Wasn't MHA supposed to be the biggest animanga in the west in the late 2010s during the height of capeshit popularity? Why does the latest Kimetsu movie gross more in the US in its opening weekend than all MHA movies COMBINED?
>>
>latest movie made even less than the first movie which was previously the lowest grossing one
What buried the hype?
>>
>>282226103
MHA is hilariously carried by American twitter fujos versus KnY that is a national treasure in Japan and adored by the rest of the world. Next time, don't make your protagonist a battered wife for his bully hori
>>
>>282226103
Look at the latest capeslop movies' box office and ask yourself that
>>
>>282226103
There are significantly more western anime fans now than there was in the late 2010s. 6 or 7 years ago, anime movies were only shown in the west in select theaters at limited times.
>>
>>282226243
>twitter fujos
MHA fujos will never be like the fujos from Naruto, Black Butler, Hetalia or any other series from 15+ years ago. They're normalfags that moralize their media consumption.
>>
>>282226103
That fucking moron that kept saying it would top out at 220 million worldwide is in for one of the biggest BTFOs of his life
>>
>>282226103
Kimetsu's popularity is just a different beast.
>>
>>282226377
I'm pretty sure that is Jeremy. He's been slandering CHADmetsu with Dragon Ball of all things. Man won't let Toriyama rest in peace
>>282226350
LMAO MHA fujos make Naruto fujos look tame. There's never been any incident of NaruSasu being problematic whereas BakuDeku fans always harass anyone who doesn't agree with their fantasies
>>
>>282226103
>>282226382
I wonder which side of the spectrum will the chenso movie end up on in the US
>>
>>282226377
>70% of total gross coming from Japan and holiday boosts
Next.

By the way, today's Saturday which means College NFL. I wonder how many viewers it'll bring in since most of Demon Slayer's money comes from OW in America.
>>282226449
>CHADmetsu
>Has to drop their movie on a dead month of September and relies entirely on anime to keep it alive
Dragon Ball is the real Chad here, it doesn't an anime and it hasn't for years, lol.
>>
MHA served to prove that just cause something gets paraded around doesn't mean the watchers care about it past the surface level. The same can apply to Frieren: put it in cinemas and no one will go watch it
TLDR: MHA and Frieren are overhyped garbage
>>282226516
Thanks for the WINetsu threads, Jeremiah. I'd say "See you at the cinemas" but you're unemployed
>>
>>282226103
What the fuck do people see in Demon Slayer to make this popular
>>
>>282226305
>look at the latest capeslop movies' box office
>Superman
$614M. $353M from America and $261M from elsewhere. Got Americans interested in Superman again which makes thirdies seethe.
>Fantastic Four
$515M. $271M from America and $244M from elsewhere. It was shit but made more than what your average anime movie makes.
>>282226551
I make more money on average than your third world ass, lmao. I have the time to go to a Ed Sheeran concert, bowl, get drunk and I still might have time to watch this movie. I'm still not going to watch it because I never watch a single bad movie unlike easily exploitable, autistic weebs and retarded Japanese. I'd rather watch Ozu movies.

Just watch as they'll drop this movie for TV a month later. Anyway, Dragon Ball is the real winner. It doesn't need an anime and it didn't need it for years. Naruto is also a winner, it's the most watched anime on Netflix and it ended 10 years ago. By the way, you watching College NFL today?
>>282226582
Good animation in fight scenes and it benefitted from people being locked up at home for a whole year that they got traumatized. Demon Slayer is like a comfort anime for normalfags.

bcuck, blacked clover was axed ages ago. You gotta let it go.

you're poor and black and stupid
you don't even know how to do basic math or read basic table

>>282226637
You're poor, brown and stupid who don't live or set foot in America to know why Hollywood is scared shirtless of the NFL.
>>
>>282226621
>Good animation
It's just a bunch of fancy special effects masking mediocre choreography.
>>
>>282226660
Chadmetsu doesn't care about the NFL, that's why its making 60M OW and 100M+ final kek
>>
>>282226718
>Chadmetsu doesn't care about the NFL
Might work in Nipland, but we're not in Nipland now. We're in CHADmerica, and in CHADmerica, football aka the CHAD Games will ALWAYS come first before Japanese movie with a Japanese rat crying screaming and crying for his worthless bugmen friends. Chad and Stacy will never pick anime before the Eagles. Only nerds do. That's why every Hollywood blockbuster avoids September. Weebs really thought they'd come clean in that month, lmao.

Going to watch the new kny movie with friends tonight
My only exposure to the series so far is being scammed into watching an episode recap at the theater with them a few years ago, I have no idea who anyone is or what's going on, all I remember is a bunch of fucking subhumans in the theater laughing like madmen whenever someone says "oniichan" regardless of context
My head is going to hurt

>"Chad"
>has to dodge CHADperman and GODrassic World's summer release because they'll MOG Chinkmetsu
>has to dodge November and December because Chinkmetsu will get MOGGED by furries (Zootopia) and ayy lmaos (Avatar)
Lol Dragon Ball is the real Chad, it went up against Spider-Verse and SMASHED. JJK is gay but it went up against Batman and SMASHED. BNHA is shit but it went up against Deadpool and SMASHED. One Piece? Sunk cost but Film Red went up against Minions and SMASHED. Chinkmetsu is like that lightweight amateur boxer who steps into the ring after Muhammad Ali leaves but before Mike Tyson enters.

Btw, try killing deez nutz first.

>>282226621
>It was shit but made more than what your average anime movie makes
I doubt it turned out a profit, much less the 300 million in profit kimetsu has, same with superman. A higher box office doesn't mean more success.
>>
normalfags were just obsessed with capeshit at the time. mha wasn't ever very good, just from the start your protagonist is an obnoxious gay crybaby who wanted to be a hero for fame & praise. he never showed in any interest in doing anything else besides being the guy on the tv everyone applauds. the second strike was being set entirely in japanese highschool; not even the X-Men shackle themselves to the Xavier Institute, for good reason, the reason being who the fuck wants to see that? I want to see the X-Men fighting supervillains not attending algebra and going through teenage angst! and the final blow was O MY 8 QUIRKS

>>282227695
>>282227711
LMFAO Toriyama has unashamed gay sex in hell with Miura while you defend his failed copy of Wukong. Once again, GODmetsu mind broke you
>>
>>282226103
None of the kids at my work care about MHA, Demon Slayer seems to have a bit of popularity. That kpop demon hunter thing is probably the most popular atm but for actual manga its mainly old stuff
>>
>>282227822
Doesn't matter, what matters is that CHADgon CHADall went head on against Spider-Verse and still SMASHED. JJK went up against Batman and it SMASHED. One Piece went up against Minions and Sonic but still SMASHED. And even that piece of shit BNHA went up against Deadpool 3 and Inside Out 2 and SMASHED.

Real Chads don't dodge competition. Demon Slayer is strategically avoiding fights it knows it can't win. It's not Ali, it's not Tyson and not even Mayweather, it's a filler act between real fights lol.
>>
>>282227869
>One Piece went up against Minions and Sonic
HILARIOUS
>>
Anime movies hardly ever break huge box offices, much less anime-only stories that weren't featured in original manga/novels. Double so if they had TV adaptation, since people who watch it on TV and people who going to theaters don't really cross that much.
tl;dr KnY is an exception, not a rule.
>>
>>282226103
Every 30-year-old parent grew up with anime. Early millennials and even late millennials are still more socially conservative than Gen Z. Yes, the data showing that Gen Z is more conservative is full of bullshit. That's why anime had such a big jump during COVID times.

The US moviegoers simply don't care about non canon anime movies. But desu I don't think even a canon Wan Piss movie adapting the final war would even do JJK 0 numbers in the US.
Also hilarious how frontloaded this was, I wonder if KnY will suffer the same fate.

>>282228129
>Red
Wasn't that the Ado shill movie? Fucking hate when they make a movie just to shill a singer. SAO had a movie like that too lmao
>>
>>282226103
MHA is for actual capeshitters that like it begrudgingly to attract the attention of capeshitter makers to up their game so they can return to capeshit. Rest of shonen is enjoyed by the rest if the world that just likes action.
>>
>>282228602
Yeah it's extremely popular among kids in japan
>>
Nobody cares
