Is demon slayer season 2 after mugen train

What is the best and chronologically correct order to watch Demon Slayer, including seasons one, two and the Mugen Train movie?

When starting the Demon Slayer anime, or for any anime series, the correct chronological order to watch episodes can often be quite confusing.

This is especially the case with Demon Slayer, which includes not only two television seasons and a canon feature film, but also a re-adaptation of that movie.

So, what is the best way to watch Demon Slayer if you are brand new to the anime?

The chronological order to watch Demon Slayer

Chronologically, there are two orders to watching the Demon Slayer story and they entirely depend on if you would rather watch a movie, or a seven-episode adaptation of that movie.

Personally, we would argue that you should start with the first television season, watch the first episode from season 2, then the Mugen Train movie before continuing to watch season 2 from episode 8.

  • Demon Slayer season 1, episodes 1 through 26 (2019)
  • Demon Slayer season 2, episode 1 “Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku” (2021)
  • Demon Slayer: Mugen Train movie (2020)
  • Demon Slayer season 2, episode 8 through 18 (2021)

This 2020 Mugen Train movie was re-adapted into a seven-episode television run, which was included as part of the series’ second season; meaning that the order to watch titles depends on if you want a film or television version of the Mugen Train arc.

If you prefer watching the Mugen Train Arc in a television format, you can go straight from season 1 into season 2 without any issue.

However, if you want to make the feature film part of your Demon Slayer journey, you should watch the first episode of season 2 before starting the movie.

This episode, “Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku” serves as an introduction to the Mugen Train arc and leads directly onto the scene where both the movie and season 2 episode 2 starts from.

If you want to watch the movie format, you can then skip episodes 2 – 7 of Demon Slayer season 2, which was again only a re-adaptation of the 2020 film and did not include any important additional scenes.

The next story arc following Mugen Train is the Entertainment District Arc, which premiered as season 2 episode 8 in December 2021.

The best-rated arc in the series so far

The second season ended on February 13th by completely adapting the entire Entertainment District Arc.

This particular story arc took the world by storm and featured some of the very-best animation that you will ever witness in an anime series.

However, the Entertainment District Arc is now also considered to be the best chapter in the adaptation according to the ratings on MyAnimeList.

  • Demon Slayer: Entertainment District – 8.93/10 with 229,000 reviews
  • Demon Slayer Mugen Train movie – 8.7/10 with 578,000 reviews
