A 4th Season covering the "Hashira Training" arc was announced following the end of the third season finale. It is set to premiere on May 12, 2024, with a one-hour episode.
I have watched all the season 1 - 3 and i like the pace on how the manga was adapted into anime. Compared to mange, the anime is much solid. My own view is that the Kyojuro that die in season 2, i hope that he can be revived. I really like how he fight despite knowing that he will die fighting. He give it his all and his death will always be in my memory. The 2nd season was a bit draggy due to the entertainment district whereby a lot of fillers but the fight as usual was fantastic against the upper demon #6. It shows how Tanjiro have level up and able to use other techniques then the water skills that he had. Her sister also level up, i think by not drinking blood, her sister have also evolved levelling up her skills and also techniques. Season 3 i believe they cut away alot of fillers and go straight to the battles with the upper demons #4 and #5. There were a lot of strategies used and team work which signifies unity will always produce better results then a single demon working alone. I wonder why all the demons do not want to work together. I guess this is how demons work. I am definitely looking forward to the Hashira Training. I hope that there will be further demons fight.
