what happened

>over $100M domestic opening weekend

>>282260053 (OP)
>now

>>282260053 (OP)
Pandemic weebs, and there's no cure for that plague

>>282260053 (OP)
Not $100M, $70M. Not too shabby, but frontloaded.
>what happened
Pandemic happened.

>>282260053 (OP)
I don't recall anyone ever commenting on this film to discuss artistic aspects. It's always about box office and sales. Anime is MARVELized now.

>>282260053 (OP)
so this is a movie or something?

>it hit $70 million
holy shit
>>282260344
yes it's the first third of the final arc

>>282260303
>>282260266
kek mind broken now Jeremy you have to resort to this after gloating it wouldn't make this much

>>282260303
Came here to comment this.
Marvel is finally coming to its inglorious end with Doomsday, capeshit is over in the West.
Demon Hunter and My Hero and especially Panty and Stockings are already heavily infected with the western sloprot.
Up until now Japan could keep abreast of it with the high turnover rate of the industry, but I fear that complete and utter enshittification is coming.
Expect complete and total nigger race swap, and goysloppification efforts. Visa and Mastercard are already trying to sabotage purchases they don't like.
And the things they don't like the most is anything not 100% filled with niggers.

>>282260443
Touch grass, virgin.
>>282260476
The latest superhero movie raked in $600M+. Anime isn't doing any damage to Marvel.

>>282260476
You overestimate how much they care about gaijin opinions. Westerners don’t drive manga or blu ray sales. Japanese Otaku got Nakayama fired from Mappa and the whole style changed for the CSM movie despite westerners liking s1.

>>282260541
marvel hasn't had a movie hit $600 million this year retard
and IF is going to beat Superman at the box office

Test

>>282260053 (OP)
You could not pay me enough to sit in a theater to watch this. I will wait.

>>282260660
No, but last year they had a movie hit $1 billion. Where's your anime movie that hit the billions, faggot? Even Nezha could hit $2 billion.
>and IF is going to beat Superman at the box office
Not really. Anime movies are infamously frontloaded. They make all of their money on Opening Weekend then drop off because fans have already seen it. Anime movies don't have staying power in America. It's a well documented pattern. Look at the earnings, it got cut again. Went from $21M to $15M.

What made Superman a powerhouse isn't how much it made on OW, but it's godly legs. That's all that matters for a movie.

I'm still not going to watch this slop

>>282260754
>That's all that matters for a movie.
I'm sure what matters to a movie is profit
>like 100 million tops for superman
>bombed everywhere internationally
oof

>>282260266
>not too shabby
>the retard who said it'd do 40 million and not overtake MT's box office in general
70 million opening, in september, primed to overtake pokemon as the most watched anime movie (imagine beating pokemania at its peak) and to do 100 million in USA alone.
At this rate, it's going to completely outdo MT, despite the yen being shit.

most zoomers love anime

>>282260805
>>bombed everywhere internationally
Except no, it made $261M outside of America. Inside America $353M. There's a reason why Demon Slayer didn't drop at the same time as Superman or Jurassic World, it's strategically cowardly and hates direct competition. That's why they picked the empty month of September, lmfao.

>>282260856
>70 million opening, in september, primed to overtake pokemon as the most watched anime movie (imagine beating pokemania at its peak)
You're fundamentally retarded. It csme put during a dead month with no competition and also It didn't beat Pokemon especially when you adjust for inflation.

>>282260911
>Except no, it made $261M outside of America
As I said, bombed everywhere internationally, that's 100 million LESS than man of still.

>>282260856
I didn't say it'd do $40 million, I repeated what Deadline was saying. Sony gave them a conservative estimate before more data came in. Keep up, retard. And its earnings still got cut again, went down from $21M to $15M. Like I said, frontloaded and makes all of its money from weekend. It's not going to last.

>>282260975
Sundays of every film are always lower

>>282260971
Wrong again, jeet.

>>282260975
>I didn't say it'd do $40 million, I repeated what Deadline was saying
And you STOOD by those numbers, retard. Because you always go for the lowest possible option and get btfo'd.
>It's not going to last.
Enough to do an extra 30 million, however.

And since you are samefagging from different devices.

>>282260963
>It csme put during a dead month with no competition
Muh septemper is a dead month where notghing is successful
Muh conjuring
muh peele
muh NFL

>>282261048
kek yeah that's right he was saying the nfl would hurt it
now he's back tracking

>>282261024
You... didn't prove anything about its overseas performance?
Hell, triple the profits of man of steel is still LESS than this movie's profits (400 million and growing thanks to a non retarded hollywood budget).

>>282261048
>Muh septemper is a dead month
Yes retard September is a dead month
There's a reason why no big movies drop that month, cause it overlaps with football season
Imagine being such a retard that you think anime is more popular than the biggest sporting event
Is like saying anime is more popular than the Champions League or El Clásico

>>282260053 (OP)
KnY is so mid who tf is watching this shit

>>282261143
>here's a reason why no big movies drop that month
And yet, this september has had RECORD showcases with conjuring and infinity castle.
CURIOUS.
It's like you were wrong about box office performance, again.

>>282260654
As much as I appreciate the optimism, this isn't how the business is run.
When Globohomo comes to destroy you, people and money don't matter.
1., You will be forced to accept the offer you are given, otherwise you're getting Shinzo Abe'd.
2., Globohomo prints money via the US Federal Reserve and gives it to its pawns to do anything anywhere. You can't financially starve a serious power move, when the people making it literally inflate the world reserve currency, the USD and by extension directly devaluing whetever FIAT currency you have, in order to give the stolen purchasing power to ANY entity under their control.
That's how Capshit can cost 300mill+ in production and at least as much in marketing,
and be okay with 600 mill or even less in total box office takes. (Which usually results in net losses at least on paper.)

In short, when it comes to IP destruction, political effort can outperform the civilian market at any given moment, since they can literally take your purchasing power directly from any form of currency you hold, and turn it against you.

>>282261189
I'm not that guy you talk to
And you're still a fucking retard who thinks September isn't anything but a dead month
No big Hollywood movie drops their shit on that month, is like the wastebin month
And Mewtwo is still unsurpassed if you adjust inflations
Retard

>>282261048
>Muh conjuring
Made $332M, is just right behind Demon Slayer and about to outpace it. That's what I mean by legs, fag. Lmao.
>muh peele
Dropping next week and his horror movie is football themed in a football season. It's also shorter so it gets more screenings per day.
>muh NFL
Hurt Demon Slayer and cut its earnings by $10M and another $6M. Will continue to hurt it. Today, the Packers, the Cowboys and the Chiefs are playing.

Anime don't have staying power. They make exactly all of their cash on OW.

>>282260053 (OP)
Western media, specially american media became so garbage that the average normalfag had no other option than to start watching the chinese cartoons they made fun of for being weird for decades
TL;DR America happened, as per usual

>>282260053 (OP)
Still nothing but an overrated series carried by the ufotable animation.

>>282261424
still seething jeremy

>>282261306
Might as well say Gone with the Wind is unsurpassed if adjusted for inflation.

>>282261347
>Hurt Demon Slayer and cut its earnings by $10M and another $6M.
The fact you believe this is hilarious.
It made more money on saturday, but you are adamant on adding preview numbers on this just to be right.
And EVERY movie drops on sunday.
Here, your beloved superman
Saturday, July 12 $37,606,538
Sunday, July 13 $31,305,442

>>282260780
Based.

.>>282261306
September is a slower month because everything big would have released a month or three earlier but saying it's the wastebin month is retarded, January is the worst month to release anything in because people are unwilling to splurge after christmas drained their money. A September movie can still find success and it happens every year, a January movie is sent out to die.

>>282261306
That's actually true. It you adjust Mewtwo's earnings to 2025, it would be about $160 or $170 million today. Mewtwo Strikes Back grossed $85M DOM in 1999. Using CPI inflation from 1999 to 2025 lands it close to $170M today. Its $31M OD would also be around $59 or $62 million today.

Even in 2025 dollars, Mewtwo is still the king of anime films in America by a mile.

>>282261347
And yet, jeremy, it made over 70 million this weekend.
And imagine the international numbers considering how hard you understimated every single country on earth (estimates as of yesterday were at 430 million ww).

>>282261503
Nope September is wastebin month cause people are back from vacation and school
They spent all money on summer, so there's lower demand for watching movies
There's a reason no big Hollywood movie drop movies there, they wait for November or December cause holiday and Oscar being round

>>282260053 (OP)

KNY may be mid but it´s still better than most of current western slop.

>>282260053 (OP)
KnY is truly the new anime king

I have never watched Demon Slayer

remember when jeremy said this film would only make $200 million ww?

>>282261579
Beetlejuice 2 made half a billion and it was only last year, cope harder

>>282261638
And that it wouldn't do better than MT in USA, yes.
Despite all proof against it considering every other country on earth.

>>282261645
>exception to the rule
fucking retard
and beetlejuice ran for 2 months
september all the way to the end of november

>>282260266
The movie is almost Avatar-long and part of a series, being frontloaded is unsurprising. Much of the audience decided they'd watch it weeks or months in advance. More than $50 million is still something many movies, including some superhero ones (which DS counts as enough) wish they could get on opening weekend.

>>282260126
fpbp

>>282260443
Who the fuck is Jeremy?
>>282260476
By MARVELized I mean they became empty products/services. Hayao Scorsese was right.

>>282261724
Yeah that's how movies traditionally work, congrats kiddo. Titanic was in theaters for a year.
The year before Beetlejuice 2 a Chinese movie also made half a billion with a September release date

>>282261448
Except, no. Because Superman only had its earnings cut by $6M while Demon Slayer's got cut by $12M. Traders don't care about previews because they count it on Friday-by-Friday gross. Doesn't make sense, but that's standard practice for every movie.
>>282261545
>it made over 70 million this weekend
Because of frontloading, yes. And its earnings STILL got cut. Anime movies don't have staying power in America, that's why for OW they act like it's their final battle. All or nothing.

Damn, you guys have been arguing about this shit all weekend? You seriously have nothing better to do? It's not like any of that money ended up in your pockets.

Anime comes and goes in the west. It had mainstream in the late 90's with the Pokemon movie. Started to lose momentum and disappear after Inuyasha. Went back to being underground with the majority gathering around Naruto Everyone moved on and became parents forgetting about anime. Then the 2020 pandemic happened, everyone rediscovered anime and gathered around Demon Slayer.

>>282261917
you're still a fucking retard, you retard
if movie ran for 2 whole months from september all the way to the end of november it has plenty of time to make more money
is not proof that september isn't a dead month is proof that beetlejuice is an exception to the rule
fucking retard

>>282261995
I hope anime goes back to the underground the way it was just so we can get some actually good anime for once. Pandemic was the single worst thing to happen for anime.

>>282262017
Yeah I guess you're right running for more than one month means a movie bombed and actually the rest of the revenue didn't count.
You have genuine down's syndrome dude

>>282261424
There was hundreds times less crying in this movie than in Mugen Train, or handled better. Get the Oscar ready.

>>282260053 (OP)
The first Pokemon movie made that much nearly 30 years ago

>>282262091
The first pokemon movie made 30 million in its first weekend.
Kimetsu made that on friday.

>>282262074
keep pulling strawman out your ass you aids riddled retard
beetlejuice is exception not rule or proof that september is anything but a dead month
>>282262114
no it didn't retard
did not beat pokemon when you actually adjust for inflation

>>282262163
Keep crying jeremy

>>282262206
cope retard

>>282262163
according to this >>282261525 IF beat it's opening weekend adjusted
whether it beats it's total or not we will have to wait and see
but it probably won't

>>282262114
I assume anon means adjusted for inflation to be generous but it's still a dumb thing to bring up, it was both a different time and Pokemanz is one of the biggest properties from the East whose popularity carried over to the West. Sony and Crunchyroll should be happy about this weekend.

>>282260053 (OP)
>sakuganimation
>tragedy-porn story
>heavy advertising

It's easy to understand the success.

We've been over this. Shounen is mainstream, other forms of anime are far less popular.
If this were Dragon Ball or One Piece, it'd get similiar numbers, but a Dragon Maid movie wouldn't get anywhere near as much in the west

>>282262163
>meh inflation

Yeah, and Gone with the Wind is still the number 1 movie all time

>>282262229
>>heavy advertising
Really, this is bog standard advertising for the amount of success it's seeing.
No anime other than kimetsu or ghibli can afford this shit anyway.

>>282260856
>primed to overtake pokemon as the most watched anime movie (imagine beating pokemania at its peak)
It absolutely did not, it might make more in dollar terms than a 25 year old movie but inflation and hiked tickets prices compared to back then will mean that it won't be anywhere close to Pokémon in admissions

>>282262214
If September is a dead month then a September movie tracking to be in the top 10 after only a few days must be doing phenomenally. Sorry downie

>>282262253
>If this were Dragon Ball or One Piece, it'd get similiar number
Anon... please don't check how much those movies made.

>>282260053 (OP)
Wait, I thought it was $33M?

>>282262229
Akaza lucked into getting a disabled waifu without being a creep and getting into the healthcare industry. Would have gotten a sweet house in the process. He was the luckiest guy in the world until he wasn't.

>>282262416
That was by Friday's number only.

>>282262416
Friday+previews.

>>282262422
If he ever reincarnates, he's becoming a nurse.

>>282262253
>If this were Dragon Ball or One Piece, it'd get similiar numbers
Both barely 10 million opening numbers at their latest ventures in the US. Film RED and Super Hero.

By the way, I found your Twitter. You're from Argentina.

>>282262321
I loved One Piece Red which got me into realizing OP is a waifu factory now, but look at these numbers KnY left in te dust days/weeks ago. And this is 3 years ago, no inflation shit.

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt16183464/

I just saw it in england it was fucking awesome but people stood up and applauded at the end like that american meme

I also found OP's Tumblr, by the way.

>>282260053 (OP)
Demon Slayer is mainstream. Not even another shonen battle manga is going to touch this level for the foreseeable future, much less CGDCT or Naroushit.

>>282262659
Only the male at my left clapped before the end, female at my right loved the big fight was decided by love. Good watch.

>>282260053 (OP)
Holy crap, Ufotable will buy Kimetsu no Yaiba. Like even when they're through adapting the full manga, they'll beg Koyoharu to own it

>>282263012
It's not like wani makes much from the movie.
The merch moves, however, that's a different story.

>>282260303
Because the people who watch majority anime as their entertainment are legitimately ill and can't discuss things like an intelligent adult.

>>282263012
I mean, they own like 10% of it through the committee. How are you going to buy out 90% with 10%?

>>282260053 (OP)
Anime can be popular if it has an accessible story and doesn't include pervy weeb shit. If a different author wrote this story, Tanjiro would have a harem, there would be incest vibes between him and Nezuko and it wouldn't be anywhere as popular as it is today. If a mangaka wants this level of success, they need to follow Wani's lead.

>>282260303
Akaza was designed for this fight and his backstory from panel 1 of his first appearance. The entire "mentor sacrifices himself to save his student" hero's journey plot point in Mugen Train, where the strong sacrificed himself to protect the weak, was built around Akaza's plot in this. Demon Slayer makes a lot of hard disciplined mythic writing look easy.

>>282263212
Also even his clothing is mean precisely for the fights he gets
>rengoku's family cloth
>tanjiro's haori made by his mom
>gayuu's haori with part of sabito's in it
>akaza's outfit has the symbol of snow in it
Wani lays it pretty well.

>>282263195
I thought it was curious Nezuko is one of the most recognizable characters in this series but she's barely in this movie despite Muzan's endgame being her. Cue monstrous box office. Inosuke, who is also very recognizable, appeared more.

>>282263402
Next movie is gonna be hard, kokukino and all but it's basically the b tier
>tokito
>inosuke
>sanemi

>>282260654
Anon, manga sell millions in the west. Also, the style of the Chainsawman movie is a compromisse between the season 1 of the anime and the manga, because Mappa can't ignore the huge western audience.

>>282263402
Basically all the pillars + tamayo got promoted to main characters over the course of the infinite fortress + final battle so if you're actually reading it during serialization it's easy to see there was just no place you could have fit any Nezuko stuff and still keep the battles as amazingly coherent as they were. But with two year gaps for people to find things to yap about it's going to be noticed.

>>282260053 (OP)
The funny thing is that the numbers are going to stay high because the movie is rewatchable as fuck
I am watching again next week

went to see it in imax today, good experience.

>>282263433
It's also going to be Kanao and Inosuke vs Douma.

>>282263402
She is basically shelved until the big finale. I don't think it's really a problem. Rengoku still has enormous popularity based on one movie that came out 5 years ago now. He still gets as much fan art as the other characters. Kimetsu has reached that level of iconography where the popularity is self-sustaining.

>>282260303
Everyone it's praising the animation.

>>282263600
How much noise did the audience make?

Just came back from the movie in Finland. It was an alright movie but the theatre experience is amazing thanks to all the sound effects and music clearly being made with a theatrical release in mind.

I'm mostly amazed people would go to see a movie that demands watching 4 anime seasons to understand.

>>282263507
Most western "weebs" are just anime onlies and the manga readers mainly pirate it. Again, after japs it’s other Asians that make up most of worldwide sales. Kingdom and Conan have zero presence in the west and both sold over 100M

>>282263784
theaters are always too fucking loud. I don't need my teeth rattling out of my jaw and my organs liquefying

>>282264002
It was just the right amount of too loud

>>282263433
>>sanemi

Motherfucker, he has the saddest fucking arc in the entire manga Kokushibo fight going to be epic and sad

>>282263195
>If a different author wrote this story, Tanjiro
Tanjiro wouldn't even be the lead, he's not pathetic/jaded enough to self insert as.
It'd probably be Zenitsu as the lead, really.

No, Sanemi a shit

>>282263784
europeans watch anime too?

>>282264185
OP is just wrong or false flagging, it's not in yet

>>282264095
Ironically, Gotouge didn't plan to make Tanjirou the MC, he was a side character, the male editor, when he heard of Tanjiro's backstory, he told Gotouge he was MC material.

>>282264258
Even more so than Americans. France, Spain and Italy being the biggest weebs.

>>282264271
Giyuu sounds like MC material too.

>>282264269
It's an educated guess even thenumbers is using right now. It'll settle at around 70 million considering it's at 55 million from saturday alone.

>is not even out in France till next week
>the biggest weeb country besides japan

>>282264302
Too op initially to be the MC.
Like, he may be a depressing trainwreck, but he's still stupidly strong and developed a technique that could almost tank akaza's ultimate one.

There was a girl sobbing next to me when Akaza died

>>282264334
Why did it get it later than most of europe?

>>282264367
There was a woman in her 20s with her 50 year old anime only mother besides me, poor woman when shinobu died, she felt super bad.

>>282260303
That's just what this worthless shithole site has become. Has nothing to do with the movie.

You're two threads late

>>282260126
Northamericans don't understand the concept of other countries existing.

Can the final movie make over 800M?

>>282264674
Unless they get china, no.
If it gets china they can push this shit to a billion because it's retardedly big there.

Toei must be seething, no dragon ball movie made this much despite it being the biggest anime/manga culturally in the west.

>>282260303
>>282264548
This. We literally had the exact thread you're saying you never see (because you're a tourist).
Hell, the art and animation have consistently been some of the main threads for Kimetsu no Yaiba, during its peak episodes and even when the anime was announced.

>>282263212
>>282263264
You bar is too low, holy shit.

Are they making a tv version of this too?

>>282264757
Probably.

>>282264468
France is the BIGGEST market for manga in the west. The growth the US has been experiencing doesn't even come close still to what France has built.

They are masters at maximizing profit.

You just know it’s bleach and CSM fans seething over KnY success. Bleach fans because now, when people think of the biggest battle shonen, KnY has kicked it out of the discussion with DB, OP, and Naruto. CSM fags because they thought their series would be the next big thing but s1 and part 2 have been disasters. UFOtable helped raise the series to new heights, mappa didn’t do the same for CSM

>>282260053 (OP)
>"Please like me, I had a tragic past" - The Anime
Cheap writing sells, who would have thought.

>>282265054
Next movie is THE tragic flashback and you are left with
>what a FUCKING RETARD YOU FULLY DESERVED YOUR FATE
after you witness it.

>>282264899
I don't think it's bleachtards. I think it's MHAcucks who presumed their manga was the next in line for the battle shounen throne after Naruto ended.

>>282260053 (OP)
I haven't watched this anime. Can I just jump into this movie and understand it?

>>282265206
Nope, this is the first part of the final arc of the series, so you need to watch the first season, the movie, and the following three seasons.

>>282264899
It was crazy seeing people hype up the csm anime as if it could ever be as popular, just because it would look pretty.
No amount of advertising, animation, or music will change the fact that Kimetsu no Yaiba simply has more cross demographic appeal than Chainsaw Man
Going on a quest to save your family member is more acceptable to the gen pop than wanting to touch boobs. This should not be a shocking revelation.

>>282265236
Damn... Guess I'll just watch some clips for the sakuga and call it a day.

>>282265098
No one thinks Kokushibo's backstory is tragic.

>>282264899
Well, I've never read CSM and I don't like Bleach, but when people think of the biggest battle shonens, they'll still remember Bleach more than KnY, because like it or not, Bleach is big and influenced many works, including KnY, which in turn is mostly remembered for its commercial success. The same happened with Your Name (which I'm sure you only remembered now because I said so).

>>282265274
Koku's backstory IS a tragedy.

>>282265206
You will not understand a damn thing, you bloody retard.

>>282265250
Nah I still think CSM could have done well, mostly if the adaptation had just been funny. And if Fujimoto just hadn't done part 2 and had moved on to something else it would have a good shot at still having a real fan base.

>>282265302
People harp on this too much. I've read reviews from people that knew nothing about DS and they enjoyed it fine and it probably drives them to go and watch the whole series.

>>282265302
Calm down lil bro. A lot of movies like this are made to still be watchable standalone so I thought I might as well ask.

You'll understand the movie just fine not watching the series. Just know this is a trilogy of movies.

>>282265204
Nah, CSMfags fits better. MHA is a 100 million-selling manga.

>>282265250
People thought CSM would be the next big thing the way SnK was but even then Eren’s goals have more appeal than Denji’s

>>282265287

Tragedies are not exclusively about events outside one's control, they can be self-inflicted and Kokushibo's is very much that.

>>282265274
Macbeth is a murderer

You know it’s pretty impressive how for such a big series there were no serious meltdowns. Meanwhile SnK, MHA, Naruto, and Bleach all caused fits.

>>282264899
Back to your old tricks I see.

>>282265054
Kimetsu is so dependent on sad flashbacks that when during that awful last arc Muzan was being called one of the worst villains ever, the fans said "calm down, let's wait for his flashback" kek

>>282261995
>Then the 2020 pandemic happened, everyone rediscovered anime
It's before that, 2018-2019. My cousin who is a normalfag talked to me about Demon Slayer at that time.

>>282264899
It's actually the series you like, false flagger
(which is One Piece)

>>282265444
Oh it caused meltdowns alright, just not amongst the fans.

>>282265444
I've seen anons complaining about the ending but I don't get it. Especially with the expanded epilogue, KnY has a good ending. There are no loose ends, the characters get an emotional sendoff and flashforward with the grandkids is heartwarming.
It helps that there are no ship wars in this series.

>>282265444
There were no weird pairings or anything to upset shippers, either.
Everything pretty much went as expected.

>>282265527
definitely 2019, class 1 normalfags don't read manga and definitely don't read pre-anime manga

>>282265444
It's been said many times before, but KnY avoids falling into NUMEROUS pitfalls that other shounen manga tend to fall into. which is something common with shounen manga written by women.

Get a fucking life, jeremy

>>282264367
Akaza died, theaters lived.

>>282265444
Naruto shouldn't have caused ship wars but NaruSaku's are retards.
It's Bleach that's the real outlier. The problem with MHA was that it was sloppy. SnK made Genocide of either side as the only practical solution.

>>282264468
Actually, frenchies hate everything that is french unless it's popular outside of the country.

The number of 10/10 votes is surprising considering all those filler flashbacks. I don't care that it's a faithful adaption, it's just lazy to not adapt the adaption to fit as an action movie.

Or maybe I'm just too dead inside or too old to react emotionally to them.

>>282265313
>mostly if the adaptation had just been funny
Nah. Shit like Demon Slayer sells because it invests in two things that normies love: cuteness and suffering. There's suffering in CSM, but no cuteness. Denji is grotesque, Power is grotesque, Makima is grotesquely hot etc etc.

>>282265407
No one will care about Demon Slayer once the anime ends.

>>282265582
Yeah... I find myself praising Kimetsu for the things it doesn't do just as much (if not more) as I praise it for the things it does do.
That's not a compliment I've ever even considered giving to other shounen I've read.

>>282263072
Browsing /a/ makes me believe this as well

>>282264899
>You just know it’s bleach and CSM fans seething over KnY success.
Why would they care? OPfags on the other hand......

>>282265791
I thought it was a full action movie from beginning to end. Some caracters felt more filler than others but that's it.

>>282265791
Not what that word means, cocksucking retard. You can fuck off now

>>282265444
Trannies and chinks have been crying about demon slayer, it's just no one cared

>>282263751
none, it was at midday so there was all of 10 people in there max. I could hear people talking about how much they liked it on the way out but there was no clapping i'm afraid

>>282265444
-There was no shipping drama so that cuts out a lot of cancer
-It wasn't really as long as the other popular shonen
-While the anime is probably the current biggest thing in Japan, internationally it's fan base is not as big. Or at least it wasn't when the manga ended

>>282262253
I've thought of shounenshit as fairly mainstream in the US since it started hitting the react channels on youtube. Back half of the 10's.
Before that Miyazakishit was the only thing I'd describe as fairly mainstream.

>>282260053 (OP)
Gotouge will never make another manga. Not because she's rich now, but because she knows that as a manga artist she's mediocre and without sakuga, flashy colors and violins that would be obvious to everyone, including herself.

>>282265817
Akaza earned redemption because he appeared non-threatening to the girl he was caring for. He only appeared monstrous after fighting demon hunters for centuries.

>>282265856
By the time it's all said and done, Kimetsu will be look back on as a classic of the genre, at least in Japan. The fact that it's so short and the story is so mythical makes it much easier to be appreciated by later generations than something like Bleach. No one in their right mind wants to rewatch or reread all of Bleach due to excessive bloating and filler (both manga and anime). But they will want to marathon Kimetsu.

>>282264899
You know, I feel like mappa was going the wrong way with adapting csm, instead of trying to be tarantino it should have been more visceral and bloody with a hint of cheesiness, something that felt like it was directed by the guy that did from dusk til dawn.

>>282266169
Yeah, I see myself coming back to it every few years like I do with YYH or FMA

>>282260053 (OP)
The Star Wars of anime. And we know what happened to Hollywood after Star Wars, right? Dark times are coming. Solo Leveling was the first side effect.

I watched the Chainsaw Man trailer before Demon Slayer, is there anything weird I have to watch out for? I watched the last 2 Terrifier movies in theaters.

>>282260705
Sucks to be you then.

>>282266395
Heaven's Gate did more damage to Hollywood than Star Wars did and it's not even close.

>I don't recall anyone ever commenting on this film to discuss artistic aspects. It's always about box office and sales. Anime is MARVELized now.
Mate, you're a tranime fan. None of you vermin have the mental capacity, knowledge or vocabulary required to meaningfully comment on the artistic aspects of animated film. You drop single words like "weight" and consider yourself hot shit for it.

>>282266517
Heaven's Gate only failed because Star Wars succeeded. After Luke's adventures, being flashy and breaking records became more important than being immersive and creative.

>>282265791
As soon as I heard some social media trannies say that the flashbacks were video that had already appeared in Demon Slayer like they're Naruto filler flashbacks (they aren't) I knew that accusation was going to start showing up in KnY threads.

>>282260053 (OP)
I don't have a problem with flashbacks but the way this movie (and title) uses them is ridiculous.

>>282267126
Imagine attracting an audience like this and mouthbreathers still try to tell you that shonen is the apex of media

>>282266526
It did, actually. The Conjuring is catching up to it as we speak. It's sitting at $332M right now. Demon Slayer is $386M. The difference is that Conjuring actually has proven to have legs beyond OD. Demon Slayer hasn't proven it and going by history, it won't. Anime movies don't have staying power. They make all of their money on Opening Day.

>>282268641

>>282268245
It doesn't matter, Jeremy.

Demon Slayer had a budget of around 15-25 million, judging by Mugen Train's 15m budget. That's less than half of the Conjuring's projected budget of $55 million. It already annihilated the conjuring in profits.

Demon Slayer won, you lost.

Is this one any good? Infinity Train was really really good but Road To Hashira Training was literally the second worst movie I've seen in my life.

>>282269555
illusion castle arc is the only arc in demon slayer. no idea how anyone could think that infinity train was good so your mileage may vary
in terms of actual production, pacing and flashbacks worked much better in manga format compared to this movie. its still a decent watch but sucks compared to the manga because they drag out too much shit

>>282270535
To be clear, I liked Mugen Train because it was pretty, had a tense scenario, had great action and SFX, and the obligatory drama wasn't too embarrassing. I'm not expecting Shakespeare from a shonen movie.
RtHT sucked ass because they burnt all the sakuga budget in the opening fight (which was 40% internal monologues and flashbacks), then the rest of the movie was exposition and chibi slapstick shonen comedy.
Where does this one fall?

>>282260053 (OP)
You forgot "in Japan"

>>282269555
it's infinity train with better animation

Imagine being a titty monster bimbo and living for this long when others around her die dramatic deaths. Is the deity of Fortune living in her bosom, maybe split within Inosuke's mask?

of course we know europe exists, retard.

>>282263212
Wow, did you get a lot of Boss Baby vibes from it?

>>282270606
you didn't watch it

I was going to watch it in sub, ordered a ticket without realizing it was ticket for the dubbed version and was let down in the matter of minutes when Gyomei speak. I still had fun, but the highlight was this little kid dressed up in a Tanjiro outfit, it was really cute. Entire theater was packed, when I ordered my ticker the was like a total of 4 seats left which is the most filled up theater I’ve seen ever. I think it was a good movie, but it was MASSIVELY padded out. I enjoyed most of the dubbed performances, but I still wish I could have sawn it in sub. The couple sitting next to me was trashing the ending and writing which I found pretty funny. Next time I’ll see it in sub or I’ll just wait till it releases on digital. 7/10

>>282268799
By far the worst villain of new gen.

>Demon Slayer box office: $352 million
>Conjuring 4: $332 million

Busting demons make studios feel good right now.

>>282270919
What? That's literally what it is.
3 fights with backstory flashbacks. Should have been episodes. Even had the bullshit flashback counter like she pulled in s1 and s2

>>282269555
If you like train you'll like this one. I think they should have made akaza's flashback shorter but that's about it

>>282268761
>muh budget
Irrelevant cope when it's just $30M short. The Conjuring still made a larger return. And it has legs, so it will outsell Demon Slayer too. Anime movies don't last long beyond Opening Weekend.

>>282264899
CSMfags are fully aware that KnY film was going to perform far better than CSM film is going to do at the box office.

>>282263507
They already ignored them with simply changing the direction and vision for the movie.

>>282270748
Mugen train was better. None of the fights used the infinity castle , it was just for cgi panning shots.

At least train used the train

Why cannot solo leveling and KDH record this spite dominating Japanese anime market according to MAL, crunchyroll and netflix?

>>282271315
>muh legs

>>282271315
Comparing budgets here seems dumb. Japan somehow manages to make an Oscar-winning Godzilla movie with a Blumhouse budget. The last Conjuring movie seems to have cost more than the average horror movie but they still made more than $2 billion bucks in theaters with the entire franchise so who cares.

More importantly, that movie is almost 10 movies in within a franchise and sold as a series finale that will probably be rebooted just with no confirmation so far, Demon Slayer is growing an audience with the expectation of 2 more movies.

>>282271445
Correct, autist. Legs are more important than OW because it shows a movie has staying power. The Conjuring proved it has, and that movie sucked ass, but it still has legs. Anime generally don't have staying power beyond OW.

>>282271354
They need to get gud better.

>>282271336
Mugen train was rubbish. Way too silly and took too long to get interesting. The only thing it can wield over this movie is that it had Nezuko.

I enjoyed the film. My problem is dropping flashbacks in the middle of the fights for both the heroes and the villains. I'd rather you show, don't tell, their tragedies. I could see people around me getting bored of the forced flashbacks.

I hated those mopey parts, and the backstories were kinda cheesy sad stories that were predictable lol, like ofc his that happened or whatever big sad, but they are least help give the characters something so they won't be empty shells. Overall, I was just there for the fun. I want to believe that the homie Akaza went to heaven/was redeemed, but they show him surrounded by fire after he hugs his fiance ghost. He could have redeemed himself by helping to fight Muzan too, but maybe that wouldn't work out, as he has his blood in him, he can't betray him. In a way, he is possessed.

>what happened

Comics went woke. They started inserting woke shit in every major comic. They also said they didn't need the old fans. They wanted to cater to their new magical "Modern audience". Thus they pushed out all the old comic fans.

With nowhere to go... all the old comic fans started reading manga. That shit wasn't woke. And thus.... Manga overtook comics. Demon Slayer led the charge and became the most popular graphic novel at the time in the west.

Even if you only look at North America, anime becoming mainstream happened 20 years ago at the absolute latest.
The term "Big Three" literally existed as a term Japanese producers used to describe the, at the time, novel simultaneous international (predominately American) success of the Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece manga and anime in the mid-late 2000s.
At the same time, the following shows were all ubiquitous and incredibly popular among western audiences:
>Gurren Lagann
>Code Geass
>Death Note
>Dragon Ball (which had really aired from 1998-2005~ in America)
>Soul Eater
>Fullmetal Alchemist (which had aired in 2004 and was remarkably beloved)
Among many others, and if you REALLY REALLY want to stretch things, in 2013 SAO and Attack on Titan release and were the next big successful anime that, again, became dominant in the mainstream. I remember threads identical to these ones about how SAO was the "next Naruto" in regards to how many normalfags it attracted. That was about 50% of the shit it would get in threads, that it was another Naruto.

Broly was made canon, something that many DBfags were wishing for since they were babies, and the movie has some good animation far beyond Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F, when it is not using CGi of course.

It became the highest grossing DB movie to date, but still can't touch KnY records with Mugen Train and now Infnity Castle.

Is not mainstream until another anime movie surpasses KnY

>>282281318
Anime is bigger than ever and DBZ is still one of the most watched anime worldwide second only to Naruto. If DBZ made a trilogy of every saga (Saiyan up to Buu not the optional pedo prequel) with no censorship and more advanced they would break records, no problem

God once they graduate from shonen they're going to come over to all the other genres.

Nothing has changed.
A couple shounenshit and the occaisional Frieren get popular with normalfags and the rest are invisible to them.

did the sword color ever come up besides that one episode tanjiro got a black one?

>>282260053 (OP)
I wonder how much Croc makes from this. Was she able to negotiate a new contract after the success of the first movie?

>>282282125
unironically movies are more available than anime series to the average mouthbreather thinking torrents = bad even if its still published by crunchy roll. if crunchyroll werent so fucking retarded with their region locking and publishing, people would pay for tv series too.

When Inosuke gets two new swords after the Natagumo Mountain arc. The color effect comes up again.

Yeah, that does ring a bell, but was it ever useful besides fluff? They point out that black wielders die quickly as a superstision

>>282285685
The superstition is a direct result of Sun Breathing completely dying out, to the point the Corps thought Black Blades meant the slayer was not compatible with any type of Breathing they knew of.

Also it is not fluff, you see Giyu's blade was broken in this movie, yet he doesn't replace it any other blade laying around till the very until he finds a dead Slayer with the same Water Breathing affinity as him, it is hard confirmation a Slayer cannot fight with their fullest potential with Nichirin Blades other than their elemental affinity.

Wani doesn’t make much from the movies right? I heard she made shit amount of money with mugen train

>>282260053 (OP)
In 6 months no one else will be talking about this shit anymore. Demon Slayer needs to be airing to "exist".

>>282287035
That's retarded. Then if pink woman's or that snake dude's weapon would break they would be dead in the water because there don't seem to be any other love and snake breathing users respectively.

>Well I say that but now I remember the last fight sucked ass
The godlike fight?

>>282287355
correct, is great

>>282287355
Their parent Breathing are Flame and Water respectively, I would assume they wouldn't be completely helpless, they learned the basics of those before creating their spin-offs.

Actually 2 weeks then it will totally be forgotten
