$136 ($170)
If you are looking for some bonus material, there's also a limited-edition version as it has striking packaging art by the show's character designer Akira Matsushima, special booklets, original soundtrack CDs, and more. This is a Crunchyroll Store exclusive and is available for $136 (was $170).
Demon Slayer tells the story of Tanjiro Kamado--a survivor of a demon attack determined to avenge his family, rescue his sister from the curse of demonization, and end the scourge of the man-eating monsters once and for all. While it certainly is a grim premise, the show is surprisingly lighthearted thanks to its lovable lead and his colorful allies, creating a potent mix of levity, action, and drama.
Demon Slayer Season 4, dubbed Hashira Training Arc, aired earlier this year. The series will end with a trilogy of movies titled Infinity Castle. The movies will cover the explosive final arc of the original manga. If you haven't seen it yet, you've missed out on one of the best anime series of recent memory, as it combines some of the best animation in the industry with a likable cast of characters and some truly heinous villains. You can catch up on Demon Slayer with the rest of the Blu-rays, as these chronicle Tanjiro's origins, his rise through the Demon Slayer ranks, and his grueling battles with these powerful monsters.
