An anime adaptation produced by Ufotable premiered in 2019 and was followed by 2020’s wildly popular Demon Slayer – Kimetsu No Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train and a late 2021 to early 2022 second season, with the latter being composed of a TV broadcast version of Mugen Train and the Entertainment District Arc. A new season tackling the Swordsmith Village Arc has been announced.
Crunchyroll describes the first season of the anime as:
It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself. Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.
