This is why Japanese movies will never popular as Korean ones

Quick google search says it will be available through crunchyroll later in the year, so you complaint for nothing really.

yeah their inability to distribute media means anime movies suck for the global audiences who have to wait 6 months for a bd to discuss them

meanwhile some tiny fraction of the audience goes watch it in theaters because there was 1 showing in france capital for 3 days

>>280805536 (OP)
I miss when anime was Japan only.

Only good shonen like My Hero and Chainsaw get Western theatre releases

>>280805536 (OP)
I thought simultaneous US release isn't happening this time around because of Trump's tariffs on foreign movies.

>>280805536 (OP)
When Korean movie is declining so that flop in America like thunderbolt is so popular in Korea? Korean movie is dying.
That's why flop like Emilo(pixar) and Thunderbolt is so popular in Korea than their movies. Even seed freedom earned more than any Korean film. Bong jun ho admits Japanese anime's power on secondary sales. Which Korea and China are weak at, as solo leveling's flop causing kakao, a-1, aniplex to suffer loss.
And Korean and Chinese IPs cannot get on world's most grossing IP ranking on pic rel. Japanese IPs mog every Hallyu slops in sale.

>>280805536 (OP)
Korean movie? When Korean movies are only popular in their nation? While even Korean weebs wants to watch shits like seed freedom, Maidragon and kitsume no omeko? And Mario film mogs Every Korean movie.

>>280805945
I love how despite being mostly unknown in the west Anpanman mogs Barbie, Marvel, Disney Princess, Harry Potter with Asian markets alone. This puts in perspective the difference between the global market and the West.

>>280805536 (OP)
Same-day global distribution was a mistake
Fansubbing groups no longer exist, and now all zoomer streamtards can make a gay fandom out of anything and ruin any and all discourse
I wish 90% of anime was hidden behind geolocked websites

>90% of anime fans watch dubs
>WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?

Cause you watch dubs.

The only Korean movie a shitload of people might know is parasite.

>>280805536 (OP)
korean movie is not even juggernaut in their country anymore. while Japan still dominate by their own IP, no matter what hollywood make.

This board's knowledge of Korean media and culture is akin to a toddler's, unsurprisingly.

It's just a couple months this time.
And for the record imax is so worth it for this movie.

>>280805536 (OP)
I agree. It's the same retarded plan that happened with Godzilla Minus One. It boggles my mind why Japs are this incompetent.

>>280807092
Because domestic market matters more than the foreign one, see >>280805945
Why bother wasting their own resources for some non-buying gaijin who only bring a small fractions of profits?

>>280807179
In kimetsu's case it can easily do 100+ million overseas.

>>280805568
We used to have theatrical events too though.

>>280805588
>meanwhile some tiny fraction of the audience goes watch it in theaters because there was 1 showing in france capital for 3 days

I'm so fucking mad.

>>280805876
It was always slated for Sept in the US long before that.

>>280805588
Kimetsu at least is gonna get a wide release everywhere (except China where they are still pissy about Japan murdering a few million people)

>>280807283
>we
still do
live in a better country I guess

>>280807283
it'll be shown on imax from 9/11 in the west with an asian release one month before this

>>280807321
i think they did it for cannes, no? they have to show it on a limited release to be able to qualify for awards

>>280805589
same

>Japanese movies will never popular as Korean ones
literally what the fuck are you talking about, you clueless cretin

Is it this one that our movie theatre chain is advertising?

>>280805876
There's no tariffs on foreign movies, and if you understood how tariffs work, you'd realise how retarded the idea is.

>>280805589
>Japan was the main audience of anime
>To get into anime you had to understand their culture and respect it
Those times will never come back anon...

>>280808387
tariffs in general are a retarded idea

>>280805536 (OP)
buy an add

>>280805589
>>280808489

You know ya don't speak Japanese, who ya foolin

>>280805536 (OP)
learn japanese and travel to Japan, fag.
>t. saw the Kobayashi Dragon Maid Kanna movie in theatres on opening day

>>280808530
it has come through a few times. in 1985 the US entered something called the plaza accords with japan and a bunch of eu countries as well as a double-whammy of tariffs which triggered japan's lost decades and transformed it into a service economy
it was so effective that they're feeling it even now and is part of the reason why it's become such a cultural-export powerhouse

>>280808598
I actually do. Sadly modern anime sucks and even visual novels managed to get infected so im left with nothing other than old shit

>>280808489
Or you could just spend $30+ on whatever vhs' your local video store had at the time.

>>280808638
I am well-familiar with the Plaza accords and their consequences, anon. They caused a lot of issues down the line for both the US and Japan and they are part of the reason why we are in the economic situation of today.

>>280805536 (OP)
Fly to Japan and watch it, you're not poor are you?

>>280805536 (OP)
It's gonna be released in Polish theaters this year. They probably figured that Muricans can't read subs fast enough, so they won't watch it anyway. No point giving it to them.

>>280805589
Stop watching anime then, YWNBJ.

>>280808489
>To get into anime you had to understand their culture and respect it

I don't think this was true even when I was getting into anime over 20 years ago.

>>280808638
Funny thing is, I haven't heard of any Jap that talked about Plaza Accords. They still blame their corporations for the lost decades.
