This show follows Tanjiro Kamado as he hunts down the demonic being responsible for his family’s brutal murder. Based on Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga, this story takes place in 20th century Japan where demons are known to roam freely; after Tanjiro’s parents are killed by unknown demons, he joins the Demon Slayer Corps and fights them himself – though this version does not alter any violent or bloody scenes seen in its source material! The original series’ manga source material or even anime does not alter or edit out any violent or bloody scenes seen within its pages!
Demon Slayer has recently emerged as an unparalleled hit in anime, making an unprecedented comeback after being shut out for so long. Already winning multiple awards such as best new anime at 2019 Newtype Anime Awards and Crunchyroll Anime Awards; its movie is Japan’s highest grossing film ever!
Now it appears fans can look forward to a second season of Demon Slayer TV show. It was recently revealed that the Entertainment District Arc will premiere on Dec 5 and includes new music and intros for every episode.
Many of the cast from both season one and the movie will return for this arc, such as Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado), Akari Kito (Nezuko), Hiro Shimono (Zenitsu Agatsuma), and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Inosuke Hashibira). Katsuyuki Konishi who portrays Tengen Uzui can also be found among them – although Ray Chase will introduce himself – who will bring a different perspective.
After an outstanding first season that garnered huge success and broke Studio Ghibli’s Japan box office record, many fans of Demon Slayer are eagerly awaiting its second chapter. Though no official announcement has been made regarding Netflix hosting it yet, most assume this is likely to happen.
Netflix typically only adds popular anime like Demon Slayer after it has been out for several years and, even then, often takes several months before appearing on their streaming service.
Crunchyroll has taken an aggressive stance when it comes to adding new popular anime series as they’re released, already adding Mugen Train Movie Arc 2 and will add episodes for Entertainment District Arc starting October 10.
Natsuki Hanae will reprise her role of Tanjiro Kamado from season 1 and Mugen Train film, joined by Akari Kito as Nezuko. Additionally, Katsuyuki Konishi and Ray Chase (in Japanese; Zach Aguilar and Abby Trott (English) voice Tengen Uzui). Additionally, season two takes place within a red-light district and may contain explicit content.

Netflix announced on January 21, 2023 via an announcement posted to their official website that they will stream season 2 of Demon Slayer anime.
The second season of “Mugen Train” picks up immediately following the events of Mugen Train movie and will follow Tanjiro Kamado as he embarks on new adventures while exploring the Entertainment District.

Furthermore, popular anime streaming sites Crunchyroll and Funimation have signed on to distribute its second season so fans from US, Canada UK Ireland can watch it!
