For long-time viewers and newcomers alike, this is a rare chance to enjoy the full anime experience without subscription costs, building excitement for the saga’s climactic movie arc.

Complete Series and Films Available Free for Limited Time

Crunchyroll has confirmed that it will host a special livestream of the complete Demon Slayer anime series via its official YouTube channel. Starting on 16 August at 10 a.m. PT, fans can tune in to watch the series from Season 1, Episode 1, alongside feature films such as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.

The event is designed to bring together existing fans eager to relive key moments and first-time viewers curious about the global anime phenomenon.

The Global Impact of Demon Slayer’s Animation

Adapted from Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga and animated by studio Ufotable, Demon Slayer has captivated audiences worldwide with its stunning visual style and emotionally charged storytelling. Many critics and industry figures credit its immense popularity to its cinematic animation quality.

Industry veteran and former Dragon Ball editor Kazuhiko Torishima once remarked, “Demon Slayer only got so popular because the anime was amazing. The manga itself wasn’t all that great. It’s like the manga was just raw coffee beans, and the anime roasted and brewed them into something truly special.” Known for his outspoken nature, Torishima’s comment reflects a broader industry recognition that the series raised the bar for television animation.

The influence of Demon Slayer has inspired other studios to elevate their productions, as seen with Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and the rapid rise of Solo Leveling as a new hit anime.

Infinity Castle Film to Premiere in U.S. Theatres

The buzz surrounding the series is set to grow even stronger with the upcoming North American release of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – Infinity Castle. Opening nationwide on 12 September 2025, the film marks the first chapter in a planned three-part finale that will conclude the anime adaptation of Gotouge’s story.

The English-language voice cast will feature Hollywood actor Channing Tatum, best known for his role as Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), alongside Asian-American star Rebecca Wang, known for her performances in Solo Leveling and Yaiba: Samurai Legend. The casting choices highlight the global reach and mainstream appeal of the franchise.

A Landmark Conclusion to the Saga

Infinity Castle represents a pivotal moment for Demon Slayer, signalling the start of the anime’s endgame. The manga concluded in May 2020 after 205 chapters, later compiled into 23 volumes available in both print and digital formats. The film will adapt some of the most dramatic and high-stakes moments from the source material, bringing Tanjiro Kamado’s journey closer to its conclusion.

With its mix of emotional storytelling, intense action, and visually spectacular sequences, Demon Slayer has become one of the defining anime of its era. The upcoming trilogy will not only serve as the narrative’s climax but also as a milestone in modern anime cinema.

This free global streaming event offers audiences an ideal opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Demon Slayer ahead of the theatrical release. Whether revisiting favourite arcs or discovering the series for the first time, fans will have a front-row seat to the artistry and emotional depth that have made the franchise a cultural phenomenon.
