Malaysia will get two Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train fan screenings in January 2021. The first will be on January 9, while the second will be on January 10.

Tickets for the fan screenings will cost RM150 each. Fans will get a Tanjiro T-Shirt, five Can Badge, an A4 Folder, and two A2 Posters with each purchase. Advance ticket sales will begin on December 31 at 3PM.

The fan screening locations include GSC Alamanda Putrajaya, GSC Gurney Plaza, GSC Aman Central, GSC Ipoh Parade, GSC East Coast Mall, and GSC AEON Bandaraya Melaka. GSC outlets like GSC Mid Valley and GSC Paradigm Johor Bahru are noticeably absent from the announcement, due to Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru being under the conditional movement control order (CMCO). General screenings will be announced at a later date. 

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train released in Japan in October. It became the highest-grossing movie in the country in late December with a total gross of 32,478,895,850 Japanese yen (roughly $314 million USD), surpassing Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away. 

Aniplex of America describes the first season as: 

It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself. Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.

Melvyn originally wanted to write about video games, and he did so for a few years, starting from his college days. He still writes about video games sometimes, but now focuses on anime-related news content and the occasional review. Some of his free time is spent self-learning Japanese, both out of interest in the language and because English-translated light novels and manga are expensive. Every anime season, Melvyn looks forward to discovering new standout episodes and OP/ED animation sequences, as well as learning about the storyboard artists and directors behind them.
