What the FUCK is WRONG with this fucking still?
I've seen fucking fan animations with better stills.
Why is its trailer so much more inferior to the Chainsaw Man movie trailer when Ufotable supposedly has a better schedule?
Don't get me wrong: I fucking HATE Chainsaw Man. I'm talking purely from an animation point of view.

>>280713681
Don't know what to tell you, the movie looks like pure sex going by the leaks.
Akaza vs U&G is the best thing ufo has put out.

nobody cares

Can't wait to see this animated

>>280713825
But you clearly do.

>>280713834
Kanao is a proper lady and as such she's wearing NOTHING.

>>280713800
You've GOT to be kidding me. The held that fucking disgusting Zenitsu still for 2.5 FUCKING SECONDS (roughly)!
Meanwhile, the Chainsaw Man movie trailer had THIS highly detailed cut ANIMATED ON FUCKING ONES (24 unique frames per second)!
Demon Slayer in its entirety doesn't have a SINGLE CUT animated on ones. Even animation on twos is pretty rare for Demon Slayer.
Meanwhile, the Chainsaw Man trailer alone has MULTIPLE, HIGHLY detailed cuts animated on ones!

>>280711773 (OP)
Sounds like the trilogy is the end and there wont be a Muzan movie
Damn, I assumed each UM would get a movie and then the Muzan fight would be the final fourth non-IF movie.
Ah well. I should have remembered how small Douma's fight was in the manga.

i like kimetsu no yaiba

>>280714010
same

>>280713994
>there wont be a Muzan movie
? that's the third one
movie 2 will end where Muzan awakens and kills all the fodder slayers

>>280713994
I wish they had done something else, but considering this movie koku is basically getting 2 hours to himself and his drama.
And if it has the same effort into it as Akaza vs Giyuu then it's going to be the sex to end all sex.
Movie three will probably just be countdown to sunrise.

>>280713853
That's the opposite of proper!

>>280714071
No, it's just too japanese.
Also I like that she integrates more western clothing in her considering it is THE period where girls started using western style clothing.

>>280714067
man i'm glad they gave Giyuu the fucking show
also love the way they did the transparent world
and Akaza's final fucking attack was beautiful

>>280714122
Gayuu deserves it after getting cucked for so long.
BUT Akaza steals the show, fucking beautiful attacks can't wait to see it on the big screen.

Remember nerds. One Piece still got a Hollywood live-action, it got the red carpet treatment while Demon Slayer desperately yearns for Hollywood's. That's why they tried to submit Mugen Train into the Oscars and were rejected on record time.
>"W-Why would you want a shitty live-action anyway?"
Because Hollywood live-action means you graduated from otaku niche into full-blown global phenomenon. That's why, you mouth-breathing reaction clip consumers. I'd be clear with you fags.
>Not all anime gets a live-action.
>VERY few get one with hundreds of millions in backing.
>Almost none get one where the original creator has executive power.
>And ONE, One Piece, got all of that and crushed it.
Hollywood live-action = mainstream cultural arrival. It means Western executives, the greediest, most soulless lords of capital, looked at your story and said:
>"This is worth hundreds of millions. This can dominate TV. This has universal appeal."
Meanwhile, Demon Slayer?
>Ufotable carried it.
>Aniplex pathetically begged the Academy to give Mugen Train an Oscar.
>They were fucking laughed out of the building.
>No nomination.
>No shortlist.
>No buzz.
>Nothing.
Because outside of its anime hype, Demon Slayer isn't shit to the wider world. It's an emotionally manipulative, formulaic shounen with no staying power once the glitter wears off. Demon Slayer cannot exist without anime and it's nothing without the Ufotable miracle machine. The manga is mid, the writing is paper-thin, the pacing is garbage, and the characters don't carry themselves without music, voice acting, and sakuga.

>>280714150
You used this argument with MHA's live action, how fast you just changed names and called it a day.
>it got the red carpet treatment
of a netflix series.

>>280714150
Fuck off, c*mskin. No one wants your disgusting western slop.
This is an ANIME and MANGA board.

>>280714197
>c*mskin.
He wishes.

One Piece sells less than half of the volumes printed. 500M printed = 250M sold.
Meanwhile Kimetsu no Yaiba is always out of stock in most stores. 220M printed = 200M sold.
Kimetsu no Yaiba almost has as many volumes sold as One Piece despite having less than one fifth of its volume count.

>>280714150
One Piece live action got a lower budget and quieter marketing than the Avatar netflix show, let that sink in.

>>280713898
I'm not in the mood for console war shit, try tomorrow

>>280713898
>Kimetsu trailer
Here are the characters you all love, come watch the movie
>CSM trailer
We know s1 looked like garbage, but look the animation is good now

>>280714163
Still got a live-action movie backed by Hollywood with MILLIONS of dollars at play and Hollywood doesn't fuck around with money. They don't dump $200 million dollars into franchise corpses, they bet heavy on legacy IPs with global reach and decades of cultural capital.

You really think any studio would drop $25M per episode, more than The Mandalorian, GoT, The Witcher, Stranger Things, on a series no one gives a fuck about anymore? Demon Slayer can't even get greenlit for a Western adaptation, because it has no legs without its anime. It's just a sword boy crying about his sister in a box in a sea of other shonen. There's nothing unique to sell once the anime polish is gone.

IF you do get a live-action, expect a shitty, low-budget Japanese TV drama with wooden dialogue, cringe-level overacting, idol-tier casting, and visual effects powered by Microsoft Paint. You ever watch a Japanese live-action adaptation? Shit feels like high school theater with $200 and a fog machine. There's zero scale, no international weight and no vision.

Ufotable was a fluke lightning strike. You cannot replicate that energy outside of that studio. And no one wants to try because the source material isn't strong enough without visual cocaine to carry itself.

>>280714449

Impossible, Akaza does not fight women

>>280714135
>>280714122
I mean, he’s the pillar poster boy, it’s the first time we get to see his full potential. And he gets even more spotlight during Muzans battle climax.

>>280715643
yes he does
he just doesn't eat them

Ahhhhhh the weekend isng even over yet and Im itching to see it! 2 months is too long fuck!

>>280715643
kek. I really hope this irritating cunt licking simp gets a BRUTAL death as an anime-only.

>>280715928
Anon get out of this thread now.

>>280715855
Proof? He won’t fight nor eat them, most likely scenario is that he will just evade the fight.

Wake up to see more walls of text

>>280715999
i think it might have been in one of the light novels
i can't remember
all i remember is the discussions about it however many years ago
fuck it's been years since the end of the manga

>According to the special booklet handed out in theaters, the production of the (Akaza’s Return) movie took 3.5 years!!

>>280716314
i hope that also included the planning of the other 2 movies
and some of the storyboarding

how much yenbillies?

>>280717815

Does Aimer song share the same melody line as Akaza's theme?

Watched it today.
I really recommend you to watch this show with IMAX.
I even felt it might be designed for IMAX.
That was one of the best movie theater experiences in my life.

>>280721844
If it is really missing then it is potential material for an eventual TV Cut extra scene, like how it happened with the Mugen Train when it got converted into its tv edition, some scenes were expanded, or outright given, the inner consciousness world Enmu's pawns invaded were expanded in particular, adapting panels not previously shown in the movie version.

If you told anyone six years ago that some Shounen Jump manga would be the longest and most successful project ufotable would animate for, and not the Fate Series, they would call you crazy.

Why the hell are people so eager to pirate it?
I saw it today in cinema in Tokyo, and I can say for sure — this movie is built for the theatrical experience.
You need to see it in a cinema, at least for your first watch.
Can’t you people seriously just wait only two months?

>>280723254
No, I can't wait. Aniplex should have done shorter gap between the Japanese and International releases.

It's not like I won't watch it later on theaters anyway, I did the same for the Mugen Train.

>>280723139
It's perfectly reasonable. Literally all Fate adaptations expect you to know the source material to fully understand what's going on. Shounenslop on the other hand has literally no barrier of entry which is why especially third worlders love it.

>>280723254
It's fucking ridiculous that cinema in itself still exists as a concept in this day and age. I'm not paying to fucking leave my house and sit in a theater full of fat, sweaty nerds hollering throughout the movie.

>>280723254
I shall not gaze upon leaks until the theater release.

>>280723139
That’s not the case with KnY, though.
Nasu Kinoko already said eight years ago that KnY was one of his favorites.
I can’t really explain it logically, but something about KnY just feels oddly compatible with the Type-Moon universe.

>>280723254
the quality is actually quite good (for a camrip)
if you have a good setup, it won't change much from a theater.

I got a complete bootleg version of this movie today.

>>280723471
This movie is built to give you a full 100% experience in the theater.
If you’ve got a massive screen at home, top-tier audio setup, and a pristine rip of the film — fine, maybe that works for you.
(Still nowhere near a real theater experience, though.)
But burning your first watch on some low-res, shaky cam pirate version on a tiny screen? That’s just a damn waste.

>>280723800
Okay fed, tell it to your barber.

>>280723800
I agree, ChatGPT.

>>280723570
Simple, both are written by women

>>280723471
Unless you have a dedicated man cave with a 120 inches MiniLED tv adorned with a twenty four speakers (18.2.4) home theater setup, then the basic advantage that a theater possesses of watching stuff on a giant screen won't ever completely die out, it might become a niche experience.

However, if the Micro LED technology for people building their own 200 inches screens at home becomes cheaper a few decades from now on then theaters might actually be on their way out.

>>280723853
Samurai Remnant producer mentioned in an interview that he met Nasu's wife. Confirmed yuri.

>>280723895
That's just the psuedonym for Takeuchi. Nasu has made him his bitchhusband since '00

let's not pretend that Fate is any better than Shounenslop though

So movie 1 has 3 fights
movie 2 will have 3 fights
and movie 3... will have 2 fights?
Naw... they should add a anime only fight

>>280724875
Movie 1 3
Movie 2 3
Movie 3 1 with two phases.

>>280724875
Well, the one in movie 3 will be the longest so there's no need. Btw what are the 3 fights in movie 2?

Nakime's infinity fortress is just insane.

>>280724972
The anime went way overboard with it, in the manga it didn't look anywhere near that "infinite". It shoots up her blood demon art to seem like the biggest piece of demon magic by a long shot.

>>280724972
It's going to be cool to see how they make such an insane space blow up when headpop'd

>>280725046
It always was.
The anime just properly showed but in the manga the
>infinite space she has absolute control of and can teleport you wherever you want
was always the toppest of tiers as far as blood magic went.
She legitimately can't lose unless you cheat.

>>280724961
Douma and Kanao/Inosuke, Cyclops girl and Mitsuri/Obanai, and Kokushibo battle royale.
DKT fight lasted all of a few pages in the manga, and nothing consequential happens in terms of deaths. Even Muzan's fight is kind of lame, bro just turns into a baby and seethes to death. They could stretch it out, but they won't make him kill anyone. The audiences YEARN for an UM 5 fight with the retired hashira.

>>280724972
Tsutomu Nihei collab

>>280725111
Ufo is going to fix THE SHIT out of Muzan's fight.
The complete rework in choreo it needs.

>>280724875
>>280724919
>>280724961

Movie 3 has 3 fights.

Muzan vs everyone
Muzan vs Yoriichi
Muzanjiro

Unless it ends on Muzanjiro reveal to hype up the TV version secret last episode.

>>280725046
Almost as crazy as transforming matter into fish.

>>280725157
Probably. From what I've seen they massively improved Akaza v Giyu. In terms of power ranking Giyu was always undervalued because of that fight, but now he actually seems like he's top 3 hashira.

>>280725111
What's the confirmation of both UM 2 and 1 happening in movie 2?

>>280725202
I hope they overproduce Obanai's too since he has a pretty big role in the movie and his combos with Tangerine looked amazing in color.

>>280723800
>muh first watch
I read the manga, I already know how the movie goes.

>>280725260
Talking about that
>looking FUCKING GOOD

>>280725111
>bro just turns into a baby and seethes to death
kek nice description

>>280725253
the only way they were ever going to be different from the obvious way they're doing it would be if they had rearranged some stuff, like not having shinobu-doma in movie 1, or moving zenitsu to movie 2. Since they didn't rearrange anything and made a longer movie, there's really no wiggle room for what has to be in movie 2.

>>280723800
Both involve vampires

>>280723139
well fate is absolute dogshite, no matter how good the studio is, if the original material is trash then the result can never be more than well presented garbage

>>280725253
This movie adapted 17 chapters in two hours and thirty minutes, there's about only 22 chapters left till Kokushibo's death, the second movie could do all of that if aims for another 2 hours but forty to fifty minutes runtime.

>>280725373
The movie could just be shorter.

>>280725253
Pacing and logic, really.
You think Inosuke and Kanao will get 120min all for themselves?
There's an alternate timeline where Zenitsu fight gets moved to the 2nd movie and we get the Ultimate Sidecharacter Movie, but that scenario is not available anymore.

>>280725447
>this shit will get solved in 30 minutes
>the other 2 hours are koku seething to death and bloodline extermination

>>280725447
all the confused parents that took their kids to three movies realizing that the pig head guy was a human wearing a mask the whole time

>>280725470
probably 50 minutes, really.
Inosuke backstory has as much extra content in Wani's notes as Akaza's. We'll probably see Douma killing his father and grandmother.

>>280725202
>Akaza v Giyu
Akaza is the one of the strongest demons in existence, and Giyu is a human. Why can Giyu even FIGHT, period, with Akaza? The very concept of there being a “battle” instead of just a murder should be absurd on its face. The only possible way forward is to admit that Slayers are completely superhuman with supernatural powers.

>>280725633
>blah blah blah
THE INDOMINABLE HUMAN SPIRIT!

>>280725633
tanjiro cut a 10 ton boulder in half with a thin metal sword in the second episode, so shit it's superhuman

How was Akaza’s backstory? That’s the main thing I care about the movie because it’s the best backstory in the series

>>280725633
Well. Slays fight with such speed, precision and grace that their moves look like thunder, water and fire. They ARE pretty incredible.

>>280725776
Extended version and all.

>>280725633
>The only possible way forward is to admit that Slayers are completely superhuman with supernatural powers.

That's the premise of the series since the likes of Muichiro and Gyomei were introduced as supremelly gifted genetic superhumans.

KnY's Japan is closer to the world of early Dragon Ball, where people like Mutenroshi and TaoPaiPai exist, than real life Japan.

The demon's ultimate advantage was never supposed to be raw stats (though they excell in that regard as well), but hax and limitless regen.

>>280725776
I don't speak nihongo but the acting was pretty intense
I'm perversely interested to see how patheticly the faggy theater kid English dub fucks it up
>>280725811
The only extension I saw was some kind of Tokugawa shogunate officials briefly appearing, which I assumed was how they substituted the "all records were burned because it was too absurd" narration

>>280725776
Ishida is just fucking perfect as Hakuji.

>The Infinity Castle pamphlet sold in theatres after the movie premiere confirms that the production of the film took 3.5 years.

>>280725816
Okay well there’s no complaint there. Most humans are no match at all with demons, but there are a handful of genetically gifted superhumans who have msystically-inherited superpowers who are stronger than most demons, and who are only a little less strong than the very top demons. The problem is that this is NEVER, EVER indicated in the narrative; instead, the narrative tells us OVER AND OVER AND OVER how superior demons are in combat, even when that flies in the face of the facts throughout almost the entire manga.

>>280725969
seasons 3 and 4 both came out more recently than that so they're definitely not working on one thing at a time

Adding that touch of blue waterfalls for the fight was a good idea.

>>280726025
you are arguing with something in your head bro. tanjiro obliterates fodder demons at final selection, like killing two in one stroke

>>280726025
Then you really are blind.

>>280725633
KnY operates in a wuxia logic

>>280726149
>just breathe bro
brutal

>hyped up in promos and billboards
>has roughly 10 minutes of screen-time where he just talks smack and then gets literally one-shotted
>Zenitsu just says he coulda done that at any time after
how does /a/ feel about this

>>280726025
>The problem is that this is NEVER, EVER indicated in the narrative

I would argue that Muichiro and Gyomei killing demons with zero training says otherwise. Tengen saying "this is a vast country full of freaks that would blow your mind" to Gyuutaro and Daki was always a plot point.

>>280726375
The Thunder God mogs that little elf eared freak.

>>280726375
Well he is weak (UM6) but he's still awesome.

>>280725811
>>280725859
Did they adapt Wani’s extra tidbits from his backstory?

Webms when?

Koku's fight will be glorious

>>280726558
As in the part with the young master of the swordsmanship dojo? I don't speak jap so I can't be sure it wasn't mentioned but he doesn't appear

Which is good because it was a good thing to cut it in the first place

>>280726450
He got one-shotted, no different than normal demons.

This show is so retarded.

>>280727170
Mha out of nowhere.

Man oh man, my box office predictions are aren't just looking good so far. They’re prophetic. If the movie crashes and burns by Week 3 when Jurassic World, I'm fucking Nostradamus. The Japanese are now definitely saying this movie won't make Mugen Train numbers, not even close and that its screenings WILL be cut (even the Japanese say it's too long and theaters HATE long movies). If it holds semi-okay and caps under Mugen Train, I'm still right on money. Either way?

I already won the box office discourse war.

>>280726375

>>280727265
I don't think a single person said it'd do mugen train numbers, retard.
But you DID say it'd do like 120 million tops in japan and under 200 million worldwide.
And you are WAY off mark.

Her fight was better than Zenitsu's, especially comparing both climaxes. I was pleasantly surprised.

>>280727504

>Miyazaki: "I don’t watch it. I don’t watch much of anything else either. I don’t watch TV, I don’t watch movies. I’m just a retired old man picking up trash."

>Q: "And when they mention Spirited Away no longer being Japan’s #1 box office film?"
>Miyazaki: "I couldn't care less. The world is always inflating nonsense. (More importantly), I have to pick up trash."

Translation:

>"I'm not interested in what people are hyping."
>"I'd rather clean the literal streets than engage with this cultural inflation.”

Not a nice argument since Giyuu vs. Akaza was given plenty of new scenes in the movie. While Zeniteu vs. Kaigaku is 1:1 to the manga, so they are pretty much picking which battles they want to extent and those which they don't want to.

>>280728593
Not really, since all three major previous Zenitsu scenes in past seasons were given much more flair than how they originally went in the manga, vs. Tongue Demon, vs. Brother Spider and vs. Daki are all different (better) in the anime.

Aren't you thinking too hard about this? it was probably what makes the most sense and what does not

>>280727524
Oh really? Then why were there fags posting "¥40B guaranteed," "$600M+ global," and "it’ll crush Mugen Train in 3 weeks" just last month? Don't play revisionist historian when the thread archives exist and we all saw the hopium buffet you clowns were feasting on.

That statement is pure goalpost yanking. Now that reality is setting in and even Japanese viewers are saying it'll taper hard, you're rewriting the hype history like nothing happened. Sorry, but you don't get to pretend you were reasonable after weeks of screeching "TOP 3 GLOBAL ANIME EVER!"
>>280727802
Nope. I forecasted fatigue, frontload, runtime constraints, and market competition. I wasn't married to ¥15B or ¥25B, I was mapping probability ranges based on indicators: inflation, weaker yen, compressed runs, and fewer general audiences. And right now, all signs point to a strong open and sharp decline. Mugen Train had monstrous legs. Infinity Castle is puffing smoke on Day 3.

Even if it finishes at ¥30B (won't happen), that's:
>Nowhere near Mugen Train’s ¥40.4B
>Below "breakthrough cultural event" status.
>Right in the "successful but not historic" zone
I'm in the right lane. And you're slamming the panic button because you know it too.
>>280727802
>it had a better saturday than MT's SUNDAY
Yeah genius, and you also had:
>IMAX saturation
>Holiday boost

>Marathon showings
>No runtime cap (yet)
That's like saying you beat someone in a race, but you had a bike and they had ankle weights, and the finish line was moved closer for you. This isn't even apples to apples. It's apples to apples with steroids, Red Bull, and a rocket up the ass.

>>280728572
It was extended, just not as much. Reread the manga, we don't get Kaigaku progressively defeating Zenitsu's whole skillset in the original fight. It was a good adaptation, they just tried harder for Shinobu.

>>280728792
Anon, he won one poll, once, with tickets that came in the volume said fight was included.
Actually check anime character rankings, zenitsu doesn't top those charts.

>>280728572
Does he get any filler fodder demons to fight before Kaigaku? If he does, I think that’s good enough, the way the Kaigaku fight went, it would’ve been hard to add padding w/o fundamentally changing it

>>280728890
He gets two really fast iais before kaigaku, it's not like what Tanjiro and Tomioka get before Akaza.
Zenitsu just got a straight adaptation in general.

If I were to guess for this movie's box office, it would be:
>Best-case scenario for international (non-Japan):
US: $15-20M (September is a dump month)
France/South Korea/Taiwan/Hong Kong: $30-40M combined (Taiwan does all the heavy-lifting, Mugen Train made $20M followed by South Korea where it made $15M while in Hong Kong it made $4M amd France it made $6M)
All other countries (LATAM, EU, SEA): ~$20M tops
That's a maximum of $100-110M internationally.
>Actual likely total worldwide:
$150-170M, maybe around $200M tops. $70-90M (or $100M) from Japan. $80-110M international.

Those were your predictions before reality dawned upon you.

And who can forget gems in that same thread such as
>Also, Superman drops one week before Infinity Castle which is really bad for DS.
>Btw, DS isn't on 4DX. Superman is, and IMAX Japan LOVES a visually good film with action.
And
>something something two-three shows per day, tops.

So now don't go coping about how this were just estimations or whatever because THESE are your predictions, as a matter of fact. And if they fail, they fail.

>One page of Tanjiro/Giyu slashing the demons is turned into a 30-second kickass animated sequence
God bless this studio.

>>280728786
>that was 100% the prediction you’ve been hammering
Wrong. My stance wasn't a hard ceiling, it was a projection based on trend signals and probability. I was saying things like:
>It likely won't have Mugen Train legs
>Expect strong frontload but weaker general audience traction
>¥15-20B is plausible, higher needs miracle legs
>$200M global is a reasonable ceiling unless international blows up
That's not a goalpost, that's forecasting with data, not dreams. A ceiling is not a cap. It's a "likely max based on what we know." That's how actual analysts speak, not hypebeasts screaming "600 MILLION LOCKED IN!"
What I didn't do was shout guarantees like:
>It'll flop
>It won’t even reach ¥10B
>It can’t possibly beat Mugen Train Day 1
Meanwhile you and others were promising ¥40B and worldwide box office domination like it was already in the bank. But the actual situation right now?
>¥3.6B after 2 days = strong, but frontloaded
>Weekend boost came from maxed formats + holiday positioning, not organic legs
>Sunday numbers already showed signs of softening
>Yahoo Japan Nd Japanese box office blogs are all saying the legs probably won't match Mugen Train
¥30B is the optimistic ceiling now. ¥15-20B is more realistic. $200M global is the ballpark. I'm dead on so far.

>>280728868
Even in older polls he's still high at 2nd place.

>>280729297
>That's not a goalpost, that's forecasting with data, not dreams.

>>280729297
>¥30B is the optimistic ceiling now
You do realize the optimistic ceiling you are talking about, that analysts are talking about, is JAPAN-ONLY, right? They are talking about 300 billion yen in JAPAN.
The lowest prediction right now is at the very least 250 billion IN JAPAN, BEFORE INTERNATIONAL.
This is looking like a 300-350 million dollar movie when all is said and done, and only because the yen is weaker otherwise you are looking at an easy 400 million movie.

>>280729717
Juxtaposing the two is literally the greatest demonstration of why KnY's strengths aren't solely due to animation. HF is a great route and yet its adaptation blows because like 80% of the internal depth of the VN is excluded due to the lack of internal monologue.
Kimetsu has the emotional beats and a visual style that sparks the imagination and the atmosphere required to allow Ufotable to go haywire with visuals all without losing a sense of purpose.
The anime is only as good as its source material allows it to be, and KnY allows it to be the best there is. Thank goodness we have Ufotable to fulfill that allowance.

>>280729367
>you started moving goalposts the moment the movie started doing better than you expected.
Nope. My entire framework was built around conditional forecasting, I always said things like "if legs hold," "if burnout hits," "if general audience traction isn't strong." I did not say "it'll make only $120M worldwide and die." I gave a spread. What you're doing is classic bad faith arguing: ignoring my nuances so you can pretend my "$200M cap" was a hard law handed down from Mount Sinai.
>You said so yourself, as the best case scenario, so at least don't backtrack.
That was my best-case scenario and guess what? That still hasn't been proven wrong. The film is barely past 2 days. The only thing we've seen is the fan dump phase. There's zero data yet to confirm ¥30B+ legs, or overseas explosions. You're acting like hitting Day 2 sales means I owe you a retraction on my Day 60 projections. That's clown logic. I'm not backtracking, I'm updating forecasts based on incoming data, like any sane analyst does. That's not moving goalposts. That's called reacting to market conditions, not living in delusional fantasyland.
>In your dreams, sunday is looking huge for it
And this is where you expose yourself that you don't understand the industry at all. You're celebrating inflated Saturday numbers as if they're signs of long-term strength. But the reality is: holiday-loaded, IMAX-stuffed, pre-sale-packed weekends are designed to frontload box office. A normal movie builds its weekend gradually. This movie spiked Friday and Saturday, then dipped Sunday. That's classic burnout trajectory. Also, if Saturday "couldn’t hold more people," that's not a flex. That’s an exhaustion of demand. Capacity saturation = not a sign of growth. It's a sign of a ceiling.

>>280729863

You can tell ufotable are filled with Shinobu fags, they were the ones that pushed her hard in promo materials way back in Season 1, some along with Giyu which made shipperfags think those two were borderline canon OTP. Now they give her a good final fight against someone she had no chance against just to give her a respectable swan song.

>>280730034
Is there anyone Ufotable doesn't like?

>>280730070
Zenitsu, they didn't even try for the movie.

>>280730085
Zenitsu only didn't get some major extras now, before he got expanded scenes, his moves were completely embellished, and several of his Taisho Secrets were animated.

>>280730146
Poor Genya.
I hope they go all out for his final stand at least.

Isn't it strange how Kaigaku remembers 100% of his past?

>>280730085
Dude, Inosuke is the third main character and yet the anime skipped several of Omake tidbits, and to this fucking day his backstory chapter wasn't adapted, I'm on copium for the second movie to just make one huge flashback sequence that glues baby Inosuke and Kotoha's flashback into one at this point.

>>280730210
Some demons do remember it and he was just turned.
Douma for example remembers it all.

>>280730234
Movie 2 could start with his baby flashback like this one did as well. Would be a cute intro that sets up his significance for the movie.

>>280730210
He has only been a demon for months at best, and he willingly became a demon while begging for mercy. Not much time to forget anything. Demons who forget their past lives are often the ones who have lived for a long time and became demons out of tragic circumstances.

Old fossils like Kokushibo only seem to perfectly remember their past at first glance, but even he claimed to have forgotten the faces of his entire family, and when Yoriichi's flashback hits it is shown Kokushibo remembers several aspects of his past slightly wrong, pretty much anything concerning how his dynamic with Yoriichi was.

>>280730349
I took that as him just being a cunt because he's murdered way too many women.
He still could tell from Inosuke's face he had known a woman like that before.

>>280729780
>They are talking about 300 billion yen in JAPAN.
Lolno. No one credible said this and this is the easiest debunk of all. Mugen Train, the highest-grossing film in Japan’s history, made ~¥40.4 billion. You're either mistaking million (億) for billion or just straight up hallucinating. If you're suggesting ¥300 billion, that's literally 7.5× Mugen Train. That's like saying "This new Marvel movie will beat Endgame by $15 billion!"

You don't know the difference between 億 and 千億. That alone should disqualify you from any serious conversation.
>The lowest prediction right now is at the very least 250 billion IN JAPAN, BEFORE INTERNATIONAL.
This is either a translation error (and you meant ¥25B), or you're fully cracked and drinking paint. But since you're comparing my realistic ¥15-20B estimate to what you're calling “low,” then yeah, you're legit thinking ¥250B, which again is nonsense. No Japanese film has ever made anywhere remotely close to that. That's 10x Your Name. I don’t need to counter this, I just need to point at it and laugh.
>This is looking like a 300-350 million dollar movie when all is said and done
I already won the argument and you don't even see it, lmao. I'd run numbers based on current facts.
>Realistic scenario
Japan: Let’s say it finishes with ¥15-20B = ~$100-$135M
International (non-Japan): Maybe ~$100M (being generous)
Total: $200-235M worldwide tops.
It might be a top-earning anime movie this year, but:
>It's not even sniffing Mugen Train in yen or USD
>It's not remotely a phenomenon anymore
>It's showing heavy frontload, saturation, and won't have the yearlong legs Mugen Train had
Even strong legs won't save it from being a fan-driven box office burst, not a cultural juggernaut.

A movie in which the main draw will be Koku and the Yoriichi reveal won't have an Inosuke scene as a cold opening. Best you can hope for is Inosuke alluding to the old man while arguing with Douma that he was raised by a boar, only to be corrected by his real backstory.

>>280729611
Yeah. Do that. Please. Everyone hold onto it. Because if Sunday comes in below Saturday, even with all the turbo-charged IMAX and holiday positioning, I've already got my answer. Lmao. You'e banking on Sunday in Japan being even higher than Saturday, which isn't impossible, but very rare and would actually prove my point more than yours if it underdelivers.

Saturday was literally maxed out. If Sunday's not higher, it means the fan rush peaked already. If it is higher, cool that still doesn't prove legs. It proves holiday weekend boost and saturation. What happens next week when seats shrink and showtimes go down? That's when the cliff begins.

Either way, mt frontload prediction holds up. You're just clinging to day-by-day spikes as if it's the whole war, not just a skirmish.

It's simple.
This "person" is what you call an attention parasite. You want to know why people still bother talking to him? Because it's not exactly the same handful of people. Through the years, as the userbase of these threads rotate, there will always be someone new, who doesn't know who he is, who will react on instinct by what they think is just your run-of-the-mill forum trashtalk, and engage with him, naively thinking "oh, that's what the internet is for anyways".
These are fresh victims that don't know they are feeding the resident schizo who has been at this for years. Our parasite, of course, understands this: he knows there will always been someone on 4chan or Reddit who doesn't know the drill yet, and that he will always be able to get some form of attention if he keeps poking.
I haven't directly addressed the guy in years, but someone else always will.
If these threads are a house, he is part of the furniture. And when you have a strange-looking chair on your living room, new visitors are always gonna react to it.

>>280730963
Nothing needs to be redone, just an actual choreography needs to be added as Muzan just acts like a retard flapping his arms, only looking threatening when he pulls out his second unnamed blood art that floored everyone.

Looking at how insanely better Gyuu vs. Akaza is in the movie, they surely will treat the final battle with care.

To be fair, a normal fight against muzan is over in like 10 minutes and muzan wins because his poison is the most bullshit thing in the series as it instakills.

>>280730891
Of course Miyazaki doesn't care. He's a fucking auteur, lol. When critics and artists talk about authorship, they're talking about a creator's voice, the sense that a work is uniquely born of one person's obsessions, traumas, philosophies, and style. NGE, especially in its early form, bleeds Anno's psyche: his depression, suicidal tendencies, psychosexual tension, and societal angst. Miyazaki operates from a deeply personal worldview shaped by pacifism, nature, and humanist ideals. His work carries fingerprints of soul. Even Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, and Isao Takahata have distinct creative DNA that runs through every frame.

Demon Slayer, on the other hand is just a productized shonen. It's a buffet of tropes and cliches served with beautiful animation, but at its core, it has no unique voice. No deeper thesis about the world, no risks taken, no unique cinematic language. Just a perfectly engineered, corporate-approved product. That's why Miyazaki respects NGE and he will never respect Demon Slayer. That's also why Boy and the Heron was a confusing, deeply personal fever dream of war, grief, and death that dared you to decode it. That's why the Oscars gave him another statue. Because even if they didn't fully understand it (I also don't), they knew he meant every frame.

You think Miyazaki's gonna waste his time on Demon Slayer? A series where the deepest philosophical question is "Can I cry harder while slicing this demon?" No. He's out here pondering mortality and environmental collapse while the rest of the country is clapping for Nezuko shrinking into a box.

>>280731411
Wani has plenty of ideas that her artistic skills are not able to convey properly. From the scope of the Infinity Castle itself to the brutal blink-and-you-die pace some of these fights reach.
Muzan is said to be so fast that even Gyomei, who was able to keep up with Koku to a certain extent, complains that he can't even attack while being assisted by 4 other Pillars. He's only able to go on the offense when Kanao, Zenitsu and Inosuke show up, which means he needed 7 other people engaging Muzan in order to find an opening. That sounds cool and all, but these are only words. Gotouge is not able to convey that blinding speed in the manga. Now imagine the chaos UFO will create with rotating camerawork, blitzing tentacles and mini-tornadoes blowing shit up everywhere.

Honestly, the movie cut only beats his Thunderclap in Mugen Train and the one he used against the Worm Belt.

>I mean, I'm just an old man that's above it all, I made hundreds of millions of dollars completely on accident and not by caefully curating an image

I was enjoying it a lot already and then Giyuu started fighting and I came everywhere

My VILLAIN will SHAKE the INFINITE castle when he awakens which will put him in OUTERVERSAL TIER

>>280732566
>Giyuu, user of the most visually basic breath style, surpasses Heaven's Feel

kinda funny

>>280732708
That's wind, really.
The water dragons always looked cool.

>>280727839
>(More importantly), I have to pick up trash.

>I will get to watch this scene on the big screen

I, personally, won. Me.

>>280732829
I can't wait for the WebM with sound.

>>280731651
>Gotouge is not able to convey that blinding speed in the manga
Those pages show that s/he can

>>280732456
>7th form was not even a top 3 Zenitsu cut.
It literally was, artistic merit over animation

So was Tanjurou in see through world while banging mommy Kamado

>wake up and the wall of text continues

>>280727839
its so weird how such a weird cunt of a man can make such wonderful movies
except the boy and the heron
holy fuck that was trash

there's torrents already

watching right now '-'

>>280733221
That's how he got 5 kids.

>>280731651
I love that Muzan is so fucking OP and yet he's STILL a fucking bitch.

>>280732829
>"So your family got slaughtered. What's the problem here?"
Still the absolute greatest villain moment holy shit

>>280733112
I didn't mean Wani can't convey speed period, just that you'd need to go above and beyond to convey a meatgrinder that can keep 5+ characters on their toes without leaning on their inner monologues.

>>280733268
Doesnt that usually end up being the case time and time again? Person that makes wholesome content is a miserable cunt. Person that makes horrific content is the nicest person ever.

>>280733338
Not really. There are a ton of old men who are sweet and make wonderful content.
I feel like a jerk probably but I've always found misreable men like that to be low intelligence retards

>>280731651
>main character loses an eye 5 seconds into the fight

I will never forget my first time reading this shit.

>>280733308
Him being a hypocrite is the best part of his character

>>280733142
Genuinely curious, are you talking about the build-up? Zenitsu's thunder aura spreading everywhere while Kaigaku watches? That was pretty cool. The attack itself was just.... slow.
Way too slow for a technique meant to be his fastest yet. Godspeed looks faster.
Heck, Shinobu's last attack looked way faster.
I'm not even talking about animation here, but about directing/storyboarding.

>>280713994
Muzan, my wife (male).

>>280720714
>zero fanservice
The main antagonist is literally a trap (well, kinda), what do you mean?

>>280733563
Obanai being cool and Mitsuri fangirling was a nice addition.

Any links to the full camrip??

>>280733480
Good thing they got the right priorities.

>>280733689
Check the most popular torrent source this board knows of.

>>280733480
With all that money, they could make a non-gacha but noooooo gotta have a movie.
It's literally the only reason why I don't play their games. They look kinda interesting otherwise (apparently not because the gacha mechanic holds it back... sigh).

But seriously, I dropped the show about 6 eps in for some reason (it was a little boring, but not that bad compared to other shounen of this calibre. In fact it's probably better than Bleach and is near SnK).
But I ALWAYS am drawn to Muzan's design. Both. Male and Female. Both sexes.

What is it about this character design that is so hot?
Muzan starts to feel almost omnipotent and the androgyny makes Muzan super creepy but also super seductive.

>>280733679
>Obanai being cool and Mitsuri fangirling was a nice addition.
Especially since she's done it for every other guy in the anime by now. Poor Obanai is in love with a slut.

Why was akaza just third moon when he was obviously stronger than the second one?

>>280733942
1) Doma didn't give up on eating women so actually got stronger
2) Doma is a fucking emotionless psycho so likely doesn't activate his compass technique

>>280733942
Because he could never beat UM 2

>>280733942
Douma was always stronger, at least before Akaza went into his quasi-Muzan mode at the end

>>280733942
Douma just screws around

>>280733942
Akaza has fought Doma before and lost svery single time, Domaine casually talks about it as if it was a fight among friends.

>>280728006
Man just wants to do his garbage day in peace

>>280724875
I'd hardly call the kaigaku one a fight, it's more of a joke really

>>280733480
holy shit I forgot ufotable is adapting genshit impact
I'm mad now

>>280733942
Because he wasnt

>>280733942
Akaza definitely isn't stronger than Douma. Douma just shitting around would fuck him up and his demon blood arts probably wouldn't even sense him since Douma doesn't even feel anything.

If only Douma had his own arc, the potential this place would’ve gotten is surreal

If and when CC2 adapts the movies, do you think they'll do just as good as Ufotable?

>>280734729
What does UFO hate Zenitsu?

>we live in a word where the Kanao/Inosuke finisher against Douma will look MUCH better than the Zenitsu finisher on Kaigaku

there is justice after all.

>>280735373
it's karma for RLD where Inosuke beheading Daki got a mediocre Sotozaki storyboard and Zenitsu's Godspeed got a Shirai storyboard that made him look like he was gonna drag Daki all the way to the moon.

>>280734997
Lost potential at it's worst. We could have the same final battle but an arc around the cult would've been cool.

>>280735272
They have been pretty good at translating the scenes into 3D so far, so I can't see them doing any worse.

I cannot wait to see Sanemi's ENTER and opening salvo against Koku

Having Tanjirou's original Pillar mentor be the one to fight Akaza with him was genius on Wani's part
And the electronic/guitar music for the first bit of the fight was genius on the composers' parts too
And the artists that decided to light the battlefield with waterfalls in the opening

>>280735757
That scene will be gut wrenching

>>280735905
Wani wrote every fight with some kind of thematic consideration in mind. Giyuu and Akaza are the two characters that meet Tanjiro at his lowest and think he's some random kid they're gonna forget in a few days at first.

>>280733466
>Godspeed looks faster
7 form look faster, think about the distance

>>280730734
This is just projection. I've consistently provided reasoned forecasts. Ranges, trends, qualifiers. My stance wasn't "I win no matter what," it was:
>Strong frontload? Check.
>Less general audience traction than Mugen Train? Check.
>Not replicating Mugen Train’s unicorn legs? Double check.
>Inflated by holiday placement + premium formats? Confirmed.
>No ¥40B miracle repeat? Reality incoming.
My argument has evolved as the data evolves, which is what actual forecasting looks like. You're just crying because my predictions were accurate enough to survive contact with reality while yours were wishful thinking wrapped in fanboy delusion.
>>280730770
This is the kind of kindergarten-level jab people throw when they have no arguments left. You're out of box office points, so now it's just playground-tier "Leddit bad" name-calling. Lame. What next? "You breathe air and I don’t, therefore I win"? For the record, I don't like Reddit.
>>280731030
This whole section is projection, cope, and full meltdown. When someone writes a monologue about how they "never engage with him" while engaging with him, for multiple posts, with multiple paragraphs: he broke them. Bro, you're calling me a "chair." A freaking chair. That's not an insult, that's an existential crisis dressed up as a roast, rofl. Also, if I'm just furniture why are you still talking to the furniture? Because what you actually can't handle is this: I called the frontload. I called the oversaturation. I called the falloff risk. I called that it won't have Mugen Train legs. I called the inflated Day 1 from national holiday and max formats. I'm matching current analyst sentiment in both Japan and Western box office circles. I even explained how being strong and still not repeating a cultural phenomenon are not mutually exclusive ideas. I'm spiraling because I was never seething, I was just early.

You're not debating me. You're processing a loss. And frankly, it's beautiful.

>>280714344
It's this, sadly.

>>280733466
the 7th form would have looked better if it had two camera angles
one where we get a wide shot from a difference and it looks like a blink and you miss it
and the one that we got

>>280713898
You have no idea what youre talking about, or youre trolling. There is nothing wrong with the Zenitsu still, and that chainsawman shit looks like garbage.

>>280736347
if I have to think about the distance, it doesn't "look" faster. the scene needs me to cut it some slack because it's unimpressive on its own. it's literally Zenitsu flying upwards sideways, fully visible, for several seconds. Are you telling me this looks faster than him exploding in a ray of light for less than a second, like in the Godspeed scene?

>>280736468
Yeah, this. Let Kaigaku's head separate from his body for a second before we even know what happened, than show the manga spread like it was a replay.

>>280736468
>>280736732
The animation director likely felt that showing Zenitsu's hairi ripping through friction was enough to convey its speed. Keeping with the manga it is something that Zenitsu couldn't do before.

>>280736852
I get that. I think the scene just lacks... ambition, really. Even the one-to-one version of the spread keeps Zenitsu's clothing less destroyed than in the manga, which is a pity, since showing the kanji on his back was an important part of the imagery.

>>280727839
It sound like he just hate reporters who keep asking him useless questions. He straight up just said that he doesn't watch modern anime? WHat do people expect him to say?

>>280730210
Seem like if the person is evil enough, the shock of becoming a man-eating demon won't affect their memory. All of the demons that retain their memory are all willing subjects who was already quite bad in their human life (Koku, Douma, Gyokko, Hantengu,....)

>>280727839
miyazaki is right
the only reason why demon slayer is popular is mass hysteria + covid + netflix
once the normalfags locked onto it, demon slayer stopped being just a show amd became a national bonding ritual. the same way people watched the same NHK dramas or morning variety shows, demon slayer became the safe thing everyone could enjoy without thinking too hard
but if this exact same anime came out in the pre social media generation, made with the technology available at that time, nobody would give a shit about it and it would get a worse treatment than Big 3

>>280736852
>>280736921
think about the movement of the sword, I blinked and the head was cut, it happen very fast

>>280733961
And the most important thing, Douma power is kinda a hard counter to Akaza. He can't sense ice, he can't sense when the ice clone attack (cause there no killing intent) and he can't do shit if he can't get close.

>>280737011
Miyazaki says that about everything, is not that deep

>>280736921
maybe if there was more of an after effect and shockwave after the dragon disappears breaking some of the surroundings
to show the force that the attack put off

>>280737086
I imagine that the reporter just start asking him questions while he was doing his chore. Like anyone would be mad when people bother them.

>>280736296
The one nitpick I have is that Giyuu's face when in the bottom left panel seems like he's tearing up but in the movie he seems angry. Greatly prefer Wani's panel to the shot in the movie

>>280737112
Also asking him how he feels about another film beating his film in revenue is kind of a shitty question to ask someone while they are doing chores. Correct me if Im wrong but was Miyazaki ever a dude that gave a fuck about how much money his films made?

>>280737285
He clearly never care about any of that. From what I heard about the "interview", it's likely that it was some tabloid trying to get a reaction out of him.

>>280736296
not just that but wani has a knack for knowing exactly when to debut something for the maximum emotional impact
until the fight with akaza we don't see giyuu struggle even once. seeing him going all out for the first time compounds with the feeling of wanting to see akaza defeated
so when ufotable goes all out animating the fight the emotion of the moment that was already there gets hiked up to the next level
if the writing was bad and didn't lend itself well to expansion, all the tax evasion in the world couldn't make the fight good. but thankfully the series is both well-written and incredibly well-adapted

I always forget Dekus va is in the movie voicing Yushiro
