Of the many classic anime franchises set to release new seasons in this spring anime season, perhaps none are as highly anticipated as Demon Slayer’s third season. Set to place Tanjiro and his young comrades on a course to the Swordsmith Village Arc, the highest followers of the demon lord Muzan are finally preparing to enter the fray. Luckily, fans in North America and the world over will have the opportunity to stream the series on Crunchyroll with the streaming service unveiling a release date for the Ufotable series next month.
The first episode of Demon Slayer Season 3 has already aired thanks to the recent theatrical release, Demon Slayer: To The Swordsmith Village. The Demon Slayer anime has helped the manga sell many copies, to the point where Koyoharo Gotoge’s shonen series has often outpaced One Piece in the sales department. While the story of the manga ended years ago, the anime is still playing catch-up as anime fans continue to debate how many additional television seasons and/or movies the franchise will spawn to continue following Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
