Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle is finally streaming on Crunchyroll.
Despite it being the highest-grossing anime movie of all time, it’s been a heck of a wait for Infinity Castle to be available online. The latest Demon Slayer movie was originally released in Japan on July 18, 2025, before expanding to North American theaters in mid-September. Now, it’s available to both Crunchyroll subscribers and for digital purchase through PVOD platforms.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Is Finally Streaming
Crunchyroll offers a seven-day free trial and otherwise has plans starting at $9.99. If you aren’t interested in another subscription, the first Infinity Castle movie is also available to purchase digitally for $19.99 through Prime Video.
Infinity Castle currently stands as the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time, having crossed over $790 million worldwide. It quickly became the highest-grossing anime movie in the United States, a record that had been previously held by Pokémon: The First Movie for over 25 years.
It wasn’t too surprising that the movie was a major contributor to a record-breaking year for the Japanese box office. Another particularly big anime movie that saw success across international markets was Chainsaw Man: The Movie Reze Arc, which came to Crunchyroll this past April.
Rafael Motamayor reviewed Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part I for IGN, and while he did take issue with the use of flashbacks, he also praised “some good fights that provide satisfying payoffs to character storylines years in the making.”
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle directly follows the anime series’ fourth season, and is the first installment in a trilogy of movies intended to adapt the final arcs from Koyoharu Gotouge’s original manga. According to Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini, the second Infinity Castle movie is currently in “active production,” though a release date has not yet been announced.
Crunchyroll itself has undergone quite a few changes over the past year. The anime streaming service quietly removed its free ad-supported streaming tier late last year before hiking prices this past March. More recently, the service announced that it will be restricting access to its official merch storefront, the Crunchyroll Store, to Mega and Ultimate Fan subscribers.
On that note, the Demon Slayer movie is releasing on Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow, on July 29, but only in Japan. The alignment of that date with the streaming release does not seem like a coincidence, so here’s hoping we hear more about a (widely available) DVD release in North America soon.
