It seems 'Kimetsu no Yaiba' (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) may be getting an anime as well. A domain site (kimetsu.com) was registered recently.

Plot Summary

Quote:

Since ancient times, rumors have abounded of man-eating demons lurking in the woods. Because of this, the local townsfolk never venture outside at night. Legend has it that a demon slayer also roams the night, hunting down these bloodthirsty demons. For young Tanjirou, these rumors will soon to become his harsh reality...

Ever since the death of his father, Tanjirou has taken it upon himself to support his family. Although their lives may be hardened by tragedy, they've found happiness. But that ephemeral warmth is shattered one day when Tanjirou finds his family slaughtered and the lone survivor, his sister Nezuko, turned into a demon. To his surprise, however, Nezuko still shows signs of human emotion and thought...

Thus begins Tanjirou's quest to fight demons and turn his sister human again.

Oh man this is nice. I quite like this manga. But I've already read so much of the manga that I wonder if it's worth dropping it in favour of the anime. If it's one cour then probably not.

Guardian Enzo · 2018-05-01, 03:42

OK, some potential for not sucking here.

WingedAccelerator · 2018-05-01, 03:51

While obviously my initial thoughts are like Yes! Yes! Yes!, wouldn't this mean that it would more than likely premiere in the Fall season? Possibly with Neverland and Hinomaru Zumou? Would WSJ-Shueisha just pack a season with 3 new anime adaptations from their titles?

OH&S · 2018-05-01, 03:51

This is just great. With the Neverland announcement a few days back my two favourite new WSJ series are finally getting animated! Both are quality series; though their strengths lie in different areas.

The One Above God · 2018-05-01, 08:50

Could this (or perhaps Neverland) be the new project Ufotable would be working on? They're apparently working on a Shueisha title and they'll soon announce what it is. Of course, it may be something from outside of WSJ, but the possibility is still there that it's a WSJ title.

WingedAccelerator · 2018-05-01, 09:18

Is the 2 female seiyuu they keep talking about attached to the Ufotable project as well? Cause I really, really, really don't want Tanjirou to be voiced by a girl. Based on the number, Yaiba would be more likely, since Neverland should be a trio, but based on the actual seiyuu, they could very well voice 10-13 years old characters.

Guardian Enzo · 2018-05-01, 09:35

Could be this one, but I don’t see Neverland as a ufotable series.

Wandering Soul · 2018-05-01, 21:12

After Promised Neverland got an adaption, it was only a matter of time until this series got one too. The series usually doesn't generate a lot of discussion, but I think it's still worth a read and hopefully the anime will be worth watching.

Goblin Slayer, Hinamatsuri, Hinomaru Zumou, promisef Neverland and now Kimetsu no Yaiba.
2018 is truly the year of anime harvest.

Anime is coming.

Confirmed to be produced by ufotable.

EasyGo-er · 2018-05-30, 23:40

I'm glad ufotable is going with the more traditional animation and straying away from their usual aesthetics. Definitely love all the little details so I'm hoping they're gonna do justice to them like the clothes patterns and all in animation.

EDIT: Replaced with a better key visual

LG-MAX 2.o · 2018-05-30, 23:45

good visual, just do not understand if that 10 means that debut in October.

This is like a dream come true.

Guardian Enzo · 2018-05-31, 00:22

So the rumors were true, eh? Always figured this show made more sense than Neverland.

That's great news. I'm looking forward to this adaption even more.

Probably talking about the time the official site will be up.
They'll be doing an event for Machi Asobi in October and that's where the first rumour about them doing a project for a Shueisha property started.
