Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village Arc just completed its third season, and the finale once again demonstrated the immense popularity of this anime. Crunchyroll, the leading streaming platform, played a significant role in showcasing its widespread appeal.
The latest episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arc premiered in Japan earlier today. However, fans from other countries had to wait for Crunchyroll to release the anime. Unfortunately, many fans had trouble watching it because Crunchyroll’s servers were not ready for the high demand. The website struggled for over an hour. Some users couldn’t see the episode at all, while others could only watch it in lower quality. And for some unlucky fans, the search bar didn’t work when they tried to find Demon Slayer.
Is Crunchyroll Down?
The ending of the Demon Slayer Season 3 Swordsmith Village Arc caused a major crash on the anime streaming service Crunchyroll for numerous users. When the episode was released, Crunchyroll posted a message on its social media to alert users about the technical problems the platform was facing.
Some users may be experiencing issues using Crunchyroll right now, but our team is aware and is working to fix the situation as soon as possible! Thank you for your patience.

Crashing of Crunchyroll’s servers was rare, but not unheard of, especially when we talked about bigger titles such as Attack on Titan or the aforementioned Demon Slayer. The website slowly stabilized, and some users were finally able to access the episode.
