Oscar snub for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle has left anime fans across the globe disappointed, with many fuming over selection of Disney’s Elio instead of the Japanese blockbuster. “Demon Slayer deserves better…it was peak,” a fan shared. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle broke multiple box-office records, including the highest-grossing anime film of all time. KPop Demon Hunters won Best Animated Feature at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, beating Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. Its hit track Golden also picked up the Best Song award at the ceremony.
