I hate this trend (that this series really kicked off) of adapting canon material as movies instead of just making TV anime

Movies are more profitable.

Sadly

>in the west
Who cares?

At least your only 2nd season isn't a 3rd movie adaption where the first 2 movie adaptions were recaps of the 1st season and the actual 2nd season takes place after the 3rd movie. Who the fuck would have known this if they weren't following news article of this series from the beginning? Its a dumb trend regardless.

>>280076757
Just follow release dates lmao. The MiA adaptation is incredible, and its slow release schedule has nothing at all to do with the studio dragging their feet or milking the IP like ufo.

>>280076199
You will never be japanese.

Blame piracy. Studios can't profit off TV and streaming since people just torrent shows whenever possible.

>The MiA adaptation is incredible
Season 2 wasn't.

>>280077598
Blame streaming services for making piracy the more convenient option.

>>280077598
This>>280077758 Wasn't a problem until streaming came along.

What chapter do we think the first movie is stopping at? 157 or 158?

>>280077758
>>280077820
Piracy was always the more convenient option, unless you think going to Suncoast and paying $30 for a DVD with 4 episodes was easier than just downloading the whole show to your computer.

>>280077598
Piracy is extremely risky in Japan with insane laws and punishments for it. It's really not an issue, unless the studio is prioritizing the internation market, which no nipponese studio would ever admit to.

>it's your service that makes me want shit for free, I'm not poor!
Gotta love poorfag cope.

>>280078130
Poor, Rich, doesn’t matter. Free shit is free shit.

Demon Slayer's getting the SnK treatment of dragging out a story that's actually not very long.

>>280075832 (OP)
Think about it.
Make a movie -> Make money from theaters -> later make a season of anime largely using those movie scenes -> people call the animation "movie level"
OR
Make a season of anime -> get less money -> make a movie later -> People are underwhelmed by the good but not "movie level" animation

>>280078111
It made it more streamline for the actual pirates to distribute, obviously there would be nothing different on the surface.

pouring one out for these niggas

>>280078236
>people call the animation "movie level"
People have already been calling Ufotable's tv anime movie level.

>>280078227
Just because the anime committee was retarded in calling s4 the final season when it wasn't doesn't mean SnK was dragged out.

Did you see it?

>>280078767
This means that it would at least run to chapter 157

Actually, it was Kizu
