Among all the major releases of the year, one dark fantasy stood at the top of everyone. This Aniplex production by Ufotable Studio is a story about two siblings who venture out on a quest after losing their family.
The series released its third season, which was another record-breaking year for the franchise following the massively successful canon movie and the second season. Yes, the dark fantasy anime we’re talking about is Demon Slayer.
Demon Slayer is the most-watched anime of 2023
According to Twiiter/X, “Kimetsu no Yaiba TV Anime – Swordsmith Village Arc was the ‘Most Watched Anime Show’ from 2023, averaging 15.4 million viewers and a 22.8 million peak. The compilation film of ‘Red Light District Arc’ averaged 10.3 million viewers and a 22.5 million peak.”
Demon Slayer may be among the new-gen Shonen anime, but it has long rivaled all the classics. The fourth season of the series will air in April 2024, and it should be just as amazing. The Hashira Training Arc is the last part of the story before the Final Arc begins, which goes to show how important it is.
After Muichiro and Mitsuri manifest their Demon Slayer Marks during their fight against the Upper Moons, the Ubuyashiki Family and the Corps finally find a sliver of hope. After being at a disadvantage for so long, the demon slayers have a chance of overpowering those terrifying Upper Moons if they manifest their marks.
However, the criteria to manifest this power is by no means an easy task. In the upcoming season, the entire Demon Slayer Corps begins to train relentlessly under the guidance of the Hashira, thus commencing the Hashira Training Arc. The Hashiras are responsible for training their juniors as well as themselves.
