of the episodes.
This situation is quite unusual, as even the most popular anime generally have to adhere to strict production schedules. Animation and creative processes often need to align with timeframes to ensure they are suitable for the screen.
The presence of a prolonged production timeline during this season has made Ufotable a significant player in the eyes of the audience. “Ufotable has once again demonstrated why they are at the forefront of the industry,” said a dedicated fan.
“Ufotable’s production schedules are consistently professional. Their commitment to their work is always exceptional,” added another admirer.
Notably, Demon Slayer has become a phenomenon from the start. Mugen Train currently holds the record for the highest-grossing movie in Japan to date, allowing Ufotable financial security to focus on their plans moving forward.
“It’s the right time to prepare for a grand finale, but the fact is that we can only speculate because we know for certain that Demon Slayer will continue to succeed, which gives us the green light for new seasons long before the previous one airs,” remarked a devoted fan.
Additionally, the production company confirmed that the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle arc will be adapted into three feature films. This news has led many to speculate about the production process for these three Infinity Castle films concluding the ongoing Demon Slayer saga. Some believe that Ufotable has already delved deeper into these films than we might think, which means we may not have to wait too long to see them.
