Demon Slayer Demon Train Arc Film Announced

Demon Slayer has yet to be officially confirmed for a second season following the very recent ending of its first, but the adventures of Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Yoshitsune will continue in the upcoming animated film from Ufotable that follows the “Infinite Train Arc” from the manga. The story of Demon Slayer has managed to find a big audience of anime lovers thanks in part to its tragic, yet compelling, story as well as some breathtaking animation to make for one heck of a ride. While not a lot of details have been released about the upcoming film, it’s nice to know that the world of Demon Slayer is set to continue.

The Official Demon Slayer Twitter Account shared the first details from this upcoming theatrical release, sharing the first teaser and animated image which promises to to set up a tough new battle for the protagonists of the series to face off against:

Tanjiro’s quest to save his sister Nezuko who was transformed into a demon herself has made for quite the entertaining journey, with a lot of the demons that they’ve encountered proving to be amazingly original. When his sister was transformed, Tanjiro lost his entire family and went down the path of attempting to join the Demon Slayer Corps, undergoing some serious training to become that which demons would fear across the Japanese countryside.

While a release date has not yet been given for the upcoming theatrical release which continues the Demon Slayer story, we’ll be sure to keep you posted on any new that drops with relation to the story of Tanjiro and his demon slaying comrades.
