About Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
The Demon Slayer franchise has had remarkable success since its creation in 2016 by Mangaka Koyoharu Gotouge. Over 150 million copies of the Demon Slayer manga have sold worldwide. Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is the highest-grossing Japanese film in the world, beating the 19-year-long record holder Spirited Away.
Demon Slayer follows Tanjiro Kamado, a teenage boy in the Taisho Period. One night, nearly his whole family is attacked and killed by a demon. His sister, Nezuko, who survived, has turned into a demon herself. Now seeking a way to turn her back into a human, Tanjiro joins the “Demon Slayer Corps,” a secret organization of enemy combatants and swordsmen who hunt and kill demons in the dead of night. He trains alongside other demon slayers in order to find a cure for Nezuko, as well as kill the demon who slaughtered his family.
Demon Slayer is available to watch on multiple platforms, including Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, and Amazon Prime Video.
