The capeshit killer is arriving in one month

capehaters really are just a bunch of delusional tranime pillowfuckers LMAO

>capeshit is finished for the 470th time
ok

>>213434596 (OP)
Someone enlighten me: Why do Jap movies and shows have such weird titles?

>>213434596 (OP)
>1 billion yens are only 7 million dollars
wew

>>213434832
They slay demons and they are in an Infinite castle, what's weird about that?

>>213434832
What is weird about the name?

>>213434596 (OP)
I've already seen it and it's the best action movie of the year. I was watching it and thinking in Superman, Fantastic Four and the other MCU bombs. You watch this movie and see the creativity of the script and fantastic action scenes. The villains have their arcs and origins. Absolute cinema

>>213434596 (OP)
Battle shounen is just chink capeshit

>>213435065
stfu retarded weeb

Unironically the best shonen ever
Why read/watch hundreds of episodes of naruto/one piece when demon slayer has actual plot progression and is 200 chapters long

>>213434596 (OP)
>capeshit killer
Animes already killed /co/marvel/DC long ago.
check the sales numbers of manga VS USA comics.

Mugen Train made less money in it’s entire North American run than Sponge Out of Water… in it’s opening weekend.

>when demon slayer has actual plot progression and is 200 chapters long
Slime Tensei WN/manga has that too. but the anime is taking forever and based on the expanded LN plot.

>>213434832
Blame the english publisher the actual title is meant to be something like sword of oni destruction, although you could say that's weird too.

>>213434897
>>213434985
Just doesn't sound very good. It's like calling Titanic "Big Boat: Iceberg Collision"

>>213435131
whats even more wild is that its made by a woman

>>213434596 (OP)
capeshit will die when America gets nuked (i.e. soon)

>>213434596 (OP)
>not even the most relevant demon killing film this year
kek, whatever weeb

>>213434832
What do you mean? That's a perfectly normal title.

>>213435206
How is different from western titles like "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning"?
It is a sequel and that is the name of the arc

>>213435206
"Demon Slayer" is a shitty name because they have to localize about 50 Japanese comic book titles for every one that is a hit, so it's probably just one white guy at a desk that has to pick something over and over.

>>213435206
Demon Slayer in Japanese is actually "Demon Extermination Sword", a reference to the protagonist having the kanji for extermination engraved in his katana

>>213434832
its cause japs are socially rather primitive and havent really developed the concept of succinct allusions to thematic elements.

>>213434596 (OP)
Is this like attack on titan where he's actually a demon and the guys fighting demons are the real bad guys

The facial expressions are drawn very strangely in these movies, why?

even chainsaw man would do better in the west

>>213434832
what? the original title is in Japanese and feels completely different
literal translation doesn't really work between English and Japanese so it's up to localizers

>>213435837
the heroes try hard so they sweat and have their eyes wide open instead of doing cool guys don't look at explosions stuff

>>213435131
It's generic.

>>213434832
they like really verbose and literal naming conventions.

>>213435837
maybe different culture?
people were saying exactly the same thing to ghibli until early 00s

>>213436109
that's just a trend for light novels

>>213436038
They conflate "show emotion" with "show over the top emotion": There is no subtlety. Maybe because anime is basically for teens.

japan is making what amerimutts and gooks will rip off in 2030s. have some respect.

>>213435131
Nothing will come close to the butthurt/glazing one piece will generate once it fucks up/sticks the landing

>>213434596 (OP)
Ive seen a few gkids showings in theaters the past year and they always show this trailer. Its so long and annoying I hate this show because of it.

>>213436109
the stuff with those titles is adapted from stuff kids write on a literal fanfiction posting website called Narou that's basically the same thing as wattpad or fanfiction.net. The titles are long because they have to catch the attention of people that are scrolling through thousands of titles

this movie is from a normal commercial comic book

>>213436109
Ok, so what does Naruto mean then? Or Monster? Or Berserk? Odd Taxi? Frieren?

>>213434832
Does 'Sorrowful Sugar Rain Falls On the Eternal Damnation of Windbreak: The Mushi-mushi Saga' sound weird to you?

>younger audience prefers works with traditional values like friendship and family instead of wokeness and girlbossing

Wow so shocking

i like kimetsu no yaiba

>>213437196
Noooo, don't use Japanese words that is too confusing aaaarrrggggggghhhh!!!!

>>213435204
Kimetsu no Yaiba
Oni Slaying Blade is how I would translate it. 滅びる, horobiru, does mean "to destroy" and is the same kanii as "metsu," but the character itself isn't limited to that meaning and can also mean extinction, annihilation, perish, etc. It's the same kanji they use in Fairy Tail for dragon slayer, which is written in furigana to let you know it should be read as "dragon slayer" in Japanese, but as a kanji compound it's "dragon slaying (metsu) mage."

Oni is kind of a strange word because it can both refer to a specific monster (red or blue skin, horns, iron club, tiger skin loincloth) but is also used as a generic word for monsters in the same way we might say ghoul or goblin. In fact, goblin is also often written with furigana with the kanji for it being "small oni."

>>213437310
Oni is used for monsters instead of youkai?

>>213436963
That show has nothing but girlbosses and extremely feminine "men".

>>213434596 (OP)
Why do people like this show? it fucking sucks and the art style makes me want to puke.
but i guess its better than capeshit

>>213437472
Good animation, that's all

I just want to see Michael Jackson struck down and killed.

>>213435237
Wani is as much as a woman as the Wachowski sisters

>>213437344
There are many different words for monsters in Japanese, youkai, oni, mamono, kaibutsu, and so forth. In the case for oni, it comes from the same Chinese character that's the generic word for ghost. The kanji that's read on its own is pronounced oni, but is read as "ki" in compounds (hence kimetsu).

So you have a word like vampire in Japanese, which is 吸血鬼, kyuuketsuki, sucking blood oni (or ghost, or monster), but Japanese people don't mentally break down their compounds into individual parts anymore than you would if you heard doghouse, so it's just the word for vampire. Likewise in games like tag the one who's it is the "oni." So it's not accurate to say it's the word for monster, but rather can be a word for monster. That's why the "oni" in Demon Slayer are so different from the archetypical ones you'd find in the story of Momotaro and the like.

>>213435104
Yes

Which is why it's so interesting to see how they are replacing capeshit for the younger generations. They are doing capeshit better than the country that invented it

>>213435131
>Why read/watch hundreds of episodes of naruto/one piece when demon slayer has actual plot progression and is 200 chapters long

I nearly threw up when I saw how many chapters and episodes One Piece has, it's a good thing that the art style is repulsive to me, because I hear the story is good but I don't think I could deal with reading or watching it for such a long amount of time without getting annoyed that it's not goign anywhere

I really appreciate when a story actually has a fucking ending these days, instead of just going on forever with what are essentially "canon filler arcs" of shit that is of barely any consequence to the overall story and just serves as a new arc to market

My only exception to this is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, but that's because the parts feel individual enough that they each get their own ending. It's like these are individual stories with a common setting rather than one story that never reaches it's promised conclusion.

>>213435131
The only good thing about this slop anime is the muscle mice. The main character is a bitch and the story sucks. Unless you are an autistic weeb, then you might like this trash anime.

Sad!

>>213434596 (OP)
Is that movie the conclusion of the anime or there would be more episodes/movie

>>213438132
Yeah but capeshit stories in the west aren't being crafted with boys as the primary audience anymore so it's not surprising that battle shounen which is full of psychological trappings that attract young male audience goers(masculine archetypes, male rivalries & friendship, fights with a lot of spectacle, nerdy power system/level, fanservice, etc, etc) is gaining more popularity over it. I mean, the fact that supergirl is the second film coming out of james gun dcu tells you they don't see capeshit as a boys brand and nor are they the target audience.

>>213440358
two more movies

>>213440575
Thanks anon

Sharing my beloved planet with creatures who seriously watch either capeshit or tranime makes me want to pray for WWIII.
