The stream is happening on YouTube, on the Aniplex channel. However, this channel is region-locked to Japan.
The stream is also happening onAbema TV, the TV streaming and VOD service owned by Cygames. If you’ve never heard of this site before, its anime channels are actually region-locked to Japan as well. In other words, you won’t be able to watch theKimetsu no YaibaYuukaku-henstream through normal means.
What to expect on the live stream, trailer predictions
Officially, Aniplex only stated in its press release the the stream will include “new information”. Personally, I believe the stream should most notably feature a new trailer, and introduce some of the seiyuu voicing the new characters who will appear in season 2.
Even if the stream is region-locked, the officialKimetsuanime Twitter should be sharing the news as well. So I’ll be here to translate what gets announced. So stay tuned on DualShockers. You can also reach out to me on Twitter@A_iyane07.
Simultaneously with the launch of season 2 of the anime in October, Aniplex, CyberConnect2 and Sega will also launchDemon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba The Hinokami Chronicles. The game releases on October 15 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Steam. It’s an arena 3D fighter with several demon slayer corps playable characters. None of the demons are playable but we’ll get to fight some of them in the Story Adventure mode featuring Tanjiro. Read more on the game withour past coverage.
