Demon Slayer: Infinity Train Arc
Possibly the most anticipated anime in the list would be the Demon Slayer movie, which will follow the events right after the last episode of season 1. The teaser showed that Rengoku, the Flame Pillar, will be one of the major characters in the film, and while manga readers are freaking out about the events that will happen in the train arc, we must be patient, because no spoilers shall be uttered in this article. After the first season, the manga sold a record breaking of 800,000 volumes sold, beating One Piece! It has continued to be one of the most popular titles even now and with the upcoming movie, manga sales are bound to increase even further. No official dates have been announced regarding the premiere of the movie, but it is expected to be released sometime in July or August.
