Demon Slayer is one of the hottest anime around, and the anticipation for the movie, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Infinity Castle, which is the first of a conclusive trilogy for the series. Those who haven't had the chance to watch Demon Slayer can still in on the fun, though, as the series will be streaming for free under limited circumstances.

Demon Slayer consists of 4 seasons, as well as its first movie, Mugen Train, which was later adapted for TV as part of the second season. It first debuted in 2019 to fantastic reviews, many of which praised the beautiful visuals which take place during combat. The series has been wildly popular since, with its protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, becoming one of the most recognizable faces of the modern anime world. While Demon Slayer is available to stream on several different streaming services, such as Crunchyroll, it's finally becoming free to stream for those on a budget.

Demon Slayer Will Be Debuting Daily on YouTube

The Series Will Be Premiering One Episode a Day Until the Movie's Release

It was the release of the first Infinity Castle film on July 18, 2025, in Japan. Episodes will debut one at a time in special live airings at 6 PM JST (5AM Eastern, 2AM Pacific), and will not be archived on the Aniplex YouTube channel, meaning fans need to watch it as it's airing if they want to enjoy the series this way. There is no word as to whether these airings will have the option of English subtitles at this time.

While this may not be the most convenient way to watch the series for those in the US, it is free, offering a chance for those who just aren't into anime enough to have a subscription to Crunchyroll to see what all the fuss is about. The stream will begin on May 22, 2025, starting with episode 1, naturally.
