I watched it yesterday. It was a masterpiece, my 3 normie friends didn't care for it.

>>282226352
fr, boring frierenslop wishes it could be this good

>>282226339
I don't know where you're getting your opinions from but I thought it was phenomenal. Also thanks for all the KnY threads :D

>>282226363
It's really fucking good. I was hooked from the beginning, the audio-visual experience, seeing it on the big screen alone is worth the price of the ticket.
But then the climax of the movie kicks in, and I was just shook.

very organic thread

I was really really sleepy cause this movie started at 10:30 PM. I made it like 20 minutes into the movie and then was out cold for a good 45 mins. For what I was awake for, there was way too many flashbacks and dialogues and not enough fighting. So much unrealistic plot points and stupid shit going on. I’m sure you get more out of this after watching the show but to the average viewer, it's mid.

Save your time on something else unless you're a diehard demon slayer fan

>>282226339
the average iq is 100

>>282226339
animation wise and visually it was impressive, soundtrack was very good as well, lots of cool moments.
I don't know if it's a problem of mine but after a certain amount of stimuli I cannot enjoy media as fully anymore, so the best part felt like first half. Backstory wasn't bad, a bit cheap on some aspects but overall ok.
What I didn't like was how their joint effort couldn't kill him and he suddenly remembered his past and acknowledged Tanjirou as le goodest person. Still don't understand why he considered himself beat. Also Tanjirou powerup was retarded but it's shounen, didn't expect much kek.
Quite pleasant experience and technically amazing, I can see why some people praise it that much but it's far from being the best, due to the limitations of its source material.
Better than any shounen movies I've seen probably, but compared to other anime movies it's not the best, for example I saw recently UmaMusume Shin Jidai no Tobira and it mogs it

>>282226339
It's because these greedy counts should have realized this movie gimmick to get maximum revenue wouldn't last long, the manage wasn't written to be consumed in movie format especially not an arc like this one.

Me but Instead I watched Revue Starlight the movie, literally anime of the decade, the night before I watched Infinity Castle.

KNY sucks

>>282227168
Can I watch it without prior knowledge or do I need regular seasons?

through kimetsu I learned that no amount of budget can save shonenshit writing

>>282226906
>>282227031
word
I don't give a fuck about this guy, his flashback does nothing to expand the world lore or move the plot forward. He's fucking dead, put that shit in a databook or its own OVA.

>>282227200
it's not really casual friendly unless you haven't caught up with the previous season since the movie is under the assumption that you watched the show
i just watched it because my friends lured me into it

that part was peak kino

The one good thing kimetsu had was better pacing than most shonen slop. They jump the shark for the final arc and the anime made it even worse

>>282227218
I know you are a shonentard, but there's this thing called THEMES.

>>282227207
Thanks for summing up my thoughts about this show

What is with people's fear of going to a movie alone? Why drag someone who won't share the same interest in it as you and make it awkward?

>>282227264
My sister dragged me, I don’t like Kimetsu but it’s not like I had anything better to do

>>282227274
is your sister hot ? is she single ?

>>282227264
I'm scared of people I don't know thinking I'm a friendless loser

>>282227250
I know you're a faggot, but there's this thing called PACING

>>282227286
>complain it doesn't move forward plot or lore
>it's about pacing now

>>282227308
Yes. It was an interruption in the action (effecting the PACING). An interruption in the action that didn't even have the decency to be relevant (by moving the plot/lore forward). It still would have been bad if it DID move the plot/lore forward, it was flat out abysmal for not doing those things.

>>282227281
I can’t call someone who looks like me hot

>>282227330
Again, it moved the THEMES forward, retard

>>282227361
Muh themes mean jackshit if the pacing is garbage

>>282227231
I cannot guarantee I can get through the seasons but I'll give it a shot. The Movie I talked about doesn't require any previous knowledge, and that makes it a perfect introduction to the franchise. I cannot say if watching the seasons improves the experience, but playing the game a bit most certainly does. Not required still

>>282227361
Priority is being put on the wrong thing here. The flashbacks were poorly placed, simple as.

>>282227281
90% of ugly women can be fixer uppers with time and patience

hi im new in 4chan

People are blowing the pacing shit out of proportion, they just needed a slightly better artistic transition to akazas flashback and to cut a few minutes of fat out of it (mostly by not putting in the aniori shit). It's like a .3 point deduction, but one piece twitter trannies walking out of the theater with tears in their eyes have to save face somehow

genuinely one of the worst movies seen of the year. god awful pacing with the over 100 fl(ass)hbacks.

It's insane how KNY, which isn't even liked on this board, is being heavily promoted here. I can understand MHA because it's kind of relevant to zoomers or something. But KNY? By far the least popular COVID era shonen.

Yeah, it's slop. It looks nice, though. I've probably long since grown out of shonen shit, but I'll gladly support anime theatrical releases for the betterment of anime in the west at large. Fuck Crunchyroll

>>282229754
dunno about the manga when it was released, but now the manga is over and there's no torrent so there's nothing to discuss about. and as you've said, most /a/nons aren't watching it in cinema so things are quiet for now

>>282229673
What you’ve been saying makes no sense.
The fact that it’s pulling high scores across every rating site up to this point already disproves your claim that the “general opinion is mid".
What exactly do you mean by “general opinion”?
Normalfags’ opinions?
Even at my workplace, I saw some coworkers talking about making plans to go see the KnY movie over the weekend.

>>282229760
I'm not going to watch garbage just to support anime. The last anime movie I watched was How Do You Live, which was kind of mediocre. But it's much better than whatever KNY is.

>>282229777
High scores are meaningless. It's not a victory for anime by any measurable metric. In fact, Ghibli winning was kind of a victory in making Millennials and Gen X more accepting of anime.

By that logic, Dragon Ball, Evangelion, Spirited Away, and Attack on Titan—all of which once became social phenomena in Japan—are all “mid” too, right?

>>282226339

>>282229926

uhm yes? they are mid even on mal

actual peak anime are gintama, ashita no joe, logh, revue starlight, monogatari, fruits basket, etc... and they aren't popular in the west because they arent mid

Is puzzling to me how such inoffensive show as Demon Slayer can cause such a hateboner. I can only think it's terminally online people who overuse social media and get bombarded by people liking it so they get autistically angry about it.

>>282229674
I was here for the manga threads since chapter 1 and they were peak.

>>282229990
it's not really kny's fault, it's just the scapegoat for autists who are mad that midshit gets popular while their obscure niche kino is ignored by everyone

>>282229926
>Dragon Ball, Evangelion, Spirited Away, and Attack on Titan

Evangelion and Shingeki no Kyojin are mid.
Rest are not.

>>282229674
MHA is most definitely not relevant with zoomers

>>282230014
This it's the type of people that stop liking stuff if it becomes "too popular"
>"I stop reading it because of the fans"

I think my main issues with the movie is that it has very little to work with cause of the manga. Flashbacks that take like 2 pages worth is being stretched to 15 minutes of screen time which is shit. My friend yesterday who’s a huge demon slayer fan said it was bad because of how long each flashback was. Comparing the adaptation with the heavens feel movies, you can tell there was too much content to work with (visual novel duh) so they had to cut so much out which made it shit. if the Issue with fate is too much content to work with, then the issue with the demon slayer movies will be that there’s too little content to work with so they will stretch out everything. So get ready for the same format for the next two movies which will just be ass

>>282230045
the nuance is a little bit different. autist don't like it a priori because it is objectively mid, but at the same time it also gets popular and everybody likes it, so their indifference becomes hate

>>282229674
KnY is now the number one IP among zoomers.
Maybe One Piece is higher, but even then, it’s still number two.

>>282230088
Jujutsu Kaisen is still bigger in the West, sorry

>>282230028
>>282229984
So you're just being autistic about people liking different things than you? The general opinion is just your opinion.

>>282230148
Under what metric?

>>282230196
>The general opinion is just your opinion.
no, the opinion of everyone is that it's mid. the problem is that normies unironically like mid sloppa while "we" shit on it

>>282226788
>Still don't understand why he considered himself beat.
Because they literally cut off his head and he remembered his whole drive (getting stronger) was from when he was human and had something to protect.

>>282230310
no, most of everyone don't use 4chan

>>282230148
KnY’s volume sales overseas alone are 56 million.
Meanwhile, Jujutsu Kaisen’s total worldwide volume sales(including Japan) are 100 million, but its overseas-only sales haven’t been disclosed.
However, it’s hard to imagine that the overseas ratio is more than half.
Even for Naruto and MHA, the overseas ratio is less than half; for KnY it’s one quarter, and for One Piece one fifth.
So even if JJK had the same overseas ratio as Naruto, with half its sales overseas, that would only be 50 million, still less than KnY.
And since JJK is much bigger in Japan, it’s more reasonable to assume that the actual sales ratio is heavily weighted toward Japan.

>>282230324
So everyone is you?

Was Zenitsu's brother ever referenced in the anime before? I watched it all when it was released so its been awhile but I was pretty confused because I didn't even remember a reference to him before.

>>282230340
no, i'm shitting on kny as you can see

>>282230296
Also most popular shit tends to be mid.. which is why it's popular in the first place. There's also personal taste which may change as you understand things and grow. I used to think steins:gate was amazing but when I look at now I can only think "god I was so young, blind and naive to believe this".

>>282230330
Manga sales are irrelevant anime is the cusp of popularity and JJK is more popular in the West than KNY

>>282230382
no it's not

>>282230332
Hunter x Hunter is honestly overrated.
The first half of the Yorkshin arc was good, but everything else is mid or worse. (Netero vs. Meruem ended up being nothing more than a full of narration slop, probably because it was during that awkward period when Togashi was half-influenced by Baki.)
This slop basically just sets strong characters against each other, hypes it up with “Now an incredible battle is about to begin!”and then finds some excuse so that nothing actually happens.
In other words, there are a lot of moments where it feels like Togashi is either too tired to draw the fights, or not confident enough to depict them properly, so he just avoids it.
At least KnY and JJK actually went all the way and depicted battles against strong enemies, which makes them still better by comparison.

>>282230495
>At least KnY and JJK actually went all the way and depicted battles against strong enemies
demon Slayer battles is just one guy getting his shit kicked in but still getting up rinse and repeat then spamming their super moves until one of them dies. shit is just saint seiya but prettier
jjk wants to be hxh so bad by making the characters fight in maths but since the writer is a hack he can't write hxh style fights

>>282230417
>Manga sales are irrelevant

One Piece: 100 million
Naruto: 100 million
KnY: 50 million
Berserk: 50 million
MHA: 40 million

All IPs that are popular overseas also have high overseas volume sales.
This makes it a valid indicator.
And since KnY and JJK have a similar number of volumes, they’re easy to compare.

>>282230544
Not really, fights in Kimetsu usually involved trying to get what the Demon Blood Arts actually does. "This one didn't die because you need to cut both of their heads at the same time. This one actually hides his true body. Akaza can feel intent." etc. Saying it's just spamming attacks is disingenuous.

>>282230584
Manga sales don't matter because manga don't sell like they used to and anime is more popular globally speaking

JJK is more popular in the West

>>282230407
He's completely right about Steins;Gate being mid though, these aren't opinions that need to be "overcome". He didn't come to that conclusion because he was trying too hard.

>>282230544
>demon Slayer battles is just one guy getting his shit kicked in but still getting up rinse and repeat then spamming their super moves until one of them dies
Honestly, most battles in HxH are the same way.
If anything, KnY is better at showing battles with real tension, where the MCs analyze the demons’ abilities and risk death if they take even a single hit.

>jjk wants to be hxh so bad by making the characters fight in maths but since the writer is a hack he can't write hxh style fights
JJK also has a more well-thought-out superpower system than HxH, and it actually reflects that in the fights. Sometimes contradictions do arise from it, but Gege manages to patch them up with notes between chapters in the volumes. At the very least, that’s far better than Togashi, who just ignores contradictions altogether.

>>282230661
>that's also saint seiya also does
Yes, it's good. Anyway let's have an actual discussion instead of just shitpost, let's use the movie since it's the topic of the thread:
Tanjiro can only have time to get what Akaza demon art actually does after taking time and seeing Tomioka fighting at full power. Then he needs to develop an strategy to actually fight him. Most fights in Demon Slayer aren't won alone, which is an important part of the appeal.

>>282230544
>shit is just saint seiya but prettier
And the problem?

>>282226339
uhh... because it is?

>>282230637
What are you talking about? Manga is getting more attention in the West now than ever before.
These days, American comics have been driven out of Western bookstores, replaced by shelves full of manga.

>>282230700
>KnY is better at showing battles with real tension, where the MCs analyze the demons’ abilities
kny fights are literally just
>he's too fast, if i don't dodge he'll blow up my brains and if he blows up my brains, i'll be dead! his stance isn’t right, if i move my left ass cheek i might just have a shot on chopping his head
>the way he uses the breath of cum, fifth form semen overload it's like an art forn... if i'm not too careful he'd spray his juices all over me...
>JJK also has a more well-thought-out superpower system than HxH, and it actually reflects that in the fights.
not really. every fight just won by either the stronger guy overpowering the weaker guy or the weaker guys jumping the stronger guy. jjk are no different from dbz at least hxh fights is more than just one guy punching harder

>>282230689
That's just using data of online demand for a single year (2024 to 2025).

kny fights are so fucking trash, the animation is forced, the audio effects are garbage. i don't know how anyone cold enjoy this more than hxh or opm fights

>>282230148

>>282230872
>he's too fast, if i don't dodge he'll blow up my brains and if he blows up my brains, i'll be dead!
Problem?
KnY properly depicts the devastating consequences when a human takes a clean hit from a demon’s attack. In most shōnen manga, they just wince in pain and that’s it.


>jjk are no different from dbz at least hxh fights is more than just one guy punching harder
In fact, JJK succeeds more than HxH at portraying tactical battles. In HxH, unless you’re someone like Morel, most fights are basically just Dragon Ball in a different form.

Not all of my acquaintances, but more than half of them are watching KnY.
In quite a few cases, they’re even watching it together with their kids.
I really feel this series has gone mainstream over the past few years.
Even back when I was obsessed with Naruto in my youth, an anime title had never felt this close and relevant within my personal relationships.

Jeremy, just for you, regarding Spain.
Your prediction
>500k (full run)
The reality
>1.43 million on friday

>>282230915
Because most of the fights in HxH are dogshit.
The only good one was Chrollo vs. Zeno & Silva.
And even that got canceled by Illumi, so in the end nothing actually happened.
If it had been KnY, at least one of the three would have died in that fight.

>>282226339
KnY is the most generic shounenshit of all time. Completely soulless.

I guess the zoomer retards who liked it have actually watched some more anime by now and are disenchanted.

>>282231333
>and are disenchanted.
So disenchanted it's performing even better than mugen train ww.

>>282231333
KNY is the least talked about of the popular series. Even Kaiju 8 anime is better known.

>>282231349
>mugen train

I haven't the faintest clue what that is.

>>282231401
Then you can obviously explain why it's about to become the best performing anime movie overseas, ever.

>>282231444
People are watching it because they have fond memories of it during coof not because it's good.

>>282231477
>it's not popular
>it's not talked about
>it's simply breaking box office records because its huge legion of fans

I haven't watched KnY yet. Never got around to it when it aired. Doesn't feel like it's "bigger" than Death Note, Naruto or AoT. I can't into shounen these days so am I missing something essential here? Do you watch it for the grill?

>>282231319
I don't care about the outcome, I'm talking about the execution. Pick any fight in KnY and it's the most bland lackluster sequence with garbage audio effects that is trying too hard to be cool. Compare that to Genos vs Saitama and the difference is night and day

Is he considerable an alpha male, if he also fucks Madaos?

Just watched it. The movie and series as a whole is hard carried by Ufotable and the soundtrack. If you treat it for what it is, you'll have a blast with it. Otherwise, it's painfully mediocre, insults your intelligence like the average shonenshit would and is soft as fuck because it was written by a woman.

Akaza, Shinobu, Douma and Giyu were K I N O.

>>282231408
You being tourist is so obvious
>>282231892
There is no point using it before all 3 are out because "ongoing" anime have different calculation than finished.

Beheading is the loss condition for all demons besides Muzan. The UMs have extra mechanics involved, but these all exist solely to pad out their battles with backstory — when their heads are cut off, they all lose to a different plot device. In Akaza’s case it made him become suicidal. In Douma’s and Gyoko’s cases they just skipped their big character expositions because they were irrelevant, just drop-in opponents for a single fight so their beheading gimmick was just making it hard to do. Koku looses the will to keep living. Only Akaza had any little bit of plot relevance, every other UM had none or almost none. It’s just a very shallow, abbreviated and poorly-written manga. Japanese fans like how advanced the use of language is, but we can’t appreciate even that.

I would really like to have a new official popularity poll for KNY after this movie...

>>282232544
This is the OST?

I mean, I could've figured after those two "theme songs" they released that everything would be this level of shit, but damn...

I wasn't expecting kino symphonic pieces like early DB or Saint Seiya, but to think it all would be commercial Sony branded slop

>>282227250
Those aren't themes, that's just shit directing. Those 30 minute flashbacks has always been KnYs bane. You're into the fight then it completely pulls you out. The demon's pasts can always be summed up in a single sentence or 10 second montage, not some crazy long winded sob story

>>282234817
Akaza wins followed by zenitsu giyu

>>282234116
/a/ likes CSM and they're even tsundere towards JJK but don't care about KNY outside of your little circle, sorry

Absolutely phenomenal fights interrupted by godawful flashbacks and flashbacks inside flashbacks. My god the fucking flashbacks.

/a/ likes the Quintessential Quintuplets. That's enough to know how shit /a/'s taste is

>>282235151
You are just a zoomer who can't stay focused, the only flashback who dragged was tanjiro father. Douma and kaigaku wasn't a sob story. Akaza flashback was good and necessary to see why he fucking decides to die

Kanao's pink highlights...

Akasa's flashback was a good backstory for him but I think people mistake that for it not also hurting the movie as a whole having it jammed in there like that.

>>282235223
This isn't about focus it's jarring and makes for bad storytelling. Even in slower mediums like books, no author will ever throw a unrelated chapter in the middle of an action scene

>>282235881
If people thought that was bad... well they certainly won't like Iguro's weird backstory in the middle of Muzan's fight.

That's the trouble with demon flashbacks that some people have had for ages.

But now they're disintegrating and almost gone forever

I don't think it can be helped.

i know this is bait but i took my daughter to watch this film and i've never seen her so happy

>>282238634
Some people really hate flashbacks, and villains with sad backstories, and it is a long 2 hour and 35 minutes on top of that, the final act being centered around a sad villain backstory would make that kind of people really mad no matter what.

I didn't mind it.

>>282235620
>tanjiro not even the most popular character in his own show

>>282238673
there were a couple women in my theater that had shinobu's haori too

>>282238634
I liked the flashback, but inserting it in the middle of a fight is just idiotic.
It's frustrating, it made me think
>can you just fucking die already?
And again I liked it, it's a good back story, I like the character, but it kills the pacing and doing it that way is just asking to get frustrated viewers.

>>282238634
I would say the length and that's a bit of an anti-climax for the movie.

>>282238673
Shinobu ran the show for a good amount of the runtime until she got rekt and it's easy enough to cosplay. Someone like Akaza and even Inosuke requires to be ripped.

I went to Mugen Train alone because most people were hibernating during COVID. This time I went with a group of my friends and it was no different. Some of them complained about how they’d prefer an anime season over finishing the series with just movies though

I shit on KnY a lot because ultimately it is mediocre shit carried by Ufotable… but that movie was kino. Shinobu vs Douma was excellent but far too short. I wish she could get some hits in but eh she’s not a fighter, her speed is her strength but its just unimpressive against Douma. Akaza was ABSOLUTE GOD TIER and the highlight of the whole movie. Giyuu and Tanjirou’s tag team against him felt appropriate considering their strength levels. Even Zenitsu pulled through and was really cool. It clearly felt cinematic though unlike Mugen Train which had obvious episode cuts, not sure what anons earlier were talking about.

They showed the CSM trailer before airing, that shit will flop.

>>282239031
Forgot to mention the music during Shinobu’s fight and Giyuu slicing up Akaza was great. I dont actually like most of this anime’s soundtrack but some good songs in this film. The Lisa ending song sounded good as well

>>282238928
You'd need to be Rock-sized to cosplay Gyomei.

>>282239090
just be twink gyomei from before ubuyashiki found him

KnY is so masterfully crafted to be a big blockbuster anime. People think that Ufotable can just go unlimited budget works on any shonen and it will become just as massive but it is simply not the case. KnY does literally everything right, despite being utterly forgetable.

I HATE POPULAR THING!!
I AM THE COOLEST MAN ALIVE!

>>282235620
I didn't know that Zenitsu is the most popular character

>>282238757
Well great news, all the other UM’s are either pure evil or neutral at best, so no more sad sack flashbacks about them

Because he realized tanjiro was a better fighter than him, and the only reason tanjiro couldn't beat him was the bullshit demon powers. So he decided to kill himself in the name of fairness.

There's something about Kimetsu Yaiba animation that seems off to me. It's like watching super move animations but with more fps or that under all the fancy effects, the characters are just motion tweening idk.

I’d say it works better in the manga because the backstory is self-contained to 3 chapters. If this was a TV format, it’d also work because you can cram it to one episode.

But this is Sotozaki that we’re talking about. The guy really sucks at pacing kimetsu better

Just saw it the other day. The people that watched it through camrips were robbed.

How come "popular = le bad" is still a thing here? Most of you people are 30~40yo neckbeards, don't you think it is already past the time to grow up mentally too?

unreal

This movie is so ass and it came with all my problems with the trashy manga. Stretching out scenes unnecessarily for backstories, uninteresting monologues galore, dictating EVERY SINGLE ACTION that happens on screen with voice over. The problem with this shit is that it's not even a movie, but the first 6ish episodes of a show pasted together, commercial breaks and cut to credits included. Absolutely lazy way of releasing this crap. I'm someone who believes you need to cut from the source material (comics and books) for an adaptation to a movie because it needs a beginning and end, a self-contained arc, and a propelling purpose that isn’t just setting up what's next. EVEN AS A TRILOGY. Every Lord of the Rings movie had that structure and each were standalone with a payoff. This movie doesn't care about that or resorts the movie format.

These things are different mediums and narrative arcs unfold completely different from each other. This movie has no sense of pace, no rising action, constant pauses to get flashbacks to a character that has been killed. Maybe if the movie had been structured in a way we get the generic sad backstory before a fight the emotional investment would be greater, but instead, the author adds it when the villain is about to die so it doesn't even matter.

Apart from the structure, the 3 main stories here are the generic sad shonen backstory for the protagonist and antagonist of each fight. This time around I would say the actual fights pale in comparison to what has come before, namely Tengen's fight. Some truly uninspired direction here and multiple times, in the climactic fight, there was actual still frames and in one of the two instances had very mediocre art. Just made a mediocre experience that much worse.

I watched it today.
It was great, but it just felt like a very long anime episode. Maybe it says more about the quality of Kimetsu's anime. The only scene that really surpassed anime's quality was when Giyu awakened his mark.
Akaza's flashback really dragged on. I was sitting in that shitty cinema chair for 2.5 hours already (30 minutes of commercials at the start) and could only think about getting out of there.

This show will go down in history as the biggest attempts at mass gaslighting amongst anime fans, ever in history. So many influencers, so many fans, so many people tried claiming that this show was a masterpiece and people fucking believed them. All because of the animation from episode 19 going viral.

Behind all of that, is genuinely one of the worst written manga/anime in history.
