Bro, actual Japanese fans are sounding the alarms while you're still high off 2020 fumes rofl. You're living in the Mugen Train era like it's still going. Hate to break it to you: the train left the station and you're chasing after it with a Funko Pop in hand lol.
You can keep yelling 'money money money' but you ignored literal quotes from Japanese audiences saying it's played out, stale, oversaturated, and likely to underperform unless it massively overdelivers. Not my words, their words. You can screech 'cope' all you want, but Yahoo JP and Filmarks already passed judgment.
>"I like Demon Slayer but not how it’s being marketed. The bubble from last time (2020) won’t happen again. The kids who were obsessed then have grown up and moved on, and now there's way more entertainment options. Last time there were no choices, just Demon Slayer. Now there’s plenty. I expect it’ll definitely clear 10 billion yen ($62M) early on because of hype, but anything beyond that is up in the air. Personally, I’ll just wait 2-3 years and watch it for free on TV."
>Translation: "Yeah it'll make money, but don’t expect Mugen Train 2.0."
Another Jap also said:
>"If the first 4 days are 5 billion yen + IMAX/4DX bump + Dolby boost, maybe 17 billion. If the quality is high and the story is solid, maybe 20 billion. If it somehow has 3D too (it won't), maybe 30 billion. But if pirated again like before? It'll fall way short of 20 billion."
>Translation: "17-20 billion yen = about $110M-130M (highball). Possibly less if piracy or competition hits (there will be competition)."
Lastly before I head off, you say MHA is flopping, yet it's STILL the one getting picked up by Legendary, with a global distribution plan and NOT Demon Slayer (kek). Demon Slayer's out here getting leapfrogged in domestic hype rankings by fucking Superman and Fantastic Four.
