Season 3 of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is almost here, but you might need to sign up for a new service to watch it.
The popular anime series returns with an 11-episode third season dedicated to the Swordsmith Village story arc, but it won’t be on Netflix like the first two seasons. At least, not yet. In order to watch season 3 of Demon Slayer, you’ll need a Crunchyroll(Opens in a new tab) account. The first episode of the new season will premiere on Crunchyroll on April 9.
Chances are, if you like anime, you’re probably at least aware of Crunchyroll. It’s an anime-centric streaming service with a limited free option that won’t do you much good here because free users have to wait an extra week to watch anything that’s being simulcast in Japan. If you’re not located in Japan, you can catch the subtitled version of the release on Crunchyroll from 10:45 a.m. EST on the same day.
To see Demon Slayer as it airs each week, you’ll need to pony up at least $8/mo for one of the site’s premium options(Opens in a new tab).
That might sting a little bit, but the good news is we’re only talking about an 11-episode season. At most, you’ll have to pay $24 to see the whole thing. If you think about it that way, it’s not so bad. If you want to catch up, Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Netflix all have the first two seasons plus the Mugen Train movie available right now.
Now go, anime it up to your heart’s content.
