It’s been a full year since Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinite Castle was released in theaters in Japan, and 10 months after its Record-breaking US theatrical release. That’s a long time for it to not have been available digitally compared to the recent trend of movies appearing on streaming almost immediately after their theatrical release. But there’s finally good news on the horizon: the movie will finally be available to stream on Crunchyroll later this month.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinite Castle It is the first film in a trilogy that will conclude the history of the anime. The anime, in turn, is based on the manga of the same name by Koyoharu Gotouge. The story follows Tanjiro, a teenager who vows to fight the demons that massacred his family and turned his sister into a demon. Once he joins the Demon Slayer Corps, he sets out to cut down every demon that crosses his path.
Infinity Castle takes Tanjiro to the heart of the demon stronghold, pitting him against the toughest enemies he has ever faced. The action and animation, as is typical of the series, are completely out of control, and even when the film drags a little over its two and a half hour running time, it is still a visual delight. Even Zenitsu isn’t as irritating as usual. It is a true feat.
The second film in the trilogy is currently in production with no release date set, although fans are hoping it will arrive sometime in 2027. In the meantime, you can stream Infinity Castle starting July 28 at 8:00 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET. It will also be available to purchase digitally that day, with digital pre-orders beginning on July 4. Now, if we can get more Inosuke in the next movie, we’ll really be cooking.
