Why is Demon slayer not on Crunchyroll for many? Absence explained

Demon Slayer season 3 is arguably the most popular anime right now, with four episodes released so far. Episodes are being dropped on a weekly basis, and it is no surprise that the series is available on numerous streaming platforms. As is the case with most popular anime titles, the series is also being streamed on Crunchyroll globally.

However, there seem to have been a few complaints with regards to the aforementioned streaming platform. Viewers are reportedly unable to view the latest episode of the series, and fans who attempted to watch some of the older episodes were unable to find Demon Slayer in Crunchyroll’s catalog.

Given that it is unlikely that Crunchyroll has removed Demon Slayer from their catalog, chances are that this could be a glitch in the User Interface that could have caused this problem. Let us take a look at some of the fixes that the anime community has come up with on forums like Reddit.
