Culver City, CA (December 7, 2020)  Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and its hero Tanjiro Kamado have captured the hearts of anime fans around the globe. Funimation, the leading distributor of anime globally, announced today the English dub of the popular series will be available on its streaming service starting December 8. For fans eager to relive all the action, Funimation currently has all 26 subbed episodes of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba on its streaming service. Whether you love the dub or the sub, you won’t want to miss the thrilling and heartbreaking tale of revenge and demons!

 

Aniplex of America’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba burst on the scene in 2019, marshaling a legion of fans with its epic tale of a slaughtered family; protagonist seeking revenge; and plethora of demons to fight along the way. In the series, bloodthirsty demons lurk in the woods and nobody dares to venture out at night, save for the demon slayers of legend. Surviving in this harsh world, young Tanjiro takes it upon himself to protect his family until the day that everything is taken from him in a vicious slaughter. Now, all he has left is his sister, and she’s not even human anymore.

 

Funimation and Aniplex of America are bringing Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train to theaters in early 2021. The film, which has broken box office records and earned more than $264 million in Japan, is based on the manga and follows the events of Episode 26. In it, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu board a train that they quickly learn isn’t quite as it seems. With help from Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, they sense a demon presence on board, and it’s up to the group to protect the train’s passengers and survive their trip.
