The TV version of the movie ran for seven episodes, including an original episode, 70 new scenes, new music tracks, new opening and ending animation, new songs and episode previews.

 

Yuki Kajiura previously shared the following comments about the performance:

 

“Congratulations on the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2023. It is a great honor for me to be a part of the music that colors the wonderful film “Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train” and to perform the music at the award ceremony. I hope the audience will enjoy my performance,” said Yuki Kajiura.

 

You can watch the Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train anime film and all of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba TV anime right here on Crunchyroll, which describes the series like so:

 

It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kindhearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself.

 

Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.
