Hiromu Arakawa’s Daemons of the Shadow Realm Premieres Globally on Crunchyroll Saturday

A two‑cour, 24‑episode run signals a steady weekly release that should allow early manga arcs to get full treatment.

Overview

  • Cunchyroll’s simulcast will make episode 1 available shortly after the Japanese TV debut, with the rollout landing on Saturday, April 4, 2026 for most regions.
  • New episodes air in Japan in a late‑night 23:30 JST slot, a window that often hosts darker series and enables near‑simultaneous streaming overseas.
  • The first season is officially set at 24 episodes across two consecutive cours, running weekly from April to about mid‑September 2026 without a seasonal break.
  • Studio BONES leads the adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa’s manga, with Masahiro Andō directing and theme music by Vaundy and yama.
  • Pre‑release coverage indicates this initial run is expected to reach roughly chapter 31 of the manga, spanning several early arcs.
