LMAO. Your dumbass is over here bragging about TV ratings like it's 2006. Reminder: TV viewership =/= box office sales. Fuji TV reruns pulling decent ratings means jackshit when Aniplex has to shove 2.5-hour bloated arcs into cinemas to squeeze revenue out of a dead manga.
Also, thanks for confirming that Aniplex is milking y'all like cows at a dairy farm. That's not success, that's exploitation. And judging by how Swordsmith Village flopped globally, they're gonna need all the help they can get, lmao.
>m-most watched anime on TV!!
Yeah, because the competition is weak as hell. You're bragging that Demon Slayer is outdrawing Sazae-san reruns and Detective Conan, which literally air during dinner in every Japanese household. Congrats, king of the nursing home time slot, lol. And if Demon Slayer was really the box office god you believe it is, it wouldn't need an entire year of marketing, special screenings, fake finales, recap gimmicks, and a September international rollout to prop up Part 1 of a trilogy. People watched it on TV because it was free. People streamed it because they already have subscriptions. Paying ¥1800+ for a 155-minute mid-arc theatrical episode? That's a harder sell, especially in an economy where the PM says the country's worse off than Greece.
DVR stats don't sell popcorn. And streaming views don't buy IMAX screens. Theaters only care about one thing: asses in seats, showings per day, and per-screen revenue. Infinity Castle has a long runtime, stiff competition, no finale hype, and a tired brand. Cope all you want with your Nielsen spreadsheets, this thing ain’t touching Mugen Train's numbers, and deep down, you know I'm right.
