Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Release Date Announcement
Here’s the full visual:
Ahead of that, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train is getting a 4K re-release in Japan starting on May 9, and the rest of the series will also have special screenings starting from April 4 until the premiere of Infinity Castle.
The Demon Slayer anime continues to be directed by Haruo Sotozaki, with Akira Matsushima as character designer and chief animation director and Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina on music.
Crunchyroll streams all of the Demon Slayer anime thus far, including the new Hashira Training Arc, and describes it:
It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself.
Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.
