Why is it popular?

>>149344259 (OP)
Idk, little girls like kpop i guess?

kpop isn’t a genre of music. it’s a cultural tumor.

Women. The only person I know irl who watches this is a fat autistic woman pushing 30

>>149344259 (OP)
cute freckles!

theyre doing bean mouth

>>149344259 (OP)
>lusting after men
wouldn't that get her cancelled in Korea? Or is it only Japan that does that?

>>149344259 (OP)
Looks like shit
Who cares

>>149344423
Popular shit

>>149344259 (OP)
Korea's cool

>>149344259 (OP)
It's K-Pop and, therefore, automatically popular.

>>149344830
North too?

>kpop is popular
>good animation
>great songs
>cute girls
>hot boys
no gays
It has a lot of things going for it and earned it’s top spot on Netflix.

>>149346236
>no gays
But has so much gay fan art?

>>149346292
Not relevant

>>149344259 (OP)
Fucking femcel

>>149346236
>good animation
More like grubhub animation

>>149346362
But enough about Pixar.

>Why is it popular?
Is it? I haven't seen a single person talk about it outside of this place.
Then again, I don't hang out with children IRL.

>>149345690
Even more since it's closer to the arctic.

>>149346942
Go to twitter, tik tok and tumblr

>>149347075
Why would I do that? I'm not a kid.

>>149347075
and youtube and instagram
>>149347079
ok gramps

Animation obsessed weirdoes are hungry for expressive animation (especially expressive animation of women)

The guys are so incredibly hot

>>149347692

Ne zha 2 > kpop

Where the fuck is my sequel announcement? I need it. Give it to me.

>>149344259 (OP)
Why were those three so thirsty
Do you think that no man tried to seduce them?

>>149344259 (OP)
>didn't make the girls and boys ugly or use some quirky artstyle
>made the villains hot guys
>used a court romance plotline that Asians love
>good animation and voice acting
>songs written by composers in the actual Kpop industry
>powerhouses in the concept art world like Scott Watanabe and Ami Thompson on the visdev team
>the more trendy/unique style of animation that's positively compared to The Last Wish and Spiderverse
>straightforward plot that's not too convoluted or over ambitious

The straight romance and inclusion of hot guys were the big ones that made a difference. There's something for everyone to enjoy with both the girls and boys being designed to be as attractive as possible.

>>149344259 (OP)
Yellow Fever

>>149344414
Idols dating isn't allowed, so yeah she'd be in deep shit. That whole "we totally ship you together and want to support you in it" wouldn't happen.

The creators really opened Pandora's Box with this movie.

>>149348599
Most of this is gay shit I'm guessing

>>149348885
Surprisingly no.

>>149348885
About half of it is Rumi/Jinu, rest is polytrix and gay shit.

>>149348929
>>149348932
Huh. Surprising. Guess plenty of chicks are selfinserting as Rumi then, imagining they'd fuck Jinu.

>>149348929
>design hot guy
>make him a demon
>give him a devious "bad boy" personality for half the movie
>canonically make him lose control of his human form when highly emotional
>pair him up with a girl who is half demon
Literally a recipe for smut.

>>149348981
I love how it shows people still love a good traditional romance story which many animated movies don’t do anymore.

>>149349122
It's honestly a breath of fresh air to not see one of the following
>nerdy socially retarded boy x popular girl
>quirky obnoxious girl x anything
>ugly or average boy x beautiful girl
for once in an animated movie. Both characters are good looking, both are strong, and they have good chemistry.

>>149348427
Watch k dramas then

>>149349122
Elemental was a romance

i need to know how shoji kawamori feels about koreans ripping off his life's work

What would a sequel even be about?

>>149350404
> koreans ripping off
Americans

>>149350459
A different Kpop demon group

>>149347079
Joking aside this is a film that's clearly aimed at a younger audience so it's not a surprise older people (myself included) wouldn't really notice much of the attention it might be getting.

>>149350459
What came to mind is a competition to determine which group should be in charge of maintaining the barrier, basically a succession battle. That would be an easy way to introduce rival groups and work with the music rankings shown in the movie.

>>149350459
They face the entity from the Smile movies.

>>149344259 (OP)
I don't think it is, they just paid for a lot of media coverage for a month or two following it's release. Once their P.R. contracts are up no one will ever talk about it again.

>>149350459
>Rumi's parents and how they died
>Figuring out how to potentially revive Jinu (I am theorizing he will be revived as a neutral spirit like Derpy, bound to Rumi's sword, instead of a demon under the control of Gwi-Ma)
>Celine taking an antagonistic role because she doesn't want Rumi to end up like her mother did
>Aquarium date scene that was pitched for the first movie
>Sealing Gwi-Ma away for good

>>149348949
Going by the pic in >>149348929, 1,854 of the fics are het while 1,496 are yuri. Jinu and Rumi have 1,306, Polytrix has 1,253, Mystery and Zoey have 335, Mira and Zoey have 243, and RoMirAbby has 213 for a breakdown of 39%, 37%, 10%, 7%, and 6% respectively.

>>149347692
including the fat little manager of theirs that every other fujo wants to see on a leash it seems

>>149347729
>Amerifat Zoomers are going to kill both yaoi and yuri with their bullshit

>>149350459
US tour where they have to face off with demons from a variety of cultures led by a classic blues musician crossroads devil. At some point includes a Devil Went Down to Georgia homage done with a haegeum.

>>149349405
Wade was the equivalent of a doughy white guy and Ember a tempermental Asian chick and both are working class. The Kpop Demon Hunter characters are all two hot celebrities. Rumi and Jinu are like the moderm day equivalent of forbidden romance between royalty of different kingdoms, which is why Koreans love the movie.

>>149348929
Hilarious considering that the majority of R34 pics is nothing but the work of fujos.

>>149351605
Wade was voiced by a black dude

>>149351104
> no one will ever talk about it again.
They are still streaming the music

It’s trending! https://youtu.be/Ug_pv5-r1js?feature=shared

Yuri

Korea going crazy for this movie

My little soda pop

>>149352043
That is good cosplay.

>>149351580
This

>>149352043
Duh

>>149352486
I don't know, but he could have sprung for a non mesh hat. I could see "I'm Eggscellent" being on it.

>>149344259 (OP)
i know nothing about kpop, but this show looks like something produced by someone who doesn't either, for someone who doesn't as well.

>>149352967
Heungnips are traditionally a woven mesh hat.

>>149351580
>Devil Went Down to Georgia homage
One of my favorite songs. Name the sequel Kpop Redneck Hunters.

My entire feed is just Kpop demon hunters now
has anyone else noticed the Saja Boys show their demon side during the little interference on the screen when they take over the broadcast?
>So, they come out of nowhere, have a record label which probably NO ONE has heard of before
>take over screens which probably wasn't scheduled
>and nobody thinks that's weird?

>>149353580
There are brief glimpses of their demonic nature throughout the film. And yes, it's a total handwave how the Saja Boys actually became rivals to Huntrix, but given Jinu's backstory you can just assume it has something to do with the Demon King.

>>149344259 (OP)
Kpop stans are cultists who eat up everything

>>149353806
And ship

Yeah.

>>149353217
I stand corrected then, I thought it was supposed to be a Capotain.

>>149357166
Is a Hentai Cliche at this Point.
