Currently, many animes are getting live-action adaptations, so the Japanese hypothesized that Demon Slayer will also get a film or series soon. However, they questioned whether Koyoharu Gotouge, the manga's author, would be involved in this adaptation.
Rumor Alert – Demon Slayer may have a live-action film on the way
Check it out:
A Japanese critic commented that anime film adaptations, such as The First Slam Dunk and Detective Conan , were box office successes due to the original authors' involvement in the project. So it would be possible to achieve good results in live-actions also following the same process. For example, Eiichiro Oda is the executive producer of the live-action One Piece made by Netflix and his first trailer has already made a good impression on the public.
However, many productions ignore the original actor's involvement in the project as happened in the case of the Orange . Ichigo Takano , the author of Orange, did not reach an agreement with the film's producers, so she asked fans not to associate the live-action with her manga.
There are many companies interested in making an adaptation of Demon Slayer, but perhaps Koyoharu Gotouge won't be involved with the project because she doesn't make public appearances and seems to have been retired since the end of her manga. Therefore, the author's involvement would be a fundamental piece in trying to create a faithful adaptation.
Synopsis:
After defeating Upper Moon 6 in the Entertainment District, Tanjiro needs to go to the blacksmith village to forge a new sword, as his old weapon was damaged. However, on the way, he comes across new demons sent by Muzan, the main villain of the plot, with the mission of killing the blacksmiths. Without blacksmiths, hunters will have no swords to fight demons. So Tanjiro and his friends have to fight the demons of the Upper Moons again to stop them.
Therefore, the 1st season of Demon Slayer premiered in April 2019 , making the film a successful phenomenon. The second season premiered on December 5, 2021 in Japan. Finally, the 3rd season premiered on Crunchyroll after the release of the film To the Swordsmith Village – World Tour on February 2 in Japan.
