The eleventh and final episode of the Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen (Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc) television anime announced on Sunday that a television anime adaptation of the Katanakaji no Sato-hen (Swordsmith Village Arc) is in production. The official website also revealed a teaser visual (pictured) and an announcement video.

Haruo Sotozaki (Tales of Zestiria the Cross) is returning to helm the new anime at animation studio ufotable. Akira Matsushima (Maria-sama ga Miteru) is also returning as the character designer. The lead cast members are reprising their roles.

The first anime season aired in 26 episodes in Spring 2019. The Yuukaku-hen (Entertainment District Arc) aired in 11 episodes and began airing on December 5. Aniplex of America licensed both anime series and simulcast them on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu. Adult Swim's Toonami programming block premiered the first season with an English dub in October 2020.

The Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Mugen Train) anime film opened in Japan on October 20, 2020. The movie also received a television edit with new scenes which aired from October 10 to November 28 last year.

Koyoharu Gotouge received an honorable mention at the 70th Jump Treasure Newcomer Manga Awards for their Kagarigari one-shot in 2013, which became the prototype for Kimetsu no Yaiba. The latter began serializing in Weekly Shounen Jump in February 2016 and ended its four-year run on May 18, 2020. Shueisha shipped the 23rd and final volume on December 4, 2020.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in July 2017 and simulpublished it with the Japanese release in their new Shounen Jump platform. The 23rd and final volume shipped on August 3 last year. Shueisha's Manga Plus service also simulpublished the manga in English beginning January 2019.

Okay, I'm hearing lots of good things about the following arc(s) so here's to hoping for the very best!

Rumours are that it'll take a year and a half but honestly, I'm totally fine with that. Please let it be 2-cours though.

@thebrentinator24 Ah, dang.

As expected. I can't wait for ufotable to continue to bless and spoil us. Full adaptation (eventually), here we fucking come baby.

This arc is only 28 chapters in the manga, 2 chapters shorter than the arc we just got. There's a short arc after the Swordsmith Village that's 9 chapters, so even if they combined it and the one after it, that would only be 37 chapters. I could see this season being 13 episodes.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

The hype is real. And also I just cant get enough of how stunning and clean tokito's visual looks. I mean the colour and background along with his character design in this visual looks oddly satisfying.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

I wish I could watch this show, but I have a million other TV shows and movies to catch up on and it's not like Demon Slayer will go anywhere if I don't immediately watch it. After all, I'm the kind of guy who likes watching things long after their respective hype trains and hate bandwagons have left the station.

Also, I really hope that this show doesn't overstay its welcome. If this is final season, I'd be pretty okay with that. I'm a huge believer of quality over quantity, so I'd rather have 3 or 4 really good seasons over an multitude of mediocre-to-bad seasons. Things are better if they build up to a natural conclusion and end while they are creative powerhouses instead of getting milked dry because the people that own them want more money.

Just yesterday, the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen got announced, and now we got an announcement of an adaptation of the next arc of KnY. I'm glad we didn't have to wait long for an announcement. Entertainment District arc gave me goosebumps. This will probably air next year. I'm expecting KnY to be a complete adaptation eventually.

I think we can expect a minimum of 4 seasons, to complete the story. :D

yep, you look very excited.
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

Next arc was the weakest for me, so I'm hoping the anime adaptation changes my mind. Entertainment District Arc massively exceeded my expectations, though, so I'm excited nonetheless!

Sorry for the late reply, but I hope that this show ends while it's still a creative powerhouse for the company and the network, rather than going on and on and on, all the while sacrificing quality for quantity. I believe stories are better when they move towards a natural conclusion, giving fans something to look forward to.

i don't think yall know how anime works... they animate the manga. they cant just skip over 5 arcs ( guessing the number didn't read) in the manga and just end the anime.. cause then ppl will hate on it like the promised neverland season 2(they literally skipped 5 arcs in 1 episode)

One piece has over 1000+ episodes cause the manga has 1000+ and still going. imagine the anime just said F it and make up what the one piece treasure is.. everyone involved wouldn't be happy.
