Kamado Tanjiro, whose family is killed by a demon, joins the Demon Slayer Corps in order to restore his younger sister Nezuko to her human form after she has become a demon. Here is the beginning of the story.
“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba”‘s “Tanjiro Kamado,
Unwavering Resolve Arc” was the first episode shown in April 2019. A motion picture entitled “Mugen Train” was released in October of 2020, and two television series entitled “Mugen Train Arc” and “Entertainment District Arc” ran in the years 2021 and 2022, respectively. The “Swordsmith Village Arc” was made available on Crunchyroll in the year 2023, little than a year after the theatrical release of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Swordsmith Village.”
The “Hashira Training Arc” was made available to the public in the year 2024, not long after the theatrical release of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba -To Hashira Training.” The animation creation was handled by ufotable.
“To the Swordsmith Village,” “Mugen Train,” and “To the Hashira Training,” the three most recent films, have all been commercially successful and have garnered a lot of positive feedback from audiences.
“Mugen Train” has made more than $500 million to this day, making it the highest-grossing anime film of all time and the highest-grossing Japanese film at the box office around the world. It currently holds the position of being the second highest grossing anime film in the history of the box office in the United States.
Crunchyroll is currently offering “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” for streaming, and it is currently available for viewing.
In 2021, Sony completed the acquisition of Crunchyroll and then combined it with Funimation, the company’s own anime streaming platform. On the other hand, the firm made the decision to keep the Crunchyroll name and continue to develop it as a streaming and theatrical participant.
The firm is a joint venture between Sony Pictures Entertainment, which is situated in the United States, and Aniplex, which is a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. Crunchyroll LLC is a company that operates independently. At the end of the day, both are subsidiaries of the Sony Group, which has its headquarters in Tokyo.
In a separate development, Sony has recently revealed that it will be establishing an institution with the purpose of fostering the creative potential of anime directors.
