 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. Announcement Note: The video is region-locked; click here for an alternative link.

| finally we get to see the best hashira, mitsuri |
    |
| Pretty expected. Looks like we'll get to see more of the Kana Hanazawa girl next season. Should be interesting. |
 |
| Mitsuri Kanroji will be in next arc, this'll be amusing. |
 |
| 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. _MushiRock11_ said: Please let it be 2-cours though. 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. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Im so exited, demon slayer is my top anime along with Naruto and i cant wait to see this arc! |
| Most surprising announcement of the year |
| 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.  |
| Can't wait! This season was fire! |
 |
| I hope it comes out this year. If it is another ~11 episodes then they should not make us wait for long !!! |
| Video not available in my country :( |
| Oh yeah, this is the arc that Nezuko [REDACTED] and that one demon that [REDACTED] after Tanjiro and the spacey kid train by [REDACTED] ... but seriously, who hides a sword in a 800 year old robot? |

| EXPECTED NEWS... |
 |
|
| Mitsuri and Tokitou in next arc, sure it will be more fun. |
| It didn't take long to release the news, congratulations to all involved! |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| well deserved. 2023 will be a great year :) |
 |
| Awesome news! After brilliant Yuukaku-hen, I can't wait to see the next arc animated. |
| As expected, I'm reading the Swordsmith Village arc right now and I can't wait to see it animated. |

Mg204 said: Holy shit this is amazing news, I actually love this arc just because of Mitsuri lol Ngl bro, even that Spider lady was hotter |

| "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). |
| I'm gonna be so happy when I see my boy Tokito get animated and shine :) |
| Arc heaviely featuring Mitsuri, huh? definitely looking forward to that. |
 |
| FINALLY MY BOI TOKITO'S TIMEEEEEEE TwT |
| A certain person lurking here |
| Can’t wait to see Genya’s American breathing. |
 |
| 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! |
