What Order To Watch Demon Slayer On Funimation
Okay, you're ready to dive headfirst into the world of Demon Slayer, swords, and surprisingly heartwarming moments amidst all the demon slaying. You've got your Funimation account ready to go, but wait! Where do you even start? Don’t worry, we've all been there.
The Essential Viewing Order: Slash Through the Confusion!
First, start with the main series, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Season 1: Tanjiro's Journey Begins
This is where it all begins. Meet Tanjiro Kamado, a sweet kid whose life turns upside down when his family is attacked by demons, and his sister, Nezuko, is turned into one. But don’t worry, she’s a demon with a heart of gold (and a bamboo muzzle!).
Must Read
This season follows Tanjiro as he joins the Demon Slayer Corps, training to become a formidable swordsman and find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human.
Expect stunning visuals, tear-jerking moments, and some truly bizarre demons. (Seriously, some of them are just…out there).
Mugen Train Arc
Next up is the Mugen Train Arc, which you can watch as a movie or broken up into episodes as part of season 2.
This arc sees Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke teaming up with the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, to investigate mysterious disappearances on a train.
Get ready for some epic battles, some serious emotional punches to the gut, and Rengoku's infectious enthusiasm. He is a gem!
Season 2: Entertainment District Arc
After the train ride from hell, it’s time for Season 2: Entertainment District Arc.
Tanjiro and his friends team up with the flashy Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, to investigate rumors of demons in the Yoshiwara district.
Expect even more over-the-top action, flamboyant personalities, and a surprisingly touching story about found family. Who knew demon slaying could be so sparkly?
Season 3: Swordsmith Village Arc
Continue with Season 3: Swordsmith Village Arc.
This season takes Tanjiro to a hidden village where swordsmiths craft the Demon Slayers' weapons. Of course, chaos ensues, and he must team up with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, and the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, to defend the village from a demon attack.
Look forward to more breathtaking animation, the introduction of even more quirky characters, and some surprisingly sweet moments amidst the chaos.
Season 4: Hashira Training Arc
Dive into the most recent Season 4: Hashira Training Arc.
Tanjiro and company undergo rigorous training with the Hashira, preparing them for the final battle against Muzan. This is like a "getting the band back together" montage, but with more sword-swinging and less 80s music.
It’s more character-driven and set the tone for the climax of the series.
Optional Extras (But Still Worth It!)
Funimation might have some of the Demon Slayer OVAs (Original Video Animations) or specials available. These usually offer fun side stories or comedic shorts.
They're not essential to the main plot, but they can be a fun way to spend some more time with your favorite characters. Treat them as dessert after a delicious main course!
Final Thoughts
So there you have it! The viewing order for Demon Slayer on Funimation. Enjoy the ride, and don't be afraid to shed a tear (or several). It's all part of the experience!
Now go forth and slay some demons (metaphorically, of course). And maybe keep a box of tissues handy.
