Demonic Killer: Kimetsu no yaiba The 6th anniversary was celebrated at the orchestra concert held this year at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles Animation Expo. I admit I’m the furthest thing in the hardcore Demon killer Fans, but I’m an avid fan of music and my interest caught people’s interest when I found myself lucky enough to report another concert.
The band that afternoon was on stage was a moderate band, equipped with the usual instruments: various violins and violas, double bass, flutes and some backup singers were all good. But, the second look, I noticed one of the members waving the guitar and the other waving the entire drum kit. because certainly. After all, this is anime, and if you’re going to bring some symphonic talent to the conference, you might as well add some guitar solos and thrill drums to add some kicks. Indeed, Japanese music and Western classical traditional style collide with the juvenile (but certainly not subtle) hard rock. It may not be anything new, but it is still fascinating on its own.
What makes it more attractive is the iconic moments from Demon killer As the music plays, it is projected onto the screen in the background. It gives the whole show AMV-y’s feeling, the audience cheered when their favorite scenes appeared.
Works like “Nightmare” play with the tragic scenes of the first episode, and Tangiero discovers his family is murdered by a demon. The arrangement of large projections of the scenes is heard in the catalyst of the show, which makes it a more elegy tone that you can’t get by TV show alone.
The next article is “Destroy Evil,” is the opposite of the previous voice, showing Tanjiro’s struggle with the guy who is trying to kill the now demonized Nezuko. It was thrilled with a dramatic action and I especially like how the guitar blends seamlessly towards the climax. It gave this neoclassical metallic seasoning, almost like I was listening to a Japanese night instrument.
But my favorite moment was when the band played “Against the Twelve Kizukis”, each part felt so synchronized with each other that it had vocals, drums and strings, all of which made up the most triumphant ending.
Tangiero’s Voice actor, , , , , Natsuki Hanaewill also take the stage on stage and recite some dialogues in the scenes and music. At these moments, the audience is eating it completely. I’ve gone Demon killer Last year’s panel also has its own features Natsuki Hanaeand every answer to the interviewer’s question, and every little conversation filled with cheers and screams, the same as teenagers seeing the Beatles Get off the plane. This year hasn’t been much different, as his performance ends with the same deafening enthusiasm.
Zenitsu’s Voice actor, , , , , Hiro Shimonoin the track “Zentitsu Agusoto”, he also lasted for a moment, playing some comic relief lines in English. Natsuki continues to read his lines in Japanese, but everything is still synchronized and there is no word in the translation. The surprising cameo is a pair of decorative and launch versions of Tanjiro and Nezuko, who step onto the stage to wave to the audience.
After the performance, the promotional reel was displayed Demon killer It is displayed on screen, and the trailer for the upcoming movie will be released on September 12, 2025.
