 The 26th and final episode of Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) ended with an announcement on Saturday that a sequel anime film is in production. The film will cover the Mugen Ressha-hen (Infinity Train arc, also known as the Demon Train arc). Haruo Sotozaki (Tales of Zestiria the Cross) is returning to direct the film at animation studio ufotable. Akira Matsushima (Maria-sama ga Miteru) is also reprising as the character designer. The lead cast members from the television anime will also reprise their roles.  SynopsisEver since the death of his father, the burden of supporting the family has fallen upon Tanjirou Kamado's shoulders. Though living impoverished on a remote mountain, the Kamado family are able to enjoy a relatively peaceful and happy life. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to make a little money selling charcoal. On his way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take shelter in the house of a strange man, who warns him of the existence of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the woods at night. When he finally arrives back home the next day, he is met with a horrifying sight—his whole family has been slaughtered. Worse still, the sole survivor is his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a bloodthirsty demon. Consumed by rage and hatred, Tanjirou swears to avenge his family and stay by his only remaining sibling. Alongside the mysterious group calling themselves the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjirou will do whatever it takes to slay the demons and protect the remnants of his beloved sister's humanity. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Kimetsu no Yaiba adapts Koyoharu Gotouge's supernatural action manga of the same title, which began airing on April 6. Aniplex of America licensed the anime series and streamed it on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu. Adult Swim's Toonami programming block will run the show with English dub beginning October 12. Prior to serialization, Gotouge received an honorable mention at the 70th Jump Treasure Newcomer Manga Awards in 2013 for their Kagarigari one-shot, which became the prototype for Kimetsu no Yaiba. The latter began serializing in Weekly Shounen Jump in February 2016. Shueisha published the 16th volume on July 4, with the 17th volume planned for an October 4 release. Kimetsu no Yaiba has a cumulative 10 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in July 2017 and publishes it simultaneously with the Japanese release in their Shounen Jump service. The eighth volume went on sale on September 3, and the ninth volume will be published on November 5. Shueisha's Manga Plus platform also began simulpublishing the manga in English this January. Kimetsu no Yaiba ranked among the top 20 manga in the male readers category in the 2018 Kono Manga ga Sugoi rankings.

| excited for this but i need a lot of patience since movies takes longer to be release in fansubs lol |
| We might have to wait a bit for this but I'm really happy this is happening! |

| Rengoku is here and my ass is still not ready |
| ye despite the long wait the best boy and ultimate bro of this show is about to get his spotlight in freaking movie quality betaweeb said: Ffs, I know I should be glad for whatever continuation we're getting but this trend of movie sequels is so annoying, just take your time to make a second season. anime movies have more polish/quality though since its usually only equal to 4-6 TV episodes so they have plenty of time to animate things good |
| Movie announcements always make fans feel a mixture of hype and disappointment lol |
  |
| The only bad thing about it is that people outside Japan would have to wait a long time to be able to watch it. |
 |
| The train arc is super epic and is suitable to be made in a movie format imo so no complains. Also, infinite budget works can't be topped but hopefully with a movie and their focus maximized we can get that godly fights and animations once more? Or maybe even to greater heights? HYPE! |

The buget for a movie is always higher.Ffs, I know I should be glad for whatever continuation we're getting but this trend of movie sequels is so annoying, just take your time to make a second season. nah anime movies usually have the same budget as a 1-cour TV show so $2 million, its actually rare for anime movies to have those $30 million budgets like Ghibli movies have the higher quality is because anime movies tend to animate an equal of 4-6 TV episodes in general so they have plenty of time for animators to animate thing with great quality |
| Absolutely thrilled over this news and can NOT wait, oh yeah! Ufotable have been giving it their all for 26 episodes in a trot, I can't even begin to imagine the quality a movie and that too of such a hyped arc is in store for us! My day is blessed, thank you Ufotable! |

| Fuck, this means we're not getting a proper sequel. Anytime series get a movie sequel, that's the end of the series and they don't get another season |
| Dat feeling when the manga may be already finished by the time I got to watch this movie... |

Koshi_Inaba said: bledsoe60 said: Fuck, this means we're not getting a proper sequel. Anytime series get a movie sequel, that's the end of the series and they don't get another season Not really. Danmachi got an anime movie before second season, same with youjo senki. Theres also fafner. There are still awesome arcs in kimetsu after the one in the movie, not too mention the arc that appear in the movie ends with a gigantic cliffhanger. It would be super weird if they end it there. The Danmachi movie wasn't a sequel though, it was just a side story. And as far as I know Youjo Senki season 2 hasn't been announced either. If they are dropping a movie in the middle of the story that covers a part of the main story, that is more than a little concerning for the hope of a season 2. This is definitely not the news I wanted to hear. |
  whats a signature |
| Good luck waiting for 8+ month. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Not gonna lie, I kinda new it was coming. I knew this arc can be adapted in a movie But unfortunately, if the movie comes out in Sumner 2020, we will see it into winter 2021 |

What? Did they announce a second season for Youjo Senki??? |
bledsoe60 said: Fuck, this means we're not getting a proper sequel. Anytime series get a movie sequel, that's the end of the series and they don't get another season That's not always true. Grisaia series had a movie sequel in between and still got a proper sequel afterward. Same thing with SAO and Major. It's probably more of the case that this supposed train arc's length is going to be better to do in a movie-length rather than include it as part of a 2nd season |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Knew it was going to get a sequel and was totally willing to wait to a second season. But now I guess I'll have to wait for a movie instead... |
| Movie format makes sense because Demon Train is relatively shorter than the succeeding arcs. It's better this way so they can fit Red Light District and Swordsmith Village in one season. |
 |
| Uhm it's great, great news. Can I ask for a proper 2nd season instead, I mean the movie shouldn't be the last of kimetsu no yaiba. |

I can't watch the video... Thanks to the genius who uploaded the trailer of this ad to YouTube and block the possibility of watching in my country... Here in Argentina we are all Neanderthals who have not yet the anime discovered, and we only draw manga on the walls of our caves... Thanks... Only when we are conquered will we be able to freely access all the contents of youtube... Meanwhile, greetings from the southern hemisphere to the evolved sapiens who discriminate by region the anime they share. |

| I'm very excited to see what Ufotable can do for this movie just like Heaven Feels Trilogy! |
| This might be an even better news as it is. They know the next arc can be adapted in a movie perfectly, and then the next 2 ones would be perfect for a 2 cour 2nd season. Maybe they are planning far ahead already. |

This movie will be a direct sequel to season 1 that adapt Infinite Train Arc, This arc is really short (Ch 54-66) so movie format is more fit, also movie is usually have better quality than TV series (you can see Heaven's Feel movie for example, that Lancer vs Assassin and Saber Alter vs Berserker fights) |
 |
betaweeb said: Hebi_op said: The Train arc is short, it can't fit in a single cour unless Ufotable destroys the pacing. read below fair enough, bit it's not like it isn't possible to adapt more than one arc per season. 2 arcs after Infinite Train Arc is long arc, so they decide to make Infinite Train Arc as movie then 2 arcs after that as season 2. |
|
| I would have liked a second season announcement right off the bat, but more of this story in any format won't draw any complaints from me. Plus, think about how fucking gorgeous this movie will look given the amount of time they'll have to work on it. Episode 19 looked as good as it did and that was with a TV anime production schedule, so this movie will definitely look nothing short of amazing. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I'm sure the movie will come out summer 2020 Winter is absolutely out of question, and in Spring already comes Heaven's Feel final movie, so only Summer left And this way, we will see this movie early 2021, probably in January |
|
| I'm glad they are doing a movie adaptation for the Demon Train arc, but I'm not going to wait until the movie comes out in the west. So I'm going to binge read the manga. |
