How to watch Demon Slayer in order: a guide for newcomers
Watching Demon Slayer in order is way more complicated than it should be. Take a deep breath: there are three seasons, two movies, and some of it is skippable. So you can't just watch it from start to finish otherwise you'll be watching some things twice and missing out on other things.
