I really dislike when movies are significantly over 2 hours, something about it just bugs me. It's like every minute over that is an insult to the viewer - the director is saying he does not value other people's time or care about pacing.

>>280298729
I'm going to watch it for free in the comfort of my own home with better food and a bathroom break whenever I want.

Tbf the movie covers a lot more chapters than Mugen Train. 5 more I think.

So:
>regular demons
Chaff killed off en masse
>Lower Moons
Killed off with effort by non-Hashira
>Upper Moons
So far killed off with effort by Hashira.
At what rank do Upper Moons become stronger than Hashira? Are they all roughly on par with Hashira? How did they not lose for CENTURIES up until now? Did the current generation of Hashira get vastly stronger for some reason? Is this ever exaplined?

If I was in charge of writing this screenplay I’d do something completely different from the manga which is trash. I’d use the films to establish just how overwhelmingly strong the Upper Moons and the Infinite Fortress isn’t a stage for the good guys achieving victory because of course they do, but rather just surviving. Working together, asspulls, clever tactics and good luck just lets them SURVIVE. I would kill off a few of the less important Hashira to establish just how dangerous the high-ranking Upper Moons are, and to set an expectation not for feel-good guaranteed victory but a risky position in which the good guys can and will die.

>>280298136 (OP)
I might actually go watch it

>>280298136 (OP)
that's 154 minutes too long.

>>280299251
>At what rank do Upper Moons become stronger than Hashira?
Depends on the Pillar, I would say from 4
>Are they all roughly on par with Hashira
No, everyone from rank 3 will need more than 1 Pillar
> Did the current generation of Hashira get vastly stronger for some reason
Not really, just a few exceptional talents plus power of marks
> Is this ever explained?
Rock is exceptional, Muchiro is a descendant of upper moon 2/first breath user family. Both were powered with marks, which hadn't happened for centuries.

>>280299251
>At what rank do Upper Moons become stronger than Hashira?
No Hashira can ever hope to defeat an Upper Moon without help or a boost like a Mark, which is rare. Even the weakest one Gyutaro and Daki would have killed Tengen if he was solo.
>Are they all roughly on par with Hashira?
With Marks yea, but it would still take at least two Hashira to beat 4 and above.
How did they not lose for CENTURIES up until now? Did the current generation of Hashira get vastly stronger for some reason? Is this ever exaplined?
IIRC Ubuyashiki said the current line up is the finest since the feudal era. Current gen of Hashira are all exceptional.

lmao. 2 hours and 35 minutes? For Part 1 of a trilogy? That’s not a movie, that’s a hostage situation in an Aniplex theater, rofl. For a film that’s literally an arc from a TV anime, that runtime is borderline absurd
And no, it's not 'epic' like the underage kids (who makes up the majority of Demon Slayer's fanbase) think it is, it's bloated. Unless this shit is pulling Return of the King and Avengers Endgame-level climatic payoffs (it won’t), this is just overextended content to justify theatrical pricing and "movie event" marketing

TV pacing + movie runtime = fatigue
You’re still working with TV storyboard pacing and episodic structure. That’s fine on streaming. In a theater? That’s drag city. If it’s not written to sustain cinematic flow for 155 minutes, you’re going to feel every second. Mugen Train was tight (117 mins), digestible, and rewatch-friendly. Infinity Castle Part 1 is too fucking long

People aren’t going back for multiple showings of a nearly 3-hour movie unless the pacing is god-tier and this ain’t that
Not to mention, longer runtime means fewer screenings per day = lower ceiling for box office. Unless this thing is pulling Oppenheimer or Endgame levels of cultural hype (it’s not), you’re just limiting throughput

I get this feeling that Aniplex are cramming this runtime in to say 'see? it’s a real movie!', even though it's still fundamentally anime episodes with theatrical lighting and music. That extra runtime isn’t adding value, it’s padding the illusion of cinematic weight, lol

TL;DR: It’s gonna hurt the box office, especially in Japan where shorter, tighter movies dominate rewatch culture. This runtime is going to backfire

Hello Jeremy

>>280299862
Ufotable is doing their absolute best to milk their money cow's udders

>>280299251
Just plot contrivances. This gen of hashira are considered far above average, but even upper moon 6 could solo probably any of them except stone (without demon slayer marks activating). The top 3 upper moons all take multiple hashira or equivalent to defeat.

I generally split the hashira into 4 groups. Shinobu at the bottom, then average Fire/Water/Love/Mist, then above average Wind/Snake/Sound, then Stone at the top. Sound couldn't beat 6 by himself without a mark or support.

>>280299862
Wait, is this true? So the longer runtime is nothing more but a detriment and it'll just hurt the box office?

>>280300063
I would put Love in the above average desu.

>>280299862
Translation: Please PLEASE let this movie fail!

>>280299862
You could look at it as them learning their lesson from three 2 hour movies for all of HF, which was fucking awful. But really the issue is adapting long stories into movies at all, it's just stupid to force the medium change that way. Even if HF had a 4th 2 hour movie it still wouldn't have been good.

>>280298136 (OP)
Why is this runtime a bad thing exactly? You guys do still have an attention span right?

>>280299862
>Unless this thing is pulling Oppenheimer or Endgame levels of cultural hype (it’s not)
Imagine simping for westoid slop

>>280300131
Yup. 100%
Unless you're James Cameron or Christopher Nolan, a 2h35m runtime isn't a flex, it's actually just a liability
Longer runtime = fewer showings per day
Simple math. Theaters only have so many screens and so many hours per day. A 2h35m film + trailers + cleanup = about 3 hours per showing
That’s 3-4 showings max per screen, versus 5-6 for something like Mugen Train (117 mins)
Result: less ticket volume, less money. Simple film economics 101.

Mugen Train thrived on rewatch culture. People watched it multiple times because it was fast and tight. Infinity Castle Part 1 being long for a set-up film just means it's one and done for many viewers
Japanese audiences especially prefer shorter, efficient movies

Also, Demon Slayer isn't a globally dominant franchise like Avengers: Endgame where you expect a long runtime and mass payoff after decades of capeshit build up
Most people don't want to sit through 2.5 hours of what is structurally still TV anime disguised as film (Aniplex will absolutely release it for TV/streaming later)

That length just gives the feeling of "it's dragging" unless the pacing is immaculate. And we both know Ufotable ain't no Nolan in that department. They animate beautifully, but their storytelling rhythm is shit (see FSN HF) and not build for movies

Wrong because Heaven's Feel is perfection in the original source, unlike kusomanga like kimetsu.

Yeah it’s over, this websites done

Ufo will make it so that Gyokko has survived in the anime timeline to complete the new Upper Moon line up.

Now there may be a possibility on sunrise countdown being the third movie if they are all this long.

>>280302057
>There is no solid evidence to suggest that being true at all.
lmao. Go ask any theater owner or distributor: runtime is literally baked into box office projections
Longer runtimes = fewer screenings = less revenue potential PER SCREEN. That's basic theater math, not a conspiracy or some headcanon
You think cinemas can just stretch time to fit more 3-hour movies in a day ?

Want proof ? Here's your 'proof'
Mugen Train vs Infinity Castle (by runtime)
>Mugen Train: 117 minutes = 5-6 showings/day
>Infinity Castle: 155 minutes = 3 showings/day
That's a potential 40% reduction in daily ticket sales per screen just by runtime alone

Want more 'proof' ?
Oppenheimer had a massive opening, but IMAX chains openly said its 3-hour length limited its number of daily showings. That was Christopher Nolan, with huge prestige and anticipation.
Now imagine Infinity Castle, with anime-tier pacing, no finale payoff, and being only Part 1
Theaters want turnover. If a movie makes them less per screen-hour, they give it fewer screens or worse time slots over time. That's not an opinion, that's how exhibition economics works

>>280300131
The long runtime is solely because of the amount of content they're adapting. They're doing like a few dozen chapters per movie.

>>280302517
Did you forget the part where it will screen in way more theaters than Mugen train? You want this to bomb so badly its adorable.

>>280299862
Why do we always get some third world salesfag posting its diary in these threads?

>>280302266
only Zohakuten so he can fuck Mitsuri up the ass

>>280302629
lol. Imagine unironically thinking 'more theaters' cancels out screening limitations like it's some Pokemon type matchup
You don't understand how screenings per theater work and it shows

More theaters =/= more showtimes. You can put a movie in 10,000 theaters, but if it only gets 3 showings per day due to runtime it's still capped
That's why Oppenheimer needed IMAX exclusivity and a Nolan cult to smash box office and even then, theaters complained about its runtime

Also, Infinity Castle's 452 theaters isn't even a flex
Superman and Fantastic Four are getting comparable or more (Toho aren't playing faves) and unlike anime, Western blockbusters don't burn out in Week 2. Stop pretending 'more theaters = box office domination'
The Flash opened on 4,234 screens in America, it bombed
Morbius opened wide and it also bombed

Theaters are distribution potential, not box office guarantees
Especially when you’ve got a bloated runtime + no finale payoff + a competitive summer slate

>>280303198
Its not going to bomb, no matter how many walls of text you post. and itll run laps around MHA once again.

>>280303359
Cool story, bro. Never said it's going to bomb entirely, I said it’s going to make much less than Mugen Train
Which is basic economics when
>the economy is down (worse than Greece)
>competition is up
>runtime is bloated
>casual rewatch appeal is gone
>and the film is literally just Part 1
Also, Demon Slayer can run laps around MHA all it wants, doesn't mean it has any staying power. That's why it's stuck in theater jail for the next 3 years
Aniplex despeately milks this IP because it ran out of content lol. When the anime ends the franchise dies
MHA will outlive it

No one post the ratings of the recent episodes

>>280298136 (OP)
Holy shit, this must be the longest runtime I've heard an Anime movie get. Not complaining though, I've always felt Anime movies have fucked up pacing due to the runtime constraints so the more the better. I guess putting Muzan's final battle + epilogue in the last one is a real possibility now

>>280306678
EVA 3.0 was around that long too but yeah, a nutty runtime. Im excited though.

>>280306678
>thinks pacing is improved with bloated runtime
The big brain takes from modern movie watchers. Anime adaptation movie pacing is always fucked because they are adapting shit that was never meant for the movie format. It doesn't matter how long or short they are. There are tons of animated nip movies with original stories that work well.

>>280306678
Longer = better is a cope for bad structure, not good storytelling
And all it tells me is that Demon Slayer fans knows nothing about movie production

Pacing isn't fixed by runtime
If anything, anime adaptations with longer runtimes tend to drag harder because they're stretching out weekly-structured material to justify a 'cinema event'
That’s not fixing pacing, that's pouring molasses on it

You're not watching a movie written for a 155-minute arc. You're watching a TV episode arc trying to cosplay as Return of the King
Unless they completely rework the flow (which Ufotable historically hasn't done well, see Heaven's Feel and Kara no Kyoukai), it's just going to be drawn-out exposition dumps, silent pauses, overextended monologues, and maybe 20 minutes of real action
People will feel that in the seats

And lol @ 'putting Muzan’s battle in the last one' like it was ever in doubt. That was already the structure. Infinity Castle is its own arc, so is the Sunrise Countdown. They're just bloating it out to three movies because Aniplex wants three box office paydays
That runtime ain't there for pacing though, it's there for padding
