He went off pretty easy. Now Muzan only has two protectors left. They say there´s gonna be two more movies. I guess the next is about the two last moons and the last one is against Muzan.
Why would kokushibo spare this bum
>>282295941Yeah it was a retarded move. Lately Muzan team made alotsa retarded moves.
>>282295941Actual slayer wanting to become a demon, they are actually rare. Kokushibo wants company.
Muzan waited for Tanjiro´s father to die before paying Kamado´s family a visit in case Muzan wouldn´t make it alive./spoiler]kek
>>282295941He just wanted to dab on the beloved breath users his brother created. Yes, he's still seething.
>>282296197Kokushibo had no ulterior motives in accepting Kaigaku, the 2nd Fanbook states he genuinely wanted to see slayers willingly become demons to validate his own choice of abandoning humanity.
>>282295882Damn they're milking this entire arc.
>>282296148Muzan had no idea of who the Kamados were, it was an incredible tragic coincidence he killed them, it was all on a whim, you see him make a brief comment on it during Nezuko's short recollection of his invasion when she becomes human again.
>>282296498Well it paid off, the money is just pouring in.
Zenitsu grandpa commited sudoku alone out of shame .He suffered willingly alotsa before passing away.Has alotsa balls more than Kaigaku ever had.
>>282295882Absolutely loved that scene, so good
>>282295882He was a complete loser nobody.It's kinda funny actually.About 1-2 years ago, I dropped the first season around the debut of the hashiras. And this past month, binged everything from there to watch the movie....the day of the movie I was on the cinema totally unable to remember who that retard even was.
>Spoilers about a manga that ended 4 years agoCome on, son
Can someone clarify who was Michikatsu descendant, was it Muis mom or his dad?
Is it true there is an incest ending?
>>282297083It was never specified, the 2nd Fanbook doesn't make a direct line for Muichiro's parents when they are set under Kokushibo, unlike Tanjuro in the Kamado family who has a straight line under Sumiyoshi.
>>282296466"willingly"Dude said either drink the blood or u dead
>>282297194No, Tanjiro hands Nezuko straight into Zenitsu's hands, even advises him on how to properly court her.Although, Tanjiro's great-great grandson is oddly a target of Zenitsu's great granddaughter's affection, but they are so far down the family tree I don't think they are actual cousins at this point.
>>282296611 The frame of him lying lifeless on the spot was so grim, especially when it contrasts with all the lively gag scenes he had after. It really puts into perspective how much it shamed him
>>282297308Based ship I mean the second one.
>>282295882>two protectors leftanon...
Does the movie only makes an 5min introduction of Douma vs Shinobi fight or is there some more to it?
>>282297405The fact she was left alone and expected to fight is so fucking stupid. She is the single most valuable demon Muzan has ever created besides Nezuko. Not one but two irreplaceable abilities that no other demon including Muzan could recreate. She should have been by his side or secluded thousands of miles away in that infinite space. Seriously every single demon Muzan has ever created could have died in the battle, but as long as she survived it wouldn't even matter.
>>282297405Bitch is too busy moving the inifinity castle like lego pieces.
>>282297415Her fight is a little longer than that, and the movie covers her whole fight, as in till she dies.
Why did they remove Senjuros scene? I knew something was missing
>Spoilers for a manga that ended years ago lmaoGive it to me straight, /a/, how bad are the anime original scenes?The ones in the training arc were absolutely bed-shittingly bad.
>>282297467Oh fuck, I thought her fight was up to second part.Man, I don't want to go to the movies nor wait for a digital release REEEEEE
>>282297477Like in the Mugen Train movie they probably wanted to straighten the pacing out, the Infnity Castle is already long as fuck. So just like the TV cut of the Mugen Train movie they will probably add missing pages/scenes into a TV cut of Infnity Castle.
>>282297591The anime ended last year. Final arc is gonna be a 3 movies release exclusive.
>>282297546The original scenes so far are just expanding certain portions of the fights and adding dialogue, nothing that truly sticks out.
Is Jeremy still alive?
>>282297625You are retarded if you think ufo isn't going to cut up and rerelease them for even more money a few years from now.
>>282297638Holy shit thank god. Ufoniggers really need to be constrained by movie pacing to not shit the bed.The end being a movie trilogy was the right choice.
>>282297625You are not in the know of how series has been treated so far by Aniplex and ufotable if you aren't expecting them to make a TV cut of the Infnity Castle movies later on. They have been playing with both theatrical releases and TV serials simultaneously for maximum milking.Movies gets Tv versions, season finales gets glued together for theatrical releases.
>>282297546>how bad are the anime original scenes?>Added more pointless action scenes, like Akaza becoming a demon for the first time and attacking the convoy sent after him>Most emotional panel gets a 1 cent budgetI hate UFO so fucking much.
Went to the cinema to watch this on the big screen. It was good.. very good. But I honestly think It would be better as regular seasonal anime
>>282297687Never mind. I hate these faggots so much.
>>282297546the intro is himejima walking through the graveyard talking about oyakatasama's decision to off himself, the only original scenes I recognized are him and muichiro running around the castle beating demons and getting help from the lower ranks, obito/sanemi/whore also got similar scenes but those barely exceed 1~ minute of screentime
>>282297712Muzan's speech at the end of the movie is also original.
Kaigaku really should've gotten more time. I thought he was a decent villain and he has a sick design.
>>282297704It absolutely would have been better as an anime, but then they wouldn't make as much money, and they wouldn't have a justification to go all out with the animation. I hate movie theaters and refuse to go to them. Too overpriced, too many ads, and I hate having to sit still for an entire movie with no breaks especially for fucking 2 and a half hours. Watching at home is so much more comfortable.
>>282297687>>282297704Anyone else felt there was too much pausing and abuse of certain animation tricks. Also I kinda wish they had just saved the fight for the second moon for the next movie even though that's how it went in the manga.
>>282297735You will get more of him in the video game DLC, CyberConnect 2 expands the dialogue for boss fights.
>>282297745Half of the pauses were unnecessary. Anime and 2d cartoons in general are easier on the eyes.
I forget but can slayers who turn into demons slay other demons with their swords or do they have "demon" swords which aren't considered nichirin blades anymore?
>>282297833I never saw this scenario being officially given an answer anywhere else.
>>282297833They'd just need to cut off the demon's head right?
Kokushibo's fight is the best fight in the series and that will be the next movie.
>>282297917No, simply cutting a demon's head without a nichirin blade will not kill them, that is first demonstrated in the very first fight Tanjiro has, before he even got his own nichirin blade; the demon will live with a severed head and try to attach it back.Demons kill each other by incapacitating and throwing their foe on sunlight.
>>282297949Even better, Rui decapitated himself with his own threads in order to survive and win against Tanjirou
>>282297833they theoretically could with a nichirin sword, but they'd also be under Muzan's control
>>282297687>Most emotional panel gets a 1 cent budgetThey adapted as is, literally, I don't know what you wanted to them to animate for that.
>>282296148What was Tanjuro gonna do against Muzan without a Nichirin blade and the only way to kill him is the sun?
>>282297744I paid the equivalent of 3 dollars, so I'm okay as far as price goes >>282297745The movie does not do a good job of portraying how much time passes during the fight, by the end the only thing I could think was asking myself how the fuck was Kanao still alive
>>282298468>by the end the only thing I could think was asking myself how the fuck was Kanao still aliveReally? Anyone but Douma would be a valid complaint, but with him it is made perfectly clear he is fucking around, Kanao could have been left standing for as long as possible simply because Douma wants to play.
>>282295941He would spare anyone who willingly wanted to become a demonHad kaigaku refused he would've been killed instantly
>Giyu using Form 10 on Akaza while falling down through the castle so he rotates without having to put effort into running forward like Tanjiro did when using it in E19That's it.That's the sort of shit I've been waiting for. The fuckin' Water Pillar, man.The fact that slayers can theoretically use the exact same moveset/breathing style means that we can see the same form being used by a novice (Tanjiro) and then a pro (Giyu).It's incredible, like watching a fighting game character being used by a casual and then an FGC champion.
>>282297833as long as its a nichirin blade than anyone can do it including demons themselves
>>282297712I noticed the intro scene of gyomei walking through the graveyard is a callback/reference to the Mugen Train movie intro
i'll be honest after the whole of the movie being essentially flashbacks the akaza one (of whom the character i am a fan of) really bored me and i was ready to leave. i know it's important but man...whoever said a few threads ago this would be better watched as a weekly show was correct
>>282295882>fully reusing Heaven's Feel trackswhat happened to the budget LMAO
>>282296503It is a coincidence but jot that unlikely. Dude routinely went off on nightly walks with a side of murder spree.
Anime only here. Can any manga reader tell me how important was the hand signal to Kanao was? And does Kanao get a kino fight in the 2nd part? No spoilers please.
>Zenitsu solos a number>crows don't give him a shoutoutFuck crows
>>282299998They do though.
>>282299815I remember seeing To the Swordsmith Village in theaters, and the part when the OP played, with all the Pilllars backs, that was different, I think it didn't include Kanae?Anyway it was changed when the episode actually came out. So I imagine they'll fix this too.
>>282297308Is she as much of a jobber as her ancestor?
>>2822998152 years not enough time, prease understand.
>>282297451She has the terrible curse of “having a power that could easily render the entire plot unbeatable if used cleverly, so the user(s) have to be retarded”, Gremmy had the exact same curse over in Bleach.Seriously with how anal Muzan is about survival why the fuck didn’t he just eat her for the power ages ago? Using the pocket dimension to just slowly, painfully kill slayers through starvation and isolation seems like his style. Hell not even a sun breather can just slash through entire buildings freely. It’s literally unbeatable for the protagonists because this isn’t JJK and they have no ranged attacks of value other than poison via crows, which is in limited supply.She must have given incredible blowjobs.
>>282299956>a lot>KinoNo spoiler for the rest, enjoy your edging until the next years
>>282300086Considering her blood art seems to be linked to her music, that would’ve required muzan to know how to play a biwa and use it during fight or while escaping/fusing one into his body.Taking the Drum demon/ex lower moon 6 as a sort of proto-nakine, their techniques need a proper musical input in order to works , and not just spamming random notes.It si probably the reason why Muzan deemed Nakime more useful as controllable teleporter minion rather than gaining that power by himself.That or muzan simply is not OFA and cannot steal the blood arts of the other demons, but simply fuse their bodies into his and gain nutrients or absorb passive stuff like sun immunity
>>282300170And to add. Considering most of the arc Muzan is incapacitated since he is busy resisting Tamayo’s medicine reverting him into human, he would’ve been screwed since he won’t be able to play any instrument while reduced into a funny meat blob…unironically that would’ve bitten muzan in the ass even harder
>>282300170>that would’ve required muzan to know how to play a biwa and use it during fight or while escaping/fusing one into his body.…Muzan is an immortal with enough time on his hands to LARP as a woman, a shota and a family man, and ever since getting BTFO by sun breathing his #1 priority in life is survival by any means necessary. I really find it hard to believe knowing what we know about his character, he would see taking a couple music lessons as beneath him in exchange for a blood technique that makes him functionally unkillable and truly immortal as long as he’s willing to live as a hikki. Like imagine Muzan just doing karoake while angry confused slayers run around in the real world and the maze wondering where the fuck he is.>or muzan simply is not OfAI mean…his reaction to Nezuko suggests that yes, he is in fact AfO and not the Symbol of Peace otherwise he’d be more “Grr! A rival with shit I can’t have?! Kill her!” than gleeful.>>282300189That is fair for the arc specifically, I am specifically wondering why Muzan didn’t grab that art ages ago. …funny you should bring up AfO, unlike him Muzan doesn’t have the excuse of having excessive pride to prevent him from taking an asset that good early on.
I just can’t stop thinking about how Casshern Sins did the whole “I’m a fighting immortal, but I’m secretly tired of both immortality and fighting” thing better desu.
>>282300220As said, the specific need for that instrument seems like a trade for using it. And it seems like it requires that biwa specifically rather than simply another musical instrument.The thing with Muzan is that he does the bare minimum since he is stuck into his Heian noble mentality .Heck his whole fighting style is not even a proper blood art, but him flexing his giga tier stats and spamming tendrilss, poison and AoE shocks at random until anyone around him is dead…he is basically the guy who only uses the base techniques but min-max them.so the idea of him deeming another demon that he can control and sumon for help anytime while he is busy doing other stuff or incapacitated seemed a good enough trade for him.is not like Nakime was ever going to betray him after all. it literally required something he thought couldn’t even exist, aka a demon that wasn’t made from his cells .Yushiro in fact is not a regular demon and neither he is bound to muzan, while evej Nezuko shared some bound at first. Instead he was new made from tamayo after centuries of experimentation Solo.That guy was such an impossible variable for muzan and he is the sole reason Nakime could’t defend against it due to his invisibility, and the reason he could mind control her. Without him the slayers would be good and deadAbout the absorbing, the specific of Sun immunity is not the result of a blood art tech, but simply a special physionomy inside of Nezuko’s body. Nothing still suggest he can steal the Blood arts for himself, otherwise he would get the burning demon blood instead (that’s nezuko’s blood art, not the sun immunity)
>>282300285What is this to do with any of KnY’s character?>akaza?No, he was never tired to fight or be immortal until the decapitation. The sole reason he died is because that decapitation awakened back his memories and his humanity, so he realized that his whole personality and mantra (kill the weak, be the strongest) was just a warped version of what he used to believe (be strong to protect the weak) and was confronted by it. It was more about him freeing himself from muzan’s leash rather than him being suicidal.>kokushibouThe guy was not into the “ i secretly want to die” neither. He was just butthurt about his brother and never realizing he failed to leave any kind of legacy behind, to the point he lost everything about his past life and only realized it after the beheading (like azaka, it happens because the grasp of muzan’s cells get weaker)>muzanThe dude by the end is literally crying and screaming for not getting killed off. The bastard want to live harder than anyone else
Kimetsu bros...why our fans are like this?
Does anyone have a link to the /a/ translations of the manga please? I don't want to read Viz.
>>282296498SEND IN THE MONEY. It RAINS.
>>282295941Wouldn't you?
>>282300418Both deleted sometime this year, I think...This one had everythinghttps://mega.nz/folder/XpFBwaxC#bPM5HIlCWMO3ePg5gdpPbQThis one had the finale two arcs, colorizedhttps://mega.nz/folder/bx9i0YjC#CIMPKwEDHXsSeZYWhcxJ7A/folder/Tp9xAAYLThis still exists, I started seeding so there's 3 nowhttps://nyaa.si/view/1381875I'm still looking for the Pig Assault subs for S1 and RLD, if anyone has those.
>>282300497Thank you anon, I'll upload them into a MEGA since those two links are dead.
>>282300028tf happened here
I’ve been browsing soundtrack covers on YouTube, but why is it that everyone keeps replaying Zenitsu’s 7th form or the Akaza vs Giyu tracks, while the track from Akaza’s final form and the Transparent World doesn’t get much attention?Zenitsu and Giyu’s theme melodies have been around since Seasons 1, so there’s nothing really new about them anymore. On the other hand, the Akaza final form and Transparent World sequence used completely new phrases, and they’re insanely cool.
>>282295941He wanted to keep slaying that fresh, youthful boipussy. He might have been a demon and a sword autist but he was still a samurai.
To be honest, this scene was better in the manga.In the manga, Akaza’s obnoxiousness came across as oddly comical, which gave this moment a unique kind of charm.That feeling didn’t really come through in the anime.
>>282300560Clout
>>282300560>why is it that everyone keeps replaying Zenitsu’s 7th form or the Akaza vs Giyu tracks, while the track from Akaza’s final form and the Transparent World doesn’t get much attention?Hmm, guilty as charged.I think it's because it's a remix of what I already know?I'll try listen to a Transparent World cover today though
>>282295941Being a shitter UM6 is still better than 99% of demons
>>282300560I'm looking for the choir version of Shinobu's theme when she makes one final attack on Doma.Anyone here has a link to it?
>>282300622It was funny how tanjiro immediately screamed giyu's name right after that
>>282300622The reason this scene comes across as comical is largely due to the focus lines on Akaza’s face in the final panel.This is a technique unique to manga, and it’s difficult to reproduce in anime.
>>282300674The anime has done it before but not in the middle of a serious fight.
>>282300560https://youtu.be/A53XFxlyBDk?si=WT9e8G7eRF1KgntMThis soundtrack cover stands out with exceptional quality.When I first heard it, I even thought it might be the leaked official track.
>>282300560It might be inevitable given Ufotable’s compositional approach of creating soundtracks based on predetermined character motif melodies and adapting them to each scene, but it was a bit disappointing that in this movie’s soundtrack, since all the characters had already appeared in previous seasons, there were so few brand-new theme songs.That said, the Transparent World theme and Kokushibo’s final theme were pure kino.
>>282297546I think godjima and tokitou got a few extra scenes of them dumpstering demons but I cant recall anything else
>>282300170But Muzan-sama's five brains...
>>282297546>muichirou and godjima steamrolling demons>the average slayers taking down a big oni straight from Nioh>genya stuck in Run piece and Salami slashing some weak demon>Mitsuri and Obanai going full SnK , a lot of tits shoots from mitsuri>some scenes with the average red shirts fighting random demons inside the castle, over all making the scoop bigger>some really cool shots of the crows being used as drones by the children while drawing a map of the castle, alongside a lot of visuals of the castle changing shape at Nakime’s whimps>zenitsu kills a random demons inside the in one dash before facing Kaigaku, the battle is a bit longer>shinobu lasts longer with Douma and the Centipede dance looks way cooler than in the mangaOther than that it is pretty faithful to the manga expect for some minor scenes cut and possibly rearranged for the next movie like Senjuro’s
>>282300876His five brains exist only to have perfect control over his body and protect him from getting beheaded.These are more backup units rather than an actual IQ boost
>>282300661best you can find are recreations, you'll have to wait for an actual rip of the moviehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bXI5YMSINI
>>282299815it's a good track
>>282299815Is this song made by Kajiura?I thought it's Shiina's work.
>>282300937I REALLY appreciated how it feels like a full on assault with everyone taking part and the constant crow shots with the mapping.
>>282299815Proof?
>>282300551https://www.tiktok.com/@robojoxs/video/7549464715974544671
>>282301182If you listen closely, you can hear several phrases from the ending song scattered throughout, and the way the track closes is designed to flow naturally into the ending song, so it’s almost certainly Kajiura’s work.
>>282301202Use your fucking ears?
>>282300937>a lot of tits shoots from mitsuriliterally not even a single one.movie was castrated as fuck.
>>282301242Use yours? Yuki Kaijura reuses some beats a lot throughout her music.
>>282297687>Most emotional panel gets a 1 cent budgetThere is a whole ass scene of Akaza sobbing his eyes out.
>>282301278And ishida going all out in it.Best acting in the whole movie.
>>282295941The question that launched some fujo fanart
>>282300591I hope there's some official data about subs vs. dubs, I'm sure the theaters hate showing two versions so I bet neither one is dominant or they'd refuse to do the other one.
>>282300220We not even sure if Muzan could take another demon blood art by consuming them. Like he only theorize that eating Nezuko would give him the ability to resist the sun because he assumed that whatever cause a demon to develop that ability would be transfer to him if he eat them. Demon Blood Art tied heavily to a demon personality and their past, something that Muzan couldn't replicate because he, on a fundamental level, cannot relate to the demons below him.
>>282301224https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSDkuMtsa/> According to him, during this movie’s screening, there were fistfights in three different places in total.> Two of them broke out during Zenitsu’s fight scenes.Kimetsu bros...why are you guys like this?And why is it always during Zenitsu’s fight scenes?
>>282300086But that would require Muzan to work and he doesn'tike that
>>282299815They ran out of money during production, I was baffled at the stills used in the last parts of the Akaza fight. Still a fun movie nonetheless.
>>282297687>>282299815They gave you a nearly 3 hour adaptation and you bitchess still complain? Holy shit you weebs are more emotional than women
>>282301521>, I was baffled at the stills used in the last parts of the Akaza fight.Dude, it was 5 seconds.
>>282297833Demons usually kill other demons by eating them
>>282300285I like Cashern sins but I don't see the parallels at all
>>282300412>ArizonaYou posted the answer yourself
>>282301521Budget has nothing to do with it, it’s simply that Kajiura’s songs almost all end up sounding pretty much the same.
The comedy being little surprised me. Not such much stupid gags and not one that broke a serious moment
>>282301521Is it even possible for them to run out of budget?Ufotable literally has an infinity budget now.
>>282301967Most of the time budget isn't an actual issue, it's deadlines. They were probably in a rush to release it.
The reason CGI is rampant in anime nowadays is due to time rather than budget.
>>282301967I genuinely believe that UFOtable has extraterrestrial animators. They aren't human
>>282301455Zenitsu radiates too much testosterone, it makes men more aggressive and eager to fight.
>>282301455>>282302261Zenitsu is such a Chad. He is what Dequeer should've been
>>282297833Both Kokushibo and Kaigaku's swords are made from their fleash. So nothing happens if they decapitate a demon with it.desu I'm not sure if Kaigaku's is the same, but if Koku's like that then Kaigaku's should be as well
>>282302450Koku's sword is his blood art.Kaigaku is a shitter whose blood art is just effect enhancing.
>we're about to hit $500 million
>>282302782Holy cow. Infinity Castle will beat Mugen Train before October
>>282302782$5 million Monday for the US
>>282302802Also hasn't released in many places in Europe
>>282302802What I love about this is how much of the money is from International releases.
>>282302842it's almost like it's absurdly popular
>>282302860The emotional beats hit incredibly well. Simple things like Akaza's caring for a loved one or willing to do anything for his father.At the same time it has realistic reactions to the world being shitty. Like Akaza just straight up murdering everyone in revenge. 100% understandable
>>282302820And is not released in China
>>282302929I remember being a little "ehhh" about the Akaza backstory during serialization thinking it started a little corny, but Wani brought me back with the part where Hakuji complains about how sick people always apologize. It made me think of my real life experiences of dealing with seriously ill people instead of just illness cliches in stories.Another time Wani knew the right way to get a plot point across was when Yoriichi came upon Uta releasing the tadpoles, just a little artistry made something that could have been very clunky and rote feel very sympathetic.
>>282300497Is Muzan the most unintentionally funny villain? I think only Diavolo can match him.
>>282303268*and how virtuously Hakuji perceived weakness and therefore how much of Akaza's philosophy was just a tortured version of his real one
>>282303268In the Japanese fandom, there is speculation that Gotouge might have originally been a healthcare worker before her manga career.For example, in the scene where Shinobu has her chest slashed open by Douma, the description of blood entering her airway and her breathing turning into a gurgling sound is strikingly realistic, almost as if the author had experience caring for patients suffering from similar symptoms.Beyond that, there are also many references to the structure and mechanisms of the human body.
>>282303313Muzan is basically modern day naraku
>>282297451Let's be honest here, Muzen is not the smartest guy in the room, even with his 4 brains
>>282303807In cowardice yes, and being a betrayer, they are very similar but thankfully Kimetsu didn't run for as long as Inuyasha did in order for Muzan to pull the same tricks this image is poking fun at.
>>282303862Well, technically Muzan did hide for centuries, but the audience never sees that firsthand, and he didn't do it like Naraku did by appearing on and off people's faces.
>>282303807Muzan may look similar to Naraku in terms of visuals, but as a character he’s basically Kars with an added touch of serious comedy.
>>282302929It's a simple but well written story. We need more of these desu.
>>282303934kars wouldn't be such a bitch
>>282303934Ehh, Muzan really isn't that grandiose. He genuinely just wants to get rid of the crawling feeling in his own mind that someday he could die, which is pretty relateable. His morality is pure unempathetic selfishness, which we all have a dose of too, whereas Kars had the '90s eco avenger thing.
>>282303575Doctor Douma is so attentive to his patient's needs, lol.
>>282304009Kars is extreme bitch.
Was it really necessary for Ubuyashiki is blow up his wife and kids? I feel like he could've simply said "Wife, kids, go somewhere else this man and I are going to have a talk." and they could've ran off and Muzan not really giving a shit.
>>282297290Yes, manga fanbooks/databooks/novels are genuinely pretty loose with canon details because they're not written by the authors.
>>282304737The wife and two kids were the ones who refused to leave.
>>282301273>can't use his earsthey copied HF1 intro song
>>282301455Why is the USA so fucking embarrasing now
>>282300937There was literally nothing from Mitsuri
>>282304737The kids are superhumanly mature and poised and they knew it was the first time in a thousand years they had a legit chance to stop a horrible mass murderer.
>>282305300*like I thought that and gramps honor-killing himself was a good reminder to the brutality and anger of the demon slayers despite how nice and collegial it had felt for a while in swordsmith village and pillar training.
>>282303575The manga art is so garbage, ufotable did a great job carrying this mediocre manga
I still have the intro of the movie imprinted in my head. The part with Shinobu falling down the castle in silence and Aimer’s song starts playing, to be specific. Kino.
>>282297009Do you think /a/ even read the manga?
I really want to rewatch it but I have no one to go with...
It opens in France tomorrow, right? Any Frog here going?
>>282305504I loved all the mentions of suicide in this movie>oh yeah my wife hanged herself because she couldn't take our daughter being ill anymore
By the way, oricon confirmed after the weekend the movie has made 68 billion yen, which translates to 468 million USD.I know feel mad for mugen train being stuck with covid.
>>282306374It was literally scanned here, so people who have been around for more than 6 years have read it.
>>282296498I meanit's the last arc and the longest in the entire seriesthey gotta milk it.
>>282307114It's Japan, the act of suicide, especially back then, had a very different connotation in comparison to the western world.Washing away shame or regret was could be made right by taking your own life.
>>282307114ubayashiki, his wife and daughters, gramps, hakuji's dad, keizo's wife, akaza, shinobuSony presents Suicide the Motion Picture
>>282307037Oui nig
>>282307238I watched mugen train in 2020..i didn't know it was making history
>>282307737C'est bien
Looks like it’s getting a china release
>>282308414>chinametsuOh my fucking god.I hope chinks deliver since they love this shit.
>>282308414Never.China ban this kind of gore and right wing series.They banned SnK with same reason.
>>282308524
>>282303575yep, small references like sun bro telling tanjiro's ancestor that it's fine his wife is resting since giving birth is so difficult as well
>>282308524It's getting announced on october 8th, it seems.Sony should have made this deal faster.
>>282308524China heavily censors Kimetsu there, it hasn't been outright banned, but it never got a simultaneous release on TV and Mugen Train didn't have a theatrical release either, it all took time to be edited for their standards.>>282308544Looks like they are eager to accommodate all CCP guidelines quicker this time for a theatrical release.
>>282308624Wild to think that the Chinese think they know the story of Demon Slayer and we know differently
>>282308524>They banned SnK with same reasonSnK got the full ban due its political undertone, violence can always be edited out. Just like a harmless series like MHA with zero political themes got the full ban hammer just because China interpreted a character to be an analogue for Unit 731.
>>282308646They changed it? I thought they just censored stuff.
>>282308669Zero mentions of exactly which period of Japanese history KnY takes place I would assume, if you take that out it becomes pretty easy to pretend Kimetsu takes place in fantasy Asia.
>>282308414Honestly, if it had been released in China at least in August, it would have already surpassed a billion dollars by now.KNY’s popularity over there is even greater than in Japan.
>>282308699>Zero mentions of exactly which period of Japanese history KnY takes place I would assumethey openly said its Taisho so 1912 to 1926
>>282308755In China? That's what pondering about.
>>282308699The Hand Demon’s reference to a specific era name, and the implication that the Lower Rank Two defeated by Rengoku had once been a soldier on the former shogunate side during the Boshin War—because of these canonical settings, it’s impossible to regard KnY’s setting as some kind of fantasy Asia.The era names Meiji and Taisho later became honorifics for emperors, and the Boshin War was, quite literally, the birth event of the Empire of Japan.
>>282308703KekWft is this
>>282308544But how?Change all the blood to white?If you do that, Shinobu’s part is going to look ridiculously perverted.And what about the scene where Akaza destroys himself and you can see the bones and organs inside his body?There’s no way to censor that no matter what you do.
>>282309019Fucking suzume made 100 million there, they'll find a way.
The movie was fine, but as per usual for this series the pacing was atrocious. Every time it got close to finally gaining momentum everything grinds to a halt for some poorly placed flashback which kills the entire flow. It feels like there was very little consideration put into making it a good movie structure-wise, it's more of a series of episodes stitched together. It also doesn't help that the movie was two and a half hours long for no reason, and that there are going to be 3 movies for no reason. Well, i say no reason but the reason is money. This entire arc could have been easily adapted into two movies and it would have made for a much better experience
>>282300819What flash game is this image based off again? Brings back memories lol
>>282309127People don't want ufo to cut anything and it's like 7 volumes long.
>>282309065I haven’t seen Suzume, but I can’t imagine that movie having any violent or political scenes that China would censor.
>>282309185I don't think you needed to cut anything though, just increase the pacing. There are so many scenes that drag on for no reason in this movie. By the time we got to the Akaza flashback, which is one of my favorite scenes in the entire manga, everyone was already too exhausted for it to have any proper impact because it felt like the third climax of the movie. The structure is just off.
>>282309303>just increase the pacing.It's already faster than normal, this movie covered 17 chapters in 2 hours and 35 minutes, that's around 7 episodes worth of run time (22 min episodes), that's 2.5 chapters every episode, without break. Back in the TV format 2 to 1.5 chapter was the norm, with only an occasional 3 chapters episode.
If people are complaining about the flashbacks in this movie, they'll be in for it during the snek fight. That was the only time in the manga where I got a bit frustrated with the pacing.
>>282309531I can't wait for the THREE koku flashbacks next movie including a one off flashback with yoriichi's final death after the main flashback.
>>282309127I’ve said this a million times, but ufotable is just a shit studio only good at animation, music, flash effect and CGI.They have zero ability to create anything from scratch, so they leech off properties like Type-Moon and KnY, and every filler episode they’ve done, Rengoku’s, the Hashira Training crap, has been pure garbage.This movie too, stuffed with pointless filler while cutting crucial manga scenes like Rengoku’s brother’s letter or Giyu remembering his sister and Sabito. Absolute clown move.And they can’t even draw faces properly. Shinobu’s eyes are supposed to have that slightly unsettling, insect-like compound look, but they can’t be bothered (despite her barely getting any screentime).KnY manga is far better than the anime. I’ve been saying this for six years, but the low-IQ anime-only crowd just doesn’t get it, and it drives me nuts.
>>282309596They show it a few times, but it's hard to animate in high speed action.
>>282309531Obanai's flashback is short though, even though it happens quite suddenly.
>>282309168Dad 'n Me
>>282309596Get a jo>>282309596b

>>282309019I've just imagined a scenario where the average Chinese citizen just fills in the blanks in their head whenever they see something their government censored. Like Vegeta here, the average Chinese movie watcher knows that Vegeta is coughing up blood and Frieza licking it up villainously but the government censored it to white, so they just imagine its blood in their head.
r/anime malding over this success
>>282295882That’s the point. The guy wasted his potential be becoming a demon and taking the people who loved him for granted. He abandoned everything to become a demon for a few hours at most.
>>282310392>He abandoned everything to become a demon for a few hours at mostMust've been a few weeks at minimum, Pillar Training went for a few weeks, and Zenitsu went through the training before Tanjiro was ready, Kaigaku wasn't part of the training and Zenitsu only gets the news at the last challenge.
>>282310385kny's success tends to do that
>finally updatedSo nice.
>>282310385Currently at 391 million globally, only 6 more million to become the second highest grossing Japanese movie of all time to surpass Spirited Away, again, at 397 million, to settle behind Mugen Train itself at 506 million.
>>282310611Already surpassed, numbers updated it.>>282310745It actually has real chances of surpassing Mugen Train if Sony / Crunchyroll does everything in its power to have the CCP accept a heavily edited theatrical release on time.
>>282310791Imagine the hype for the final movie. they will have to build a statue of wani.
>>282309531I was called crazy when I pointed out how much wani abuses fllashbacks especially in the final arc, sad that it took the anime release for more people to realize this outside of the usual slurpers.
>>282310851Dunno about croc, but bronze statues of the characters will be built for sure around Japan, they do that for phenomenal series that culturally enriched their country (Dragonball, Doraemon, One Piece, etc.).
>>282310791It has 44 million left with second weekends everywhere and france's first weekend, no fucking way it doesn't do better than MT.
>>282310611>It prints money
>>282310476Now that you mention it, Kaigaku was in the corps and Zenitsu never ran into him?
>>282311252He did, offscreen.
>>282311252>>282311278The flashback Zenitsu has shows they have interacted on duty before, but Kaigaku clearly hated Zenitsu so they must've only bumped onto each other occasionally or accidentally. Zenitsu also claims in his near death to Jigoro that he wrote letters to Kaigaku, but he never replied.
>>282311278>>282311527Wow Im a retard. Literally just saw the movie and forgot the corps members shit talking him behind his back and Zenitsu kicking their ass.
>>282300497>>282300525https://mega.nz/folder/nJ8lSJ7K#CAXJ-J55dde5-Vyv5XGD-gDone and ready.
>>282297578Go to the movies, it's really fun.
>>282310385You'd think a place that discuss Anime would be happy that an Anime is making records
>>282312566There's been a trend of sorts where places who supposedly like to talk about a certain topic actually just feverishly hate it.
>>282311991Thanks anon
>>282295882I finally watched the anime and the movies, and honestly, I found them kinda soulless. The animation technique is stunning but there's no risk or creativity. Everything seems to be done with a calculator to make you feel what they want you to feel.>Here's a fight, awesome moves, right? Huh? Get hyped!>Here's a sad flashback, very sad, huh? Are you crying? Cry!It's almost the embodiment of the expression "turn off your brain".
>>282312809Thats just kny as a whole. The manga is the same but with less techniques since gotouge is a shit artist
>>282312809If you've read it you kinda know where they will take each scene because very little is added dialogue and location wise. However, what they have added in abundance is the sakuga. The manga is good too, but if they would have done a Jojo-tier 110% faithful adaptation there would be no movie
>>282312981>and location wise.IF looks amazing as a background now, however, those fucking fountains, nakime needs a raise.
imagine your humble first serialized work becoming a cultural cornerstone
>>282311991>>282300497Oh, I actually have the final two arcs colored version saved locally, so I'll go ahead and upload thatIt's not complete yet, but here's the linkhttps://mega.nz/folder/X4oQUZ6Y#KHp-FSpjFpOLCyHDc2m18A
>>282312809>Here's a fight, awesome moves, right? Huh? Get hyped!>Here's a sad flashback, very sad, huh? Are you crying? Cry!What the fuck is this critique lmao they are wrong for telling the story they want to tell?
>>282313272It's pseudo-intellectual criticisms. Expect to hear "emotionally manipulative" in a few posts.
>>282313089Imagine having the forethought to use a pen name and successfully hide your identity for years before it becomes said cultural cornerstone.
Im so angry they didn't make this scene manga-accurate and direction was kinda impactress.Felt like CSM season 1 live action like direction.
>>282312809Is fine if you don't like it, but saying your big complain is that art uses resources to make you feel a certain way is retarded
>>282313473Anon, the color version made up a shitton of stuff and non of the renditions are canon.It looks, EXACTLY, like the bw version.
>>282300622The movie focused too much on being a non-stop spectacle, some of the more grounded moments fell through the cracks
>>282313570oh god digital color edition giving me platinum white blonde argument flashbacks
>>282313645that also reminds me that the digital color people didn't get yoriichi's bag right so almost no one noticed the planning that went into that
Just came back from the movie, I couldn't focus on the Akaza fight at all due to being reminded how stupid the Shinobu fight and fate were
>>282313694I'm glad she at least found some way to make herself useful combat-wise seeing as she was too busy with Tamayo to partake in the Pillar Training
>>282313694What's wrong with shinobu fight?
It would be funny if China allowed IC1 but only if it comes out directly against Zootopia 2 just to force both to look worse compared against Ne Zha 2.
>>282310791It should reach $600M even without China.
>>282312809Not every "sad" flashback is even meant to make you cry, some of them just give greater context or purposefully wrap up the themes of an arc. You're genuinely retarded if reducing shit to some formula is your only takeaway from this.>It's almost the embodiment of the expression "turn off your brain".>almostSounds like you're already there.
Didn't Douma fall in love with Shinobu while they were both in limbo? What made him suddenly want to fuck her again?
>>282313570His eye is bloodshot in both monochrome and color.I can’t understand why ufotable kept his left eye white.Also, as for the direction, this scene should’ve been presented with a more impactful, dramatic flair alongside an ominous soundtrack.The anime version was far too quiet and bland.
>>282315058It just feels like Ufotable doesn't care about this fight and sees it as filler.
they shouldve retconned shinobu's deathbecause shes cute, too cute to die
>>282315058Confirmed once again that Wani is way better than ufotable’s animators when it comes to drawing character facial expressions.In the manga, even without dialogue, the characters’ emotions and atmosphere in each moment are conveyed extremely well.
>>282314868Your Name got a second run on theaters? I don't remember the time it surpassed Spirited Away.
>>282313694The shinobu fight was kino, dickeater.
>>282315058Its insane how bland the manga looks compared to the anime
>>282315193Should've ended up with Giyuu.Literally the most popular KNY straight ship
PISS BREATHING 2ND FORM: CONSTANT FLUXhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L59PyGnxk9k
>>282313570This Douma isn’t just about the bloodshot eyes, his whole face is covered in shadow, making his eyebrows hard to see.As a result, the way his brows curve into that droopy shape becomes less noticeable, which really cuts down on the obnoxious, smarmy aura he gives off.Most likely, Sotozaki (or maybe Kondou) chose to emphasize Douma’s scariness in the direction, but I’m not a fan of it.
>>282298370Dance him to death
did other countries' dubs translate the forms' names? I watched in portuguese and they just straight up switch to japanese mid sentence, it was so cringe
>>282314503>>282315239Her plan was stupid, she went out like a bitch, and left four girls without a mentor figure
>>282313272>they are wrong for telling the story they want to tell?It's not about the story, it's about the experience of watching it.>>282313519I prefer art that evokes feelings rather than dictates them.>>282314869>Not every "sad" flashback is even meant to make you cry99% of them clearly have this goal.>Sounds like you're already there. I'm trying to discuss the show, while you and many here, on the other hand, are trying to silence anyone who doesn't praise it.
>>282315222Yes, but I'm almost sure there's a mistake with Box Office Mojo. They added $24M in 2020 for a re-release in Korea and another $23M for the one in 2023. No way it brought in that much just from a re-release.
>>282315398Where’s my Burger King collab?
>>282315310Where is this list from?
>>282315193Would be embarrassing if UM2 didn't kill a PillarAlthough to be fair, he already killed Kanae
>>282315437The forms are called "Kata" but their names gets translated.Like Thunder breathing, First form: Thunderclap and Flash in Italian is:>Respirazione del Fulmine, primo kata: Lampo improvviso
>>282315398I'm assuming the Tanjiro burger is spicier, while the Nezuko burger is sweeter.
>>282315516Not the anon, but I imagine it's from pixiv or something similar like they usually are.
>>282315310>Okikagu still at the topIt surprises me, especially considering how unpopular het ships usually are in female heavy fandoms like Gintama.
>>282315464>I will save hundred of lives if i manage to kill UPM2She went like a boss
>>282315633I really hate the official english translatons of "X Breathing" instead of /a/ translations that use "Breath of X"
>>282315706OR she doesn't try to solo an upper rank for revenge and instead lives to help to try to take Muzan down as a team effort
>>282315310it's a really good ship
No baby Hakuji?
>>282315630>Would be embarrassing if UM2 didn't kill a PillarThen feed him one of the ones that barely had screentime instead of the second most popular one
>>282315926People love you more after your death if you're a popular character.It's the Ace effect
>>282315437A fellow hue, you should know by now our dubs are very fond of just keeping techniques as it was in Japanese, unless it is a nostalgic work like Saint Seiya in which all techniques got translated, and wrong at that, but since the dub is worshipped it just stayed that way. Also it is following our official translation manga terms, it is also left with several Japanese terms as is.I do recall a few confused parents near me wondering what the hell were the characters saying whenever they called their attacks, though.
>>282315880Not shown, he just makes a mention verbally.Stuff like this is that I'm guessing is being left for a TV cut of the Infnity Castle movies, like the Mugen Train tv version did by adding what was left from the movie.
>>282315386yeah the mock concern when the eyebrows are visible really does change the tone. I was brushing this tangent off but you're totally right.
>>282315926Every girl is fucking sad about shinobu death. Douma is really hated right now before he was thirsted lol
>>282316214Him voring her makes it more romantic actually.
Bro thinks he’s in the gang
>>282315386I liked how scary he looked in that one scene at least. The entire fight he's mock concerned and "sad"
>>282316214It'll be funny if anyone leans into the "ooh that's a sexist fridgeing of a woman character!!!!" when Doma is an honest to god anti-misogyny themed fight that no one has ever complained about as preachy.
>>282316289I think since Akaza "doesn't kill women" and has an extremely tragic romance douma is really fucking insane and evil since he prefers to eat women more
>>282316284I remember an anon's comment about him a while ago comparing him to a last minute hire so they can fill in spots. Yeah, that really sounds like him. It is funny how Yushiro tries to add>Well you would've died in seconds if he had time to practiceas if that would matter.
>>282295882Just saw it today. Loved it Akazas Backstory went on too long though
I saw some Indian guy complaining that they dubbed Koyuki saying, "Welcome home, my friend" to Hakuji
I feel like they could've easily cut this movie down to 90-100 minutes without actually cutting anything except the fluff like the dozens of scenes of the castle unraveling and characters running
>>282312272>wanted to watch the movie>the stupid faggots behind me were munching nonstopmotherfuckers had infinite popcorn, we were watching Akaza's flashback and they were still eating popcorn and shaking the bucket every 20 seconds just to make noise
>>282316955>Infinite popcornThat's hilarious.
I am so glad I did not cave and read the manga. The movie was insane for an anime only. The excitement at the opening, with them all dropping into the castle, the music, nothing like it ever during a movie i've seen.
>>282316955lmao literally my experience >near empty theater >dude next to me finishes the popcorn near the climax>sigh in relief because I'll see it in relative peace>dude behind him fucking hands him his bag saying he couldn't finish it alone>the quiet emotional scenes all had munching sounds over them >he ate popocorn until the credits rolledI was seething
Why did the global release take two months?It takes too much time.
>>282316955Kek
I will be honest, the way UFO decided to do things with these movies was extremely interesting. Make no mistake, it IS a bunch of episodes glued by duct tape. You can perfectly point out where the commercial breaks and the "end-of-episode" scenes are. There was zero effort to pretend it was conceived primarily as a cinema-experience... only they went ahead and put it on cinemas anyway, logic be danmed. At this point of my reply, you might be thinking I'm complaining... but actually, I'm in awe. As a long time fan who read the manga as it was coming out, it borders on unbeliavable that I was able to eat my cake and have it too. I wanted Infinity Fortress, as we used to call it here on /a/, to be adapted into episodes, with no cut content or changes made with the sole intention of making it a "better movie".I also wanted top-notch animation, and I wanted to watch it on the big screen with my friends. These selfish desires seemed completely at odds with each other. I told myself I couldn't have everything... only to get surprised by the fact that UFO, at the peak of their arrogance, just told the entire planet "I will bundle a bunch of TV episodes together and sell it as a movie, and you WILL all pay to watch it".... and they were right, the absolute madmen. All comments about this movie not being properly paced or not feeling like a movie are absolutely right: it's not a fucking movie. It wears the title of "movie" as a skinsuit. Anyone who starts watching KnY in 2030 will just watch "Season 5: Infinity Castle" on Netflix and Crunchyroll and watch the content in the way it was meant to be watched (as episodes), and then their friends will comment as a piece of trivia "Oh, did you know this season was first shown as a movie trilogy back in the 2020s?" and there will be that. UFO won a risky bet. Now they get to fill their pockets with endless money while not cutting any content.We really won the hardest any fanbase could ever dream of.
>>282317118Apparently it's a big deal even for a major corporation coordination-wise. And it probably helped DS a lot, they get prime summer + that week long jap holiday in july in their main market then they got to snipe a weak weekend for amerifats and "latin america". And for two months western fans were hearing about it doing incredibly in asia.
>>282316955Lmao
I took my father with me to watch the movie last Saturday. He didn’t know anything about KnY, the only anime he has watched was DB back in the 90s/early 2000s. He completely enjoyed it and says he will look forward to watch the next two movies. I’m really happy bros.
>>282317316That's sweet anon, anything in particular he liked about it?
>>282317118Sony (through Crunchyroll) was looking around the release schedule of several movies since July, big releases like Superman and Fantastic Four were threats in the US market, also Warner and Marvel have more sway with theaters to prioritize their releases above everyone else.
>>282317289They did the same shit with Infinity Train five years ago dumbass, you should've seen it comingAlso everyone already binge-watches everything, this is how most people experience most shows they watch already, as one big long stretch rather than episodes paced over weeks
>>282317020>>282316949>Went out of my way to only eat popcorn during the most noisy bits>was dead silent during the quiet bits>someonw brought their 5 year old (no fucking way he was actually reading the subs) to the movie>was munching his fucking ass off
>>282317439>>someonw brought their 5 year old (no fucking way he was actually reading the subs) to the movieHow'd he get in? When we went there some idiot father tried to fence in his clearly 10 year old son as 13, reasoning that they forgot his ID. They were not allowed entry.
>>282317370He definitely cried with Akaza’s backstory.
>>282316955>Kekkijutsu...>Delicious Crunchy Morsels
>>282317460Genuinely have no idea. I had hoped going to see it in the middle of the day during a school week would result in a better experience but fuck me i guess.
>>282315790It was just bad luck that she ran into UM2 alone, not like she was going to run away after running into him in the castle
Is the first Infinity Castle movie really called Akaza Returns or is that just fake news? I haven’t seen a single official account refer to it as Akaza Returns, they hardly even call it Part 1. Most of the time it’s just Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle.
>>282317560No, that's the first I've heard of it. That's probably shitposting though since he pretty much occupies like half of it.
>>282317546I mean if they want us to believe she's smart, yeah she'd do exactly that
>>282317289as a Haikyuu fan, this hits hard. Battle of the Garbage Dump went on the opposite direction: they took the manga content and worked with it in a way to make it a "good movie"so they focused on every scene that related to the main theme around a couple of characters, and cut everything that would make it feel "episodic"the result is a "good movie", but I would prefer a "bad movie" that was 150+ minutes of content, because then I could watch it at my own pace for the rest of my life afterwards
>>282315310>>282315853Wtf is this ship even based on? The fact that they were introduced together? Or is there some extra shit in the fanbook im unaware of
>>282317618Self inserters.
>>282317618The way they talk to each other I guess. I think it's in between the lines when Shinobu taunts Giyuu after he protects Nezuko, "this is why nobody likes you." Were that the case, why is Shinobu working with him? Ignoring corps orders of course.
>>282317603Any hashira that ran into him alone would try to solo him
>>282317618They were introduced together, and had genuine funny banter, that's more than what's needed to spark a shipper fandom, and that's just the manga.ufotable are blatant Giyu and Shinobu shippers, they made a ton of promo material with the two together back when season 1 debuted. Then came the Giyu Gaiden manga that further funneled the shipper flames by portraying another joint mission with Giyu and Shinobu, retreating the same funny banter they had in the original manga/anime.
>>282317618Tomioka gaiden
>>282317744Giyu got his Gaiden after people were already shipping them, it only reinforced it.
>>282317010>The excitement at the opening, with them all dropping into the castle, the musicI know right, it was a great start to the movie.
>>282317693Any other hashira isn't presented as the smart one
>>282311991>>282313183Thanks a lot!You guys are awesome.
>>282317010>>282317800Honestly I was more hyped at how the last season ended, that should've been in the movie IMO
>>282317289people complained about the lenght of Akaza's flashback, but it's clearly divided into the second half of Episode 6 and the first half of Episode 7.so yeah, it will "age" much better when consumed in season-format.
>>282317612This movie should've been 2.5 hours too. Fuck Production IG, greedy cunts.
>>282317010I read the manga but i didn't remember parts of Akaza backstory like the evil dojo next to them and koyuki holy shit that was sad
>>282317612They really are going to chop it into episodes though, that's not just people being paranoid. That way they can sell it to Netflix for more and have cool chart-topping OP and ED songs. They want that cake and to eat it too. A lot of the complaints about it being paced like a TV anime are still jejune because it's fundamentally an adaptation of a weekly manga with constant cliffhangers though.
During the flashback when Akaza was going over to kill the dojo people who poisoned Koyuki I was afraid it was going to flash back to the dojo people's sad backstory
Is it out on torretnt yet
Is it worth seeing in 4DX?
>>282317924It's genuine for sure. I find it cute when I see kimetsubros denying this and saying the pacing was good. I think they just mean they enjoyed the experience because they like the series, and thus defend it out of emotion. But even as someone who had a great time, this was less of a movie and more of a "watch party", like we were binging Netflix on a giant screen.
I saw the movie in IMAX and they had like 4D surround sound and the fights actively made use of it. felt like I was inside the movie
I haven't been following since Season 2. Should I head to the Kinoplex or insist I watch in order?
I enjoy Muzan being a petty asshole. Nothing's ever good enough for him.
it was very good but i wished kpop demon hunters would be in imax
Was there a scene like this?I didn't see this scene in my theater.
>>282318475Sony left it to die and it was a miracle it even got popular. Not too sure about seeing that in the movies, I just know the shrill sound of people trying to sing the songs would kill me.
>>282318545That's the after credits shot.
>>282318569Oh, in my theater, no one watches until the end, so I didn't notice.I think most people are missing this.
The whole thing about Akaza wondering why sick people are always apologizing got me for some reason.
For someone who was a fresh demon, Kaigaku had some good memory of his human life.
>>282318796Because it's a real life observation but not a cliche and because it's an implicit revelation of Akaza's character, that he never really even had a bit of resentment of weakness.>>282318879I always thought it was a pattern that fully willing demons had better memories.
>>282312566>>282312673>thinks you guys were kidding>checks the sub out of curiosityFurther proof that gatekeeping leddit subhumans is the right choice.
>>282315473>I found them kinda soulless.This isn't the discussing the show. It's unironic nonsense from someone who can't even be fucked to properly articulate any worthwhile taking points. And you think "turn your brain off" is somehow worthy of an actual discussion? Fuck right off.
>>282318031i marathoned this show last month, first time watching it, i remember the spider kid demon had a flashback inside a flashback, i couldnt believe that shit
>>282318879Bad people / willing demons have all shown either to have good memories of their past, or didn't change their way of life at all.- Bad person, remember their past lives: Douma, Kokushibo - Bad person, lost memories but act the same anyways: Hangengu, Gyokko
>>282315473>>282319031And let's be real. If you had actual criticisms out of genuine interest or curiosity for the series, you would've been talking about it already, not making broad declarations about ill-defined shit spouting generic rhetoric like "art evoking emotions". You want a discussion? Try actually engaging with the work instead of making a lazy post and then getting your panties in a bunch when people call you out for it.
>>282303807It’s funny that you say that because Naraku became Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
>>282317370>>282317470>the dad was probably fighting back tears during the flashback>the dam breaks completely when both of hakuji's dad's are there for him in the end.Pure SOVL
>>282318087>like we were binging Netflix on a giant screen.Wouldn't have it any other way. people are to used to the formulaic movie experience and i'm glad something like an anime series just decides to say fuck all that.
>>282295882Yeah this guy was basically a wimp, only guy to get fucking solo'd by anyone. Everyone else was a squad effort and upper moon 1 was a bloodbath worse than any other fight.
>>282295882Whats the song that plays after giyuu gets his red mark? Never liked kny’s ost but that one was good
>>282320304One of the new variations of Giyuus theme
>>282295963Why didn't he just pick off the Hashira one at a time by dragging them into the IC? None of them could defeat himself and all the Upper Ranks simultaneously. Is he stupid?
Why did Akaza kill himself and reject his demonic perfection, even knowing that he'd go to hell and, even after being reborn, wouldn't see the people he cared for ever again? Is he stupid?
>>282319733>couldn't even pass Thunder Breathing 101 which basically makes the rest of the course meaningless>his wimpy simpy faggot of a classmate literally aces it in his sleepI can see why he was seething so hard.
>the virgin AKEKza>has the perfect blood demon art for fighting>evolves to the point that he can regenerate his own fucking head>kills himself because a girl he never smashed told him to>pretty girl eyelashes and baby face>the CHAD GOATaro>has a blood demon art that's good against anyone except the one Hashira he was matched up against>held back only by his worthless little sister who wasn't even a real Upper Rank>died because of plot armor and little sister jobbing to non-Hashira opponents>still said he'd be reborn and become a demon again in every future even though that literally isn't possible anymore>a face that not even a mother can love (she tried to kill him over it)
The bags Hakuji is juggling are colored after Keizo, Koyuki and himself. At first he is juggling Keizo's, then later Koyuki's and then finally his last.
>>282299998I don't get why, dude literally 1v1'd a number and crows didn't give a fuck
>>282321524Kaigaku was just that trash. Hopefully he was still above Daki-tier
>>282312809You just described how i feel perceive other popular shonen, especially One Piece, not KnY though
>>282312809How pointless and retarded. Still, got a few (You)s out of it.
>>282321160They were literally too strong for too long, their scheming and planning and strategizing became stagnant. Why strategize when you've been face rolling everyone for the past 500 years?
>>282321198stop posting Kokushibou
>>282313625Ufotable has been like this for years. Ruined the Heaven's Feel movies with how over the top and almost parody like the action focus is.
>>282302929>>282303268Can we all agree that Hakuji unambiguously, unironically did nothing wrong?
>>282322353>Ruined the Heaven's Feel movies with how over the top and almost parody like the action focus is.Are you joking? It's the opposite. They ruined Heaven's Feel by wanking Sakura's whore angst endlessly, to the detriment of literally everything else. Look at how they all but skipped over Nine Bullet Revolver and Shirou vs Kotomine, the most hyped and manliest scenes in the source material. Just to show more fucking waifu shit. As for fights of course they blew it all on the boring as fuck designated girlfight. Nine Lives and Kirei got fucking nothing, the scraps, zero budget blink and you'll miss it.
>>282321160Muzan thought he had a completely invincible option to just kill Nakime and collapse the castle and kill everyone at any time. Yushiro was a completely unpredictable factor.
>>282322621Is eternal shota strong?
If Muzan was poisoned and the poison in his blood, why didn't he just rip himself apart until he had a brand new body/blood?
>>282322675Mentally he's a bitch
>>282322670Don't read spoilers if you're anime only
>>282322675Karl Pilkington watches anime
>>282322675It wasn't poison, but a drug that apparently reverses the demonizing process.
>>282321198Akaza was fundamentally someone who couldn't live for himself. He needed someone else to protect. When he was decapitated and regained his human memories, he couldn't ignore the fact that he had nothing to live for anymore.
>>282321198Are you a woman? Only women would fail to understand.
>>282300560The Zenitsu 7th Form remix is legitimately the most hype OST in the entire fucking movieDoesn't help the base song was already great
>>282322973Is it out anywhere?
Why do most of fans misunderstand that Giyu and Makomo are same gen?
>>282323917Because the whole Sabito thing felt like a dropped early installment plot line that ended up irrelevant and a poor match with the later parts of the story.
>>282314868Where's VeG?! Everyone said that movie was the greatest thing to happen to japan?
>>282323917Wait, they aren't?
>>282324092Giyu was same year as Sabito. Makomo couldn't have been the same year since no one died except Sabito in that year's selection.
>>282324092makomo was at least 1 year after Sabito's death.
>>282324092Makomo was probably one of Urokodaki’s disciples back when he was much younger.
>>282321160>Why didn't he just pick off the Hashira one at a time by dragging them into the IC?He literally just got the demon that can do that. Even he didn't know Biwa could track people like that, he comments outright he vastly underestimated her.>None of them could defeat himself and all the Upper Ranks simultaneously. IBuddy none of them could beat an upper rank for 113 years before this part of the story, he has literally been XP farming hashira for a century they're not a big deal to him. Even then he never imagined this group would actually manage to kill one of the big three. All he cares about right now is surviving the poison Tomato and killing off anyone standing between him and Nezuko.
I can't believe Shinobu diedKANAO, PLEASE DESTROY THAT DOMA MOTHERFUCKER PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
It was okay. The intro was great though.
>>282317289Nah what blows my mind is they somehow won.This year has been a gauntlet of bad choices made with arrogance that have blown up in their faces from a lot of Hollywood. They turned Snow White brown and made her a communist complete with non-ironic in movie line about thieves being economically forced into crime because they were absolutely certain they could seem progressive and people would buy it. Marvel went full 1960's aesthetic with Fantastic Four, but none of the story to go with it, because they were sure they could just give it a distinct look and people would buy it. Black Captain America replacing the character people liked, MEGAN 2.0 completely changing its entire genre because they felt Megan was now an feminist icon and they could do whatever they wanted and people would go(Their words)Lots of other companies had this level of arrogance of "We will make it like this and you WILL pay for it". but by and large they've failed to actually make those numbers pay for it enough to make back their budgets. Then comes Demon Slayer and they had that arrogance of "Yeah, it's just a movie collection and if you didn't see the show you won't know what the fuck is going on", and instead of getting some expected leg sweep of karma, they got Blockbuster Tentpole level opening IN AMERICA. Not just Japan where it was enough of a cultural phenomena that you could pull it off, it's in the us and making that money.More than anything I'm just impressed they pulled off what could easily be a faceplant.
>>282324668It won in every country it released.Amazingly so, and it's going to beat fucking mugen train in like two weeks tops.
>>282324668>MEGAN 2.0 completely changing its entire genre because they felt Megan was now an feminist iconShe's a psychotic killer robot that murdered innocent people and animals...
>>282324668Nobody’s asking for the KnY movie to actually be a “film.”In both Japan and the West, the number one reason people are watching it is simply because it’s KnY.According to market research data, as of 2024 the most popular anime series in North America(An index based on streaming viewership data, IMDb ratings and so on) are KnY at #1 and JJK at #2.In short, the quality of the movie doesn’t really matter (the audience scores on review sites are generally positive, but that’s not the point). It’s just that the fanbase is so massive, that’s the only reason it became a hit.
Shinobu needed her own arc like Rengoku or Tengen.
>>282324846
>>282325199Sanemi and obanai deserved their own arcTheir development and spotlight were so late into the final arc
KnY is right wing?
>>282324668The success makes posts like this >>282312809 and >>282309596 extremely funny, and I’m not even saying this to mock those anons. I honestly get what they mean in terms of ufotable’s shortcomings.No, the funny part is that SO MANY OTHER STUDIOS FAILED TO ACHIEVE EVEN THAT MUCH then act surprised when nobody wants to pay full price movie tickets in this economy. It’s not actually-I’m not going to say easy because animation takes time and effort, but not CONCEPTUALLY COMPLEX to entertain the average animeonly. Throw some sick fights together with good music, make sure the VAs are belting out lines like they’re possessed by the characters, and don’t fuck with canon beyond Lagann-hen levels of expanding things. There. The people are now entertained and will proceed to participate in capitalism to your benefit.It really is that simple. You don’t need every movie to be an MCU IP kudzu infestation, you don’t need Pedro Pascal playing every character and his mom, you don’t need a shitty gag every 5 minutes and you definitely don’t need a DEI checklist that white women think will magically improve the lives of black men in Uganda. You just need to build it, and they’ll come, and it’s baffling entire entertainment industries cannot fathom this.
>>282297639Hiding in shame I presume
>>282325516There aren’t really any elements that glorify war or imperialism, but if you had to place it on a spectrum, it’s definitely on the right.After all, Kyushu, where Gotouge comes from, has traditionally been a conservative region with a strong tendency to value Japanese tradition and values.
>>282325516>story about the militant defenders of traditional values vs unfulfilled NPCs and actual degenerates>the main villain styles is satanic-coded>you’re supposed to REPRODUCE and PASS ON YOUR LEGACYI mean technically, but since it is JAPANESE right wing keep in mind it is intrinsically un-American. Remember this movie is canonically a prequel to Pearl Harbour.
>>282325597>I’m waiting to see what happensLmao, what does he even expect to get from anything “happening”?
>>282325626It's him pretending to be a box office analyst.
>>282325611I would argue while it definitely glorifies martial prowess, but if anything tacitly condemns war for any purpose other than self-defence and supporting your local community. Koku and Akaza are both portrayed as ultimately empty and unfulfilled for walking the fight autist’s path to the end, to say nothing of the loser Zeni beheaded.
>>282325652there was an account on the box office >redditthat typed exactly like him
>>282325611I think Gotouge is kind of like J.K. Rowling.From her values, it’s likely that respecting others and people including different races is her default stance, basically a liberal outlook.But when it comes to fundamental values and views on gender, she seems firmly committed to preserving and upholding the old-fashioned, traditional beliefs as something unchanging and important.
>>282325695Gotouge portrays the feminist Akaza as a likable villain, while depicting the misogynist Douma as unlikable, so she’s probably a feminist herself.
>>282318031kek
>>282325597Actually, I'm still here, I'm just not chronically online like the vast majority of the ugly, repulsive retard who will die alone, untouched and unloved. Anyway, all it proves is that Ufotable are carrying this franchise from hell to back. It's also a VERY good thing none of that money goes to the author. Ufotable are really like an alchemist who can turn a turd into gold like Torishima said.Oh, and anime fans are pretty gullible and have low standards. Ufotable will double dip and release for streaming later anyway, but if my fanbase were as dumb, I'd exploit them too, haha.
>>282325822>none of that money goes to the author.The merch.
>>282325856Doesn't matter, every half successful mangaka makes money out of merch. What matters is that the author won't make a single penny out of the anime or any of the movies like say Oda actually does. All that money doesn't even go to Ufotable, technically. It goes to Aniplex (the investor of this IP) and Shueisha (the owner of this IP), they're the real winners.
>>282325611In my view, all shonen besides SNK and KNY are left-leaning.Conversely, it’s precisely because of their uniqueness that these two drew so much public attention.
>>282325376Obanai deserved to be cutGotouge just wanted to use that monochrome stripes design again and had fuck all else for him.Isn't he the second pillar in the manga?
I guess part 2 will be a three-hour-plus movie with an intermission.Remember what I said.
The animation of blue silver chaotic afterglow is fucking insane man. Nozoumu abe is truly a monster.
>>282322670His love for Tamayo is STRONG
>>282325932Too bad that scene gets bogged down by flashbacks too
>>282325892Gotouge clearly loves Iguro and plays favorites with him.It’s obvious that her fetish is for this type of creepy black-haired male character.
>>282325932I went to see it twice, and in both theaters I went to, the audience went wild like a bunch of zoo monkeys at this scene even more than at Zenitsu’s Seventh Form.
>>282325892>Isn't he the second pillar in the manga?I was half right, he is tied 2nd with Shinobu. The anime adds all the Pillars here.>>282325972It's a beautiful design, ehh I can't really blame her...
>>282325972Go you think Gotouge likes Megumi or Yuji’s half-Curse half-brother?
>>282325972She should’ve kept the sharp art style she had around this time and during early KnY.I really don’t like the rounder, cuter look of the later KnY art.
Do you like Giyu more or less after seeing the movie?
>>282326035It’s easy to guess that Gotouge’s favorite is Geto.By the way, Gege loves Muzan and even has a sticker of him on his tablet.
>>282325993I find this very interesting. The last time I witnessed that was on some marvel movie (Spider-Man perhaps or avengers), and I don't imagine any anime other than dragon ball, Naruto or one piece getting something like this. It really is a big thing. I'll go see it next weekend, see how it goes
>>282326049always loved ugly and gayjust happy he got the love
>>282326075See that I’m not surprised at all by
>>282326049>My back hurt>I'm pissed nowThe theater I went to was going crazy for marked Giyuu vs Akaza. That autist will always have a special place in my heart.
>>282325972Can't say I'm not with Wani.I find the design of this motherfucker terribly endearing.
>>282321160Almost every single demon regrets being one, as soon as they recover their memories, they want to escape muzan's pointless carnage.
>>282297639in police custody after he peed on those kids in Arizona
>>282325966I can't wait until we get the "HD FULL FIGHT edit" uploaded on YouTube after people finally get access to the movie raw
>>282325617While having a family is obviously portrayed as very fulfilling, I feel like the legacy stuff was more about deeds than stuff passed down by blood. Koku had a family and descendants but left no legacy, meanwhile Yoriichi doesn’t pass down his genes but leaves a great legacy. Same w/ Rengoku
>>282325769Akaza is no feminist, he's squarely set in the old ways of woman weak, must not hurt.Douma is also not a misogynist, he's just a psychopath who doesn't value human life in general.
>>282324529
>>282325822>I'm just not chronically onlineBro shut up kek
Anyone here watching the earlier seasons of KnY after watching Infinity Castle?I'm currently watching the Swordsmith Arc (Now at Episode 10) and I'm not sure why the pacing is so weird and I'm the guy who had no problem with some of KnY slower moments and flashbacks I can see why it's considered the weakest although I don't have much complaints so far besides the pacing part.
>>282317289>>282324668>>282325588do you really not know about mugen trainthe winning already happened
>>282326855That was like a once in a lifetime thing.IF actually posing itself to beat it within this month IS unexpected.
Mitsuri would marry any man that showed her positive attention, because Mitsuri is a uncofident slut.Never forget that.
>>282326886Am I the only one who believes she crushed on Rengoku but he was just uninterested and Snek swooped in and won her over? The novels sure made it seem that way.
>>282326886this is true
>>282326910This may sound a bit mean, but I feel like she wasn't specifically interested in Rengoku as much as his cheerful personality just made her gush over him.Mitsuri is just really, really, really desperate for some love. If fucking Zenitsu had been simping for her instead of Nezuko, he would have gotten her wrapped around his finger without almost any effort.That's how down bad she was.
What should Ufotable add to the parts where Muzan did nothing but flail his arms and tentacles around to better showcase his shapeshifting ability and make the fight more interesting?
>>282327052No. Ufotable should not change his flailing.Part of Muzan's character is that he's a dumbass with almost zero real combat experience that just coasts off his insane natural strenght. He becomes a baby later on for a reason, you know?If Ufotable makes him some chad shapeshifter fighter ala Mahito or whatever, he loses the one interesting thing about him.
>>282327087He should have proper choreo, and maybe black blood arts.
The main theme of KnY is that life in Japan fucking sucked at every point in history
>>282327042That retard with the glasses threw it all away. Or maybe he should be given an award, because if Mitsuri never became a Demon Slayer, Muzan would've never been defeated.Actually, thinking about it, his faggotry helped end the demon threat once and for all. He did his part.
>>282327127The main theme is that everything bad in life is always caused by one talented retard who failed to do his job some hundred years ago.
>>282327087Oh fuck off with this cope. There are countless interesting things that could be done with Muzan without having him move around like he's an expert swordsman or martial art artist.
The biggest influence of KNY will be that I can never see the phrase "X won!" Without hearing it in my head shouted by someone crying
>>282326886>>282327013damn mitsuri a fucking WHORE, a SLUT, a HARLOT
>>282327267A cute WHORE, a loveable SLUT, a beautiful HARLOT.
Reading the vol 18 extras the evil dojo were asking for death. Akaza already beat all of them for bothering koyuki and the son who was jealous is the one who poisoned the well, what a retard
>>282327013She was lesbian for Shinobu. Hot
I want to have sex with all of Tengen's wives.
>>282327641We know Tengen
>>282327052Make his arms/tubes more eldritch
>>282327641No Gyutaro
>>282327555>hearts for the men, fell in love with snek>"she was a lesbian xddd"kys yuricuck
Imagine how croc must feel about all of this.
>>282325932It's a great interpretation of the attack. However, I do think it is quite funny the anime decided to show Akaza can summon shadows of himself to cover all 360 degrees the manga mentioned; I guess they thought Akaza alone would have to spin like mad to cover whole field?
I used to despise Shinobu now after the movie i'm rewatching season 1 feeling bad for her
>>282327191Such as
>>282328122you know tengen been wearin them bitches the fuck out
>>282328122>Biwa demonShe was actually married
i feel like a lot of the older guys really went wild for Zenitsu. I'm an older guy and he's been one of my favorite characters, he reminds me a lot of Kinnikuman. Hate to see all the youngins latching on to him after he "locked in", as they say.
>>282326049Less, he barely has a personality
>>282326686I'm not your bro and you're still chronically online. Anyway, it's a very good thing and kind of based that Aniplex and Shueisha are the ones making all that money and NOT the author. Feeling bad for Ufotable, they deserve that money too.Though, I wonder what Demon Slayer's long-term will be after the anime ends. It clearly struggles to thrive in the video game scene as do all anime IPs who isn't Dragon Ball. I also don't see it as a live action franchise unlike One Piece, because all these visual effects looks like an absolute nightmare to translate into live action. Spin-off potential? Muzan's lore got dumped in the final fight and the epilogue leaves zero room for continuation. Prequels? Everything potentially interesting was already told with Yoriichi. So it seems it's a very anime-driven franchise. On the bright side, Ufotable got Genshin Impact next.
>>282327052Shapeshift into other Slayers to confuse them. He can already turn into a woman and a child. Use his body mouths to catch blades or shoot blood from or something else.Shapeshift wings to fly. More advanced version of his black blood techniques. I could go on
>>282326049I have always liked Tomioka
>>282326049He’s stronger than Rengoku and that’s all that matters to me.
>>282328214Loud characters who take a lot to grow up really is an old mold, the younger generations don't have patience for someone like Zenitsu was early on, now that he had his big moment, he has "locked in" so he turns more likeable for a general audience.
>>282328251The croc is making plenty of money dont you worry your pretty little head.
>>282328077More body horror and more elemental attacks, basically what he used in the last 2-3 chapters of the fight. Also >>282327769 >>282328280aside from the shapeshifting into a slayer part
>>282328308And then he will turn back to the loud retard. But i think zenitsu is not really in the next movie so zoomers will spend some time believing he's changed
>>282328280>Shapeshift into other Slayers to confuse themYou really want more of this shit? No one would ever mistake Muzan for another person since he couldn't hide his pale skin and demonic eyes.
>>282328614>Turns into Nezuko>Molests Tanjiro>Returns to normal, doesn't explain anythingIt would be peak.
>>282317618UGLY AND GAYMuzan should have just left Japan and he would be still alive. imagine living in the only country with people wanting to kill you
>>282328614This but with Muzan and Mitsuri
>>282328831KEK it would work on her
>>282328843Don't get too cocky. This shit would work on all retarded slayers.So like, 70% of them.
>>282297290Most slayers would choose death over becoming a d*#on, he's desperate and this is the best he's getting
>>282328910>>282328843He'd be butt naked how would anyone fall for it
>>282328280>>282328614For the final movie Muzan should spawn copies of all previous slain upper moons. Maybe not as strong as the real thing, but it would be cool af to see them fight marked slayers.
>>282328948Yeah bro lets just plagiarize Naruto this time
>>282328948I wish. I want to see him again.
>>282328122Mitsuri would be the tightest
>>282328947Mitsuri would start drooling once she saw a penis and all rational thought would escape her already mostly empty head.
>>282328982He was too strong to win.
The cutest part about their relationship, is that Mitsuri would not even feel his tiny cock entering her, but would still encourage him and would fake moans so he can be happy. And after a bit of training and some breathing techniques, his weak sperm might even fertilize her with the power of love.
>>282328488he will only be a whimp for about 30 seconds in the 3rd movie's fightand that's about it
>>282329066Why have you done this?
>>282329069Not that anon, but Zenitsu's antics outside fights do remain, he will act a little nasty in the scenes after all fights are over.
>>282328966Naruto didn't create this trope you fucking pleb go watch more anime.
>>282329106i only remember his seething at Sanemi and maybe the bathing with Inosuke
>>282329066weak? his reincarnation gave her five kids
>>282329066>weak spermThey had 5 kids
>>282329171That would be impressive with any other woman, but its Mitsuri we are talking about. I will only recognize him as a man once he reaches at least ten brats.
>>282329066I dont like kny but I like that the series has so many straight ships and the series isnt afraid to acknowledge it
>>282300525>>282300497>>282299080>>282297687Based kimetsu bros.Btw I've been trying to invite genuine people who enjoy anime and manga to a group I made, since there's too much trolling on this site.
