HIDIVE is kicking off its Spring 2025 simulcast season with the highly anticipated anime Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho. John Ledford, President of HIDIVE, shared his excitement, saying, “This series blends fantasy, action, adventure, and drama, offering fans an epic journey that spans centuries.”
The official plot centers on Jinta, a wandering orphan in the Edo period, who becomes the guardian of a shrine maiden named Itskihime. When a mysterious demon warns him of a coming Demon God, Jinta embarks on a journey through history, from the Edo to Heisei periods, struggling with his role as a demon hunter and his sword.
HIDIVE, known for its diverse anime library, saw massive success in 2023 with Oshi no Ko, which broke records with its premiere and became the platform’s top series launch. Oshi no Ko continued its success in 2024, with a third season expected in 2026.
