Japan's Biggest Movie Ever Is Coming To The U.S. — Here's How To Stream It

It was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from February 15th, to May 18th, , with chapters in 23 volumes. Taking place during the Taisho Era , the series tells the story of Tanjiro Kamado, who lives with his mother and five siblings in a small hut in the mountains.

One day, he goes to sell charcoal in the nearby village. On his way back, a villager warns him of rumored demon-sightings and offers to shelter him for the night, so he can make his way back safely during the day. When Tanjiro returns, he finds his entire family slaughtered, and his younger sister Nezuko turned into a demon.

A demon slayer named Giyu Tomioka arrives and is about to finish her off, but to his surprise, Nezuko retains enough of her humanity to protect Tanjiro. Seeing this oddity and Tanjiro's promising fighting skills, Giyu decides to send them to his old mentor for training. So begins Tanjiro's life as a demon slayer, on a quest to cure his sister and find the one who murdered their family. An anime adaptation, produced by ufotable began airing April 6th, and can be viewed on Crunchyroll here.

An English dub began airing on Toonami on October 12, It went on to become the highest-grossing anime and Japanese film ever, records held by Spirited Away for two decades.

On September 25th, , Aniplex announced that the Mugen Train movie would be reworked into a TV edition, composed of 7 episodes, but not as a mere direct splicing of the movie into short episodes, new scenes were added to complete the arc, coupled with a new OP and ED theme, and the first episode was completely new; the new cut started to air on October 10th, in Japan.

The Red-Light District arc premiered on December 5th, , running for 11 episodes, concluding in February 13th, On February 13th, Aniplex and ufotable formally announced the animated adaptation for the Swordsmith Village arc is in production.

Compare with Kaiten Mutenmaru , also a manga about a katana-wielding boy against horrific but sometimes sympathetic monsters created from humans. Thunder Breathing is a swordfighting style that emphasizes striking with the power and speed of lightning, as demonstrated by Zenitsu's use of its most fundamental attack.

Example of: Iaijutsu Practitioner. Community Showcase More. Follow TV Tropes. You need to login to do this. Get Known if you don't have an account. The series ends without Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke becoming Hashira but progressing in their strength instead; Tanjiro is outright stated to be a Hashira level slayer by Giyu later, Zenitsu presents feats only the Hashira have creating a new form, killing a Twelve Kizuki demon , Inosuke is part of the effort in killing the Upper-Rank 2, and while during said fight, Kanao is said to be superior to Shinobu in overall fighting ability, but there's no promotion to be had when the whole reason the Demon Slayer Corps existed was to kill all demons, and Muzan dying accomplished that.

Adaptation Distillation : This comes off as an oddity since the animated adaptation expands on several events from the manga, but there are some minor things the anime cut for unspecified reasons: The scene where Zenitsu first presents Nezuko with flowers. The anime completely cuts Nezuko from the shot, by showing Zenitsu presenting his flowers to someone out of frame. While in the manga, Nezuko is shown right next to him.

The Hashira Meeting has an event where all Hashira become agitated and surprised at the fact Tanjiro has actually seen Muzan face to face.

Mitsuri is accidentally pushed down by Uzui during the uproar, the anime does not adapt the small little detail in the manga panel showing Giyu helping her get back up. Actor Allusion : In the Latin American Spanish dub, Ivan Bastidas Tanjiro already had experience on voicing a protagonist whose family is killed and having to fighting against evil as a result, except replace Taisho-era Japan with Gotham City in the U.

Likewise, and from the same dubbed version, it's not the first time we hear Melissa Gedeon Mitsuri Kanroji to voice a pink-haired girl. Adaptation Dye-Job : The series is filled with cases of artistic styling on how hair colors are presented. The major example being one of the main characters, Inosuke Hashibira, having black hair but with blue hair strand tips.

Adaptation Expansion : The anime expands many events from the manga. Information sometimes presented in one narrator text box or just a single manga panel get expanded into full scenes in the anime; some of these are: Tanjiro's tragedy from losing his family is given more breathing room to show peaceful his life was before they all, except his sister, died; the following scuffle with his demon-turned sister and the slayer that came to kill her is expanded as well.

Zenitsu's reminiscing of his master Jigoro, the anime didn't just expand the master's devotion to training Zenitsu, it actually made original scenes for them as well.

Zenitsu's message sparrow Chuntaro is given much more focus than it originally had in the manga, mere single extra volume illustrations were made into full scenes in the anime. Rui's make-believe family system was only given a single manga panel detailing how larger it used to be in the past; the anime made a whole flashback scene to it.

The anime changes a bit of how the Mugen Train Arc started. For one thing, in the manga, it wasn't a mission given to Tanjiro and co. The Academy specials are greatly expanded in the anime, even as short little segments it took all of the extra info given through just text and little 4-koma in the manga, to then produce more cohesive and lively scenarios. However, there are a few gags in the manga that relied upon on the narration to work; for example, explaining how honest Tanjiro is by introducing himself to a demon before attacking them, despite how he could easily have gone for a sneak attack instead.

The anime skipped the explanation for why Tanjiro does that. Afterlife Angst : Inverted. During the final battle, Sanemi is gravely wounded and finds himself in the afterlife. Seeing his mother in hell, separated from their family, he tries to follow her so she won't be alone, only for his father to stop him as it isn't Sanemi's time to die.

The Hashira then can only scream helplessly as he is thrown back into the world of the living. Age Insecurity : In an early episode, Tamayo implies that she's been around for over 2 centuries. When Tanjiro asks her age out of shock, Yushiro angrily calls him out on his rudeness. Alas, Poor Villain : Demons who aren't heartless monsters tend to be Tragic Villains with sad origins.

Alcoholic Parent : Rengoku's father started to drink constantly after his wife's death and finding out about the Sun Breathing style , losing his passion for swordsmanship and it's implied abandoning his duties as the Flame Hashira. He's still chugging away while badmouthing his own dead son after his funeral , but later he starts to get better. All for Nothing : Muzan's entire journey to find the Blue Spider Lily was destined for failure, as his miracle flower, thanks to research seen in the modern day, only blooms for a few days and only in broad daylight; otherwise, it is indistinguishable from a common weed.

He and his minions would have never been able to get it. All-Loving Hero : Tanjiro is just a nice kid through and through. He's fully committed to his duty of slaying demons that threaten society, but that doesn't mean he hates all of them and comforts those who regain some of their humanity in their final moments. Most of them come in the form of extras within the compiled manga volumes, with the rest in databooks. Deeper details on key events, character trivia, and more background are guaranteed to be reserved for those expansions.

Ambiguous Situation : The true nature of the Marks and the eventual fate of those who achieve it; Kokushibo states that every Slayer who achieves the elevated power of the Mark is guaranteed to die once they reach 25 years of age, as the tremendous power it brings comes at a price, rapidly draining a person's vitality until they shrivel and die.

The series ends with 3 Marked ones who survive the final battle: Tanjiro, Giyu, and Sanemi, and the series doesn't dwell on how many years they live after that, nor the second Fanbook; Tanjiro's family tree in the 21th century having one full generation over Zenitsu's and Inosuke's could be a saddening hint but ultimately nothing is confirmed, and it likely never will be with Gotouge preferring to leave the ending as it is.

Animation Bump : Inverted with the Taisho rumor segments at the end of each episode, which generally have very limited animation, to distinguish them from the plot of the show. The flashback in Episode 19 showing Tanjiro's father doing the Hinokami Kagura is rotoscoped , making his movements much more fluid.

Arc Villain : Except for the ''Sunrise Countdown'' arc that shows the defining battle against Muzan and his subordinates and two other training arcs, each arc has a major antagonist that Tanjiro and his friends must defeat, with Muzan as the overarching main villain of the series.

Final Selection arc: Teoni, a huge and monsterous demon obsessed with killing the students of Urokodaki who participate in the final election in revenge for defeating and trapping him on the Fujikasane mountain.

First Mission arc: The Demon in the Bog, a demon divided into three personalities who kidnaps and devours teenage girls. He ends becoming the first enemy that Tanjiro confronts as an official demon slayer. Asakusa arc: Muzan Kibutsuji debuts, but he ends leaving the task to kill Tanjiro to Yahaba and Susamaru, two faithful demons that aspire to join the Twelve Kizuki and end up targeting Tamayo too.

Drum House arc: Kyogai, a former member of the Twelve Kizuki who lost his ability to become stronger by eating humans and wants to regain his former glory by eating Kiyoshi, a human with rare blood.

Natagumo Mountain arc: The Lower Rank Five Kuzuki Rui, a tyrannical and cruel demon who forces his followers to act out familial roles. Mugen Train arc: Enmu, the Lower Rank One Kuzuki and the Sole Survivor of Muzan's slaughter of the Lower Ranks, who is tasked by his master to kill Tanjiro and Flame Hashira Rengoku by infiltrating a train and planning to kill their wills with his dream-controlling abilities.

After his death, Upper Rank Three Akaza takes the role as the main villain, wanting Rengoku to join Muzan due to his impressive abilities and ultimately killing him. Infinity Castle arc: A Boss Bonanza where all the remaining Hashira and the main cast have to take on all of the remaining Upper Ranks of Kokushibo, Douma, Akaza as well as the new Uppers Ranks, Nakime and Kaigaku, as the toughest and most personal battles in the series by far.

Which will all lead towards the finale of taking down Muzan once and for all. Art Evolution : Gotouge comes from a background of drawing single chapter horror stories, and their style of drawing facial structures was more in the line of drawing smaller, piercing eyes that occupied less space on a character's face. That method was present early on in Demon Slayer , which is their first long serial, but as the series progressed Gotouge began to draw characters with bigger eyes and more comically expressive faces.

The anime adaptation lines itself with Gotouge's later art style from the get-go. While learning how to breathe effectively is a real thing among athletes and martial artists, in this series it is taken to a whole new level.

Proper breathing can make the characters have unprecedented control over their bodies, freely control their blood flow to make their muscles have super strength, push their bodies to move faster than bullets, and even outright stop hemorrhages by focusing hard enough. Even so, the series pushes the Breathings as something that isn't supernatural at all, compared to demons who have actual supernatural powers. Art Shift : During comedic moments, characters are drawn in a simple, chibi-like style.

Asshole Victim : Some of the people that the demons killed in their backstories were rather loathsome, and a few of them directly caused the demons' Start of Darkness. In the Mount Natagumo arc, one Demon Slayer who tries to fight Rui is rather unconcerned about the deaths of his comrades, and hopes to kill a demon so that he can get a pay raise.

Unfortunately for him, Rui is one of the Twelve Kizuki, and kills him in one hit. Obanai Iguro 's family was a group of people who sacrificed their offspring to a snake demon and lived off the wealth of the people the demon killed.

They planned on sacrificing the young Obanai to the demon once he became old enough, but he escaped, resulting in the demon killing everyone except one young girl in retaliation. That said, while Obanai knows full well that they were terrible people, the Sole Survivor blaming him for their deaths helps further his self-loathing. Assimilation Backfire : Doma's tendency to devour women is used against him by Shinobu, who spent around a year consuming wisteria poison in order for her own body to become poisonous enough to damage him should he consume her, allowing Kanao to deliver the finishing blow.

Kagaya, leader of the demon slayers, subverts this slightly - he's a masterful tactician but is in incredibly poor health. Awesomeness by Analysis : Tanjiro is a very observant fighter, able to come up with tactics on the fly.

Using his head both figuratively and literally is his greatest asset. Babies Ever After : The modern day epilogue features some of the casts' descendants as well as a few reincarnations.

For explicit pairings, we have Tanjiro and Kanao fostering a line with two great-great grandchildren, and see the same has happened to Zenitsu and Nezuko with their great grandchildren; adding the extended epilogue and final volume extras which confirmed Inosuke and Aoi did hook up as well. He does this by massacring them brutally.

After he accuses one of being more frightened of the demon slayers than of himself, the demon frantically protests it's not true, only for Muzan to execute her on the spot anyway for having contradicted him. Another one asks for Muzan to give him more blood which would make the demon more powerful, but has a risk of killing him , but Muzan accuses the demon of giving him orders, and kills him, too. Bait-and-Switch : How the meeting with the Lower Ranks goes genre-wise. Typically in a shonen series, this would be the part where the audience is introduced to the antagonists of the next coming arcs Barefoot Poverty : A few cases are seen in the series through the cast's tragic backstories, the most emotionally charged being Kanao's past as she lived in extreme misery with abhorrent parents who physically abused all of their children, many of them to death; other than Kanao there was Zenitsu who lived as a wandering orphan when he was little, the orphan children Gyomei raised when he was just a monk, and so on.

If your spiritual core in the subconscious part of that world is destroyed, it leaves you mentally crippled and a shell of your former self. The mental world is a reflection of your personality: Rengoku's is a wide burning plain of tiled stone floors.

Inosuke's world is a maze of winding underground tunnels.
