Spring always brings a bunch of new exciting anime, and one of the most anticipated of this year so far is Demon Slayer Season 3, otherwise known as the Swordsmith Village Arc, which has now arrived at Crunchyroll.

The anime has been growing in hype with every season, as it follows this official plot: “Tanjiro Kamado, a boy whose family is killed by a demon, joins the Demon Slayer Corps to turn his younger sister Nezuko back into a human after she is transformed into a demon.”

But what day and time is the series dropping on Crunchyroll? Well, read on, and we’ll explain all…
