If you’ve never heard of Demon Slayer, it’s time to get familiar, because Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie broke anime box office records in the U.S. this weekend.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle—or Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle – Part 1: Akaza Returns, if you want to be official about it—is a feature film that serves as a direct sequel to the fourth season of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Japanese anime TV series, and is the first movie in a trilogy that will serve as a three-part conclusion to the series. So get excited!
Unlike the recent Demon Slayer movies Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training, Infinity Castle is not a compilation movie, but rather a new story that continues the series, and serves as the beginning of an epic conclusion. It’s now wonder, then, that Infinity Castle became the highest-grossing film of 2025 in Japan when it opened in Japan in July.
Now that Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle opened in U.S. theaters on Friday via Crunchyroll/Sony Pictures Releasing, American audiences are getting the chance to watch this highly-anticipated movie on the big screen. And boy, are they showing up. The movie earned an estimated $70 million in its opening weekend, which is the biggest opening weekend domestic gross for an anime movie. If you want to get on the hype train, you might be overwhelmed by where and how to watch Demon Slayer on streaming. Read on to find out how to watch the Demon Slayer seasons and movies on streaming, and when we expect to see the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie on Crunchyroll.
The Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie Crunchyroll release date has not yet been announced, but we can make an educated guess as to when Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle will be on Crunchyroll, based on previous Crunchyroll/Sony Pictures Releasing movies.
Last year, Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom—another Crunchyroll/Sony release in the U.S.—was released in U.S. theaters on November 7, 2024, and began streaming on Crunchyroll on April 24, 2025, about five-and-a-half months after its U.S. theatrical release.
So, if Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle follows a similar release pattern, you might see Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle streaming on Crunchyroll in about five-and-a-half-months, around early March 2026.
Crunchyroll has three subscription plans starting at $8/month. Learn more here.
