The *Demon Slayer* anime continues to be directed by Haruo Sotozaki, with Akira Matsushima as character designer and chief animation director, and music by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina.

Crunchyroll streams all of the *Demon Slayer* anime thus far, including the new Hashira Training Arc, and describes it as follows:

*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.*
