Netflix Streams Smash-Hit Anime Series, Demon Slayer, in the US!

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba was released in 2019, but after its latest movie shattered records worldwide, the anime has become the talk of the town. The massive success of the movie has caught everyone by surprise.

Sales of the anime and manga volumes have sky-rocketed, and the series has become one among the highest-earning ones. Rich with the antics of Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke, the anime gives us moments of adrenaline rush like no other.

The official Twitter account of Demon Slayer has just announced that the first season of the anime series is now streaming on Netflix in the United States!

Although the anime was already streaming on Crunchyroll, Funimation, HULU, and other websites, its entrance into Netflix is also a great step up for the franchise.

It is evident that even mainstream websites like Netflix are lining up to stream the series due to its rising popularity.

For those who don’t live in the United States, Demon Slayer is not yet available on Netflix. However, you can still access it on other sites like AnimeLab or Anime Limited.

Aniplex of America licenses the Mugen Train movie and it is scheduled to release in North American theatres in early 2021. It will be released in both English subbed and dubbed formats.

Ever since the movie has been released, it has broken records in Japan and countries like Singapore, Taiwan, and Indonesia. I, for my part, cannot wait to watch the movie and experience the incredible action sequences.

With 26 episodes to its name, the anime series covers one-fourth of the entire manga. For anime binge-watchers like myself, it is just a matter of a day or two.

However, don’t come complaining when you finish it too soon and can’t wait for the next season!

About Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotoge. Its publication in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump began in February 2016 with 19 collected tankōbon volumes released as of present.

In a world filled with demons and demon slayers, Kimetsu no Yaiba follows the lives of two siblings Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado, after— the murder of their family at the hands of a demon. Their hardship does not end there, as Nezuko’s life is spared only for her to live as a demon.

As the oldest sibling, Tanjiro vows to protect and cure his sister. The story traces the bond of this brother-sister or, better yet, demon slayer and demon combo against the odds of an arch antagonist and the society.
