Infinity Castle is officially the most successful anime movie in history
>>282437879And everyone will forget it in a week.
>>282437935just like everything you enjoy
>>282437935but its still in threatersand the other two movies are coming out
I think I'm going to see it a second time
>>282437935Just like everything else about KnY.
ok
>>282437935You confuse "spam the board" with longevity. The generation that's going full nostalgia for this it's still growing.
>>282437879it's also the most successful japanese movie ever (basically all the top 20 is 19 anime and one Live action)
>>282437935cope
>>282438577KNY has no longevity. It can only "exist" when the anime is on air and when the anime is gone, it's forgotten.
>>282437935FPBP!
>>282437935It's funny how One Piece the best selling manga in history and Demon Slayer with record breaking movies seem to have no influence on any other manga. And One Piece is like what, almost 30 years old? And Demon Slayer manga ended 5 years ago?Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball, YYH and JoJos created new ways of writing shonen. OP and Demon Slayer didn't. They just made their authors rich I guess.
>>282437935Yeah it will be dead and forgotten this time for sure.
>>282438915Just give it a week. People will forget it about. It's like Avatar, looks pretty, makes a lot of money but not much else to say.
>>282438825Total cope lots of mangaka cite one piece as their favorite manga How many years after Naruto and bleach came out did their "successors" take to come out? How long has it been since kimetsu's anime started?Also mashle is hugely inspired by kny for just one example
>>282437935FPBPJaps and normalfags unironically just decided to throw infinite money at this tasteless white bread shit as a fashion statement. It never truly did anything to the industry nor popular culture./thread
>>282438978There's far more to say about kny than Naruto and Boku no hero combined. That's what happens when you have good writing. Post hand + passport btw
>>282438915>2 more weeksKek it's 2019 all over again.
>>282437879100m in The US alone is crazy
>>282439072>How many years after Naruto and bleach came out did their "successors" take to come out?Naruto ended in 2014 and Bleach in 2016. BNHA started in 2014, Black Clover in 2015, Demon Slayer in 2016 and JJK in 2018. So Naruto only took 1 year to inspire after it ended and Bleach didn't take long after. One Piece is almost 30 and it inspired nothing.>Also mashle is hugely inspired by kny for just one exampleMashle flopped and nobody cares about it.
>>282439131Naruto when it ran had people theory crafting on YouTube and even to this day, people are still talking about Naruto, even if it's mainly just people seething about it as usual. No one talks about Demon Slayer besides "it looks nice and makes a lot of money.">That's what happens when you have good animation.FTFY.
>>282439271>end dateKEKRefugeebrain
>>282439369>no theorycrafting 5 years after kny had a conclusive endingkek I wonder why! Post hand + passport
>>282439394Still inspired and One Piece didn't 30 years.>>282439432>KnY is a big nothingburger that can't get people to talk about it besides nice animation and moneyJJK unironically has more staying power potential. Fans are still theory crafting after the manga ended.
>>282437879GODmetsu won again (obviously).
>>282437879You understand you don't get any of that right?
>>282438825>OP didn'tThis is Fairy Tail erasure
>>282439503>Redditors coming up with excuses for jjk gigantic plot holes= theory crafting Lol
>>282439271Their limp endings a decade after they stopped being relevant aren't important
>>282437935you people said the same thing when season one came out
>>282439771That's still more to talk about than KnY besides "it looks nice and made a lot of money".>>282439811Naruto is still the most watched anime in the world 10 years after the anime ended. Bleach is also on Tv Tokyo's top 5 anime franchises and that was with no new anime until the Quincy war.
>>282437935>5 years since, it still broke its own records.Any day now.
>>282437935fpbpmost forgettable shonen
>>282437879>5 year later>the only one manage to kill kimetsu is kimetsu itself.The flashy animation reason doesn't even work anymore since it ended there were a few shonen with flashy colorful animation JJK,CSM ( season 1 have shit direction, it animation league was above your average action shonen *cough* Sakamoto Days *cough*),Freien.>inb4 Covid, ufotable>CovidJJK literally come right after kimetsu and even got promoted as " The next Kimetsu" by both shueisa and mappa and it never archived the same heights as kimetsu.>ufotableUfotable do not mean your franchise will automatically become success. Remember god eater, a flop that even Ufotable don't want to remember, or Tales of Zestiria the X, do normalfags even know that anime was also done by ufotable.
Yep, still not gonna watch it
>>282440424>forgettable Any day now
>53people streamed it on netflix when they were locked indoors and the coof-19 traumatized everyonenobody watches kny for muh writing they watch it cause it's a comfort anime for normalfags>>282440593yup same
i'll never understand why people seethe so hard about kimetsu no yaiba
>>282439649Oh but I do get something, the endless source of entertainment over others seething at its success.
>>282437879If you learn what "money" is designed to do shit like that stops being impressive.
>>282440636>inspired nothing>only exists when anime is airingDefinitely forgettable.>>282440593>>282440673If you're gonna watch something else, save your money for the new CSM movie. October is around the corner.
>>282437879Dammit, i'm tired of Koreans and Chinese seething at us for something that we didn't even do
>>282440735It makes them wonder why their favorite series isn't the one breaking all records if Kimetsu no Yaiba is so inferior.
>>282437935Hi Jeremy.
>>282437935Trvthnvke
>>282437879I like how anime movies is become a thing again. Makoto Shitkai and melodrama destroyed it for a while.
>>282440673>CovidJJK literally have the same advantage and even got promoted as "the nest kimetsu" by both the publisher and the studio.
>>282440998*Are
>>282437935Based. I'll continue to ignore KnY and support actual good anime.
>>282437879why can't anon just be happy that an anime movie is doing so well?
>>282440735KNY breaks the rules by doing TOO well. People can accept success but KNYs success is beyond standard success, it stands as a bit of an anomaly with no clear answer for its success and that pisses people off.
>>282437879And part 2 will be even bigger and will continue to make /a/ seethe.
>>282437935fbfb strikes again
Now is time to kill superflop
>>282437935FPBP.I don't care about 'Normalfag: The Anime'.

>>282440735They said everyone will forget about it in a week after mugen train, now it's doing even better and the next one will be even bigger due to new fans. They are mad no one cares about their anime
>>282441782>>282441605It's insane how much of a jinx Jeremy is. Like I think IF can surpass MT and that's it but some how he had to drag Superman and F4 into this and now it look like both of them gonna get BTFO. Like if somehow Kimetsu won an oscar because Jeremy said that it won't I would laugh my ass off because not even pele was this bad when he was alive.
>>282437879>Still has not had a billion dollar film>1/3rd of Inside Out 2's gross and 1/5th of Ne Zha 2's grossSeriously why has anime failed so hard to get any mainstream appeal? Same with manga where One Piece is the best selling manga ever at about 550 million copies all-time but Donald Duck has certified sales of 250 million copies per year.
>>282437935It really makes me wonder how much the next movie will make, since Aniplex marketed it as the final battle, with posters worldwide headlining "The Final Battle Ignites" and no Part 1 tag anywhere in global campaigns like in Japan where it's titled "Chapter 1." I bet the Western audiences and a huge chunk of Asia who isn't Japan just walked in thinking they were getting the actual finale when the movie is just set up for the next. It's like Marvel releasing Avengers Infinity War but marketing it as Endgame to maximize profits.
>>282442311>Seriously why has anime failed so hard to get any mainstream appeal?anime fans being garbage human beingspedosschool setting is like 90% of the animessexualitation of womanmore pedos99% of the animes being adscomedy most of the time is badheavy japanese settingpedos

Why would you retards want anime to become more mainstream?
>>282437935Maybe if it was 20 years ago this would mean something, but nowadays you can say the same about 99.99% of entertainment media these days.

>>282442311Nigga China has 1 billion people. Ne Zha 2 only made 60m outside of china
>>282443120>still coping with fucking disney and nezhaA 2d, anime movie is going to pull 600 million international.With a 20 million budget.And pulling 100 million in america as a fucking foreign movie.No matter how you cope, it's a league of its own.
>>282443120I'm honestly surprised your African household can afford Wi-Fi
>>282443239>A 2d, anime movie is going to pull 600 million international.So literally nothing to Hollywood That Superman Legacy movie made 600 million and it was underperformingChina still made 2 billion with a budget of 80 million so it made a bigger ROI and without needing America
>>282443326Lol you're mindbroken.
>>282443326>That Superman Legacy movie made 600 million and it was underperformingSo now you AGREE it underperformed?And it underperformed, jeremy, because it needed 500 million to break even, you massive retard.hell, it's #7 movie of the year (kimetsu is officially in the top ten, of a perfectly normal movie year with all blockbusters actually coming out)Kimetsu is right now the #2 foreign movie in usa too, as a fucking 2d anime movie, but you don't count that kind of hurdles.Seems like, in the end, it stood up to hollywood blockbusters pretty well, and made more money in profit than almost every movie released this year.
>>282443326>so it made a bigger ROI and without needing AmericaActually... no?2 billion/80 million = 25 ROI555 million/20 million = 27 ROIAnd it's still in cinemas, without needing to have the government force people to go watch it.
>>282443368Demon Slayer>Gross 555 million>Budget 20 million>ROI: 27xNezha 2>Gross: 2.229 billion>Budget 80 million >ROI: 27.8xNezha 2 not only made 4x the box office, it actually had a better ROI and did it without a big global release. China carried it aloneNezha 2 and Battle at Lake Changjin don't need westerners while Demon Slayer depends on Japan running movies forever + Asia except China going Spirit Bomb + Sony marketing push, and still can't break 600 million
>>282443461I do not know who you're talking to and I don't give a shitAll I say is that Superman Legacy movie underperformed by Hollywood termsSo 500 million and even 600 million is nothing, maybe to anime is a big deal but not Hollywood
>>282443239That's not impressive at all considering branding. Your Name had 1/4th of that budget, with 0 branding/franchise recognition and it did 405M worldwide.
>>282439271>One Piece inspired nothingLmao even
Don't bother replying to jeremy. With his 1-inch penis, I imagine he's a pariah in his African family. You have my permission to bully him into suicide.
>>282437935>And everyone will forget it in a week.Not unless it gets broken up into TV episodes
>>282443631Will do sir
>>282443556But... wasn't the country of origin carrying the movie super bad or something? You said so like a week ago.>and still can't break 600 millionWait until its theatric run is over? It did like 200 million this past week and a half.> while Demon Slayer depends on Japan running movies forever + Asia except China going Spirit Bomb THE SHEER COPE.>>282443606>and it did 405M worldwide.Almost 300 million in japan alone and almost the rest of it in SEA, yes.
>>282437935This. Rengoku won.
>>282437935true>>282438777trips confirm
>>282443556Japan running movies forever is quite ridiculous. The Slam Dunk movie was in theaters for over 6 months if I remember correctly.
>>282437879miyazakibros?
>>282437935>said this cope when Mugen train started>said it wouldn't even come close to its box office>already did a 10% more>confirmed most beloved and worth paying for anime internationally
>>282437879It's gonna be topped again in the future. The only advantage it had is that it was released years later than other blockbuster titles. Imagine if those classic Ghibli movies were made decades later in the internet age with all the social media available. It would've sold bigger.
>>282443742Yeah, but kimetsu has barely been two months in cinemas in japan.One month in SEA.And a week everywhere else.It's not like it's being super extended or something, it's a real blockbuster in japan so it keeps making money.
>>282443046>There is literally no downsideI can think of plenty>more censorship>more catering to "western standards">less everything that makes anime anime>attracting fags like 282442492 as target audience
>>282437935>NOOO WHY ARENT PEOPLE WATCHING THE SLOW BURN SLICE OF LIFE ANIME SET IN A WORLD WHERE THERE ARE ONLY GIRLS ANS NO MEN (ASIDE FROM ME) WHO SPEND THEIR DAYS DOING DRY WALL!?!?

>>282443690Take it up with your boyfriend I don't give a shit about your beefs Nezha 2 made bigger ROI and from China alone. Didn't need the West to make nearly 3 billion and don't need to run year round. Budget wss 80 million too so pretty cheap
>>282437879Will Jeremy rope himself?
>>282443867>boyfriendStop pretending, jimbo.>Didn't need the West to make nearly 3 billion and don't need to run year roundno, in fact, it just needed a massive campaign in china where companies where forced to go watch it.Stop coping jeremy, no one gives a shit about nezha.
>>282443900If he does then he needs to make sure to put his passport in the pic
So what's with this massive explosion in mainsteam popularity for anime? My theory is that in 2004 or whatever there weren't a lot of people in their 30s watching anime. But the kids who watched anime back then are now adults with disposable income and that's why stuff like Demon Slayer and JJK is doing hundreds of million at the box office whereas a Bleach movie or whatever popular shounen 20 years ago would do like $10 million at best because the audience was largely still 13 year olds.
>>282443847This movie sucked by the way. The plot was aimless and schizophrenic, really showcasing that Miyazaki in losing his damn mind
>>282443847>the movie that didn't have any marketing>still made nearly $300m from Miyazaki's name aloneIf Ghibli marketed that movie from hell to back, it would break records too.
>>282443925The explosion is because western entertainment has been shit for a good while and Disney managed to somehow alienate their male fan base to such a degree that they're suffering business consequences.
>>282443925Corona, and kimetsu is CAPTAIN CORONA and the most mainstream anime (because it actually is watched by families)
>>282443948Now explain how marketing would have helped that movie, which sold to the market it would have sold in the first place.In japan, it sold because of miyazaki, marketing or not.In the west, it's oh ghibli movie!It wouldn't have made more money.
>>282443930What most people don't want to understand is that there is a big difference between art and a commercial product. Ghibli movies are the worst of both.
>>282442492tourist kind of post
>>282443795Sure if you are only watching Shonenshit
>>282443867Ne Zha 2 is the biggest achieving in animation, no one is disputing that. Wasn't it also confirmed that it was going to be a trilogy? I could definitely see the 3rd becoming the highest-grossing film of all time. That wouldn't surprise me to be honest.
The funniest thing is that SAO fags became galaxy brained the very second they realized the problem was Asuna and making everything about the girls and not the story, setting, and action.
>>282443918>no, in fact, it just needed a massive campaign in china where companies where forced to go watch it.CopeIf China could force people to see movies then every movie released there would make billions but they don't and shit tons of foreign imports flop hard. Nezha 2 made money because people actually wanted to see it>no one gives a shit about nezha.CopeNezha 2 is still the best selling movie of this year and best selling animated movie. Bigger than Inside Out 2 and way bigger than Demon SlayerYou can brag about 500 million but Nezha 2 did 4x that in 1 country
Imagine letting a black twink egg you on like this. Jeremy must've sprayed some perfume on his bussy
>>282437879FUCKING NORMIES ARRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>282437879i didn't go to watch it because it seems we got the dubbed version here. or at least, i saw zach aguilar in the cast, so i didn't go
>>282443556ROI means nothingDisney could have made the Stitch film cost 5 million toonboom shit and it would still make a billion because it is StitchIt is all about how much it makes period
>>282444051Yeah the studio who makes the movie confirmed they're workikg on a third movieTook 5 years to make so I see it coming 2030It will easily surpass Titanic
>>282437879Without China and with a weak yen it's impressive
>>282444246>Disney could have made the Stitch film cost 5 million toonboom shit and it would still make a billion because it is StitchReally nigga? Why didn't they just make it cost 1 million then? If the final box office is always going to be over a billion no matter what, then why do they spend any money?
>>282444154>would make billions but they don't and shit tons of foreign imports flop hard.But most of their national movies do super well and the foreign imports bomb because they are foreign.>You can brag about 500 million but Nezha 2 did 4x that in 1 countryI will, thank you, kimetsu did amazingly well and outdid every single one of your predictions.You can start masturbating to imaginary DB movies now.
Lmao prove to us that you're not a Third-worlder by posting your hand, jeremiah.
>>282437935weak*
>>282437935KNYfags BTFOEveryone will move onto Bleach next
>>282443606>0 branding/franchise recognitionthe branding is shinkai
>>282444427You mean by overstaying its welcome and nobody giving a fuck about the recent seasons?
>>282444427>all its new and shiny anime season that were only produced because of kimetsu did nothing for it>kubo is a hack
>>282437879It's going to surpass Crounching Tiger,Hidden Dragon as the highest grossing foreign film in the US (128m)
>>282444481>>282444513BRAAAAAAP
>>282444516Will it? another 25 million IS pretty steep (not like sony won't go and push for it if they must)
Phew! I just came in Jeremy's boy pussy and let me tell you: Black indeed doesn't crack. AMA
While it's true that it is impressive, it still need to do more to create some ripple in the current movie industry. BUT you can't rule out the fact it managed to attracted this much attention with little marketing, not being an original stand a lone film, AND it pretty much secured the success of the continuing triolgy. /a/ tend to forget, Anime in general lack a lot of structural backbone and financial support, but accessibility and global cultural acceptance are something that other international industry can't have. No matter how much it get censored or pushed back by political force, there will always be another force that try to equalize it. People will consume anime no matter the risk and there is always a market for anime. Hollywood and Disney can not copy anime format, the cultural gap is too big, they have tried grooming mangaka into drawing for capeshit, and it's not working. With the current momentum DS is going, the next movies will only raise the record higher.
>>282444439That's so low IQ. Garden of Words did 100M yen before that. That's 0 branding impact.
>>282444554>online polls>western>never firstI'm so, so sorry.
>>282444595>Garden of Words did 100M yen before that.More than every prior CoMix film
>>282444574k, b, c
>>282444582Kimetsu can't really do more.It's shown there's a huge fanbase, that are really devoted and that it can be a success even for families despite the massive amount of deaths and somewhat adult content (gore, mentions of suicide).CSM's movie will be interesting.
>>282444516Except, no. Because if you adjust its Crouching Tiger's US box office for inflation, the scale of its success becomes even more impressive. That $128M from 2000 becomes $224M in 2025 money.
>>282444726Shut up J
>>282444726>adjust its Crouching Tiger's US box office for inflation, Nobody does that, it's pointless and americans are so poor nowadays a movie ticket is worth far more.At the end of the day, kimetsu is about to stand on top of>usa's foreign box office
>>282444554Are you telling me that Blue box performed better than Bleach?
>>282437879Should be able to pass Mission Impossible and Superman next week
>likeable characters >good music>fluid animation >easy to follow storyis that really all it takes?
>>282444841Who knows, maybe it actually beats how to train your dragon too, those movies are all so close.
>>282442311That's why I say the ONLY anime franchise that can break into one billion and maybe go beyond that. The ONE anime franchise that can break every Japanese record in history... is Dragon Ball Z. As a full-on remake as a film series, with the best of the best Toei has to offer from Wano, Daima and Broly.Pokémon films peaked in the 90s because of the Pokémania, but Pokémon movies are glorified commercials now.Demon Slayer is big in Asia, but mostly niche in the West. Dragon Ball is a different beast, it's embedded into global pop culture. Latin America treats Goku like a folk hero, Europe (especially France, Spain) grew up on DBZ on TV and North America still sees DBZ as their anime gateway. No other anime franchise has that level of generational penetration across continents.Demon Slayer arcs are all formulaic melodrama built for TV. DBZ arcs (Saiyan, Frieza, Cell, Buu) are literally structured like Hollywood blockbusters: escalating stakes, iconic villains, transformations, giant battles, payoffs. Each arc could be a self-contained 2.5-hour movie.Also, Demon Slayer relies mostly on anime fans + Japan. DBZ cuts across Millennials and Gen Xers who grew up with DBZ on TV, Gen Z who know Goku through memes, games, Fortnite, and YouTube. We even have an entire generation discovering it through Super and Daima.Dragon Ball is the ONLY anime with the bones to play in the billion-dollar sandbox like MCU. But Japan is shit tier when it comes to business.
>>282444890>but Pokémon movies are glorified commercials now.Always were.
>>282444890>Demon Slayer is big in Asia, but mostly niche in the West.>#1 anime movie almost everywhere....>100 million in usa aloneYeah, keep coping. If pokemon in the 90s couldn't make it, and that had every fucking kid on earth take their parents to the cinema, DB isn't it.
>>282444669So if it makes a single cent more than the previous, that means that it had impact. Thanks, really helpful there.>Director X makes film 1, it makes 1 dollar>Director X makes film 2, it makes 2 dollars>Director X makes film 3, it makes 400M dollarsYou can clearly see the impact.
>>282437879
>>282444934>>100 million in usa aloneMade all of its money on OW then made lesser each day. And if Demon Slayer could make that money in a dead month of September with zero competition while Super Hero could make almost $40M in America competing against Top Gun and Dr. Strange, then a Z remake can easily make double the money.
>>282441063/a/ hates anime
>>282437879>>282437935>most generic battle shounen since dragon ball becomes a success worldwide>/a/, contrarian central of the Internet, eternally seethesTeenagers and college students go in and out of the theaters cosplaying as Demon Slayer characters. I have never seen something like this before.Take note: being different doesn't mean being good. Most of the time, generic is good and enough.
He is mindbroken again
>>282444841>lilo & stitchlmao I thought everyone hate this movie. It really goes by saying that youtube reviewers/critics have zero effect on the main stream influences. No matter how shitty the movies are, dumping a lot of money in marketing does the trick.
>>282437879Tanjiros wife screaming in rage was hot
>>282445112People HATE this movie, but it's an easy thing to take your kids too.Trust me, kids only like stitch from the movie and they prefer the animated version.
>>282444797>Nobody does that, it's pointlessNah. Box OfficeMojo, The Numbers, and industry analysts like Scott Mendelson and Erik Davis REGULARLY adjust box office for inflation. When Gone With the Wind is called the highest-grossing movie of all time, it's only because of inflation adjustment. Unadjusted, it's nowhere near the top.>and americans are so poor nowadays a movie ticket is worth far more.Nice contradiction. If tickets are worth far more, then comparing raw box office without adjustment is even less fair. Higher prices don't mean higher turnout. Inflation adjusted figures help gauge actual audience size and cultural reach.>>282444797>kimetsu is about to stand on top of usa's foreign box officeFactually wrong. It may beat the $128M of Crouching Tiger, but that's not what highest-grossing means in any meaningful historical context so Demon Slayer clears $225M in the US alone, it did not surpass Crouching Tiger.
>>282439072Favorite doesn't mean inspiring.Naruto & Bleach inspired lots of artists when they were still running.Same goes for YYH and JoJo.
>>282437935basedfuck those shounenshitters
>>282438825>One Piece has no influence on any other mangaHorseshit, it's had more influence on the 'dripfeed the reader/audience details about the big picture and present lurid ideas to them while leaving big gaps, and allow the audience to speculate on the future of the story to drive more fan attention to the series' school of writing in nipland than any of the other big boys, particularly because it's traditional peers were less 'big picture' focused. Basically, how people discuss the plot of OP in recent times is very finely tuned to what fans of series meant for young adults do, which is speculate about the plot and the implications of the trivia or, rather non-plot important details about characters and/or the setting) that's given to the audience.
>>282444950why are you demented
>>282445112Critics were nothing in the face of parents taking their children to watch it blind, the sheer merchandise power Stich has is easily one of the best Disney has to offer. The hated plot differences over the original animation are nothing compared to Stitch still appearing all over the screen to remind parents to buy the latest toy.
>>282437935This. I know I'm not "everyone", but I personally cannot remember the name of a single anime movie I'd have watched that's newer than like Paprika. Not even saying they're all shit, might've even been good ones, but they sure haven't been memorable enough in my books to be remembered by name.
>everyone will forget it in a week >yet it makes the headlines every week and everyone gets mad about it And how hard is it to ignore it and pretend everyone will forget about it?
>>282437879I don't get it, where are they getting the material for all this? Didn't the manga end before the anime even started? How the fuck have they not finished adapting it still?t. Never gave a shit about KnY
>>282445811The anime started during the final arc of the manga which, indeed, finished years ago.It's still being adapted, the final arc in three movies.
>>282439207I wonder if chainsaw man the "western loving anime" can surpass Demon slayer in north america with the new movie
>>282445848No, because their fanbases overlap but kimetsu has wider appeal.
>>282445811The anime started in 2019, the manga had entered its final arc, ending in 2020. Manga is 23 volumes long, after Season 1 covered three major arcs, Season 2 onwards only covered one arc per 12 episodes cour hence one arc per year in order to ensure quality.
LMAOOO I though Mugen Train was a "fluke" huh what happened?
Doma is best boy, so I don't actually mind.
>>282445848Not a chance, Chainsaw Man has a more specific audience, everyone and their grandmother can go watch the anime with kind dude who fights demons to cure his sister. Only certain people will go watch the anime with the horny dude who had a shitty life and wants to bang.
>>282445940>made all of its money only after the summer blockbusters left
>>282445986So that's the current narrative, you stopped coping about the Conjuring.
>>282445848Chainsaw man has the chuuni audience and most normal anime fans aren't like that
>>282445986This is the biggest cope I've read so far
>>282445986>made all of its money when [theaters were available to show a 150 minute movie several times] yes.
>>282445848CSM is no longer FOTM, that'd be Dandadan now.
>>282446040He also said >something something him something something peele uga booga
>>282446040Conjuring is also a piece of shit, but it actually made more money in September while Demon Slayer was hiding and waiting until September while accumulating money from Asia first. Didn't want direct competition Superman and the T-Rex.
>>282445944This was Akaza's movie though
>>282446222>was hiding
>>282446222>it actually made more money in SeptemberNot outside its home country (which kimetsu is doing right now)> Didn't want direct competition Superman and the T-Rex.It did, in japan, where you so FERVENTLY said it would get destroyed by them.
I miss him so much.
>>282437879>Infinity Castle is officially the most successful anime movie in historyBased, being a kny chad is awesome, MHA could NEVER in a million years, Jeremy lost
>>282437935I literally never see anyone talk about it and whenever they do bring it up, it's only whenever there's a new season. There's not much to talk about it and honestly, if I didn't hear about it on /a/, I'd move on with my life as usual. It's just not very memorable to me.
>>282446600>it's only whenever there's a new seasonYou... do realize that's normal, right?
>>282446600I'm literally talking to a goth baddie about Demon Slayer and Chainsawman. It's a win-win timeline with these movies
>>282446298>Not outside its home countryWrong. Conjuring earned $248M overseas, in addition to $151M domestic. That's 62% of its total gross from non-domestic markets. Demon Slayer earned $228M in Japan (its home market) and $225M outside it. That's roughly 59% international. Almost identical in international balance, but Conjuring did it faster and without a frontloaded rollout.>It did, in japan, where you so FERVENTLY said it would get destroyed by them.Demon Slayer did hold its own in Japan... In its home turf. Doesn't mean Jurassic World underperformed, it means Toho scheduled Demon Slayer to drop first in Japan then slowly in Asia around August, smartly. The studio moved the release to September specifically to avoid direct combat with Superman and Jurassic World instead of simulcasting. Just strategic distribution 101. Demon Slayer had two full months of clear runway only competing in its home turf, just like a Marvel movie dodging Star Wars.Anyway, Conjuring was a soulless piece of shit cash-in that dominated the global September box office without relying on a domestic mega-boost or release manipulation. $400M, the real winner of September box office war.
>>282437879Jeremy was wrong about everything haha
>>282437879i'm still not going to watch it
>>282444582If Japan were a more ambitious country what would happen is the top 2-3 studios would offer triple salaries to anyone good and they'd rake the top 10% of Japanese animators to make one billion dollar tentpole every year
kny is my favorite series because it's popular and makes big numbersthe only thing I can say about my favorite series is that is popular and makes big numbers, and how much that I hate some fag called jeremy
>>282446951*and they'd still be like an 80% discount on western animation
>>282446951>to make one billion dollar tentpole every yearDo you actually think the WORLD cares about animation on that level?
>>282437879Akaza sells tickets

>>282446339He won in the end.
Jimmy kny is now a Billion dollar movie franchise with only two movies.
Holy shit!it's going to make more than superman
>>282447137Doesn't matter for me. My favorite franchise still makes $1 billion dollars every single year.Can you say the same about yours? Plus, you're not the one making that money anyway, lmao.
>>282447224But you don't like DB, or anime, you said so yourself.It's sad you need to hide behind DB.
Domination
>>282447224And why do you only care about DBZ only when it comes to money??? Lmaooo loser
>>282447049who you quoting faggot ?
>>282447027Can you give us an example of something you believe has artistic merit since clearly you're the expert?
>>282437879Why tho. The movie was just flashy lights aka sword fights and a whole fucking hour of akasa flashback. The manga was so much better.Now what I'm really looking forward is for the koku fight and the whole tsugikuni backstory I want see my boy yoriichi
>chinese CGI movie makes 2 billion $>anime shonenshit on the way to a billion $ on 20 million budget>biggest streaming movie of the year is some Kpop pseudo animeLMAO Hollywood is so fucked it's actually incredible.All american soft power evaporated.

>>282448190Poor, poor jeremy.
>>282448210It will do less, because in the end the characters present are less popular.For box office, unless something weird happens, it'll be 3>1>2
>>282445848>chensokeks are this delusional
>>282442311Pirating manga and anime is a institution by this point and the protocols of the elders of kyoto dictate that either you either tolerate it, losing vast sums of revenue in exchange for the possibility that overseas merch will contribute to your bottom line, or you get very defensive over your IP, which is unpopular both domestically and overseas. Genuinely, the last big anime film with a big budget release where all possible revenue was 'captured' in a way that a tech literate nerd couldn't just download a copy and/or get bootlegs worth watching was probably the first Pokemon movie, while the big domestic releases of the usual suspects (Doremon and Detective Conan, ect) are huge in Japan with limited appeal elsewhere.
>>282448190It's truly the Avatar of anime isn't itLooks pretty, voice acting is on point but beneath all that pretty sakuga is... nothingIt's such an artistically empty work
>>282448190>>282448312Oh yeah and I saw this video early this evening. Pretty good watch and explains why Demon Slayer is also irrelevant IMOhttps://youtu.be/dXcwm6FwhWY
>>282448256I mean, CSM movie is probably still gonna make 30M in the US. That'd make it a top 10 anime movie over there. It ain't touching Demon Slayer though. No anime will top that. Gojo vs Sukuna movie might come close, but I honestly doubt it.
Man, these threads are shit.
>>282448447JJK feels even more forgotten than KnY.
>>282448218>Everyone who criticizes Demon Slayer is Jeremy Stop being so defensive, anon. No work of art is unanimous. Deal with it, otherwise you'll only be proving their point.
>>282448190Im pretty sure all Fandom discussion takes place on TikTok now

>>282448510Only think people cared about was gojo and he jobbed super hard.
>>282437935My absolute fucking jogger.

>>282448190You don't interact with other people so yeah it figures that for you no one talks about it
>>282438825>Demon Slayer with record breaking movies seem to have no influence on any other mangaI directly blame Demon Slayer for Kagurabachi's existence. I refuse to engage with either.
Dumping season 3 refs

>>282445555We'll see a classic anime soon, but it won't come from Japan.

>>282449293If we're lucky the sales will keep dying and it'll get axed
>>282437879It's a 6/10 movie but we're in an era where capeshit slop make numbers so not surprising
>>282449314Do, it's good.
>>282449314its trash
>>282449236who?
>>282449252>what if negroes and ape-hop, but as animals!I doubt there is any kid who genuinely wants to watch this
>>282449340>where capeshit slop make numbers... when was the last time you checked a box office?
>>282449340it was 1/10>>282449347its trash

>>282449363It's got more soul than Kimetsu slop
>>282437879do we have a date for the next movie? I watched the movie last night and I was hoping for an announcement once the credits rolled but got nothing except that last one image withh all the characters
>>282449350You people call everything trash
>>282449294>Kocuckshitbo
It's a good, well written series that didn't take two decades to finish. What's not to like about it? The themes it explores are also very straightforward (honesty, friendship, loss, sacrifice, etc) and the author never tries to deconstruct or be edgy with her writing. It's the manga equivalent of The Three Musketeers or The Count of Monte Cristo, no wonder it's successful. You niggers should be happy to witness this, it's an once in a lifetime event, no anime will ever be this successful, ever again.
>>282449418Seething ESLs tend to
>>282449446Giyuu was a well written edgy character. One of the few i can stand
>>282449446But it's not [favorite shounen from the 90s-2000s] so it's trash
>>282449470He's not even edgy, he's just a traumatized and inarticulate dude.
>>282437935Agreed.All the little kids watching Demid Slayer will move on to SpongeBob SquarePants while the adults will all be CSM.This is the ''peak'' of Infinity Flashback btw.
>>282449417No, no announcements on that yet. Aniplex makes reels for the series every first quarter of each year, giving out dates for future releases so by March 2026 they will say something about it.
The soundtrack was really good
>>282448812Then this only applies to Demon Slayer. In other works that became popular, discussions were always quite common.
>>282449526Yeah, that part was disappointing but pretty much my only complaint about the movieReally not sure how that made into the final cut.
>>282448917>>282449293Kagurabachi is Bleach + Naruto.
>>282449236>>282449620Terrible Just a terrible designI imagine that was the point for the character, though
>>282449214I can confirm there are discussions on TikTok
>>282449526The entire movie is like that. Literally every other scene is these power power moments
>>282449703Really isnt
>>282449530oh ok, I just hope that for the next movie they will actually have a global premiere/release, its nice that we got the movie 2 months after it aired on japan but releasing the movie on the same day or weekend as in japan would be perfect, maybe the success of the movie will convince them to do that
>>282437935Unironically I agree. In the time between the last season and this new movie, the series was practically forgotten (at least in the West). Demon Slayer seems to only exist while it's airing. That's why no one cared much about the manga before the anime started.
>>282449646It's amazing, Naruto and Bleach ended 10 years ago and in that span of time they kept inspiringMeanwhile KnY ended 5 years ago and it didn't inspire anything, truly the One Piece of its generation
>>282449236Imagine bumping into this shit at night
>>282449729cope
>>282449446csmfags are forever malding that their show keeps on flopping
>>282449748It baffles me that in current fucking year we still have to wait months for anime movies
>>282438825one piece definitely had a larger cultural impact overall at this point though. and i would argue one piece needs to end first to be evaluated on that scale.for demon slayer it's too early.i think generally battle shounen is currently on a slump though
>>282449782Cope with a highly successful movie that made lots of merch of my favorite character? Okay
>>282449754>the series was practically forgotten (at least in the West).Right...it was so forgotten it flopped at the box office
>>282449795Name a single successful series inspired by OP so far.
>>282449446But the Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo is actually goodThis one is just an inferior love child between Inuyasha and Saint SeiyaAnd I might as well just watch Inuyasha and Saint Seiya instead
>>282449446Western TV for all its fault still has way better writing.>Watch Frieren after all the weeb and media hype>It's literally just a cute girl doing cute things show>Exact same copy-paste character archetypes in all modern slice of life anime>Medieval Fantasy setting is completely inconsequential. Half the shit they do makes no sense for the setting and would actually fit more if the show was just set in modern Tokyo. Like the constant visiting of desert cafes.>Once again an anime is hyped up to kingdom come, is a completely copy-paste job, with the exact same characters we've seen thousands of times before, same events and dialogue and plots we've seen a thousand times before, with a slightly interesting hook that isn't truly taken advantage of because the rest of the writing is so generic.How in fuck does anime get hyped up well beyond it's actual quality? Even mainstream sites were acting like Frieren came from the heavens itself and it's just another generic as fuck copy-paste SoL anime with Isekai elements.For all the faults of Western TV, especially how fucking pozzed it's become, if you compare the writing in Western shows to anime, even the most mediocre Western TV writing shits over pretty much everything in Weebshit.Why does anime get this magic pass that Western television and animation don't? It seems that anime gets that exact same boost that Nintendo games do, where a 4/10 Nintendo game becomes a 8/10 simply in every review simply because Nintendo is on the name.Like seriously, is there a comedy anime that even comes 1/100th as funny and as well written as the Simpsons or South Park? Fantasy anime that comes close to even GoT or HoD at it's worst? Dramas that comes 1/1000th as good as The Wire, Breaking Bad, Rome etc.Yet people act like the absolute most boring as fuck, 2/10 anime that is literally just the same characters, plots, word for word writing we've seen a 1000 times before, is somehow better than anything the West puts out.

>>282450008An old anime from the 80sIf you've seen it, you'd see how much of KnY is just traced from Saint Seiya via Bleach
>>282449809Read it again. >Demon Slayer seems to only exist while it's airing.The show is like the 4th of July. People go because they want to see fireworks. But it's not something they care enough about to make it a part of their lives.
>>282450097I know it, I'm just not seeing the connection
oh my fucking god he actually went to /v/

>>282449937>crying about western crap on an anime boardlmao
>>282437879Know nothing about this but wanted to say that pic reminds me of the Demifiend from SMT Nocturne.
>>282450128>Saori gets kidnapped and put on a death contracption that will kill her in [number] hours>The Saints must beat the [Number] [Warrior Synonym] of [Greek Deity]>SADOMASOCHISM HAPPENS>Seiya faces the main bad guy, gets his shit beaten and just keeps losing and taking inhuman amounts of damage until the universe basically decides that anyone who can take that much shit and stand deserves to be thrown a bone>DEUS EX MACHINA>The Saints win. Saori lives. They pretty much fucking murder everyone elseRinse and repeat three or four times. That's the whole plot of Saint Seiya. Every arc after Sanctuary is just a repetition of the Twelve Houses. Demon Slayer is the same. It has the same rinse and repeat plot and every arc is a repetition of Mugen Train.>The Demon Slayers must beat the [Number] [Demon]>Get thrashed around for awhile>Flashback to the demon/pillar's tragic backstory as they're about to die>DEUS EX MACHINA>Minimal character development tied to the demon/pillar's suffering>Move on to the next demonAlso the Hashira = Gotei 13 = Gold Saints
>>282449937>Western TV for all its fault still has way better writing.Bull fucking shit, I'm watching alien earth right now, every episode is literally worse than the last, also you can not fucking say GoT season 8 was even the fraction of the quality of frieren.

>>282450163>>282450201I work in comics so I interact with lots of anime fans all the time. Demon Slayer is mostly mentioned when it's being shown on TV/theaters or to reinforce the number of volumes sold. Slam Dunk on the other hand is unironically quite present especially because it is a reference when it comes to sports comics. Demon Slayer is only a reference when it comes to box office.
>>282437879How? Who is exactly at fault here? Is the masses fault for being too retarded and have such shit taste? Is it anime´s fault for not trying hard enough an make something good? Or is it western media´s fault for not providing decent alternatives?

Kimetsu's popularity always brings out this tidal wave of people who seem to be physically incapable of understanding why. >"It's too simple">"It's mid">"There's nothing but flashbacks">"Carried by the animation"And yet these movies are demolishing the box office. They can't square that in their heads. Genuinely feels like watching mental illness.
>dude nobody talks about demon slayer
>>282437879>breathing techniques are just pointless spam now instead of being used for specific purposes>the solution to every fight was speed instead of whatever each breathing had going on before and in spite of the one character whose breathing style is specifically about speed>mc figures out the enemy's deal by remembering a conversation he had specifically about this kind of thing and then remembers that his dad had shown him an insane skill to specifically counter this kind of thing, which he somehow never thought about training before in his training arc, despite also searching for the secrets of his dad's breathing styleThis movie was the most boring, shoddily written one I've seen in a while, hard-carried by the animation alone and even that started to wear off when I realized it be mainly about fighting ONE guy, who they fought before in the other one, so it was all just dragged out spamming the same attacks over and over and over again without any sense.

>>282437935Even where I live no one really talks about KnY. I'm actually very surprised by all the fuzz when I don't hear much about it when I'm outside or even inside the internet. If I didn't see this thread, I wouldn't have remembered it either so I have to be reminded.
>>282447475Kek that has never been true after Moot left and the DBZ threads were allowed to go stage 4.

>>282444554Nostalgia bias
>>282450929What point are you even trying to make? That they are wrong because it makes a lot of money? Because you just counted up criticisms, denied none of them, brought up another stat and somehow turned that into them not understanding and that's then somehow mental illness in your book. However, as you pointed out, they understand and state exactly why it makes so much money:>It's simple>Mild enough for the widest possible demographic>Constant flashbacks used to circumvent low-attention span>Carried by the animation
>>282451747BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

>>282447334I liked the movie, but yeah, this time, despite all those effects ans hype, the manga is superior.I hope they won't do the fight against Kokushibou any worse than the basketball dude's fight (Akaza's).
>>282448190But enough about Avatarslop, Jeremy.
>>282452083>>Inse-BRAAAAAAP
>>282449526I'm not a CSMfag, but I also thought that overly flashy scene in the movie looked weird and somewhat lazy.Speaking about Chainsoy Boy, I miss Ryu Nakayama, bros...
>>282449849THE SIGMA
>>282450227>complaint that several shounen series have exactly the same shounen tropes typical for the shounen demographic anime>seetheAnd what's your point? That Demon Slayer is a shounen, so basically it's Dragon Ball, Bleach, Naruto, Saint Seiya, InuYasha, FMA, [add any other popular shounen anime], since all shounens are the same?
>>282437935Brütal, although somewhat true. And I'm saying it as someone who had a lot of fun while watching this movie, kek.
>>282451864Now divide by episode count

>>282443164Not really. He was on a similar level. He just fought seriously for the whole time. Rengoku had it less intense when his fight started, but still, his overall performance was better than Giyu's.
>>282452083This is a natural way of behaving for Bleachfags.
>>282437879Hasn't beat disney tough, 2D Lion king (1994) is still king >Only japanese animationthey had that title since 2020 so this isnt big news
>>2824524502d lion king has many re-releases
>>282452473so does mugen train so, c o p e
>>282445112People online hate this movie. People in real life don't give a fuck and just like seeing Stitch on screen
Anime production is becoming more and more quality oriented, and I'm wondering if bigger hit like this will affect Kadokawa's “quantity over quality” strategy. They have decent LN sources, but many of them get terrible anime adaptations or don't get a 2nd season even though getting popular. Kadokawa alone producing over 100 shows a year, human resources are severely stretched thin.
>>282452473Except if you just talk about the original 1994 movie, then it made over $700 million dollars and if you adjust that to 2025 dollars, that's $1.6 billion dollars today. So Lion King is forever the undisputed king of 2D animation
>>282437935I don't understand how this is supposed to be some epic burn when Kimetsu has been insanely popular for the last six years. Is this just one guy samefagging over and over again?
>>282437935Shittetsu no shitsu. Forever a SHIT bucket with a hole.Fuck shounentards.
>>282449937>Western TV for all its fault still has way better writing.lol, lmao evenMaybe 20 years ago but modern western media is so fucking awful it's one of the big reason's anime(specific ones at least) have blown up in the west.
>>282451834Your being illiterate isn't my problem hombre
>>282452758>is this just one guy samefaggingYup. he'll just keep going no matter how retarded and esl the posts are to make it seem like "everyone" hates demon slayer. case in point>>282452759
>>282437935not the 'gotcha' you think it is when it's making tens of millions, bro. if that means being forgotten in a week, that's fine.
>>282452895They said the same thing about Mugen Train kek. This series just makes people so bitter about its success for some reason
>>282452759fuck these two sluts
>>282449937Westoids are getting desperate. They FEAR the action anime that caters to men.
>>282452701Forgot to add, if you also adjust inflation, Spirited Away looks FAR MORE impressive. Spirited Away made $396M in 2001 and if we inflation adjust that into 2025 money, it's $675M.
>>282437935Fpbp
>>282453028The problem with that movie is that it's fucking ugly
>all jeremy can do to cope with kny's success is endlessly samefag a shitpost and double down on his delusionshas an anime's success mindbroke anyone this hard before?
>>282449937You can stop pretending that modern Western TV is still good. Everything is either subversive or spiteful of its own audience.
Who the fuck is Jeremy? Do Kimetsufags really think that only one person doesn't like their favorite anime?
>>282452353Avatar 3 and Zootopia 2 will knock down demon slayer
>>282453113incoming samefag damage control in 3... 2... 1...
I don't understand why this anime being so successful makes so many people mad.
That's all I got
>>282437935FPBP (First Post, Best Post).
>>282453224Thank you, anon.
>>282452353Ne zha 2 won
This thread really makes me wish the IP counter was back
>>282453215Autists live in their own bubble and hate to be proven wrong
>>282453215Because it does exactly what millions of other mediocre anime have already done. It's like if Taylor Swift became a musical phenomenon. Oh wait.
>>282453452Why are you so obsessed with Taylor Swift, Jeremy?
Now that anime is officially popular and mainstream, I fully expect all you contrarians to leave this place and never return.
>>282453215Because most people who watch anime are invested in slow paced seasonal romcom and slice of life series that never hope to approach the numbers of this movie.That's 40 years of rom com and slice of life getting annihilated
>>282437935Longstanding classics that will be discussed for decades after their ending:>SNK>HXH>Cowboy Bebop>NGE>One Piece>Bleach>Naruto>Yu Yu Hakusho>Berserk>Dragon Ball (OG and Z)>Monster>Death Note>Code Geass>CSMFads that fade from the public consciousness after they end because they lack staying power:>Jujutsu Kaisen>My Hero Academia>KnY>Black Clover>Dr Stone>Promised Neverland
>>282453624Demon Slayer literally ended 5 years ago and it's more talked about than ever. Also>MonsterNobody gives a damn about that series. People only mention in when they want to appear like cultured anime enthusiasts.>"Yeah man I don't like that shallow popular stuff! I only like smart and mature anime/manga for smart and mature people such as myself, like Monster, Vagabond, Berserk, Welcome to NHK, Serial Experiments Lain, and Evangelion!"
>>282453723>Demon Slayer literally ended 5 years ago and it's more talked about than ever.People only care about the anime thoughbeit>Nobody gives a damn about that series.But enough about KnY
>longstanding classics>naruto>bleach>one piss>chainshart man
Just give up already, you people larp like you are true fans of anime but I guarantee none of you have watched anything from before adult swim.None of you can identify homages from 70's and 80's shows or name VA's from before 2010.
>>282453845no dude you don't understand i'm a real anime expert because I like frieren and bocchi and sword art online and hate demon slayer
>>282453549>I hate contrarians, unpopular things, niche hobbies, degenerates, weirdos and everyone who doesn't comform to the mainstream way of thinking>mmm I guess 4chan was made for me
>>282453624>Longstanding classics that will be discussed for decades after their ending:>CSMBased
So that's the level of butthurt that Kimetsu's success causes huh. Funny to see.
>>282437935COPIUM OVERDOSE
>>282437935Why this post has so many (you)s?
>>282453910>I "love" anime>but I hate any anime or manga that's popular and seethe endlessly at series I don't think deserve that success
>>282453954One guy samefagging over and over again. He's been mindbroken by KnY for 6 years now and the newest movie's success is breaking him.
>>282437935I'll rewatch it a 2nd time. kysgod i hate you /a/ brats

Shonenfags always get the last laugh. We RUN this board
>>282437935damn op just got btfo
samefagging this obvious gives me secondhand embarrassment
>>282440735the story arc for this movie is the peak of the series but the whole thing is mid at besteverything until the train + train included is just garbagestill better than csm and jjk though so there's that at least
>>282454336i like how all the criticisms for this series are just the most braindead zoomer takes possible
>Demid Slayer Kimidtsu no Snoozeba: Infinity Flashback
>>282453958Yes, poor kimetsufags are the real anime fans and just want enjoy and discuss their series, that's why every demon slayer thread is about muh sales
>>282454460>t. projecting schizo
>>282454436fri slept throughout almost the whole movie and only woke up when i hears some screamingthat was the most shit i saw and i want my back
>>282454460Most things to talk about were already discussed to death, right now it's mostly just >That movie adaptation was really good
>>282454613Oh no, he hit me with the zoomers >n-no u
>>282454639Not like it had much to talk about in the first place
>>282454460The manga ended years ago. It's hard to discuss exactly the same things over and over again. Many former anime only fans already picked up the manga, and those who didn't, casually discuss stuff here and there. It's bizarre to expect complex discussions on a daily basis at this point. That's why Kimetsu threads about this movie are dominated by people praising it as an anime adaptation, or mentioning box office results.
>>282454675>still projecting>"muh zoomer boogeyman"
>>282454698There was, if you weren't a recent tourist you would know.
>>282453272Of course it did.Hollywood is falling apart
>>282437935>jeremy still seethinglife is good
>>282454732What's the point of trying to rewrite history when an archive exists?Kny threads were barren before the anime dropped
>>282454785I was there so it feels weird when you try to gaslight me but I went and check and I was a normal amount for a manga from an unknown creator, nothing crazy but not something like vast majority of shounen jump manga that don't even get dump threads here.
>>282455036>>143105666>one of the first weekly dump threads>almost dead and already filled with salesfaggotryLmao
>>282445017it's second weekend is still bigger than most anime's first weekend
>>282451061And I've seen people talk about Avatar, just in a theater, like people remembering watching the 1st one a decade ago or their kids remembering the Navi tree for the sequel, surely because they saw the 1st movie re-released. Just not from posting a lot of memes online, the latter is not necessarily a badge of honor. I still saw people cosplayin to watch Infinity Castle on weekend 2 when anime movies are supposed to be dying. Yet IC is still collecting millies.
>>282455306Moving the goalpost I see.
>>282451061> KnY is carried by sakugaAnd it’s cgi which is 90% of the series
So is anyone going to make an image of the passport incident?
>>282450581He's also having a meltdown on /tv/
>>282449340Demon Slayer is beating every capeslop film this year
>>282455921And not just capeslop, even F1 with Brad Pitt which surprised by beating Superman is being defeated by KnY too
>>282453766>People only care about the anime thoughbeitif they did then why has it sold almost 10 million copies per volume?
>>282456023See, it doesn't count if it doesn't tickle your discussion quorum feelings, no matter if people who read manga then watch anime or even then watch movies. Imagine fucking that for a movie that broke past a billion dollars in theaters and could get a China release.
