Guardians of the Night: Kimetsu no Yaiba is an anime with a lot of pull. Being able to stand toe-to-toe with Attack on Titan, its popularity and fame is equivalent to that of all the great shonen, with the exception of the eternal pillars like Dragon Ball or One Piece. That’s why every announcement is a sensation in the world of anime. And every premiere is an event. In the case of the premiere of the first episode of the new season, literally.
Crunchyroll and Aniplex announced this past Thursday, January 18th, that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hashira Training Arc – will have a special premiere. Because both the last episode of the previous season, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Village of the Blacksmith Arc –, and the first episode of this new season, will receive a joint limited release in theaters worldwide. A well-deserved honor, as the first episode of this new season will be a one-hour special, justifying this particular treatment.
Starting on the 21st in Malta and ending on the 27th in Austria, Germany, and German-speaking Switzerland, what interests us the most is February 22nd, when it will be released in Spain, practically all of Latin America, and a large part of Europe. Therefore, it is expected that information will be available very soon on which cinemas will be showing this special screening of these two episodes of the series.
A few lucky ones, however, won’t have to wait that long. Crunchyroll is also doing a World Tour where they will present this same preview, with the anime’s voice actors and part of the staff. Unfortunately, out of the eight stops, only three are in Europe, located in Berlin, Paris, and London, and only one in Latin America, in Mexico City. Making this world tour a bit inconvenient for most anime fans.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hashira Training Arc – will premiere in April, with a first episode of one hour, with a date yet to be determined. It will be available on Crunchyroll, where it is already possible to watch all previous seasons of the series.
