Demon Slayer: Mugen Train: R-Rated

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train will be rated R for “violence and gruesome visuals” when it opens in theaters across the United States next month after smashing box office records in Japan. The film is unmistakably violent, according to Kotaku, but it was only given a PG-12 certificate in Japan, which is equal to PG-13 in the United States.

Aniplex of America and Funimation have confirmed a collaboration for the North American release of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which will be released in theaters on April 23.

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, is the sequel to the ongoing anime series, which adapts the iconic manga series by Koyoharu Gotouge and follows a young boy named Tanjiro who meets an elite group of demon slayers in order to find a cure for his sister after she is transformed into a demon.
