The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga series has so far spawned two season of anime and one spin-off film in the same continuity. The second season of the series is also split into two separate arcs, with the first arc being a recompilation of the film. The second arc is then an entirely new batch of episodes, entitled the Entertainment District Arc.
The watch order is fairly simple, as each new instalment in the franchise takes place one after the other, in a chronological order following the order in which they were released. Fans can just make a choice as to whether they want to watch the movie or if they want to watch that arc split up into episodes as the first arc of season 2.
This means you should watch the seasons and the film as follows:
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 1
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train OR Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 2 – Mugen Train Arc
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 2 – Entertainment District Arc
