Got any questions? ask me, I went and saw the movie with my boyfriend

any predictions? post them here

got any leaks? also post them here!

>>280738488 (OP)
is this better than solo leveling s2? i loved that s2 and enjoyed it a lot, does this also have those hype moments and aura? i might give it a try, if it has

>>280738488 (OP)
>my boyfriend

>>280738519
uhm idk I don't really watch anime, this movie is an exception because demon slayer is my favourite series, but my theatre cheered a decent bit, I did buy the first solo levelling novel but didn't really like it anyway

>>280738548
don't read the novel, read the manhwa instead. sl doesn't have a good story to appeal to masses, but it's art and characters are awesome. ez10/10

>>280738522
they meant their dakimakura obviously

>>280738576
Yeah if I ever do end up doing that I'll take your advice

>mfw went to watch the film alone.

What is your country?
I have just been to the cinema to see it.
I was able to get this card on a first-come, first-served basis.yatta.

>>280738488 (OP)
I liked the way Tanjiro was a third wheel in this fight for 99% of the time. How the clash between Giyu and Akaza took most of the spotlight. It’s not very common where you see this sort of thing with the mc.

>>280739611
I live in Japan
>>280739749
I found it very odd, it's the inverse of what happens in the manga

>>280739804
Manga had that sort of, except Giyu’s fight was just a few pages and they didn’t move around the castle.

>>280738488 (OP)
is your boyfriend's penis bigger than yours?

>>280739947
I don't recall giyu ever having any proper 1 on 1 time with Akaza

>>280738488 (OP)
>got any leaks? also post them here!

>>280721993

>>280740041
he does
Tanjirou does nothing but counter Akaza's compass at the end

Where did the shota shit and the another sets of twins came from when we only saw the twin lolis previously? Why would the psycho dad kill 2 of his kids and wife only? And of course we are supposed to believe these three can just map the fucking everychanging fortress. Like what?

>>280741343
He always had five kids, one boy (his successor) and four girls.
And they have supernatural powers in general and are using the crows to map the fortress.

>>280741343
>Why would the psycho dad kill 2 of his kids and wife only?
They volunteered for the ruse.

>>280741343
Muzan, for some reason, thought the demon corps were human people with human lives and human values.
How wrong he was.

please post new fanart!!! I dont have xitter

Oh, it passed over MT's weekend a couple hours ago, good for it.

>>280741401
> last season: 'Im going to kill myself and my whole bloodline to finish off Muzan!

Fuck off you dishonest faggot

>>280741449
The 5 million bonus is almost over
Aniplex and toho did not expect the movie to perform this hard.
They need another bonus asap

>>280741690
They probably already started emergency prints for extras, really, in time for next weekend at the latest.
It may end up the first movie in japan to sell a million tickets in a day today.

>>280741433
Wait a week for more.

*1　894580　1067514　4772　280　******　劇場版 鬼滅の刃 無限城編 第一章 猗窩座再来
5 hours left of sunday, all time attendance record broken confirmed.
Poor Jimbo, another thing he got wrong.

>>280742142
Does it make more than Mugen Train in USD? Yen is omega cucked right now

>>280742189
Probably going to end up on par/lower because of that even if it sold more tickets.
As far as japan is concerned is destroying it, however.

>>280742189
Itll end up lower sadly but regardless its making records
That also means if yen improved for next movie. Its gonna be even bonkers

Kny popularity barely waned even after the manga ended for 5 years which is insane

>>280742220
Yeah even the yen was shit back when mugen aired
Id mugen waas in 2011 itd be at near 700m due to currency rates.

>>280742142
Its being handicapped by seats. It should have taken more showings from superman

>>280742558
Also its breaking records when mugen had more seats and showings and covid
So J cope is completely destroyed

>>280738488 (OP)
>utage no jikan da in the jp poster and you can hear it as well in the movie
>this is the translation
Yeah the official subs not looking great

>>280742603
I mean,
>IT'S TIME TO PARTY
doesn't sound so great.

What is the japanese box office yen at now?

>>280742603
The subs have always been fucked. Gyutaro's modern zoomerisms like using the phrase "as all get out" in taisho era. Half expected him to talk about how things are bussin and totally slap.

>>280739749
all I remember from this fight is that cool panel with the flame and water dragon attacking Akaza

>>280742603
>I will fulfill my duties! I won't let anyone here die!
>This aura..! Such an indomitable fighting spirit!
>Kyojuro, you truly are the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train (Japanese: 劇場版「鬼滅の刃」 無限列車編, Hepburn: Gekijō-ban "Kimetsu no Yaiba" Mugen Ressha-hen), also known as Demon Slayer: Mugen Train or Demon Slayer: Infinity Train, the 2020 Japanese animated dark fantasy action film based on the "Mugen Train" arc of the shōnen manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge, produced by Ufotable in association with Aniplex and Shueisha!
I think they were a little too on the nose with some of these translations

>>280742642
5.6 billion
Can easily be 6 billion weekend
7-8 billion 4 day

Will get the fastest 10 billion from mugen train

Also it hroke 940k. 1 million record confirmed holy fucking shit

>>280742762
It's funny how it can't literally go any higher than the updates that are being delivered due to a physical lack of showings.
The weekend may as well get to 7 billion at this rate.

>>280742776
Yeah is being constrained due to lack of seats. It also has no 4dx
Lots of shit going against it but winning and making records over fucking mugen train. The one thought to be unbreakable

>camrips are finally up
nice
>no subs
what is even the point

hello it's op again

just snuck into another showing, movie is still amazing

>>280742800
That you should know the story already since it adds very little and enjoy the pretty pics.

Gachiakuta bros...

>3k more for the record
So, like 40 minutes more to go.
Congrats kimetsu, you always blow up the box office no matter what the retard in these threads says.

>The claim that "IC1 was in production for 3.5 years" is false. In fact, the 3.5 year duration referred to the rendering of the IC CG, which was the exact issue ufotable successfully solved, completely opposite to the claim that it took 3.5 years, which would mean they failed
How they actually solved it is in pamphlet:
>Short summary is that they expanded the amount of machines and remodeled the heavy 3D models to make them lighter (hence the redesign of the IC during SSV episode 1)
Action team:
>Kondo approached 4 of the best in-house KAs, and proposed they each lead an action scene team, as such they could make rough KAs in larger quanitity than usual, and for the 1st & 2nd KAs to have full understanding behind the the team leader's intent and vision
Unifiying the work:
>Due to the large amount of people involved, it's difficult to keep the movie cohesive, one of the solutions was to make reference material in CG for running scenes for each character, it's also mentioned that Miwa had a large contribution across the movie.
All ufo animators switched to digital:
>During RLD, half of the staff have switched to digital. For the IC tho, all have switched to digital, this allows for better communication, less mistakes and overall more efficiency.
>The pamphlet highlights Director Sotozaki's speed, alongside Chief Animation Director and Character Designer Akira Matsushima's outstanding management abilities. He has managed most of the workload on how own with only some support
Staff Comments:
>The work flow manager appealed to ufotable that their approach won't deliver on time, the production structure was changed multiple times, and ended up with the entirety of ufotable working on theis movie

>>280743008
Say what you want about Sotozaki, but the dude is competent and this allows other, more talented people, to focus their efforts on the more important parts.

>>280743008
Also how are they doing it since 2022 while pumping new seasons? And movie 2 and 3? Holy shit

>>280743008
This series had a big impact on the anime industry but it's more behind the scenes impact

>>280742800
I compare the scenes with the pages in the manga

>>280738488 (OP)
Reminder this shit will end in 2029, actually worse than the heavens feel movies

Ngl would be interesting if Genshin anime flops
Might shift the narrative about Kimetsu

>>280743098
It's mostly about production in kimetsu's case, with ufo developing cutting edge 3d technology for it.

>>280743122
UFO has had plenty of flops, people just conveniently ignore them when talking about kimetsu.
Remember god eater and zestiria?

>>280743122
Genshin is extremely popular. More than any manga bar kimetsu. It brings over 2b a year.
I doubt it will flop
Ufotable already had flops though. Namely god eater

>>280743142
tbf they're before KnY and Genshin is more mainstream

>>280743176
They are after FZ, which was the huge series that put them on the map in the first place after knk.

>>280743122
The covid excuse and cope is destroyed.
The animation already is if u look at uu,csm and others. Ufotable excuse will be destroyed but not soon due to how busy they are. Could be destroyed with fate movie or the sword movie though.

>>280743120
I feel like the second movie will release mid next year with the last coming out late next year

>>280743122
I just want Witch anime...

>>280743210
And I want girl's work by Meteo, but it's not happening.
At least mahoyo is being worked on.

THE cocktease update. So, confirmed million, another record broken.

>>280738488 (OP)
I haven't the movie yet (waiting for it to hit large-screen film theatrics in other places in the world in the theatera), but I'm really curious how they're going to animate certain scenes. The fan animations that I've seen of Zenitsu vs Kaigaku vs and and The Pillar trio vs Kokushibou the IMAX screen. I haven't been this vs hyped to see something in theaters for a while

>>280743243
Zenitsu vs Kaigaku is probably the most meh part of the movie.
BUT they delivered on the fireworks in akaza's part (alongside everything else holy shit) so I won't even complain.

>>280743258
>Zenitsu vs Kaigaku is probably the most meh part of the movie.
How so? Zenitsu is my boy. I don't care if roasties find him annoying.

>>280743274
Ive seen the leak imo the fan animation is better

>>280743274
Akaza's is the main event, that shit is gorgeous and the best thing ufo has done as of yet.
Shinobu had a SEVERELY expanded on fight that simply looks amazing. She got a lot of love.
Zenitsu is ok, basically a 1:1 adaptation of his manga fight but the thunder god attack is kinda meh.

>>280743298
Shinobu wasn't meant to keep up with Doma, she should have been beaten pretty quickly, her older sister was more powerful than her and it seemed she couldn't even fight doma for more than a minute, and shinobu SKIPPED out on the 4 months of training the other Hashira got

>>280743234
You mean set
Mugen never achieved 1 million

>>280743258
did they add anything to the Kaigaku flashback especially Koku?

>>280743321
She's not ACTUALLY keeping up with Douma, he's just a cunt who likes playing with his food.
Miyano nails how fucking nonchalant he is throughout the fight.

>>280743258
How's Abe's cut? Does he only have one cut or multiple? I love this guy's animation style, I have to know

>>280743298
>Akaza's is the main event, that shit is gorgeous and the best thing ufo has done as of yet.
Even better looking than the Abe cuts in the Fate movies? (I haven't seen the Fate movies, I've only seen his cuts on sakugabooru so I don't have context for them but they're stunning to look at, and better looking than anything I've seen in Kimetsu so far)

>>280743298
Koku fight better better be the greatest of all time

>>280743274
Kaigaku looked better than Zen

>>280743343
Can't wait for Douma to beg Shinobu to go to hell with him, only for her to go "Lol no way fag, go burn in hell" before throwing his head.

>>280743348
Abe isn't even the best animator in this series. Why do people glaze him so much?

>>280743291
>>280743298
>>280743369
Damn, sounds like he got robbed. I thought he was popular in Japan.

>>280743348
he did the 7th form(pretty sure) and Akaza's big final attack/see through world

>>280743348
Akaza vs Tomioka is just impressive.
Lengthy, too, shit's beautiful. You can tell when he starts because the whole thing immediately looks a step better than before (right after Giyuu gets his mark).
Also see through world is very pretty.

>>280743399
the 7th form just lacked another angle to show the speed or a shockwave to show it's power

>>280743425
But Giyuu is so fucking boring. Why would they give him center stage. Does he even have fans?

>>280743399
He already got enough scenes.
These are Shinobu's final stand and Tomioka's BIG showing, they deserved more love than him.
It's not like it's bad, just less good than the others.

>>280743444
Giyuu is VERY popular especially with women.

>>280743444
Giyuu is the most relatable pillar. He has tons of fans. People love him. He's great, I don't know what to tell you. Why do you hate him?

>>280743468
How?
>>280743473
He doesn't have a personality. A charisma black hole. Drains the energy out of every scene he's in.

>>280742915
Holy shit 100 posts in 1 min

Congrats for the 1 million

>>280743444
have to mention it's op talking here

I really like giyuu, he uses water breathing which is the basic breathing, he's sort of the most basic hashira, plus I really like his haori design, but tengen is still my favourite

>>280743473
For me, it's Sanemi.

>>280743258
Is it atleast longer than zentisu going heh nothing personal kid and gg'ing him basically in a single chapter.

>>280743557
I mean, yeah.
They get 15 minutes together.

KnY did it
1M

Next is having a strong leg (since jimmy predicted it won't have a strong leg, it definitely will)

> Akaza clowns on not one but three hashiras and only dies when he checks out
> actual martial artist without fancy magic sword or op magical ability
> dies by punching himself to death

This is why every demon in the series is a cringe ass faggot except him. Am I supposed to take seriously the goofy ass nigga with the six eyes?

>its numbers are looking weak for sunday
>*breaks its own record*
>*legitimately gets a million people in cinemas*
Oh Jimmy jim jam.

>>280743668
>Am I supposed to take seriously the goofy ass nigga with the six eyes?
Yes, his six eyes are the biggest fucking cope in the series.
Next movie will be him having an existential crisis over and over and over.

>>280743625
Sunday > sat > friday suggets the opposite of frontloadting
Also this is p value. Actual Admits are way above 1m.
We wont know until tues though

>>280743701
And tomorrow is a holiday so people are predicting similar numbers, jeremy is super fucked but he'll go with
>it's just frontloaded and it'll do like shit and have shit legs
despite aiming for 300 billion yen at the very least right now.

>>280743668
Kokushibo is the coldest nigga in the whole series

>thread is so dead that people are gloating over box office numbers in hopes that their imaginary boogieman comes back

Movie must have been boring as shit

I wonder if ufotable knows how anticipated koku fight is? I hope they give it the absolute best

>>280743749
Of course it was, it doesn't cover the good fights. Those aren't till movie 2.

>>280743757
I have no worries about it after this fight.
Second movie just has the red blood spider lily thing to dump animators on, and hopefully they throw inosuke a bone too.

>>280743774
Akaza fight is good.
Koku's is the best part of the series, but Akaza had a good fight, anime boosted it to high heavens.
But in the end it's two more months to go for most of the world, so it takes time.

To me this is the best part of the movie

So why is Muzan in a flesh cocoon? Every op demon can regenerate but he needs time to recover from sharpnel?

>>280743829
Tamayo finally developed her anti demon poison so even with the most bullshit regen in the series it's taking him time to overcome it.

>>280743829
Tamayo gave him medicine (poison)

>>280743747
His entire existence is an inferiority complex. At least Akaza got laid, even if his motivation is simpery.

>>280743828
Ishida was 10/10 there.

>>280743829
hello mr illiterate

>>280743829
His body is getting absolutely thrashed by Tamayo's antidote so he has to dedicate a serious effort to fighting it.

>>280743829
Muzan fears the pussy

>>280743867
>Akaza got laid
... did he? I imagine they were waiting for their marriage ceremony.
Koku got laid at least.

And so Shinobu dies, without me ever getting to see her sexy body outside those bulky robes

This is going to be insane when it gets animated

>>280743922
You just know shes hiding massive breasts

>>280743905
he didn't get laid yet but it was literally a sure thing

>>280743905
>I imagine they were waiting for their marriage ceremony.
This has never happened in the history of penises.

>>280743964
He respected her father too much and they were honorable and shit.

>>280743935
She'd be sexier if they were smaller

>>280743935
I like to think she has huge thighs

>>280743933
Can't wait for the
>Is this what a Samurai look like ?
When Kokushibo get mindbroken.

>>280743933
I liked what I saw so far of his ball and chain in the movie.
Shame he's not more popular but Sanemi and Tokito are there to make up for it.

>>280743933
Moon Breathing is going to look soooo good, I almost feel bad for the animators having to do all the little crescents.

>>280744014
Hes big and scary thats why

>>280743933
Wait, something's different about these panels...

>>280743396
>Abe isn't even the best animator in this series.
Holy based. Best animator is Masayuki Kunihiro BTW.

>>280743749
RETARD, beside japan, none can see the movies.

>>280744021
>ctrl+c

Digital rocks.

I love my nameless green wife!

Hows kanao breathing?

>>280743274
Zenitsu's part can considered "meh" in the sense that he did not get the embellishment all of important scenes got before in the series, it is a weird situation where adapting 1:1 looks unimpressive. Now something like God Speed looked insane and overpowered in the anime, while something that is supposed to be much stronger like the Flaming Thunder God looks rather basic.

>>280743369
Not really, the movie was actually spot on in portraying how Kaigaku is inferior to Zenitsu, they show him as slow as fuck compared to Zenitsu due his inability to learn the First Form, Kaigaku running at subpar speed looks pathetic.

the added sex scene flashback between Akaza's father and mother was really weird

>>280744050
Next movie.

>>280744050
By using her lungs

Akaza's fall from grace is so forced
> introduce op invincible stepdaddy fighter
> even his crush gets better
> jk somehow he and his daughter gets merced by random mooks??

make it make sense

>>280744074
>introduce a bunch of jackasses who harass them early on
>they get buttmad akaza is better than them
>they just murder them all
Classic nippon.

>>280744050
She only shows one attack, pretty standard, nothing very special, I'm sure ufotable will make her final form look very impressive.

>>280744061
This part of the manga had a lot of really weird moments...

>>280744048
I'm a Kakushi man myself

>>280744102
>ufo added waterfalls to the background to represent akaza cumming buckets at their fight
Bold choice.

>>280743243
Why did you post this image upside down?

>>280744074
Let's see a way a world class fighter punch their way against poison.

>Wake up to see the Black Clover faggot having his little meltdown
Lol. And ¥5B in just three days isbimpressive. BUT, before you underage children start handing it the crown for "unchallenged global domination," I'd do what you refuse to do: look at it with actual context.
>Yes, it's a record-breaking 3-day.
>Faster than Mugen Train? Yes.
>Higher ATP due to IMAX/fan screening overload? Also yes.
>National holiday boost? Yep.
>Frontload from hype-surge and loyal fanbase? Absolutely.
No, this doesn't mean Infinity Castle has Mugen Train legs. In fact, everything STILL points to the opposite: massive frontloading and 2.4M admissions in 3 days? Great. But the pace of those sales is heavily Day 1-weighted, not organically spread. Mugen Train was also short, tight, standalone and ran in a COVID vacuum. This? A franchise midpoint, super long runtime, and a runtime that limits theater turnover.

Also, Mugen Train did not hit ¥5B in 3 days. It hit ¥4.6B. But it ran for an entire year, had unmatched legs, and became a multi-generational phenomenon in Japan. The general public, not just anime fans — went to see it again and again. That's how you get to ¥40B+. Infinity Castle is starting stronger in raw yen, but it's also:
>Relying more on premium formats and holiday spikes
>Frontloading all its demand
>Not built for the general crowd (or rewatch fatigue)
>Running in a bloodbath July/August with Hollywood and Japanese competition
So all of this is still on track for my predictions.

>>280744118
I cosplayed a kakushi once but everybody kept hitting on me, never again!

>>280744101
I'm sure ufo will just give it the deluxe course and just add a shitton to her fight before even her final form.

>>280743341
NTA but watching rn and I don't think so. Nothing massive, if anything. Koku looks cool though.

>>280744048
Breasts too small. My wife is cuter

>>280744118
Breasts too big. My wife is cuter

>>280744101
>>280744139
Considering this is basically her main and only moment, it's going to be like Shinobi vs. Douma

>>280744046
Cubekino?

I for one can't wait for Sanemi shitty father ghost to manifest out of nowhere to beat his kid one last time and throw him out of hell back into his body while calling him a faggot.

>>280744135
>But the pace of those sales is heavily Day 1-weighted
You understand it's only gotten EVEN MORE admissions with each passing day, right?
>Also, Mugen Train did not hit ¥5B in 3 days
IF didn't either, it's way higher than that, it hit that number before 3 pm.
>>Running in a bloodbath July/August with Hollywood and Japanese competition
I don't know what to tell you, it's going to assrape its competition (families and anime watchers)

>>280744167
Croc really screwed Kanao over by having most of her character arc take place offscreen.

>>280744190
Is this official?

>>280744188
just ignore him, man. he just wanna attention. he didnt come for arguing.

>>280743981
>>280744118
God, the things I to want in her to inside cum myself

>>280744194
I wish we could get cult arc with Iguro in it too

>>280744135
>>Frontloading all its demand
>only obstacle to doing even better is the absolute lack of seats
You were wrong jimbo, take the L and move on.

>>280744118
I can't tell if this is AI or not. My internal detector is busted and probably returning false positives at this point.

>>280744182
Sanemi is the most undeserved character to stay alive at the end when no one likes his abusive Bakugo from Temu ass. Bullies his little brother who ends up dead, tries to kill Tanjiro's sister etc.

>>280738488 (OP)
Why did the focus in the upper moon eye? Shouldn't have been better to focus in the other eye that says 3?

>>280744248
Sanemi stayed alive because genya wanted to save him like he was once saved by Sanemi

>>280744248
Once you learn Sanemi's circumstances you will be ashamed of your words and deeds

>>280744248
sanemi should have gone on to join the imperial navy to be a wind style kamikaze pilot
just imagine the destructive potential

>>280744318
I still find him retarded.
>I'll gouge your fucking eye out genya

>>280744328
he did that so genya wouldn't die in the corps

>>280744248
Sanemi forced to stay alive and live without his little brother is a much crueler punishment than death.

>>280744248
Staying alive is his curse. Also chad privilege.

>>280743671
Rofl. You reallt don't know anything, don't you? No, of course you don't, because Demon Slayer fans are underage children. Infinity Castle did not get a huge Sunday bump. The Sunday numbers coming out now are solid, yes, but not explosive, and definitely not what would be required to put it on pace with Mugen Train in USD.

Saturday's box office was already saturated to the max. Packed IMAX/4DX, 18+ showings a day, national holiday boost, marathon events, they pulled every lever. That left very little room for growth on Sunday. And sure enough, Sunday showed only a marginal increase, some even argue it was flat or slightly down in key locations. No huge bump materialized. Why? Because they already cannibalized Sunday's demand by frontloading Saturday. That's how hyper-fan-driven releases behave: big launch, short tail.

In contrast, Mugen Train built momentum even after opening weekend. It gained on weekdays and snowballed across WOM, casual viewers, and general audience draw. This isn't that.
>Current tally (estimate as of Sunday night, it's currently 21 PM in Japan)
5.4B (~$34M USD) after three days. That's incredible but it’s also frontloaded as hell.
Mugen Train was at ¥4.6B by Day 3, but with pandemic limitations, fewer screens, and no IMAX inflation.

With the yen still around ¥157–l-160 per USD, Infinity Castle would need to clear ¥40.5B just to match Mugen Train's ~$370M in 2020. That's mathematically impossible unless it literally has Mugen Train-tier legs, which it won't, because:
>Competition begins next week (Kamen Rider, Fantastic Four, Jurassic World)
>Showtimes will get slashed
>Theaters hate long runtimes (155 minutes is death for turnover)
>Burnout is setting in; there are no signs of widespread WOM outside core fans
This thing is frontloaded. The legs aren't Mugen-tier and the conversion rate murders the global optics. It’ll still be successful, but nowhere near Mugen.

Didn't he fuck the shit out of some thick village girl and made her pump out babies?

Sanemi and genyu seem like violent villains

>>280743274
Zenitsu looks fine, the issue is that people's standards naturally grew high due all of his previous scenes in the series being greatly enhanced, making him look way more impressive than in the manga. It's a situation where adapting something 1:1 now betrays your expectations, especially after the very same movie goes on to glaze Giyuu like he is a demigod, seriously, they made Giyuu vs. Akaza look infinitely more impressive and almost equally matched than it ever was in the manga.

>>280744248
Being alive is a punishment in itself for him
Giyu and Sanemi, two people who thought they didn't deserve to live, were the only two who survived. The irony is the point. Obanai wanted to die too but he found his reason to live. That's why he and Mitsuri died together.

>>280744216
>God, the things I to want in her to inside cum myself

I really wanted the femboy to live but I guess that would've been too happy.

>>280744383

You're thinking of Giyu

>>280744383
>muh inflation
Nobody cares.
>The Sunday numbers coming out now are solid, yes, but not explosive, and definitely not what would be required to put it on pace with Mugen Train in USD.
It literally couldn't have higher numbers than it currently has
>>Current tally (estimate as of Sunday night, it's currently 21 PM in Japan)
5.4B (~$34M USD) after three days.
You are way off.

>>280744396
Someone said this cut was done by Abe but those element effects don't look like Abe's usual style at all.

>>280744396
I guess the question now is why the discrepancy? Couldn't they boost Zenitsu the same way given his popularity and his biggest moment?

>>280744472
So a 6 billion weekend at the very least.

>>280744383
atleast you are no longer compare it to recap movie. you spent the years and the last few weeks it will do recap movie numbers. but now you only compare it to MUGEN TRAIN, the number 1 movie in japan. no longer used ONE PIECE, or detective conan.

you said KNY is forgotten. KNY is irrelevant.

When I make a manga 20 years from now, how can I get ufotable to adapt it? Do I have to be Japanese?

>>280744409
>>280744430
He also had confirmed descendant just can't remember if it was with another mystery girl

>>280744504
both giyu and sanemi had descendants, iguro, mitsuri, and gyomei all reincarnated, and most of the other surviving characters also had descendants

>>280744465
Zenitsu still has a moment where he attacks Muzan (with litle effect but still) and gives Tanjiro a moral speech boost, so that can still be enhanced if they so wish.

>>280738488 (OP)
I'm still baffled about the decision to include black void censorship. Did the movie fix it and finally add pantyshots? I'll support this movie greatly if they did

>>280744530
And tanjirou and his descendants were the horniest.

no i am certain that the movie will have LEGS and break MUGEN TRAIN because the curse man.

>>280742728
He didn't say that

>>280744561

That's the early chapters before /a/ over, unfortunately /a/ never went back to rework the early volumes, making one full package in the end.

>>280744188
>You understand it's only gotten EVEN MORE admissions with each passing day, right?
Yes. And do you know what that also means? That Saturday and Sunday are compensating for a frontloaded Friday. You're pointing at normal weekend behavior as if it's defying the laws of physics. Of course admissions go up through the weekend, that's how movies work in every country not called North Korea. Your fanboy ass thinks three packed days during a national holiday frame proves infinite stamina. It's like watching someone drink five energy drinks and call it "endurance training."
>IF didn't either, it's way higher than that, it hit that number before 3 pm
Cool. And what does it mean?

It just means it frontloaded EVEN HARDER, rofl. You're bragging about cashing out early like that's a long-term investing strategy. The more money you make early from stacked screens, inflated prices, merch bundles, and a literal national holiday, the harder it is to sustain past Week 2 when:
>IMAX gets handed back to Jurassic World
>Theater slots get redistributed
>The rewatchers are all burned out
>Casuals shrug and move on
It's mathematical. You don't win box office wars in 72 hours. You win it in month three when people are still dragging their auntie to see it "just once."
>I don't know what to tell you, it's going to assrape its competition
Yes, because Superman, Jurassic World, Kamen Rider, Fantastic Four, and Kokuhou are all going to line up to bend over because some underage fanboy declared so. Let's see how long the multiplexes keep those 18 daily Demon Slayer showings once the Hollywood tentpoles start stomping in with leaner runtimes, broader demos, and zero fatigue. Even Yahoo Japan's articles are warning about it. Yet, your fan ass thinks movie theaters are a loyalty club. They're not. They're a business.

>>280744641
That only happens for a second, unless you are watching some other camrip where that happens and genuinely blocks the screen for a long time.

>>280744396
Giyuu vs. Akaza was always evenly matched though, the issues are that A) the moment Giyuu powered up, Akaza matched him and B) Giyuu had no way of actually killing Akaza
The broad strokes of that were represented well in the movie IMO. Without Tanjirou doing something special Giyuu would've died no matter how flashy his showing was

Its sad how in this series Shinobu the competent, intelligent female fighter who isnt just there to be a hole in the endgame gets killed while 99% of shonen let its jobber whores live all the time. Fuck this.

>>280744544
>black voids
I thought that was something only games do

>>280744219
>You were wrong jimbo, take the L and move on.
No. You're bragging that the demand is capped by supply, which is the exact definition of frontloading. If a movie hits the ceiling early, it means it's already peaking, not that it's got more to give. That's not a flex, that’s a warning sign for legs. All you've proven is the audience that would have been spread across a week got crammed into three days because they oversaturated theaters like it's their final battle. And that's what I said would happen.

So guess what? You're quoting me and proving my point at the same time. I called it getting frontloaded and choked by runtime and that’s exactly what's being reflected in the admission pace and venue distribution.

If this were a race, Infinity Castle just sprinted the first 100 meters in 8 seconds, then immediately hit a wall labeled "two more months of releases." And you're waving a flag like it already won the marathon. My predictions are still tracking and the only thing collapsing is your mental stability.

>>280744663
Anon as someone who lives here for more than 20 years, i can guarantee you that no Superman,Jurassic World and Fantastic Four going to affect this movie. Nips in general don't give a fuck about west/world media at all, besides K-pop or some Tom Crusie movie.

>>280744723
>Giyuu vs. Akaza was always evenly matched though
What manga were you reading? Giyuu jumping through buildings with Akaza and going apeshit with him never happened before. The only time the manga ever shows Giyuu being a match for Akaza is when he awakens his Mark, and that was quick.

>>280744752
>Shinobu the competent, intelligent female fighter
She is WEAK thoughbeit and her poison niche gets stolen first by a demon whore that's infinitely better at it than her and also later on by a literal cat

>>280744752
>Shinobu the competent, intelligent female fighter
She isn't. She's a "smart character" written by a stupid author who doesn't think like a tactician and doesn't know how smart people actually think. And the same asspull poison that was used on Muzan, only makes her look like a suicidal idiot.
>revert Muzan to human
>halt his regeneration
>de-age him
>paralyze his perception of time
>emotionally damage him
>probably ruin his credit score
Her death was so easily preventable.

>>280744825
No it wasn't, you haven't read Demon Slayer

So cute.

>>280744769
Is KnY really as much of a cultural phenomenon over there as Im led to believe? What was it likw watching it blow up over there?

I drew my wife a few times (along with some hair braid and kimono studies). A lot of these are WIPs though. I should get back to finishing them...

>>280744768
retard. the movie did better in SUNDAY than Saturday than FRIDAY. how is that frontloaded?? its clear that WOM is great.
where is your data?? you talk with your ass. i thought you are data man. where is the data??where is the statistic. you talk nonsense.
if Conan and OP have 4-6 Multiplier (legs), KNY will easily match them and surpass them. Mugen train have 10 multiplier, no Blocksbuster movie have reach that since.

Its good to be back fellas. I missed you guys.

>>280744908
Not that anon but it's literally everywhere right now

>>280744949
Very nice anon!

Predictions on how much CSM movie is going to make compared to this? I'm betting 1/10th.

>>280744768
Who cares? Even if it's frontloaded, it's still going to earn over 20 billion yen and surpass One Piece Red and any Detective Conan movie

>>280744074
>>280744893
Seriously, why is the backstory right out of a guro doujin? I'm serious, read Boxer by Uziga Waita it's the same story with all the ridiculous porn logic that goes into it.

>>280744768
20B yen, Motherfucker. tick tock. tick tock.

>>280745033
I'd be surprised if it doesn't do 30 billion.
Especially with the extras they are SURELY reprinting.

>>280744768
Infinity Castle already surpass MHA's movie in its Opening Weekend. LOL. how do you feel???

>>280745026

Uphill battle after the director fiasco.

Does my wife get any scenes in the movie, or do I have to wait for the second movie?

>>280745202
She gets a couple bits where she fangirls Obanai.

>>280744878
Not an argument.
>>280744916
This argument assumes the suicide was the only viable delivery method, which only works if:
>Douma can't be poisoned externally (false: he's organic and has a bloodstream)
>He’s immune to small doses (unproven),
>There’s no way to coat weapons with it (contradicted by Tamayo's own successful poison engineering)
>Shinobu couldn't modify the delivery vector (absurd for someone portrayed as a skilled pharmacologist)
If the poison can work in small doses over time (as the Muzan arc proves), then delivering cumulative doses through cuts, inhalants, or repeated injections is not just possible, it's smarter and safer. You don't need a human sacrifice, you need a delivery system and teamwork. You're asking a bad question based on a false binary:
>"Either she kills herself or he never gets poisoned."
Which ignores:
>Combat opportunities for small dose exposure (cumulative buildup is a real phenomenon)
>Weaponized delivery methods
>Tactical bait-and-switches with Kanao
Shinobu didn't need to train to be a martyr. She needed to think like a scientist and work with her squad like a tactician. But the author wanted a sad death, not a logical one so logic was sidelined for vibes.

>>280745202
you're going to have to wait for the third to see any proper scenes with her lmao

>>280745214
>>280745218
It's not fair! I hope she gets some nice budget and sakuga in the next movie then...

>>280745033
its not frontload. frontload only happen in Hollywood. Japanese film in japan always have great legs.
average movie in america have 2-2.5 multiplier
average japanese movie have 4-5 multiplier.
Mugen train have 10.
Infinity castle can easily get 6. 8 is the best bet.
dont listen to that retard man, despite claim follow movie and box office, he didnt know jack shit about anything japanese related.

>>280744814
>Giyuu jumping through buildings with Akaza and going apeshit with him never happened before
It's just an extended version of the opening of the fight where Giyuu proves his strength as a "good" water Pillar to Akaza
You could say that isn't "matching" Akaza but then neither is the movie until the mark appears. Despite the amount of buildings they jump through Akaza is still clearly having fun with him just like he was in the manga
The general flow of the fight in the manga is
>opening rager
>Giyuu comes in and impresses Akaza while Tanjirou tries to find an opening with his help
>Akaza kicks Giyuu away and Tanjirou is put in survival mode
>Giyuu returns with the mark and actually gets Akaza to go all out
>Giyuu can't keep it up forever nor does he have an actual win con
>Tanjirou enters STW as Giyuu is on his last legs
>Akaza an heroes
All of that is well-represented in the movie IMO

>>280744908
>much of a cultural phenomenon over
Anon it wouldn't broke any records and top off it, if it wasn't a cultural phenomenon. Also contrary to popular belief westeners have, Kimetsu is popular among old people, cause to them Kimetsu is like a throwback to what they consume in their youth days.

>>280744544
It should have looked like this

Imagine...

>>280745132
>>280745026
forecast said that CSM movie will make 4-6 Billion yen in japan.
the problem is, if Infinity castle still popular 2 months later, will they delay the movie or try to compete???

>>280744908
Kimetsu is the only ip EVER to do what its doing right now
Its popular across every demographic
Collabs everywhere

Id wager kimetsu is the only social phenomenon that came out of manga/anime (unless you count pokemon as one)

>>280745333

Csm trailer is airing as ad before kny airs so its good marketing for it.

I'm about to be honest with you all. I never wanted to breed with anyone more than I want to with Mitsuri. Yes, I'm serious. That perfect, slim body. Those completely and utterly gargantuan breasts bordering on being downright obese. A literal hippopotamus. The pantyshot potential of a literal goddess. It honestly fucking hurts knowing that I'll never mate with her, pass my genies through her, and have her birth a set of perfect offspring to which we can spend the rest of our happy lives taking excellent care of them. I'd do fucking ANYTHING for the chance to get Mitsuri pregnant. A N Y T H I N G. And the fact that I can't is quite honestly too much to fucking bear. Why would Croc, Wani, Gotouge, Miyazaki, and ufotable create something so astoundingly perfect? To fucking tantalize us? Fucking laugh in our faces?! Give us a good slap in the dick and call it a day? Honestly guys, and I'm dead serious here, I just fucking can't anymore.

The desire to mate, the need for breed, any way you put it, none of it has ever been felt this intense before in my entire life of watching anime and consuming fictional universes. I would do so many things to just her thighs alone, and that's only the start. I would give her a sloppy helicopter just because I can. I would pump her tight butt like it was nobody's business. I would even go as far as to drink her pee if she ever needs to go when there's no toilet around. God, Jesus, all the gods listening and Buddha, all I ask for is a chance to burst inside of her, beyond the limitation. And I'm talking Raging Boner Burst here. We would assimilate so well together that she would feel the very core of my being pulsating inside and out. There are no words that exist to describe my immense love for this specimen of perfection, Mitsuri Kanroji.

What a disaster of mishandling that IP has, though the series has a cap ceiling given it's content the first season has probably alienated it's hardcore and new potential fans.

Ufo confirmed they put their other projects on hold, like the Genshin anime, so they could pull all resources for the movies

>>280745497
Kimetsu has been a yearly project since the start and parts of this movie have been in the works for over three years. I'd be surprised if it isn't 2026/2027.

>>280745440
i dont know man. forecast/prediction is hard. the same forecast also said that KNY will make 20B. maybe with big ad and marketing it will get more. even tho, they did the same thing in season 1 and eh, only popular on west online.

It's apparently being reported that japs are walking out of the threaters in tears.

>>280745535
it's been done before, look at the matrix

Probably to extinguish the fires from all the volume burning they did, a Yahoo Japan article told me Japanese are vocal and unhappy

>>280738488 (OP)
I finished watching this series recently and liked it so much that I read the manga to continue it. I think it's an unironic 9.5/10 series, with a few small critiques here or there. I think my biggest issue is the way stakes are handled for the most part. If I were to rewrite parts of the story, it would probably be something like:

Mugen Train: Rengoku dies like usual.

Red Light: Daki/Gyutaro fight goes the same but this time, Uzui and Inosuke both die. Uzui from his wounds, and Inosuke from being stabbed by Gyutaro. Daki/Gyutaro die like usual.

Village: Muichiro dies to Gyokko, and then Gyokko escapes and leaves Hantengu to fend off the rest. The only death vs Hantengu is Nezuko, where she is burned up by the sun. Hantengu dies like usual.

Fortress: Rengoku's father joins with Tanjiro and Giyuu to fight Akaza. Giyuu and Akaza die. Shinobu and Marked Zenitsu encounter Kaigaku, who would be more buffed up in this version to reflect the strength of an upper moon proper. Zenitsu is incapable of defeating him alone. All three of them die, Zenitsu and Kaigaku trade killing blows. Urokadaki shows up and finds Gyokko. After a near death 1v1 battle, Tanjiro and Rengoku's father show up, and the three of them take out Marked Gyokko. Kanao, Mitsuri, and Obanai fight Douma. Douma kills Kanao and Mitsuri, and Obanai lands the finishing blow on Douma. The fight with Koku is virtually the same as normal, except without Muichiro since Gyokko killed him in the previous arc. Obanai joins in, now enraged, and helps fight Koku. Koku and Genya die.

After: Tanjiro, Rengoku's Father, Urokadaki, Obanai, Himejima, and Sanemi battle Muzan. Rengoku's Father and Urokadaki perish, and Muzan laughs, but then is burnt by the sun light. Tanjiro becomes a demon like normal, and he kills Obanai. Himejima restrains Tanjiro while Sanemi lands a killing blow. Tanjiro is dead. Himejime dies shortly after from exhaustion and malfunction. Sanemi is the sole survivor.

>>280744949

its funny people claim that Ufo 'Milking KNY'. but KNY season 1 had 2 cour season (26 episodes) and yearly project always coming out.
meanwhile Mappa only made i cour for season 1. and then 3 years hiatus. and then make movie out of it (follow KNY suit, ofcourse, who doesnt want that money?) Thats MALPRACTICE and bad planning. Just not for fans at all.

>>280745764
its insane fucking cope that making high quality movies is "milking it"
like holy fucking shit the movies cover fucking 60 chapters

this isn't SnK with one chapter being a movie

Ufotable is milking KnY by giving its fans a high quality adaptation with a sensible release schedule, they must be stopped

>>280745497
Anime Rave isn't reliable

Reminds me of this image

>>280744953
>the movie did better in SUNDAY than Saturday than FRIDAY. how is that frontloaded?? its clear that WOM is great.
Because that pattern is exactly what happens during a holiday launch. Japanese box office historically builds into Sunday when you frontload screenings and ride off a multi-day national holiday. This is not legs, this is launch ramp. A movie isn't "not frontloaded" just because Day 3 > Day 2 > Day 1. It means the core audience stacked itself into opening weekend. That is textbook frontload.

Also:
>Limited theater count due to 155-minute runtime.
>Over 5,000+ daily screenings across formats.
>No breathing room for other films.
>Admission ceilings literally being hit.
That means everyone who could see it already did. There's no "growing momentum", there’s maxed-out demand crammed into a bottleneck.
>where is your data??
Where's YOUR data? All you're doing is yelling vague projections and emotional hypotheticals like:
>"If Conan and OP got 4-6x legs, KnY will match or surpass!!!"
Conan and OP both:
>Had shorter runtimes.
>Weren't split into 3-part adaptations.
>Faced less frontloaded saturation.
>And still took weeks to build momentum.
Meanwhile Infinity Castle:
>Already blasted 3.6B yen in 2 days.
>Saturated premium formats.
>Will start losing screens to Jurassic World, Kamen Rider, Fantastic Four
Your fantasy 4-6x multiplier puts the final gross at ¥14.4B-21.6B, which is literally my forecast range. So cngratulations, you just validated my WHOLE model while trying to "own" me.

>>280745764
most of the "milking" complaints are from the west/outside japan, cause it will take 2 months for them to watch it

>>280745033
Okay? And? I never said it would flop. I said it:
>Wouldn't replicate Mugen Train's freak run.
>Would be inflated upfront but not sustain.
>Would fall into the ¥15-20B yen range.
>Would top out around $180–200M worldwide.
And I'm still on track. If you clowns are now shifting from "Mugen Train 2.0" to "W-Well, at least it beat One Piece Film Red,” that's you moving the goalposts, not me.
>>280745050
It might hit ¥20B. And if it does, it'll be:
>With maxed-out marketing
>Oversaturated screens
>A split-adaptation boost
>And the most engineered rollout Ufotable has ever done
It won't touch Mugen Train's raw cultural domination or economic efficiency (¥40.4B in 2020 money = ~$370M USD, compared to ¥20B in 2025 = ~$125M USD). So even with that "W," it's a weaker global story.
>>280745092
>M-My Hero Academia!!
Don't care. Infinity Castle's marketing budget could buy 30 MHA movies and still have change for IMAX popcorn, rofl. That's like flexing that a Ferrari beat a Toyota in a race after putting nitro boosters, striping the road of competition, and hiring 5 pit crews. It's expected, not impressive.

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
2020 oricon part deux: electric boogaloo

>>280746085
Yes, I said that. And? It's still true, lmao. If Sunday is lower than Saturday, that suggests the peak was Day 2. If it's higher, it's still part of the holiday boost, not proof of long-term legs. And both of those are correct, no matter how many times you'tr chanting my quote like it's a Harry Potter spell.

Sunday being slightly higher or matching Saturday = exactly the kind of fan-surge inflation I've been forecasting. It's just milking the three-day opening rush, not unlocking some never-before-seen public wave of normie box office domination.

Saturday was juiced. IMAX, 4DX, every screen possible. Completely saturated. Sunday? Still saturated. But not a sign of extended legs, it's still part of the same event window. What happens on Tuesday-Thursday? What happens once Jurassic World hits? Exactly what I predicted: bloodbath.

>>280746355
It does not have 4dx
Sunday already set a new record

Are you retarded? Can you at least get correct information?

retard, you move the goal post so far that its rotating the earth.
you are lying piece of shit.

Could Tanjiro stand any chance whatsoever against UM1? Or would his senses tell him that it’s hopeless and immediately run? Of course, Tanjiro shouldn’t have stood any chance against Akaza but there was a goofy plot-weakness that he could exploit to win anyway. Does that mean that there will always be a convenient plot-weakness against all of the UMs if the opponent is Tanjiro?

The English sub recording of the movie is so bad. I read the manga and I can't even tell what's being said.

>>280746546
He IS a lying piece of shit who started three weeks ago it would do, AT BEST, 20 billion in Japan/we 200 million USD.
He also called himself a box office aficionado and almost every single post he's ever made is him seething at kimetsu.

>>280746323
You quoting me while ignoring my actual point is the most 4chan thing imaginable, so I'm hardly surprised reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, rofl. I said Saturday was turbo-charged: national holiday, frontloaded fanbase, oversaturated formats (IMAX, 4DX, etc.). If Sunday underperforms despite the infrastructure being in place, that implies the fan demand apexed early. Which = frontload. That's not even controversial. It's how most franchise-heavy anime films behave.

You're making up a strawman pretending I said:
>"If Sunday isn’t bigger, the movie flopped."
When that's not what I said. I explicitly stated that if Sunday was lower, which is normal, it means the opening high is frontloaded, not that the film is a disaster. You don't want to argue with what I actually wrote, so you're making up a retarded version and dunking on that instead. That's textbook cope.

Second, in Japan:
>Saturday is almost always stronger than Sunday.
>If Sunday doesn’t increase, it's normal.
>If Sunday DOES increase, it usually signals major word of mouth and multi-demo traction.
So either way:
>If Sunday dips = I'm right about fanburst frontload.
>If Sunday grows = the film might have longer legs than expected, but it still doesn't erase the massive frontload and it still doesn't equal Mugen Train-style legs.
That's the part your underage ass keeps pretending I didn't say. I've never argued Infinity Castle was unsuccessful, only that it's not replicating Mugen Train's unicorn scenario, and that frontloaded momentum =/= dominance.

hahahahahahahaha.
this guy basically have all the data:

that he used right now, and still think that the movie will just make like recap Movie. because KNY is forgotten. KNY is declining hard.

>>280746636

>>280745340
>forecast said that CSM movie will make 4-6 Billion yen in japan.
Why are you lying? Like this isn't even a smart prediction given how the anime flopped and manga sales keep dropping

>>280746447
>>bank on day one frontloaded btfo'd
False. I predicted frontloading. It happened. Opening day was inflated by:
>A national holiday
>IMAX and premium formats
>Merch bundles
>Marathon showings
>Zero competition for 72 hours
Literally every Japanese box office outlet has now noted this. Hell, Yahoo Japan reported that the film is already facing screening cuts from Week 2 onward.
That's not a "btfo," that's me being right.
>say Sunday will do worse than Saturday
And even if Sunday did go up slightly (which is normal for mega-openers in Japan during holidays), it doesn’t erase:
>The overall frontloaded pattern
>The ticket saturation
>And the fact that Day 3 didn't double Day 1 the way Mugen Train's legs did
You're clinging to 72-hour performance like it's gospel. Box office doesn't crown kings off weekends. It crowns them by Week 3.
>>280746546
>you move the goal post so far that its rotating the earth.
Nope. I gave a projected ceiling: ¥15-20B domestic, $180-200M global. That's not a goalpost, that's standard forecasting, that you underage brats don't understand. No serious analyst locks themselves into single-number guarantees. You're just mad that:
>I didn't shift your position
>But reality shifted toward my prediction
And now you look like an overhyped toddler screaming "guaranteed ¥40B+!!1!"
>>280746636
Cry more, bitch. All you've been doing is flinging recycled accusations that fall apart under even the lightest scrutiny like Muzan flinging his tentacles in his ass final battle. I don't even need to "win" the box office war anymore. You're giving me the win just by how hard you're coping.

I was right about the frontload. I was right about the legs being the real test. I was right about the inflated yen diminishing global impact. And the more time passes, the more my realism is matching reality while your hopium crashes into the box office ceiling.

>>280746555

Nevermind the obvious jump in quality compared to normal tv broadcast series.

conan and OP never have 20+% tv rating. KNY make 5 MILLION MORE manga sales per volume than OP. KNY is not average movie retard. KNY is not normal franchise, retard.
KNY Opening weekend is 6 Billion. So count your day, retard.
it will achieve by 17 Days MAX!!!!

>>280746927
He's very charismatic for better or worse

>>280746927
It's just really weird because it's not going to change anything. the movie is breaking all records, as is the manga, but then there is just this massive retard devoted to trying to convince everyone otherwise

why the fuck does he care so much about what we think

>>280746954
wait no. 14 DAYS.

>>280746902
>And the fact that Day 3 didn't double Day 1 the way Mugen Train's legs did
Because it literally doesn't have enough showings. Kimetsu is being limited by them.
>But reality shifted toward my prediction
But reality is moving away from your prediction and 300 billion is now the realistic if low forecast for Japan alone which would be the ww ceiling of your prediction..

>>280746970
He is charismatic in the same way that Chris Chan and DSP and Ethan Klein are charismatic

>>280744653
We love Susa

What the fuck is this box office autism going on ITT?

>>280746927

The thread was fun before him.

>>280747015
Goal posts have moved off the field ever since the
>"It won't beat mugen train!:"
cope died

The quality is just ridiculous, like the first 40% of the movie that Ufotable uses to bait you into thinking the movie is going to be "this" good is already at a level that other series can't match
Then Akaza starts

>>280746927

>I hope you realize that a runtime of 150 minutes is like 7 episodes, right?
Mugen Train TV was stretched to fit the format/edited to fit the format and nothing was lost just because an allowed runtime is given doesn't mean it'll run exactly for the same amount of episode

>Nevermind the obvious jump in quality compared to normal tv broadcast series.

Even with the camrip out all these retards are talking about is box office numbers. Not even /tv/ is this pathetic

Watching the camrip now, and damn, the cute little blush on Mitsuri when Obanai tells her to calm down. Maybe I was too hard on Ufotable...

>>280747158
MT is really more like an OVA.
But IF is a movie through and through.

>>280747270
They are delivering what they can on that ship.

>>280747247
To be fair it's just one schizo and some people baiting him into a frenzy. Wish he went back to spamming doushino considering this movie covers that, but alas, he chose to die on the BO hill.

>The Heavens anoint KnY as the first battle shonen manga to receive an unbeliavably ambitious and extremely well-planned, obscene-quality adaptation
>retards complain that they would prefer your standard Naruto/Bleach "sometimes it looks great" business-as-usual slop as long as UFO pumped episodes out faster


I am so glad I was born in the right timeline.

>>280747272
Well I'll go watch the camrip later on and see

>>280747303
I'm honestly glad. All KnY ships sorely needed some more interactions desu.

>>280747158
Mugen Train's production values weren't as big of a jump from the TV series as Ufotable also had to work on the last Heaven's Feel movie. For Infinity Castle, it seems like all hand on deck for the project with a lot of good freelance animators too.

>>280747323
It's not like the author is delaying it or something.¨
Kimetsu is done, you can go, pick it up and read it.
This is waiting for a REALLY premium adaptation of that thing you liked it, waiting isn't an issue here because you already know how it goes.

>>280746718
You know what else turns feelings into reality? Hallucinations. This is a religion now. You're not even using data anymore, you're just invoking “KnY” like it's a miracle talisman. "KnY turns feelings into reality" is not a flex, it's a confession that you've run out of arguments and is now hoping faith alone pushes it past ¥30B. It won't. Not unless Aniplex invents time travel.
>>280746767
Nice revisionism, dipshit. I never said Infinity Castle would make recap movie money. I said:
>It wouldn't repeat Mugen Train
>It would likely cap ¥15-20B
>It had stronger tools (summer, IMAX, holidays) but weaker long-term appeal
You're misquoting my arguments because my actual points are too solid to attack directly. That's textbook strawman strategy.
>"I-I can't beat your argument, so I'll make up a dumber one and beat that instead!!"
Clown behavior.
>>280746954
Irrelevant stat flex. I'd walk through your dumbness each point at a time, dumbass:
Manga volume sales =/= movie ticket sales.
TV ratings =/= box office revenue.
Mugen Train's success came from cultural timing and rewatchability, not just fandom size. No one gives a shit if the manga outpaced One Piece when that manga ended 5 years ago.

>>280747323
>unbeliavably ambitious and extremely well-planned, obscene-quality adaptation
>one season per year with a stretched out filler season followed by a movie trilogy

Wow...so unique and ambitious

>>280746994
>Because it literally doesn't have enough showings.
This is the cope of death.
>"I-It's not making more money because theaters didn’t give it more showings!"
That's not a flex, that's a ceiling. It means the movie has peaked in screen saturation. If it had hit 6 billion with room to expand, that's a win. But when you've already maxed out every format, every time slot, and you're saying it can't go higher... Congrats, you hit your upper limit on Day 3. You're bragging about Infinity Castle not having room to grow. That's not dominance, that's plateauing at record speed.
>But reality is moving away from your prediction and 300 billion is now the realistic if low forecast
Delusional self-parody.

You mean 3 billion yen after Day 2, but you accidentally said 300 billion and didn't even notice. That's more than all-time Japanese domestic box office history in one film. You thijk Infinity Castle is about to gross more than Spirited Away, Mugen Train, Titanic, and The Matrix combined.

Delusional.

>>280747769

>>280747558
>>Dont drag out with unnecessary canon cashgrab movies
Bones literally delivered subpar canon content during seasons because they try harder for their filler movies. they don't treat MHA as a proper story, but as a toy box that can make them money if they use the action figures in their own fanfiction (that receives much more polish and care than the canon content).

very weird franchise situation.

>>280747401
Anime fans, especially Japanese people, are some of the most gullible, boot-licking retards ever who'd pay double the price for what's basically just three episodes patched together that'll be streamed for free and buys into the illusion of a "cinematic experience" because they watch their TV show on the big screen. They're even dumber than video game losers and capeshitters because at least video game losers rage about microtransactions, predatory monetization, broken releases and demands accountability while capeshitters pays to actually watch a movie.

>>280747342
I'm just glad the author didn't give in to pressure and didn't make Shinobu and Giyuu an actual real thing and just mentioned they talked to each other to stop the fans from killing her.

>>280747848
>Bones literally delivered subpar canon content during seasons
Doesn't matter, Bones are finishing MHA on record time while Ufotable are padding out a story that ended half a decade to gullible retards like (You).

Infinity Castle isn't even long, it's shorter than most big battle shounen arcs. JJK's Shibuya was 58 chapters by comparison, lmao.

Nobody cares about "record time". Are you bragging about MHA being fast food? Any MHA fan would choose to wait more if they got higher quality because of it, they just don't have that option.

Superman can't even beat Kohoku's 6th week and that guy think it's above Demon slayer.

Irrelevant because Bones is STILL
>adapting the full story
>finishing the manga faithfully

You can criticize Bones for dipping in quality, but at least they’re respecting the narrative timeline. Unlike Ufotable, which is prioritizing cash flow over closure
Your ''toy box'' analogy is ironically more true for KnY

Retard, MHA was ongoing while the anime was ongoing
And the manga is longer too
KnY is A LOT shorter, it's shorter than most other manga of the same genre and the anime started when the manga was about to end
No excuse to turn a 47 chapter arc into 3 movies except milking

>>280749033

Kimetsu?

Your seething here won't change the fact that the 3 movies will all get made, and they'll all be extremely popular

Spend your time on more fun things and be happy, would be better.

>>280748845
To buy time and hype the movie, which is canon. See the difference? Canon content is king, filler is a tool to enhance it. With MHA, it's the opposite.


>>280748939
>The movies have never effected the production of the TV series

Go watch the My Villain Academia episodes again, you lying faggot.


>>280749037
>Your ''toy box'' analogy is ironically more true for KnY

Manga moments in KnY receive maximum care.
For MHA, filler villains have much better fighting scenes than canon villains. The toy box analogy is perfect, BONES has more fun using Deku and Bakugo as tools to write fanfiction, instead of giving their best on the original story.

Either this an elaborate grand troll or just a butthurt capefag. Why use MHA of all series to pit against Demon slayer

>>280749532

>>280749954
>how does that change the point being made?
The fact that MHA has had two movies and seasons since then and rather than use the latest one you use one from 4 years ago and the funniest part is that you're still wrong because the movie didn't effect the production

when jeremy know one word. he keep repeating himself. like parrot or like pokemon. thats how low iq he is.
Word of the day is hypocrite.

>people are unironically defending Aniplex's kikery

Knyfags are worse than Disney and Nintendo fans combined

>>280750010
>>dragging 47 chapters over three theatrical events
If they are legitimately animating the whole thing it's over 70 chapters of content.

>>280750195
As a Gintamafag i wish Aniplex did milked it more.

douma patting shinobu's head when she's getting absorbed was hot imagine smooching her dead corpse as she sinks into his body haha that would be kinda funny right

>>280750296
okay, shiteater. peedrinker

>>280750296
Yes I actually defend it because i want koku to be the highest quality and i want to see it on imax

The manga ended, i know the story. waiting years is not a problem for me at all

>>280750002
>Yesss look at all the money Aniplex is going to make

>>280750232
it looked like shit.
if the movie didn't affect production, than Bones just didn't care enough to deliver something decent. I'm sorry you guys have to put up with that, I'm so glad UFO-chan chose the kimetsucock.

>box office redditor mask comes off
>muh decuck academia posting in full throtle
So in the end it was just jealousy it got the better adaptation with more popularity after all.

>>280750296
Haikyuufags definitely wish their series is being milked like this and not what TOHO and IG doing with it.

>>280750353
>Yes I actually defend it because i want koku to be the highest quality and i want to see it on imax
Let me translate that
>I'm a bootlicking cocksucker who's OK with being exploited as long as I get my dopamine rush

>>280750442
That's fucking criminal.

>>280750361
I'm not the one posting essays and analyzing economies just to cope and hope about demon slayer flopping for literal months at minmum and near a decade most likely. YOU are
I simply buy a ticket and enjoy the movie

>>280750232
the quality become shit. fans leaving. 1.1 M in 2 weeks for FINAL season is funnily bad. the same number KNY's fans show up this days to watch 2.5 hours movies.

>>280750383
>I'm sorry you guys have to put up with that, I'm so glad UFO-chan chose the kimetsucock.
Yeah....

>>280750451
another repeat phrase. lol. low iq.

>>280750562
Shut up bitch
You're just another bootlicker who sucks a billion dollar company's cock for free

>>280750442
Kimetsu movie are adapting 66 chapters into trilogy with almost 3 hrs run time, meanwhile Haikyuu's are adapting 80 chapters into 2 movies with a 1,5 run time. and that's with Kimetsu being mostly fight while Haikyuu is a fucking match game

>>280750813
Haikyuu movies are trash in pacing are you retarded? they're tokyo ghouling it

>>280750813
What they are doing with HQ is terrible, everyone knows.

>>280750842
That was my point retard. Haikyuufags would definitely want their series to be milked like Kimetsu

>>280750983
>Haikyuufags would definitely want their series to be milked like Kimetsu
>HQ fags want movies that span across several years than a season to finish everything

>>280751064
Yeah? That's already the case so at least make them good instead of shit?
But talking about quality to a mhafag is meaningless, considering how its anime looks.

Y’know, I actually bought the whole “KnY’s popularity is waning wahwahwah” thing, then I suddenly wake up to news articles how it beat the shit out Mugen Train’s 3-day opening in just half that time.
I don’t really care what happens in Japan because I’m a filthy American nigger, but denying KnY’s further success sounds delusional. It’s like rape to it’s detractors. Now matter how hard you scream, cry, kick, or struggle; it’s still happening.

>>280751111
I like how you have no defense for this. You're not even a good bootlicket

>>280751064
man, why are you so retarded??? did you have brain damage???

>>280751064
With how last season went they would definitely want to have a much more quality movie than being outsourced to chinks and vietnamese as finale send-off to their series.

Why is there such a giant power gap between UM1 and UM2? In fact, isn’t UM2 weaker than UM3?

>>280750813
I don't understand why haikyuu got this treatment, literally more popular than mha and they could have given it 3 movies easily. Why?

>>280751111
You don't even watch MHA to begin with

>>280751223
nepo baby

>>280751223
akaza would be stronger than doma if he didn't have homosexual taste buds

>>280751223
Douma rapes Akaza, in fact, Akaza has no counterplay to Douma's demon arts because they have no fighting spirit.
They are PROPERLY ranked in order.

>>280751210
To the Top was great

>>280751247
many had, and only few remain.

>>280751141
See
>>280750361

>>280751210
Going from s3 to s4 was fucking depressing, Ushiyama's match was the peak of its style and animation.

>>280751234
Probably more on IG being done with the series. cause TOHO wouldn't definitely passed on it being a trilogy

>>280751223
Cause UM1 literally trained in the art of killing demons and becoming a demon just make him more powerful in that aspect. The ranking is kinda fucked because the way they ranked is by fighting each other, not fighting demon slayers. A demon can have a super busted power against human but do fuck all against demons or vice versa.
>I can freeze the lung of everyone around me, rendering breathing impossible
>Yeah but demon don't need to breath

>>280750527
?
still glad lol

>>280751298
Kimetsu trannies...don't look

>>280751141
Amerifat social media always gets angry at anything that wasn't made popular by amerifat social media.

>>280751382
So the problem is you'll consoom any slop. Got it

>>280751397
>international sales: 40 million with 40+ volumes
>56 million with 23 volumes
Sorry herotard, your fans literally won't pay.

>>280751397
It didn't beat shit, kny had 20 million viewers in japan alone
Naruto was the most viewed in netflix worldwide. demon slayer was third there

So where exactly is it more popular? crunchyroll? DS is also more popular but we have no hard data

was good over all save for some flashback parts dragging. there were two instances of weird parts where they used a lot of stills for action scenes. i wonder if they will change these for blu ray

>>280751399
They still uses the Ep 19 made it popular to this day. legit the most delusional people in the planet.

>>280751289
I don’t get it, if UM3 has un unbeatable combat ability which can only lose if he wants to lose, how is UM1 considered to be God in comparison?

How did Kimetsu manage to keep its popularity 5 years after ending while mha was forgotten while its final arc was being written?

>>280751467
>They still uses the Ep 19 made it popular to this day. legit the most delusional people in the planet.
Meanwhile in reality:
>Regarding the series' sudden huge success, Weekly Shōnen Jump editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano stated that the manga sales shot up straight after its anime adaptation finished, explaining that a large number of people watched the series through streaming services after it ended rather than watching it weekly. Nakano also stated that currently is harder for a manga series running in the magazine to become a hit, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba despite having started in February 2016, did not became a major hit until late 2019, adding that its "success hinged on word of mouth generated after the anime's run".

>>280751492
Kokushibo can use the transparent world, which nullifies his compass.
Douma can send ice clones that have zero killing intent, which nullfies it too.
Akaza's overreliance on his compass is why he can't beat them, he fights like an automaton.

>>280751492
Because Koku trained in demon killing art. He has the Transparent World which he can basically predict every single action Akaza would make. It doesn't matter if Akaza can auto-counter if Koku just cut through his arms. Plus he can't break Koku sword.

>>280751433
>>280751454
Here comes the cope

>>280751535
Yeah, word of mouth aboutt how the manga is great.
That's why it kept snowballing in popularity

>>280751454
>it didn't beat it
>why
>because I said so

So this is how Kimetsu trannies act when they can't hide behind numbers

>>280751526
Cause "series fatigue" actually do exist, it's just happen to MHA or other long running series and not to Kimetsu whom people said going to.

>>280751644
Because all hard data such as netflix or official japan tv viewership refutes it

unless you have any hard data from streaming site?

>>280751611
>Yeah, word of mouth aboutt how the anime is great.
Yup.
>Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba despite having started in February 2016, did not became a major hit until late 2019
>its "success hinged on word of mouth generated after the anime's run"
Ufotable really saved it from fading off into obscurity in the Jumpshit graveyard

>>280751743
Ufotable put eyeballs on it.
If the animation was all kny had, then the manga would have flopped. just like people didn't care about mha manga, or solo leveling, or otther well animated manga

>>280751397
So long, Decuck.
You won't be missed in the Top 10.

>>280751526
>>280751684
>while mha was forgotten while its final arc was being written?
???

Didn't even become a hit manga until it was about to die and Ufo gave it some red bull

>>280738488 (OP)
I thought nintendies would’ve funded the sequel, what happened?

>>280751999
>it's harder for manga series running in the magazine to become hits
>series gets an anime
>it becomes a hit
That's what an anime should do, yes.

Strange, Koyuki's voice is the singer of all those Persona 5 songs, Lynn, one would imagine she would have a special song of her own during Akaza's backstory.

>>280751999
What's wrong with an anime boosting a manga exactly? That's what an anime supposed to do. get people to know and read the manga

>>280752158
Lynn does normal voice acting too.

I am in absolute awe at how bad the English in this thread is.

>>280752200
That's what happens when he actually starts posting instead of running everything through chat and 20 minute breaks.

>>280751855
now lets take a look at MHA's final season trailer views.

>>280751999
so you agree or not that UFO is doing great for KNY?? i thought you mad at UFO for milking it??? but now you mad to KNY being MADE???? Holy low iq. where is your consistency??

I want to see my husband animated!

>>280752632
He has no consistency nor any logic. All he has is one goal, to hate on kimetsu and try to bring it down. Even though all his tries absolutely fail in the most horrible ways

He doesn't understand hate brings awareness, apathy is what kills things. if he wanted kimetsu to be forgotten he'd stop talking about it. But he can't.

>>280744769
You don't live in Japan, rofl.
>Jurassic World
$75M in Japan. Monster hit, including legs in summer. That's more than any MCU movie has ever done there. Hell, more than The Force Awakens in Japan.
>Fallen Kingdom
$72M. Basically identical.
>Dominion
$46M despite franchise fatigue and pandemic-era hesitance.

Rebirth has right now grossed $648M worldwide. It's tracking to break $700M next weekend and then $800M too and that's without counting Japan. And you're telling me that a legacy franchise with a proven audience in Japan, dropping weeks into Infinity Castle's run, won't steal showtimes and general audience share? You've got better odds arguing Ghibli doesn’t matter.

These films absolutely matter to the Japanese box office. Anyone living "20 years" in Japan should know that. Even Yahoo Japan articles says Jurassic World will be a threat to Demon Slayer. You're just mad you're losing the narrative.
>>280749006
Superman is in its second week in Japan with limited rollout and a culturally non-dominant IP. And despite that? It charted Top 3, with great per-screen averages and raked in $2.5M. Kokuhou (which is also playing on 277 theaters and has a culty audience) is heavily legging, that's normal for mid-sized Japanese hits. But it's not some "death blow" proof. Now add the fact that Superman is cleaning house globally:
>$400M+ in under 3 weeks.
>$235M DOM and $171M Int'l.
That's already more than Mugen Train ever made in a whole year, rofl. And it's on track to pass $500M.

>>280752982
>has a culty audience
it's a new live action movie you faggot.not some secret cult book turned movie to say it has a culty fanbase. You really know nothing

>>280751141
This is just delusional cope wrapped in selective memory. Mugen Train opened during Covid and theaters weren't even at full capacity. Its three-day total was ¥4.6B on non-premium screens, no IMAX blitz, no national holiday, and no advance ticketing stampede. Infinity Castle hit ¥3.6B in two days, with maxed-out premium formats, a holiday-enhanced Friday, and more showings per theater.

That's not even an apples-to-apples comparison. That's putting a firecracker next to a nuke and pretending they're both fireworks.

Also, inflation. ¥4.6B in 2020 > ¥5.5B in 2025. In real currency-adjusted value, Mugen Train is STILL ahead. So cope more.

>>280752982
>That's already more than Mugen Train ever made in a whole year, rofl. And it's on track to pass $500M.
meanwhile mugen train budget
>15 million
>507 million box office
3280% return on investment

Superman
>225
>400
on the red, still over 100 million on the red. Zero profit.

>>280753126
>with maxed-out premium formats, a holiday-enhanced Friday, and more showings per theater.
That's literally wrong, it does not have all premium formats, nor does it have more seats

why do you lie so blatantly?

>>280753126
>Mugen Train is STILL ahead
But it's at at least 6 billion based on not even complete admissions dude, get with the times.
And your WHOLE argument with mugen train hinged on it being the only thing you could even watch on cinemas.
And as everyone knows, it broke MT's admission records, for three days straight.
Just admit you lost and move on, it's been six years.

>>280752982
>Rebirth has right now grossed $648M worldwide. It's tracking to break $700M next weekend and then $800M too and that's without counting Japan.

Giyuu jobbed too at the end of his sakugafest.
It happens.

>>280752672
good taste

This report is not about box office data, but it indirectly confirms the super popularity of Demon Slayer.
According to the announcement issued by AEON Nagoya Chaya on July 20,
Demon Slayer attracted a large number of customers due to its popularity. On July 20, because the production of popcorn could not keep up with the demand and the inventory was difficult to guarantee, it was decided to temporarily stop the sale of popcorn. In addition, the number of customers increased sharply, and the "ice-making" function of the ice machine could not meet the demand, so the supply of ice cubes for drinks was suspended.

>>280753126
many anons already predict this shit. even if IC ahead in yen and admissions, he will always used dollars to make it look like it flop.
just spot on.

>>280753078
You have no idea what culty means, rofl. Calling Kokuhou "culty" efers to its target audience and box office behavior, not whether it was adapted from a Tumblr blog. It's a prestige, arthouse-style release: slow-burning, with strong weekday holdovers, not frontloaded. It's the exact kind of movie Japanese cinephiles rally behind as counterprogramming to anime dominance, especially during bloated anime event releases like Infinity Castle. So no, it's not for normie masses. It's doing ~¥300-500M weekly because ADULTS are watching it, repeatedly, across premium late-night and indie theaters. If that's not culty, neither is Drive My Car.
>>280753163
Lmao. This is a red herring wrapped in cope. My argument was about box office dominance and legs, not ROI. But I'd humor you still. Yes, Mugen Train had massive ROI. Because it was produced like a mid-tier TV episode, not a Hollywood tentpole. Superman has a higher budget because it’s a Hollywood blockbuster with global distribution and expensive CG, sets, actors, etc.

It's already made $400M+ in 2 weeks. It'll break even at minimum and become profitable on VOD, merch, HBO Max streaming, and physical sales. Demon Slayer doesn't play that game.
ROI =/= cultural dominance
ROI =/= longevity or cinematic legacy
ROI is something investors care about, not underage fans pretending it makes their movie more globally relevant.

>>280753126
currency valuation is not inflation

>>280753995
20B retard motherfucker. tick tock, tick tock.

>>280753995
>ll break even at minimum and become profitable on VOD, merch, HBO Max streaming, and physical sales
Nobody gives a single shit about superman merch, while kny merch is flying off the charts.

>HBO MAX
this is the same company, paying itself?
>VOD, physical sales
will be less than kimetsu bd sales. as nobody buys physical anymore in the west, let alone for a dc movie.
kimetsu will uniroincally be more profitable than superman

>>280753995
>ROI =/= cultural dominance
>ROI =/= longevity or cinematic legacy
Kimetsu already has this btw. as proven by it ending 5 years ago and still dominating Japan harder than ANY past or ongoing IP.

>>280753995
KNY already DOMINANCE than anything in japan.
it have number 1 movie of all time
it had biggest manga sales in 1 year record (82 millions, vs 35 millions 2nd place OP)
it had the biggest average manga sales ever

5 years and they still dominating the industry,. add for another 4 years (trilogy).

>>280753191
Just straight up wrong.
>IMAX
Check.
>4DX
Check.
>MX4D, Dolby Cinema, ScreenX
Also check, and theater listings confirm this.
>Marathon showings and fan events across multiple cities
Confirmed. Especially on opening day with 18-40 daily showings in select venues.

This was a maximum blast strategy: cram every fan into every premium seat possible, then squeeze more value out of Day 1 headlines. It's the anime movie equivalent of a Fortnite launch. As for "more seats", some theaters had fewer seats per room, yes. But Demon Slayer still took up more total screen real estate nationwide than Mugen Train ever did in its first 48 hours. The data's out there if you want to stop larping and go look.
>>280754011
Yes, currency valuation refers to exchange rates, and inflation is price level increase. BUT, in the context of box office conversion and global reporting, a weaker yen erodes dollar value of Japan’s earnings. That's the only relevant point here. I never said "Japan has runaway inflation." What was said is that the yen's nosedive makes ¥20B today worth ~$125M, not the ~$185M it was worth in 2020. That's not "goalpost shifting," that’s basic forex reality. Your dumbass is arguing semantics because you can't argue economics.
>>280754118
Delusion boiled down to its purest essence. It's a successful, highly popular franchise. Never said otherwise. But "dominating Japan" five years later? That's projection. What's actually happening:
>TV ratings dropped
>Manga sales fell off a cliff post-finale
>Merch shifted to residual/legacy status
>Movie performance relies on frontloaded fans + format gimmicks
>Every arc now has diminishing overseas returns
And you don't stretch the endgame across three movies unless you're afraid one single movie won’t carry on its own. This is not "still peaking." This is milking the last cow on the farm. Rofl.

>>280754565
>>4DX
>Check.
where's the source

Also you said it had more seats, give the source?
>>TV ratings dropped
Declinced by 1% or 2%. Still higher than Sazae san. and still tens of millions higher from the other shonen jump anime.
>>Manga sales fell off a cliff post-finale
72 million added from 2021
>>Merch shifted to residual/legacy status
what cope is this?
>>Movie performance relies on frontloaded fans + format gimmicks
another blatant cope and lie
>>Every arc now has diminishing overseas returns
this will get destroyed within two months kek

Also for the love of god stop using chatgpt you fucking faggot.

>Jeremy so mind broken he now repeats his old debunked copes
>even the things he said don't matter like tv ratings

oh jeremy....

>>280754073
>Nobody gives a single shit about superman merch, while kny merch is flying off the charts.
Cool. Want a sticker? This was a box office conversation, and you're shifting to consumer products because you're losing that angle. Yes, Demon Slayer slays in Japan. And? Superman's profitability doesn't hinge on plushies and capsule machines, it hinges on:
>Streaming rights
>Global syndication
>Licensing deals
>HBO/Max rollout
>Evergreen VOD/physical
Plus it has actual international pull, which Demon Slayer still struggles with outside of niche anime markets.
>kimetsu will uniroincally be more profitable than superman
Kimetsu’s profitability is a fraction of what it used to be. If it was printing money, they wouldn’t be dragging out the final arc over three theatrical releases like it’s the last bag of rice in a famine. Ufotable’s ROI gameplan is padding runtime to milk IMAX and merch bundles. That's not domination, that's monetization gymnastics.
>>280754063
Yeah. Tick tock indeed. Because guess what happens the moment that 20B hits?
>Fantastic Four hits
>Kamen Rider hits
>Jurassic World starts clawing at IMAX slots
>Legs fall off
>Showings decrease
>Week 3 softens
>And final total crawls to ¥22-24B max
Which, again, proves my point, not yours.

>>280754830
>and you're shifting to consumer products because you're losing that angle.

Jeremy your chatbot is malfunctioning, tell him you brought up that point

>And final total crawls to ¥22-24B max


This is the next sentence I want you all to focus on. Hang on to it. To be continued in Week 3.

>>280754303
>KNY already DOMINANCE than anything in japan.
First off, grammar has left the building. Second, no, not anymore. Demon Slayer was an unmatched cultural earthquake in 2020-2021. No one's disputing that. But this "DOMINANCE" chant in 2025 is delusional. What it's doing now is riding momentum, not recreating a takeover. That's like saying the iPhone 6 still dominates just because people still use iPhones. Lmao.
>it have number 1 movie of all time
Yup, IN JAPAN. But that title comes with a fat asterisk:
>Covid-era vacuum
>Zero competition
>Mass closures worldwide
>Repeat viewers out of pure boredom
>Weak yen inflating domestic box office in yen terms (but devaluing global relevance)
It's the GOAT in a petri dish. No repeatable model there.
>it had biggest manga sales in 1 year record (82 millions, vs 35 millions 2nd place OP)
Yep. 82 million copies in a single year is wild. Never said that wasn't a historic achievement. But it was a flash flood. Post-finale, the volume sales tanked because it ended unlike long-runners like One Piece that sell steadily for 20+ years. So Demon Slayer sold everything in a 2-year sprint while One Piece is selling for 3 decades and counting marathon. Context matters.
>it had the biggest average manga sales ever
Also true, but again: average doesn’t mean sustained impact. A 23-volume completed series will obviously have high averages if it sold like wildfire for 18 months. That doesn't mean it's dominant now, it means it exploded once and is now coasting.
>5 years and they still dominating the industry
Nope. It dominated for two years: 2020 to 2022. It's been a top-tier title, but not "dominant."
>add for another 4 years (trilogy).
Lmao. Yeah, and if it doesn't hold legs or general interest wanes even more, you'll be "DOMINATING" the back half of the box office charts in 2026.

>>280755104
Kimetsu mogs
facts over feelings
Kimetsu is a non repeatable masterpiece

>>280755166
I am over 35 and I have never read or watched it.

KnY's fat asterisk is that God himself literally wanted Mugen Train to be historical, and Planet Earth had to bend itself with a pandemic to allow it to happen.

Mandate of Heaven.

I'm so glad I bet on the Blessed Horse early on. Imagine spending the rest of my days seething against God's Chosen Chinese Cartoon.

It would be hellish.

>>280755287
Should I read the manga or try the show?

>>280755287
Based words of truth

>>280755070
Your fear is showing off behind the Baki reaction pic. Afraid Infinity Castle's box office will be cut short by dinosaurs? Lmao. Even the Japanese wrote articles on Yahoo Japan saying Jurassic World will be a threat to Demon Slayer and a lot of fans are even expressing concerns.

>>280755287

>whole point of the climax of the movie is "don't sell your soul, do the right thing, don't become a demon"

i'm convinced

Pathetic. But cute.

>>280755070
crazy thing even his new cope prediction puts kimetsu at top 5 of all time

>sunday's thread performs better than saturday's thread

just like the movie kek
