There is going to be a special outdoor event in Tokyo on July 11, 2025, just before the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc movie hit theaters on July 18. It’s a big pre-release celebration. They say 13 voice actors gonna be there, and they will take part in one special prayer ceremony to wish good luck and success for the movie all over the world.

What’s interesting is, they’re not doing it inside a theater. It’s outside, under the open sky. That’s not something you usually see with anime events. And you can’t just buy a ticket either. They doing it with lottery system, so only lucky ones gets to go. That part feels like they wanna include everyone, even if not all can come. It’s definitely not your usual red carpet-type thing.
There was a report back in 2023 (from Japan Box Office numbers) that said these kinds of events, where fans engage more closely, actually make movie earn 15% more at the box office. So yeah, probably more smart marketing move than just feel-good vibes.
And not only the regular cast. Megumi Hayashibara, she also gonna be there. She is a really big name, voicing anime from way back—like over 350 roles or something. So older fans who know her from old shows might also get interested. Maybe that their way of mixing up old fans with new fans.
So it’s not just about showing few new scenes or building hype. It is more like creating whole vibe around the movie by bringing in talents already known and loved. Could maybe be studios trying to bring old legends into fresh series again.
This is not just some random promo thing. It feels like Demon Slayer setting up for something much bigger. With this outdoor show, the cast being there, and everything—it’s all looking like big push for the last arc. The movie came out July 18, but this July 11 thing might be the real kickoff.
Fans are gonna talk about it online when it happen, for sure. And this kinda shows how anime marketing is changing now—less quiet, more loud and open for.
