Hey anime fans! Remember kicking yourself for missing Demon Slayer: Mugen Train in theaters? Or maybe you just want to relive the hype? Either way, Crunchyroll’s throwing you a lifeline: the film’s roaring back to UK and Irish screens this May, and it’s glowing in 4K. Yep, those eye-popping fight scenes and neon-soaked visuals just got a major upgrade.
Circle May 14 on your calendar—that’s when the Demon Slayer Movie : Mugen Train In 4K re-release hits theaters. Prefer subs? Dubs? No worries. You’ll get both options. Tickets drop on April 30, and let’s be real—these’ll sell faster than Tanjiro’s nichirin sword swings. Set those alarms!
Oh, and here’s the kicker: Crunchyroll also announced the first film in the Infinity Castle trilogy, the grand finale to the Demon Slayer saga, lands in cinemas on September 12. Consider this your heads-up to clear your autumn schedule.
For the uninitiated: Imagine your worst day ever. Now multiply it by 100. That’s Tanjiro Kamado’s life after demons slaughter his family and turn his little sister Nezuko into one of them. This kid’s got heart, though. He joins the Demon Slayer Corps—sword-wielding warriors who protect humanity—to cure Nezuko and hunt down the monsters responsible.
The series, based on Koyoharu Gotouge’s manga, blew up globally for a reason. It’s got everything: tear-jerking moments, laugh-out-loud humor (looking at you, Inosuke), and animation so slick you’ll forget to blink. Studio Ufotable didn’t just raise the bar—they launched it into orbit.

Demon Slayer Movie : Mugen Train isn’t just a filler arc. It’s the bridge between Season 1 and the chaos that follows. Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and the chaotic gremlin Inosuke hop on a creepy train where passengers vanish mid-ride. Enter Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira with a smile brighter than his sword. Together, they face a demon who weaponizes dreams—think Inception, but with way more blood and fire.
When it dropped in 2020, Mugen Train broke records like it was its job. It topped Japan’s box office for 12 weeks straight and became the first non-Hollywood film to dominate global earnings that year. Even Studio Ghibli’s classics didn’t hit 40 billion yen. Let that sink in.
The latest season, Hashira Training Arc, wrapped in June 2024. No spoilers, but let’s just say it’s all hands on deck. The Hashira—elite demon slayers with skills as wild as their personalities—train the squad for the final battle against Muzan, the demon king. Think brutal workouts, emotional backstories, and enough foreshadowing to fuel a thousand fan theories.
If you’ve never seen Mugen Train in theaters, now’s your shot. Watching Rengoku’s fiery showdowns or Tanjiro’s dream sequences in 4K? Chills. And with the Infinity Castle trilogy around the corner, this re-release is the ultimate primer.
Dates to Memorize:
Grab your squad, stock up on popcorn, and dive back into the chaos. Trust me—this isn’t just a movie night. It’s a full-blown anime event. 🍿🔥
