‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’: Crunchyroll Bosses Want Oscar Voters to Consider the ‘Beautiful Art Form’ of Anime

Crunchyroll's anime powerhouse, "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle", has catapulted to new heights, breaking box office records and captivating fans worldwide. As its makers now set their sights on the prestigious Oscar voters, it's clear that this film is more than just a thrilling anime adventure – it's a beautiful art form.

The story follows Tanjiro Kamado and the Demon Slayer Corps as they battle Muzan Kibutsuji and his minions within the formidable walls of Infinity Castle. The Crunchyroll team has woven a masterful narrative, tapping into the deep connection with fans and newcomers alike. By leveraging its authentic voice, marketing strategy, and partnerships, the company has created an immersive experience that draws viewers into the world of anime.

At the heart of this success lies the score, production design, and craftsmanship – dazzling elements that warrant serious consideration from Oscar voters. The film's visual effects, sound design, and storytelling all contribute to a cinematic masterpiece that showcases the art form in its finest light.

As Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini notes, "Anime is one of those ways of telling a story." By elevating this medium to the forefront of award season, the company hopes to not only satisfy anime enthusiasts but also introduce new audiences to the world of animation. This is particularly evident in their efforts to incorporate Japanese voice actors and collaborate with artists like Lisa, further cementing the film's emotional resonance.

The decision to release "Demon Slayer" as a movie versus an additional season on the platform was deliberate, according to Ufotable's involvement. The goal was to showcase the story on its most grand scale, with the best visuals and sound. This cinematic experience is precisely what fans crave – an opportunity to connect with a piece of content in different ways.

With two anime films already taking home Oscars, Crunchyroll stands on the shoulders of giants like Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai. The company is committed to honoring this legacy while pushing the boundaries of animation as an art form. As EVP Mitchel Berger so eloquently puts it, "It's a beautiful piece of artwork... The craftsmanship, the care, and the love that goes into this, just to be able to expose people to that, is a wonderful thing."

As the Oscar voters approach, Crunchyroll's team remains hopeful and committed. By sharing their vision for anime as an art form, they aim to not only entertain but also educate – inspiring a new generation of artists, writers, and filmmakers. The film's success serves as a testament to this mission, demonstrating that "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" is more than just a beloved anime – it's a shining example of what animation can achieve when done with love, care, and craftsmanship.
 
idk why they're so hyped about this movie... it's just an anime film 🤷‍♂️ anyway, i guess the visuals are pretty on point and all that jazz 💥 but let's be real, it's not like it's some groundbreaking masterpiece or anything 🙄 the whole "anime is a beautiful art form" thing is just corporate speak 🤑 they're gonna win oscars for this because they have the money and influence, not necessarily because the film itself is actually good 😒
 
OMG, like, I'm not surprised Crunchyroll's got the Oscar buzz going on 🤯🎥 - "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" is def one of the most epic anime flicks in recent memory 💥. I mean, who wouldn't wanna watch Tanjiro and the crew take on Muzan Kibutsuji in a battle royale within that insane Infinity Castle? 🏰 It's like they say - "Anime is one way to tell a story" 😂... and Crunchyroll is definitely telling it in style with this movie! 💁‍♀️

The production design, score, and visuals are all on point 🔥, and I'm not surprised the Oscar voters are taking notice. It's like they say - "A beautiful piece of artwork" 🎨... and Crunchyroll's got some serious cred behind it (hello Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai vibes!). 💫

I do love how they're trying to introduce new audiences to anime through this film, though 🤝. It's like they say - "the best way to get someone to try something is to share your passion" 😊... and Crunchyroll's got that passion in spades! 🌟
 
lol, I gotta correct you 🤦‍♂️, "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" isn't actually breaking box office records... yet 🤑. It's still gonna be super popular tho! But for real, the whole anime thing is getting more mainstream recognition which is awesome 🎉. Crunchyroll's doing a great job of elevating the medium and pushing it into the Oscar spotlight 💥. The animation in this film is indeed stunning 🤩, but let's not forget the writers and composers who poured their hearts into the story and score 🙏. It's all about collaboration and recognizing talent 👫. And btw, have you seen "Spirited Away" or "Princess Mononoke"? Those are some real masterpieces by Hayao Miyazaki 🎬.
 
This film is fire 🔥 I mean, have you seen the visuals? The way the team has blended traditional Japanese art with modern animation techniques is insane 🤯. It's clear that they've poured their hearts into this project, and it shows. But what really gets me is how they're using anime to bring people together – from fans to newcomers, everyone can relate to the story on some level 🌟. And let's be real, the music is straight fire 🔥. I'm not surprised to see this getting Oscar buzz, tbh. It's a masterclass in storytelling and world-building. Can't wait to see how it plays out at the awards! 👏

I'm totally fascinated by Crunchyroll's move 🤔! I mean, they're really pushing the boundaries of what we consider "anime" and trying to bring it into the mainstream. It's dope that they're using anime as a way to tell stories and connect with people on a deeper level. The fact that they're incorporating Japanese voice actors and collaborating with artists like Lisa is fire 🔥! But, I gotta ask... how do you think this will affect the anime industry as a whole? Will it lead to more anime being made for Western audiences or will it stay mostly niche? 🤷‍♂️ Also, have we seen anything similar from other streaming platforms yet? Should Crunchyroll be worried about getting overshadowed by other contenders in the Oscar race? 💸
 
I'm loving how excited everyone's being about this anime movie 🤩. The fact that Crunchyroll is bringing anime to the Oscar stage for the first time since 2014 is pretty dope 💥. I mean, we all know Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai are legends in the animation world, so it's awesome they're being recognized. But, gotta wonder if this is a trendsetter or just an anomaly 🤔? Will other anime studios follow suit and push for more Oscar recognition? Only time will tell ⏰. One thing's for sure, "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" has got some serious skills - the animation, score, and storytelling are all top-notch 🔥. Can't wait to see how it does at the Oscars! 📚
 
I'm loving how Crunchyroll is giving anime its due respect 🙌. I mean, we all know anime has been around for ages, but this movie is the real deal - stunning visuals, emotional storytelling, and an immersive experience that draws you in 😍.

You know, I was watching some old Hayao Miyazaki films the other day and I couldn't help but think about how much better the special effects in "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" are 🤯. I mean, don't get me wrong, Miyazaki's works were always stunning, but this anime has some serious Oscar-caliber stuff going on 🎥. And it's not just the visuals – the music, the costumes, everything comes together to create an immersive experience that's hard to match. Reminds me of when I first discovered Studio Ghibli back in the 90s... those films were a game-changer for animation as an art form 💫. Now we're living in a world where anime is being recognized by mainstream audiences and critics alike, and it's amazing to see Crunchyroll pushing the boundaries like this 🎉. Fingers crossed they bring home another Oscar! 🤞

I think it's so cool that Crunchyroll is trying to bring anime to the Oscars, it shows they believe in its power as a form of storytelling 💕. The score is amazing too, it really adds to the emotional depth of the film 🎵. It's great to see fans and newbies alike getting hooked on this series - it's proof that animation can be just as impactful as live-action films 🤝. Can't wait to see if Demon Slayer wins some Oscars 🏆!
