In terms of anime franchises, they don’t get much bigger right now than Demon Slayer.
Between box office records and the enthralling ongoing narrative, theanime showfollowing Tanjiro’s demon slaying quest just seems to get better and better.
Right now, we’re waiting forDemon Slayer Season 4, where we’ll kick into theHashira Training Arc. A fresh teaser tells us exactly exactly when we can see the first episode, and it’s only a couple of months away.
The footage in the trailer centers, as you might expect, on Tanjiro’s rigorous training to become Hashira rank, a particularly challenging level of demon hunter to obtain. Only a few ever manage it, so he has his work cut out for him, on top of whatever evil entities present themselves along the way.
Those who saw the latest anime movie in the franchise, To The Hashira Training, will recognize more or less everything in the trailer. But that’s to be expected — this arc isn’t especially long and the compilation film was really an extended teaser to begin with that let fans see the first episode early and in cinemas.
For most of the audience, this will all be brand new. Come May 12, we’ll be diving in together for real. If you can’t wait that long, we have a list of thebest anime like Demon Slayerto satiate your demonic appetite.
