Demon Slayer anime has been released just four years back and has already gained a lot of fan base. The anime is filled with intense action scenes. The animation is so mesmerizing that one can love this anime only on the basis of that, let alone the plot.
The plot of Demon Slayer has been so nicely carved that one can watch the anime without skipping a second. So, if you have yet to start the Demon Slayer anime and are looking to give it a shot, then I can give you a perfect order to watch this anime.
Only three seasons of Demon Slayer have been released so far. All these three seasons contain nine amazing arcs. The release date of another season is yet to be announced; however, there certainly is going to be the fourth season named Hashira Training Arc. As all three seasons of Demon Slayer have been released with a gap of a year, namely in 2019, 2021, 2023. So, we can expect the release date of the fourth season in 2025.
Below, I will mention the Demon Slayer arcs based on their release date. You can also use the same order to watch the anime. However, there is a movie based on the Mugen Train Arc, but there is no need to watch that movie as all scenes of Mugen Train Arc in the anime have been repeated in the movie. Now, let’s go for the order of the Demon Slayer Arcs with seasons and episodes mentioned.
Season one contains six arcs with 26 episodes.
- The Final Selection Arc: From episode 1 to 5.
- Kidnapper’s Bog Arc: From episode 6 to 7.
- Asakusa Arc: From episode 8 to 10.
- Tsuzumi Mansion Arc: From episode 11 to 14

- Entertainment District Arc: From episode 34 to 44.
Season 3 contains only one arc.
