Capeshit bros.....A middle age japanese mother best us
>>282625584605m
>>282625584>forgotten in a week as always
>>282625677>t-this time for sure!
>>282625584movie was fine but really fucking dragged during the last bits with Akaza
>>282625677Any day now!
>>282625584Damn, it actually has the chance to either match or beat Superman.
Why do you fags care so much about sales? Are you shareholders or is that just what you wanna be when you grow up?
>>282625677>2 more weeks since 2020.
>>282625584Nope, Avengers Endgame did 2.7 billions in box office.
>>282625677Pretty much, yeah. I only ever hear about this series when it's about how much money it makes and nothing else.
>>282625677Hi Jeremy.
>>282626238Damn, the copium has sent you back 6 years into the past.
>>282625584No capeshit in top10 would be ideal situation. Avatar 3 definitely will push 1 capeshit out of the list.
>>282626202I'm actually an producer that currently try to create the next Kimetsu so I'm looking for suggestions to make that happen. Give me some ideas because seem like despite our best efforts we haven't got shit after 5 years.
>>282625677That's Demon Slayer in a nutshell. Makes a lot of money but otherwise very forgettable.
>>282626324When Endgame was released people were expecting it to surpass Avatar.
>>282625677FPBPAll salesfags deserve death
>>282625584This is the first kino I've seen were a husbando plays nurse and carries his waifu to the bathroom. Must be the female writer influence. Any others?
>>282625584Did it beat superman yet?
>>282625584Release in China soon, can't imagine the meltdown when it reaches 1 billion
>>282626786No, but it is closing in.
Saw the movie and it was really good but isnt top 5 kind of pathetic? From my understanding every movie released this year has been dogshit.
>>282626786Any day now, even if it gets only a pittance from China.>>282626411I don't mind Superman being there but Thunderbolts beating Fantastic Four and Falcap America would have made my day.
>>282626411>another ten million and superman is toastBY FAR the funniest result of all this shitposting, beating superman.
>>282625584You faggots have these threads here too? Not enough that you spam /tv/ huh esl
>>282625677its funny how theres always never a thread for this series unless its about sales>>282627076i felt like i have seen these threads before
What do normalfags see in this shit? Literally one of the most generic shonen I've ever watched.
>>282625584>no cultural impact
>>282626202I don't like watching flashy movies alone in a theater because nobody else wants to pay to watch it. And no I wouldn't invite friends or neighbors home to watch it even if I had a big TV set and they were interested, I'd have to clean afterwards.
>>282625584Enjoy the vultures deciding upon Japanese media even more than before. Anime will become an abomination in 10 years.
>>282626202It's an asian shill trying to imply "the west" is losing cultural relevance. it's all they care about for some reason. They hate that people only care about America.
>>282627162Because the series is over.
>>282627076keep crying
>>282625677SPBP
>>282627192For me, it's just laughing at you, jimbo.Imagine shilling superman so hard as the kimetsu killer only to lose to it.
>>282627229cope
>>282627229Are you lost?
So…?
>>282627229funnily enough this movie also made all of its cash in asia but in the west it dropped over 70% in its second weekend or something which means that it failed to breakout outside the fan bubble so it didn't really leave an impactbut yeah asians have an inferiority complex
>>282627327No I've actually been on this site since 2006. You're the newfag shill here brown boy
>>282625677/thread
>>282627433Thread / any day now for sure
>>282627225in the short term crunchyroll is going to be insufferable about inserting itself into every demon slayer thing it possibly can as all their third tier employees try to maneuver to get real jobs in hollywoodfor example there are so many cheap AI shill articles about getting that hollywood actor to play a small role in the dub that less than half of the fanbase even watches
>>282627371>funnily enough this movie also made all of its cash in asiaJeremy.... it didn't make even half of its money in asia.Internationally, not counting country of origin, it did most of its money in the west and it's less than 10 million away from becoming the most successful foreign movie in USA.>it dropped over 70% Just like the "super successful" conjuring you mean?
>>282627371>but yeah asians have an inferiority complexFucking tell me about it
>>282627358I remember someone sayin the Mugen Train movie only did as well as it did because of currency and the pandemic vacating all possible competition. Who's laughing now.>>282627252This. This board memory holes everythin at the speed of light. And I've still seen enough discussion about the series in these threads.
>>282627358>NFL kicking it is the nuts.Second funniest cope I've seen in a while. Only lost to Dragon ball remade timeline.
>>282625584Was there any doubt?
>>282625677It truly is the Avatar of anime.https://youtu.be/dXcwm6FwhWY?si=LL2oi6jhWn0t-jjr
> Gunn pedo will get an aneurism when it passes Supermangood
>>282627584People bringing up HIM for the NFL argument would make it funnier, but THAT is a movie that was actually ignored even during opening weekend, even /tv/ doesn't talk about it.
The BIG screen for the BIG man!
>>282627719Yeah, kimetsu's second weekend eclipsed it, funnily enough.Just how it made 16 million in mexico, far above any DB movie.
>>282627371Tick tock it’s eyeing to beat The crouching tiger, hidden dragon >>282627622There’s more impact for Kny as you will see people wearing the characters haori, more than avatar during its “peak”.
>>282627225Nothing is changing until another anime touches Demon slayer box office. Anime remains popular but not mainstream aside from the super successful demon slayer
>>282625677>Makes a lot of money>Zero cultural impact, everyone just collectively forgot that it exists next week>Not a single good meme in the Anglosphere about it exist except for one where MC looks in disgust at the thunder crybabyEven JJK and the fan brainrot left a bigger impact
>>282627850>still pushing the meme shitJeremy... just because you got super btfo'd you don't need to keep doing this.It is a fact people loved this series, it grew in the west since it ended and it has an average of 2 million/volume outside of japan.
>>282627781Now adjust inflation for Crouching Tiger and turn it into 2025 dollar
>>282627622Didnt people get depressed and want to off themselves because Pandora wasnt real?
>>282627914Why does everyone keep mentioning this Jeremy guy?
>>282627938>do [thing nobody does because it's worthless]Yeah man, nothing will ever top gone with the wind why bother ever mentioning avatar.COPE
>>282627850Rengoku pretty much owns screaming umai now.
>>282627957It's a 70 hour a week schizophrenic shitposter for the last 8-9 years that haunts KnY threads
>>282627693Have you seen his movies? He'll probably take it as a challenge, the Supergirl movie will supposedly feature Lobo which is one of the edgiest DC caracters ever. I figure Gunn is more of a Chainsaw Man than Demon Slayer type of guy.
>>282627994>nothing will ever top gone with the windYupJust like Crouching Tiger is the top dog
Clean your mattress
>>282625677Spbp. Shonenshitters really need a containment board.
>>282627938>inflating USD >real adjustmentUnironically you lost.
>>282628165Cope
>>282626724>This is the first kino I've seen were a husbando plays nurse and carries his waifu to the bathroom. Must be the female writer influenceThere is also the theory in JP fandom that Wani was a nurse/healthcare worker because of how well done tragic akaza as a caretaker is and how he talks about sick people apologizing
>>282626724Its rare to see and was adorable. No wonder she wanted to put a ring on him immediately. Her dad caught a diamond husband for her.
>>282627850What bigger JJK impact? All I see online is weird discussions about its weird power system from people way serious about following the series, and I've struggled to even make a coomer folder for it. KnY has ten times the waifus alone. It's not some kind of newborn JJBA.
>>282628238As tragic as Akaza's backstory is, I cant ever forgive him for taking best boy from us.
>>282625677Deadass. I honestly completely forgot about it until OP made this thread.
>>282628301When I went to movie, the people I've seen cosplay as shinobu was insane despite the screen time she have in the manga and anime . Funnily enough she was the first one to die so it was quite an experience.
>>282625584>Kimetsu mangaka>"her">a parentWhen will you stop making up shit out of your ass?
>>282628235>using AI Colored me surprised.
>>282627938>Using snyderbot's copeWhat the fuck Jeremy I thought you love superman(2025) directed by jame guns.
>>282628654From Google btw
>>282628283The actual RARE thing is to see a woman proposing to a man. You don’t see that every day in a movie.
>>282628717>AI overviewYou lost, next weekend will become the biggest international movie in US.
>>282628724It's funny because she legit went to her dad, he then told hakuji and THEN she proposed.
>>282628235Some people wouldn't even count Crouching Tiger, thinking Infinity Castle getting a simultaneous dubbed release would disqualify the comparison, but it doesn't matter now. And even then Croucin Tier gets into the Gone with the Wind dilemma, why care to bring up shit from before you were born or into fandoms? Even Crouching Tiger gets into this, Jet Li was the lead in that 25 years ago and degenerated into being a secondary cast in Expendables.
>>282627371>White people dominates cinema, television, animation, music, politics and sports>Black people dominates sports and music>Hispanics dominates sports and music tooCan you blame Asians for having an inferiority complex? They're always far behind everyone else
>>282625584This is the first step to killing anime by the way.Just remember to be louder and more annoying than ever.
>>282625584Great now there will be more push back agasint anime then there already is because they fucked with Hollywood.
>>282628768Cope some more
When’s that yume list coming out, will Douma sneak into top 10? I don’t think Akaza will show because women don’t like male wife material and just abuser/rapists.
>>282628946>>282628781Sorry, nobody cares about adjusted for inflation unless you need to cope.
>>282628946Making the headlines next week!
>>282625677This. I don't care about generic shounen #84821, they're a dime a dozen.>>282628919It's not going to kill anything. There's always that one generic shounen that normalfags will lock on and astroturf, doesn't mean anime itself will die anytime soon. Happened with Naruto, happened with One Piece, this is no exception.
>>282628567Hers was the only actual cosplay I saw other than t-shirts, and she got done dirty. I assume Douma will bite it hard in the next movies.
>>282628998Cope more trannyBox office specialists always adjust for inflationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films

>>282627192>>282627850>No cultural impact>Translation: I don't see threads on /a/Meanwhile every single normalfag, even my fucking 70 YO dad, know this shit and don't get me started on anime conventions.
>>282625584Lost to chicken jockey.
Nobody has still been able to explain why this trash is so popular. In a few years there will be academic studies about it as a case of mass hysteria.
I was wondering why there were sudden seethe threads again.
>>282628391If there's anything Akaza's backstory confirmed it was that Rengoku won
>>282629087>first chart in that page is normal movies not adjusted for inflation>Box office specialistsWell, you DEFINITELY aren't one, so you DEFINITELY shouldn't care.
>>282629163And the funniest part is that he is using Wikipedia.
>>282629146If anyone could explain it they'd be busy making the next cultural phenomenon.
>>282628024Lobo is a satire of edgy, or was 30 years ago when anyone gave a shit anyway. If you've ever read the Berserk pilot oneshot where Guts was a comedic character that's basically Lobo.
>>282625677Not even in a week, it was already forgotten before this thread.
>>282629093You expect the losers on this board to venture outside of it?
Capeshit has fallen.Next modern phenomenon to beat: Five Nights at Freddy's 2, coming soon.
>>282625584The amount of cosplay of this anime i saw in my shithole. I didn't even know that many kny fans
>>282629163Cope some moreEven Avengers got an inflation boost
>>282629444Again>first chart on the page is the normal oneCOPE JEREMY, COPEIt also did an extra six million over DB in mexico.
>>282629340I even saw it on weekend 2, again for Shinobu. Girls want to be her.
>>282629093>>282629314I'm convinced these people talking about cosplayers are just straight up lying. I've never seen this happen.
>>282629490I saw 5 cosplayers in my session alone.
>>282629490I saw a guy cosplay as Joker doing a photoshoot atop some stairs before going to watch the first movie. Some people are just that motivated and have places available to buy stuff.
>>282629490Greatly depends on where you live if people are brave enough to show up in cosplay.
>>282629474No one cares about your cope loserhttps://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/highest-box-office-film-gross-inflation-adjustedWhen people say Gone With the Wind is the best selling movie they mean Gone With the Wind is the best selling movie thanks to inflation adjustmentCrouching Tiger >>>>> Infinity FlashbackA single Marvel movie also outgrossed the entire Japanese box office with inflation adjusted
>>282625584no one cares about sales. its still a shit anime same how cod has lots of sales but is still trash
YOUR NEW GOD
>>282629780>He says: coping lmaoo
>>282625677I don't think I know a single one of my normalfag friends who are all jocks, musicians and the most casual normalfags you could ever meet know or care about DS. Even when I mention anime, they're completely clueless about it and can only mention Naruto and maybe One Piece because of that Netflix TV show.
>>282628724>>282628771What's funny is how another kino, Suzume, had its story start because a teenage girl started stalking a guy older than her.
>>282629923It's definitely beating HTTYD even if it takes it another month.>it WON'T do well in USA and do worse than MT
>>282625584>kimetsu beat marveljust like it did in comic sales.
>>282629917Cope more inflation is kinghttps://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0610/the-actual-top-grossing-us-movies
>>282629923What the fuck is this??I've not been into the whole sales things with the movie but I can see why Jeremy was convinced it wouldn't beat Mugen Train since it seemed to slump before it suddenly shot up?
>>282630012I'm not jeremy but I was 100% sure it was going to make less than Mugen Train on the "Empire Strikes Back made less than Star Wars" basis
>>282630127That's the proper international release in the west.And really, the only reason it was doing lower than MT in general was because the yen went to shit, on a yen basis, it was readily outpacing it.
>>282630127wasn't released in the US or Europe yet before that
>>282630062>beat MarvelEndgame made 2.7 billion so no. And if you also apply inflation and conver that 2019 money into 2025 money it exceeds 3 billion.
>>282630131Probably is going to happen with the 2nd movie but shoot up with the 3rd one like return of the king
>>282630062Kek
>>282630127pre west vs post west anon
>>282630182I think it's just going to keep going up unless they get greedy and try to only sell it on crunchyroll. It just constantly makes new fans when a new crop of people binge it on Netflix/Hulu
>>282630182Second movie has the issue of not featuring the main cast barring inosuke.Koku is koku, but he's not a draw like akaza.
>>282630231Koku fight is so ridiculously well done it makes stars of everyone in it. I don't think it's gonna slow down.
>>282627192It's funny that it's the only anime in history that despite being a sales phenomenon, has not sparked any artistic discussion or inspired anything since the manga ended back in 2020.
>>282630231Word of mouth will hype Koku up. Also his ties to Yorrichi.
>>282625584It's ironic, considering how long capeshing was integrated in American culture before they decided to cash out with it
>>282630231If that was an issue then people would have dropped the manga back then, it had the most popular character that was Mui at that time.
>>282629892Tanjiro is basically the Nightwing of the East>Loses his family tragically>Gets adopted by a hero or hero community stronger than himself>Gains more abilities and resources along the way>Remains righteous enough to replace Batman for a while, unlike more creepy characters like Jason Todd and Cassandra Cain, up to having a face to face conversation with Superman
The rise of normalfag anime, the polar opposite of otaku.
>>282625584You know, this isn't that good. I'm not talking about sales cause those are fantastic. I'm talking about what it means for the mediumWe are currently in the middle of the Enshittification process, we may see anime rot like hollywood
>>282630324Serves to show you that money doesn't buy influence. Everyone has taken inspiration from Berserk, Devilman, Violence Jack and Ashita no Joe despite not having the same sales numbers as KNY or Detective Conan. I think CSM too is inspiring a new generation.
>>282630535>We are currently in the middle of the Enshittification process, we may see anime rot like hollywoodLiterally only a matter of time. Globalization and all it entails is an unstoppable force. Brace yourselves.
>>282630556>I think CSM too is inspiring a new generationWhat kind of generation? From the trailer alone I thought the new movie looked creepier than KnY and will have more limited appeal.
>>282630658Reddit zoomers have always been its main fanbase. Including the ones infesting /a/.
>>282630110Keep coping till you die
>>282630231People are going to be in for a rude awakening when that film has double the flashback length.
>>282629474Cope more loserWhen people say Gone With the Wind is the GOAT they use inflationCrouching Tiger is the king of US and Avengers got a boost to 3 billion. Is there an anime that has even hit 1 billion? No and it'll never happen
>>282630801The usual shonen chimpanzees that complain about things that aren't fighting will like those flashbacks because they're hyping up a numba wan strongest
>>282630658Mass appeal doesn't mean influence. You can be niche and still be popular, and you can be popular and not inspire anything. CSM is already inspiring a new generation of mangaka.
>>282625677its derivative but also inoffensive so it has normie appeal
>>282630899*You can be niche and still be influential
KnY influenced a schizo's mental breakdown
>>282627192Demon Slayer is today's kids Dragon Ball, Tanjiro is the new Goku deal with it
>>282630828Hollywood right now doesn't even want billion dollar movies on the regular, give or take the odd Avatar or Avengers movie release. Or a movie like Inside Out 2 that makes more than a billion due to a decade's worth of nostalgia, I recommend you to not bet on eating a movie disc betting against the current KnY movie trilogy.
>>282625584Just got back from watching it. Shit's unbearably long.
>>282631018Dragon Ball influenced an entire generation and still continues to be a cultural household name (it recently got a Minecraft collab announced so expect more zoomers to get into Dragon Ball). Besides being a blockbuster, what is Demon Slayer's legacy?
>>282625677>as always>implying it has been forgotten multiple timeshuh?
>>282625584Carried by brown people.
>>282631176It's a cope /a/ uses when Kimetsu breaks a new record
>>282630945I'm not seeing Knife Man or Hammer Man series breaking the bank right now, probably because freaking Wolverine and Thor have cornered those markets already.
>>282631263>/a/>implying
>>282631254Kimetsu is for everyone.
>>282631114There is an actual issue going on of people not realizing how much stuff like Naruto influenced and how much more stuff dragon ball did on top of that.
>>282631176KNY is one of those series that only exists when the anime is on air and when the anime is off the air, it's gone from everyone's consciousness. It has no staying power
>>282630991KnY is very about losing your mind from demons.
has he already coped that gotouge will not see money from the movie?
>>282631322You keep pushing that narrative yet the fanbase grew, FUNNY.
>>282631605He did. Then he decided to ignore the shitton of money wani gets from merch.

>>282631667>only gets a measly 10% royaltiesLuckily, Oda makes more than that AND he also actually makes money from not just one anime but two anime plus every single One Piece movie. It is a very good thing that the author makes no money from the anime or the movies, but it's not a good thing that Sony and Shueisha are the ones getting it because Sony and Shueisha suck. Would have preferred that Ufotable got every single dollar.
>>282631878>only gets a measly 10% royaltiesSo, several millions and rich enough to live several lifetimes over, without needing to sell his ass for an expired passport.
>>282626097Yeah, lots of flashbacks. The action was nice though.
>>282631907Still not seeing any of that money while Oda actually does and that's pretty metal, because Shueisha bends to his whims like The Godfather. But also not a based thing because Sony and Shueisha are getting the money. Ufotable should get it.I still make more money than your whole family btw. Talk nicely, and I might donate some of my money to you.

>>282632029Stop having diabetes American. >>282632034Except it didn't, because Endgame is still over 2 billion and Aquaman is over $1 billion. If you adjust inflation, Endgame's 2 billion becomes 3 billion and Aquaman becomes nearly 2 billion.Capeshit is bottom of the barrel trash, but battle shounen isn't any better and capeshit still makes more than anime on a good day.
>>282625677frfr no cap tell unc whos boss
>>282631878you know, reducing yourself to gloat over the author making hundreds of millions instead of billions is... definitely a choice. like, seriously, stop for a second to think over how pathetic it is that that is your best "victory"
>>282628567>>282629052Why is she even so popular? Is it because the only other strong female looks like a slut?
>>282632111>Except it didn't, because Endgame is still over 2 billion and Aquaman is over $1 billionAnd those two eras are fully over, acknowledged by their own separate studios. Marvel even has Phases numbered to distinguish their eras, have you ever heard of them, or recognize how different they are among them? Are you this Jeremy laughingstock I've heard about ? Because your arguments certainly sound like coming from an obsessed laughingstock.>capeshit still makes more than anime on a good daySay that to the overseas current box office of a movie that did more than capeshit, and why are you defending capeshit in fuckin /a/ you fucking poozer?
>>282632519She's single-handedly carried by her design, voice acting and her being in a pretty anime. That's about it. In the actual story, she's a complete jobber and literally does nothing the whole story besides dying, her one and only accomplishment.Just like how Gojo and Sung Jin Woo are carried by their designs and aura farming, except they're not big jobbers.
>>282630324>artistic discussion
>>282632519The Cutie Honey girl-sideburns
>>282632632Sometimes in movies you just need to die well. See how well Melissa Barrera's character died in Abigail, where she shared the screen with Abigail who was technically already dead.
>>282632632Shinobu is popular because she's a female self insert of (raaaww i'm angry but i have to fake smile) also Shinobu has some sort of chemistry with Giyuu who is popular with women and there is Douma who falls in love with her
>>282629093Cultural impact doesn't mean people know about it.
>>282631322What series doesnt do this? No themed generals where people talk about anything but the series dont count.
>>282627192Literally saved Japan's economy
>>282627192KnY baby boom incoming
>>282633345the most cancerous discord generals with four lonely schizos spamming the same images at their """friends""" for the thousandth time.
>>282633515That's what the Pissfags said and see where they're at. No impactSame with KnY. No impactFunnily enough, I see more and more people take inspiration from Fujimoto. Even Kagurabachi is a child of Fujimoto
>>282633584Pissfags said Japs would reproduce thanks to OP?
>>282632528Why are you bragging about barely scraping past underperforming capeshit when even Marvel's mid-tier slop (Guardians 3, Wakanda Forever) wipes the floor with anime at its best? The top of the superhero genre is pulling 800 to 1 on a good day. Just last year, we had a Marvel movie make over 1 billion. Demon Slayer's ceiling is 600 something in an empty month of September with almost zero competition. Anime is not competing in the same league. Even in the West, from a numbers perspective, it dropped -75% in its second weekend, which means that it didn't make a lot of noise outside the core fanbase.If it makes you feel better, I hate capeshit too. That doesn't mean my disdain isn't mutual with battle shounen. I hate 95% of battle shounen and only like the rare 5%. I think they're creatively bankrupt, crude and juvenile.
>>282625677It's just like SNK. You see fans go apeshit over it but once the dust has settled there's not much to say about it and it feels like it didn't happen
>>282633812Retard, with China Demon Slayer would past 800m, also these marvel movies got a silmultaneous release. Making 120m in the US alone is definitely making noise
>>282626287Probably because you're a newfag who wasn't around while the manga was still running and now your only exposure to it are articles on how relevant it still is.
>>282634136>ChinaYou keep saying that when it's already debunked. I even asked a Chinese person about it and he said it was nothing more but a rumor and it doesn't even have the. That Weibo account the 'announcement' came from publishes nothing but fake news. If it ever came to China, you'd see it on official sites like Maoyan along with other upcoming movies like that Tron movie on October. That Weibo account doesn't even have the Dragon Seal (龙标) which is the official censorship approval mark issued by the China Film Administration. It appears before every movie that screens legally in Chinese theaters.>Making 120m in the US alone is definitely making noiseAll of the money it made came from the opening and first week which is where anime makes the most of its money. After that, it fell off by over -75%. So it didn't really leave a lot of noise outside of the core fanbase which is mainly 13-14 year old kids.
>>282634500keep lying
>>282634500Retard its breaking records in Taiwan, Macau,Hong Kong. Chinese people are fucking aware of that movie, i am on weibo. But keep coping
>>282634500Also Demon slayer is performing above anime, no other has held that well. Retard
>>282634500>So it didn't really leave a lot of noise outside of the core fanbase which is mainly 13-14 year old kids.You mean an extremely profitable audience studios love? An anime movie making 130 million in USA is important, no matter how much you try to downplay it.It breaking records for anime everywhere is the cherry on top.
>>282633812>Demon Slayer's ceiling is 600 something in an empty month of September with almost zero competitionHow fast you change your tune.>Anime is not competing in the same leagueAnd yet, it wiped the floor with 2 summer blockbusters.
>>282634665Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong are not mainland China. I'm also on Weibo, and I know that account is nothing but fake news because it doesn't carry the official Dragon Seal. Go to Maoyan and see for yourself, they listed all the upcoming movies and Demon Slayer isn't there. It's not coming to China.https://www.maoyan.com/films?showType=2>>282634708By anime standards, yeah. By Hollywood standards, it's nothing but fan noise to them. Again, this movie dropped by -75% in its second week, even more severe than that Conjuring finale that dropped by -69%. It failed to breakout into the mainstream outside of the core fans.
kimetsu is enjoying the success One Piece SHOULD have had if 4kids hadn't sabotaged it's initial introduction into the west.
>>282633219You are defining it as "I don't see threads on /a/"
>>282632528Why... does she have her breasts chest like that?
>>282635016No, that's the argument you imagined in your head.
>>282633812Not him but even if that's true capeshit has ZERO (0) cultural impact, hated by everyone, detested by everyone, and is held as a prime example of dying media. Meanwhile all western teens watch and love Anime.
>>282634990It would have had to compete with peak Narutoism and Death Note. It stands a better chance now.
>>282635077Because she's a harlot
>>282634784>And yet, it wiped the floor with 2 summer blockbusters.Yeah, after those two summer blockbusters made their run across the summer. There's a reason why Aniplex didn't do a global simulcast and started to release it at first in Japan, then around Asia and finally elsewhere. They don't want direct competition that can hinder their earnings because anime movies are fragile. From a business standpoint, it's very smart to avoid the summer heavyweights until they're gone. But it also just shows they're opportunistic cowards who hates competition. I'd probably have done the same if I were them.

>>282631696are you really putting csm anime as a good example????lmao that horrible rotorscope piece of shit kill it self
My wife wasn't in the new movie so I think mugen train is better. The new movie was still good though
>>282636615It's amazing that was the same girl that told Obanai he should have died in his backstory
Is this really worth following? Saw mugen train first. Tried the anime and it was meh. Just jumping from encounter to encounter
>>282626202>>282627229It's actually just crossposters from /v/, like when those threads about KnY outselling comics worldwide were being spammed.Most of /a/ is just /v/ crossposters populating all the dogshit generals that flood this place. Obviously OP saw this on discord and NEEDED to make a thread about it RIGHT AWAY because he (like everyone else in this thread) doesn't actually watch anime, he reads a few manga that he spams endlessly in place of personality, populates a cancerous general, and mostly just shitposts here whenever he gets banned from /v/.
>>282636789I've seen the opinion Mugen Train is better as a movie than Infinity Castle because IC is... wait for it... one battle after another.
>>282625584Marvel has been shit ever since endgame.
>>282635094What is cultural impact then?
>>282636816Salesfaggotry isn't /v/ specific. /tv/ does it, /mu/ does it, even boards for dying markets like /co/ do it too. Choose another boogeyman.
>>282637184>All these other boards do it in threads clearly occupied by crosspostersAh-huh.You realize that making your OP a discord screencap of a twitter link kind of outs the whole game here, right?
>>282637172I digress slightly, they made their own Infinity Castle arc within Thunderbolts.
>>282637176From Google: Cultural impact refers to the significant changes or influences an event, movement, or phenomenon has on a society's collective beliefs, values, practices, and social structures, often reshaping norms and identities over time
>>282634895Still broken record talking about Conjuring, which is like 10 movies deep in normies fandom's worth over a decade or so includin spinoffs?Not even Deadline talks about the movie that much anymore. And people complain when IC makes another $100 million or breaks another record and try to shame people reporting on such when it's just news, lol stupid.

I'm trying to watch this movie in 4DX but the lone 4DX screening has been sold out EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND (fri - sun) so far. This is crazy. Maybe I can catch it next weekend....
>>282638413Just watch it in whatever current format now before they cave to the Mouse and give the best screens to the Avatar 2 re-release and/or the Rock biopic, or the Tron movie the following weekend, where they seem to have spent the budget of 10 KnY movies.
>>282638138What movie is this? Looks graphic for a Pixar.

>>282634990It was over for One Piece from the moment it was taken over by Toei. It became instantly big in Japan because they have a strong manga culture, but anywhere else in the world it would have been difficult for the anime to become massively popular with such poor production values. If One Piece had been taken over by Production I.G, it would have had a better chance. Picrel was made in 1998 and looks better than anything Toei did before Wano.
>>282637003At least in the first few episodes it's been >Flight demon>Eat and get a bath>Crow says to go here>Immediately start fighting new demonAnime feels like it's leaving out entire character parts or something.
>>282625584>Decided to read Kimetsu's anime announcement thread back in 2018 out of curiosity. >Ufo can only adapt fate>It will be a hit but can't be MHA killer>It will lose to The Promised Neverland.Knowing how things turned out It's pretty funny how when ever people try to predicted what going to happen to kimetsu the opposite happened instead. On another note, did anyone know what the fuck happen with TPN anime, why the anime cut out like 1/3 content from the manga?
>>282639339MAH did its best best you can only do enough for so long.
>>282639339cause the mango sharted itself so hard they thought they might as well try to do their own thing with the anime
>>282639339COVID + the writer shit the bed in the manga.
>>282628238Wani is just just good with backstories in general but you can tell which ones she really put a lot of effort into and which ones are just there for the sake of having a backstory.
>>282632519>looks like a slutDon't be so rude, she probably saved several people distracting some demons with those buns.
>>282639664The way the anime did hantengu suckedit's just a two page spread of his life flashing before his eyes in the manga, right in the middle of Tanjiro cutting him down in complete hate because he thinks Nezuko is gone.

>>282625584This time, the majority of the box office revenue came from overseas, and even just counting foreign earnings, KnY has already surpassed Superman and Fantastic Four.Capeshit just isn’t popular outside of the U.S. anymore.
>>282640180Avatar 3 will make $3 billion worldwide
>>282640338> Capeshit just isn’t popular outside of the U.S. anymore.Japan has comic cons for marvel and dc.China made Marvel rivals.
>>282625584>A middle age japanese mother best usUFOtable did it not her.
>>282625584That's not hard to do. It's beating a dead horse at this point. Marvel destroyed itself and then pissed on the ashes. >>282625677I will give marvel credit, even if it doesn't sell there will be people talking about fuckups like pic related for a generation. They will study this in schools of the future, but not for reasons Marvel thinks they would.
>>282639664>she
This image was made last month when KnY utterly crushed two pieces of capeshit across Southeast Asia, but now it’s finally become reality on a worldwide scale.At the time, I argued that since Superman’s overseas box office wasn’t all that strong, there was a real chance for KnY to surpass it depending on how it performed in Southeast Asia, the U.S., and Europe. But Jeremy desperately denied it, insisting Infinity Castle wouldn’t even come close to Mugen Train’s numbers.
>>282626202No, Sales are literally the only thing that matter to our modern "Free market" (none of it is free)Nobody cares about if people are satisfied, if a product is good, if something is sustainable, or if a market is growing. They only care about money right now in the moment. Covid taught the world that every company is collectively dogshit at saving and investing and are only invested into burning themselves out as fast as they possibly can each and every quarter to show big line get bigger. The circumstances and the reality of what this means is lost, all that matters is big line.So when one of these companies curb stomps a major brand that tried to run the Big-Line race without being able to produce a product no one wants, isn't that something to celebrate? Ancient legacy media players who decided to produce nothing of value getting annihilated by the market-monster they created should be a cause of celebration for anyone whose net worth is under a billion dollars.
>>282640066>The series only Chinks cares
>>282640636>>282625677Yeah and guess what? Nobody cares if it's forgotten in a week either as long as sales are good and big line goes up. Since Marvel and other companies shot themselves in the head trying to appeal to Big Line Economics, they deserve nothing less.
>>282625677Let’s face reality.Right now, this very moment, Zoomers and normalfags all over the world are posting and talking about KnY on social media.
Anyone else notice that KnY fans are braindead? Literally double-digit IQs. I’m not even talking about in debates over whether or not it’s any good, I’m talking about things like media analysis of characters and hidden narratives, understand dialogue and themes etc. Every word a character says or thinks is exposition from the author, and unless it’s explicitly spelled out it doesn’t exist, etc, is the kindergarten-level these people are on.
>>282640342 We have reached to the point kny is being compared with juggernaut franchises, something your MHA will ever touch in its lifetime.
Hey.
>>282640803MHA feels like a mcu movie.I’m sick of superheroes
>>282640360Capeshit’s box office in Japan barely cracks ~$60M even with Endgame. Back in peak MCU era, capeshit would open at #1 worldwide, but in Japan the headlines were always “anime movie takes #1.”There was a brief phase in the 2000s where Japanese audiences kinda liked Spider-Man, but for the last decade-plus nobody here gives a damn about capeshit except a few westernized weebs. The last time a western franchise actually hit in Japan was Frozen and Big Hero 6.
>>282640641Money is still money.And passed 95 % of Hollywood western slop
>>282625677>Wahhh why don't people like the anime where the super special girl learns the intricacies of the stock market whilst exploring the museum of alien conspiracy theories!?!?!?!?>It's NOT FAIR!!!!!!
why can't /a/ just like demon slayer?
>>282640841> westernized weebs.Horikoshi?>The last time a western franchise actually hit in Japan was Frozen and Big Hero 6.Japan likes Disney cartoons more? Ok.Rip live action
>>282640641Until 2019, nobody cared about Demon Slayer outside of Japan, China, and Mexico.With Mugen Train and Season 2, its popularity suddenly exploded in the West, and now it’s no exaggeration to call it the number one IP in the world.
When can Japanese anime beat Disney?
>>282625584Modern anime IS the new MCU (And that's a good thing!)
>>282640867Because /a/ cannot function without slice of life rom com slop that goes on for 400 episodes with no conclusion due to the fact that they've been consuming that for the past 30 years.Literal Stockholm syndrome.
>>282640867/a/ was the biggest banbase of KnY until 2020.
>>282629314>board You mean site for otaku wizards? Normakfag opinion is always dismissed, and rightfully so.
>>282640981what happened after 2020?
>>282639339The only good fate adaption was absolute demonic front babylonia and it also happens to be one of the best anime series this decade.Action every episode Story every episodeOne episode for every chapter in the gameNo fillerIt's that fucking easy to make an anime and yet for some reason no one else can adhere to it in 2025
>>282640933If my understanding is correct, KnY has already surpassed most of Disney’s mid-tier films.It still can’t compete such as Frozen or Toy Story, but since the final movie will be a massive event for anime communities worldwide, there’s a chance it might come close.
>>282641012covid
>>282641012got way too big
>>282641012became too popular that it drew intense jealousy from fans of other series.

>>282625677>t-two more weeks!
>>282625584>Japan: around $240M>Overseas: around $380MThe craziest part is that with overseas revenue alone, it’s already surpassing the total worldwide box office of most anime films.And since the overseas gross will soon hit $400M, there’s a real possibility it could surpass the entire worldwide gross of every other Japanese anime film with overseas revenue alone.
>>282641144you are correct. what does that have to do with covid being the reason KnY explosions of popularity affected it's treatment on /a/ tho
>>282626411>Jurassic World RebirthThere is literally, LITERALLY one good Jurassic Park movie. It's been 30 years of abysmal garbage since, what the fuck are people seeing in this franchise? It's worse than capeshit.
>>282640867It insists upon itself
>>282626097I was actually getting pissed off because I was watching the cutest, most heartfelt shit ever knowing it was gonna be taken away from me. I wanted that band-aid ripped off immediately instead of watching it drag on as long as it did.

>>282639339>>It will be a hit but can't be MHA killerTanjiro being the main protag kids looked up to over crybaby Midoriya was something I'm glad that happened to the world. I'm just saddened that the best Zelda game has to be associated to MHA because the author named his main character after a scrub.

>>282641345Dinosaurs eating people is a concept that taps into our very DNA and is what connects us back through hundreds of billions of years to when our ancestors fought against them.
>>282641404Check above, he’s still going
>>282625584The power of just a straight shounen. Good guys are good guys.Bad guys are bad guy, even when they're having sentimental flashbacks.Evil bad guy is the evilest bad guy.You can't name a recent shounen that just played shit straight like that.
>>282640910It’s a bit surprising that even though the Chinese hate Japanese nationalism, the first foreign country to fall in love with KnY, one of the most right winged series alongside SnK, was China.
>>282630556what new manga>???? lol. only his assistant on jump plus did it. but not on wsj, wsm, wss, and any other magazine. they all have zero csm clone. csm fag always bring nonsense without back up data and the facts. >>282630899where. retards?? where is the new wave??
>>282641320covid changed entertainment habits significantly. Streaming became more relevant while theaters declined. Anime streaming blew up, but it didnt have a series blown up until solo levelling. It was then that people who are unbiased began to notice the cracks on the problems that anime has. The fact that anime creatives have been neglectful to such a degree that solo levelling became a big deal.People mentioned Disney and they have been having a ton of problems after endgame and are shadows of their former selves. Disney also alienated male fans ages 18-37 but that is not just a Disney problem. The male demographic is out shopping because creatives have failed them. The fact that Disney managed to lose men when they have star wars and marvel is one of the biggest entertainment fumbles.Let's also not forget that kpop demon hunters made a splash and shook up streaming recently. Netflix is still lagging in streaming but kpop demon hunters did something.
I'm convinced the only people who call this series shit are either evil fellows that don't like the message of "eradicate bad people without mercy" or just normal dudes that got filtered hard by Zenitsu being unbearably annoying.
I thought anime was for a small community.
>>282641599It was, but the kids raised on Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach have all grown up.
>>282641542>even when they're having sentimental flashbacks.God KNY would be so much better if they didn't have this "B-B-BUT DEMONS WERE ONCE PEOPLE TOO!!!!" finger-wagging nonsense. But I guess the masses of people love of it since they speak so highly of it, even though it's cheaply manipulative shit.
I wonder how anons who were bullied for liking anime feel seeing it being thrust onto the world stage and succeeding. Do you feel a sense of retribution?
>>282641599Anime has been mainstream since the early 2000s
>>282641650What strikes me is how it constantly tries to be more than just Shounen Jump slop and failing. Shounens aren’t allowed to have anything more than basic moral complexity, but KnY always tries to get away with more, and failing at it, with these manipulative flashbacks. Like, what about the dozens of students that were killed, do none of THEM have memories going to see the fireworks with THEIR sweethearts? But because KnY fans are so easily manipulated the victims don’t matter, what matters is that a cartoon emotional beat is set up to consume and that’s all they need.
>>282641542I read this manga all the way through, and honestly I thought it was a really well-done series. Yeah, the ending was a bit rushed, no denying that, but the only battle manga I found more enjoyable were Berserk, SBR, and JJK. And the art isn’t nearly as bad as people claim either. In a lot of ways, I actually think the manga is better than the anime.
How many Western actors do you think will appear in the live action Demon Slayer on Netflix?
>>282641666All thanks to you, Mr Satan
>>282641846Idris Elba
>>282641650Out of the six main villains, only two were given tragic backstories, the rest were either born psychopaths or simply became demons through their own fault.This series isn’t like Naruto, where every villain is left with some room for sympathy.Even Muzan himself had no redeeming qualities, the root of everything was nothing more than his selfishness and stupidity.
>>282641857And Ash Catchem
>>282641846Two Western actors: Hiroyuki Sanada and Ken Watanabe
>>282640950>And that's a good thing!No.Live action Netflix adaptation incoming. And more westerners involved in anime
>>282641719The upcoming Kokushibo/1st moon fight that's gonna be covered in one of the upcoming movies is extremely disappointing in that regard. Here is the 1st moon. Literally the strongest upper moon. The only one who even has the balls to talk smack to Muzan. So the fight begins. He spams breath techniques endlessly. He also has like a million of them. He combines the strengths of both a top-tier Hashira and a top-tier demon. You've got to wonder how our heroes will beat him, right? What kind of strategy will our heroes use to overcome this oppressive foe? How will they learn how to dodge his endless barrage of techniques? Will our heroes come up with a super smart plan to beat him?LOL NOPE!He loses because....later during the fight when he turns into a monstrous form, he sees his own reflection in Sanemi's sword and realizes he's a monster and that he doesn't want to be like this.It was a pure convenience. All coincidence and luck. He could have easily gone on to fight in this monstrous form if the room was completely dark and there was no source of light. They had no real plan against him. Even cutting off his head didn't work! Very anticlimactic and disappointing fight. No satisfaction from beating the strongest Upper Moon.But you can be certain redditors and normalfags will clap!>>282641862>or simply became demons through their own fault.This is handled no differently than the MUH TRAGIC demon backstories. See Kokushibo. Literally the one fight that SHOULDN'T have had this manipulative and sappy shit.
>>282641719That’s why he falls into hell and receives his punishment.Among the demons, not a single one has their past sins forgiven, without exception, they all fall into hell.
>>282638991I agree that Picel had better animation, but Tori's illustrations are more true to Oda. Picel illustrations are highly detailed, but don't feel like One Piece.
>>282641943*Toei
>>282641899>no differently than the MUH TRAGIC demon backstories.But how?Kokushibo’s backstory isn’t just a tear-jerking melodrama.It simply portrays the twisted sibling complex and Kokushibo’s human weakness, with just a touch of sadness at the very end.
>>282641974Literally read the same post, just above where I quote you. I go into entire detail why his fight ended up being as disappointing as Akaza and Daki/Gyu.
>>282641318The final movie will probably surpass $500M in overseas revenue alone.When it released, camrips flooded the internet on day one, dealing a huge blow to the box office in the West.Sony will have learned from this, and next time they’ll definitely aim for a worldwide simultaneous release.
>>282641894And those are BOTH good things!
>>282641899I would have been into Akaza’s flashback IF it resulted in him surpassing his lingering humanity, losing the prison markings, growing waist-long hair / transforming into a Pillar Man or some shit for the final form battle. THAT would have been epic shounen shit. I don’t CARE about his dead girlfriend who is still dead. But I also realize such a battle is beyond the author’s capabilities in the first place so whatever.Can’t wait for the reactions of all the shounen fans when Koku’s monster form comes out, all of them shrieking in hype for the immenent aura explosion, just to be told be told NOPE it’s over, he’s ugly now so nah bye :)
>>282641846I guess white actors will play Shinobu and Rengoku, and black actors will play Gyomei and Tengen.
Why 2 years for the next part?
>>282642047Nah, they'll love it just because of sunk cost fallacy. Just like how the manga readers still defend this bullshit to this day.
>>282641974No it portrayed poor Koku’s aura being shredded because suddenly he’s an evil twin petty loser, so go get ‘em team don’t worry.
>>282641943>Tori's illustrations are more true to OdaIn what sense? Toei has done nothing but screw up Oda's artstyle for almost 30 years. They haven't matched it, they haven't improved it, all they've done is make it look bad and unappealing. Production I.G's OVA may not be the most faithful representation of his art, but it's much better than almost everything Toei has done to this point.
>>282641994>Akaza>Daki/Gyutaro>KokushiboEverywhere you look online, their fight is met with overwhelmingly positive reactions, the only one nitpicking is Jeremy.In particular, the Gyutaro fight was the turning point that triggered this IP’s explosion in popularity in the West.I don’t like relying on majority opinion, but the fact that his whining diverges this much from the general consensus shows there’s definitely something wrong with his take.
>>282642052I want a himbo actor like Chris Evans twenty years ago to play Tengen.
I think the movie should've added in a small recap at the start so people who going in fresh (parents, siblings, girlfriends) are at least up to speed on who Muzan is or why all these characters are running for 2 hours.
>>282642137bruh.. movie is already 2 and a half hours as is
>>282642078You’re the only one who sees that flashback that way.Sure, if you dig around you might find a few others, but they’re basically just haters who already dislike KnY.You’ve been trying to spread that kind of warped view, but the current situation itself proves that all of that effort has been completely pointless.
Literally all the OP and ED songs of Kimetsu are pure ear kino but what do you guys prefer?OP1. Akeboshi/Kizuna no Seki2. Gurenge/Zankyou ZankaED1.from the edge/Koi Ko Kagare2.Asa ga kuru
People around me who probably haven’t even seen Naruto sometimes talk about this shit now.It feels a bit like the Pokémon boom from 30 years ago.
>>282642250Only Lisa/Aimer songs.Others are all garbage.Koikogare should have been given to Lisa.
>>282642137I saw quite a lot of people online who went to watch this movie despite never having seen the series at all.I still wonder what exactly they were expecting to get out of it.
Is it fair to say that right now this, One Piece, and JJK are basically the new Big 3?I’d been away from anime for the past few years, but now that I’ve started watching again, almost every battle shounen reel I see is from one of these three.

>>282630556Detective Conan has major cultural impact in Japan though.
>>282630556Achkually Devilman has THE highest sales per volume out of any manga
>>282642032I understand that a worldwide simultaneous release is difficult, but they should have at least gone for a one-week delay, or at minimum, released it in the West the following month like CSM will do.Because of the absurd decision to delay the Western release by two whole months, I think they lost at least $200M.
>>282629146Unabashed good vs evil shounen with strong family values Japs are starved for, a fundamentally good but uncucked MC who kills when necessary and frequently, and bloody, violent deaths and maiming of sympathetic characters that validate stakes with no kiddie gloves, all in a loosely historical setting that added a slight element of groundedness. Plus above average character designs and a great anime adaptation.TL;DR it felt traditional and wholesome but violent and real and got flashy adaptations.This is evidently more than enough to make up for things like overuse of cliches, a big bad with a boring character, flashback spam in place of proper story pacing and foreshadowing, etc.
>>282642052All the characters are canonically Japanese.
>>282642649that has never stopped shitflix
>>282642592If it had at least been released in the West by August, it would have already surpassed $700M by now.Sony completely miscalculated.They underestimated KnY’s current global popularity and missed their chance.
>>282640581>insisting Infinity Castle wouldn’t even come close to Mugen Train’s numbers.>2025>No more covid so people can go out.>Open with more theater than MT back in 2020.>Anime is more mainstream than ever.Jeremy is retarded, IF literally have more advantages then MT. But then again he think demon slayer's success was just a trend created by covid and people would forget it when everything go back to normal but then he got constantly slap in the face by reality.
I really don't understand why people think KnY isn't on the samelevel as capeshit. Not even insulting KnY, but it's just fun you watch with your buddies just like superhero films.
I think a live-action adaptation would be impossible without the author’s approval, and I doubt Gotouge would ever allow it.Is she even in contact with Shueisha or ufotable right now? Despite the fact that this has become such a worldwide phenomenon, she hasn’t released a single statement, only silence. Back during Mugen Train, she contributed a Rengoku spin-off episode to Jump and even wrote a message of gratitude to ufotable, but this time there’s been no response from her at all.It’s a stark contrast to Fujimoto, who drew a special booklet for the CSM movie bonuses and made plenty of comments to help promote it.
>>282642866some authors just don't feel like promoting their work all the timeBocchi's mangaka spent several comikets drawing blue archive instead of doing anyting Bocchi related
>>282642087I'm not saying Toei's is one to one. It's defiantly a lot cheaper compared to Oda's artwork. But Toei's character designs and tone come closer to Oda's more cartoonish and colorful (much easier to describe from a colored chapter) aspects of his art. Picel goes for a more darker and more realistic look.
>>282642866She's probably overwhelmed by the massive scale of worldwide popularity that her little manga has, given how she quite reclusive to begin with.
>>282642410The new big 3 is MHA, KnY, and JJK. MHA is distantly behind compared to the other two, but reached a way bigger feat than most manga will ever achieve, so is included.
>>282642922I don't see how making an artstyle completely worse is a good thing. If that's what being “faithful” means to you, fine, but to me, they're just shitting on Oda's art.
>>282637592When will they animate him?
>>282642644Good vs evil is absolutely standard shounen. You just like the colors and flashing lights.
>>282643223There's been a lot more usage of differing perspectives, tragic backstory as justification, redemptions, etc. in recent years. In KnY evil gets killed every single time whether it's pure evil, tragic circumstances or even was forced onto the evildoer. No rehabilitation past a certain point.That hardline brutal justice isn't common at all in shounen.
>>282626411>close to beating SupermanThat's not very very Punkrock...
>>282643265No, it's heavy metal.
>>282641661Only in the merch sense. I still feel like Im being mocked but this time the bullies are in the anime club too.
>>282629146>Nobody has still been able to explain why this trash is so popular.1. AnimationIt looks really good. Duh.2. There's literally nothing wrong with itIt's a simple show that executes the typical shonen tropes we all love very effectively. Being simple and generic has its perks. It's Bleach if Bleach was written by someone normal. Bleach has higher highs but way lower lows. I question why someone would hate Demon Slayer, it's such an inoffensive show, it's like hating rice or something.
>>282643254Go ahead and name me one recent shounen in which evil isn’t killed off in battle every single time? Redemption can happen but it’s pretty rare.
>>282643342>I question why someone would hate Demon Slayer, it's such an inoffensive show, it's like hating rice or something.People seething that it's more popular, successful, and culturally relevant than their favorite anime or capeslop.
>>282625584Watched this yesterday and it was just not good. I simply can't believe how easily pleased normalfags are. I genuinely can't fathom how anyone can watch this and think it's good unless they are 15 years old or have seen less than 30 anime.For the good; voice actors are good and visuals are alright. I also like the time period this show is set in except that in the magical castle you don't really get to experience anything of the setting. And that's everything good I have to say about this.Music was actual dogshit, I feel like on average anime tends to have great music and even if I didn't enjoy an anime I might go back and listen to OST I liked. This movie had absolutely nothing, there were so many tracks that sounded lifted straight out of your average Hollywood action slop and not a single memorable track. Tanjiro's theme is good but that was just recycled from TV.The pacing is abysmal, the entire movie is fight - flashback - fight - character is dying - show sad backstory - repeat. One of the most tedious movie experiences I have ever had to sit through. You better hope this gets the Mugen train treatment of getting a season of anime because that shit is okay when you're watching an episode a week but is just cancer to sit through in a 2,5h movie.Visuals were unimpressive. Sure there are some smooth and dynamic fight scenes but it gets ruined by computer effects spam. A gigantic shifting castle is a cool setting but you really have no sense of space for any of the action happening, characters just get flung from 1 nondescript room to another and it loses all impact. Backgrounds are also not good, not a single screenshot worthy scene, and everything is covered up with CG smoke and debris. The people who think this looks good must believe that anime should look like a AAA video game and stylization is bad.I won't even bother saying anything about the story because not even the most deluded Demon Slayer fan watches this for the story.
>>282641661It's looking pretty grim actually.The same fucks who murdered the industries they are migrating from are now moving onto anime.
This series is probably decent but I'll shit on it until my dying breath just because how annoying you salesfaggots are.

>>282637592I bring up Conjuring because it proves the point: even a dying horror franchise held better beyond its first week than Demon Slayer. Infinity Castle collapsed -75% in its second week and -59% in its third week. That's not mainstream success, that's just your fandom screaming loud for one weekend and vanishing. Deadline doesn't talk about it because the mainstream never cared in the first place.
>>282643830That just happened
>>282643907Dude, the conjuring collapsed 70% and 50% IN ITS COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.You genuinely don't understand box office trends or how foreign movies perform.
>>282626411Update
>>282643557Hey you're spamming this in other threads. Anyway you lost and got raped mentally.
>>282625677This. I don't give a fuck about some derivative shounenshit anime. There's always that one slop that normalfags will decide they put a lot of money into.
>>282625584ok cool but why isn't the reze movie gaining as much hype and sales as this one? I remember when CSM went viral and everyone and their mother cosplayed chainsaw form denji/makima during covid
>>282643952All you're doing is confirm what I'm trying to say: Infinity Castle had awful legs compared to a dying horror franchise. If the best defense is "but Conjuring dropped too" then you're basically saying Demon Slayer = horror-level frontloading. Not a good look for something fans claim is a mainstream hit. Also, box office legs are universal. If a movie holds, it's because audiences beyond the core fans keep coming. Demon Slayer's US drops prove it didn't reach the mainstream outside its anime bubble.

>>282644351The live action one? Presumably kiddos love it, like the mincraft movie. Parents taking their kids mean at bare minimum you're looking at like 3 tickets per family.
>>282644310This is just nostalgia retardation like with lion king remake all over again. Sequel will flop like Mufasa prequel>>282644351Original is great but remake is soulless and also ending is different - Lani leaves Lilo to David and his grandma and goes to UCLA to study oceanography (strangely Hawaii have better faculty in this science than California)
>>282644371Yes. I thought people were getting sick of those lifeless Disney live action remakes, and they've yet to make any progress on the only one I'd care about (notre dame)
>>282625677
I wonder which top execs would go LET'S MAKE AN ANIME CINEMATIC UNIVERSE?In during >What do you mean I can't crossover that demonslayer cartoon with titan cartoon.
>>282644447They should force gotouge to make international demon slayers that use the power of the sun to beat blood sucking and flesh eating demon sin the 20s.Jojo part 2 crossover it is.
>>282644409Unfortunately, those live actions do still make bank.
>>282625677There's a reason why all of the money it makes comes from the anime and not elsewhere. Anime carries this shit franchise and when the anime ends, this shit franchise will die.One Piece, Naruto, Bleach and DBZ will outlive it.
>>282644447Live action fate stay night, obviously. They've got the multiverse in-built too with FGO
>>282644493It's too confusing for normalfags, plus shitstorm of both sides with King Arthur was a futa and committed incest that destroyed her Britain.
>>282644482>why all of the money it makes comes from the anime>10 million/volume>merch everywhere>collabs everywhere
>>282644532They followed Avengers and Spider-verse just dine.
>>282644538Until RDJ died. MCU is a damaged to dead franchise at this point. You'll need a charismatic centerpiece for a Fate live action in order to sell.
>>282644482It really makes me wonder what Demon Slayer's long-term plan 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 or YGO. 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 real life. Spin-off potential? Muzan's lore got dumped in the final battle and the epilogue leaves zero room for continuation. Prequels? Everything potentially interesting was already told with Yoriichi in Infinity Castle. That's why these anime-driven franchises only works in the short-term to make lots of quick bucks, but they fail spectacularly in the long-term because once the anime is fully adapted, the novelty wears off. It happened with Shingeki.>>282644493FSN is another one of those franchises that doesn't work as a live action. Not because it's a nightmare in terms of visual effects, but because the writing is too rooted in otaku culture. FZ is the only one that doesn't have traces of Nasu's otaku writing. It also helps that the cast of FZ is international which makes casting a lot more easier than a predominant Japanese cast.
>>282644642It ends, simply, they will have extended it for 10 years after it ENDED, things should be allowed to end gracefully.
>>282644642It will be a long time before the anime end. If they release part 2 in 2027 then it's certain part 3 will be 2029, and after that they gonna chop the movie into tv series format and air it in 2031. It's gonna be six long year, they sure as hell will pull something out of their asses.
>>282642592I disagree. They got so much free marketing from headlines about how well it was doing in Japan and then Korea/Taiwan/HK and people went to the theaters for the event. Just like the movie cost nothing relative to Hollywood, the ad campaign was just as cheap. All the people that believed bullshit narratives like that nobody cared about Demon Slayer anymore were like oh it hasn't actually lost any popularity in east Asia at all. Everyone that wants to know how Demon Slayer ends has read the manga or watched some terrible youtube summary/fanfic so there's no spoiler avoidance drive either.They won't actually get anything from a simultaneous release. You can probably get the same effects from a 3-4 weeks though.
>>282625584Oh boy, I can't wait until Hollywood decides to give attention to this issue ha8kr
>>282644468Making Giyuu or Yushiro into Zeppelli for some American teen with a totally unrelated demon is the least offensive spinoff idea I've heard.
>>28264417870 million isn’t enough for you??? How’s that not breaking outside the anime bubble??

>>282645850Why is so hard to accept what is happening and it’s not like there’s no actual numbers.
>>282641497I don’t really get why fags get so upset that people go watch movies with dinosaures breaking shit, sure the first one is the only good one, doesn’t mean the rest isn’t fun, and it’s far better than the cringefest that is capeshit.
>>282646029I mean, you get upset at people watching capeshit.
>>282627229Only mutts care about America thoughbeit.
>>282628781>Crouching Tiger>Before you were bornOh, yeah, imagine being alive in the mythical time of the year 2000
>>28264567470 mullion is proof of how frontloaded it is, not proof of mainstream breakout. If it really broke out, it wouldn't have collapsed -75% in its second week and -59% in its third week. Mainstream movies grow beyond their fanbase, Demon Slayer only proved how dependent it is on its bubble. Look at Barbie: 162 million opening, then a -43% drop and finally a total of 600 million in America. Oppenheimer did the same, 82 million on openin followed by a -44% drop and nearly made 1 billion global. Know what Barbie and Oppenheimer have in common that Demon Slayer don't have? They expanded beyond their built-in base, drew casuals, and became cultural events. Demon Slayer didn't. It spiked, then cratered.Anime fans are *extremely* good at showing up day 1. That makes for loud openings, but terrible longevity. That's also why Mugen Train, JJK 0, DBS Super Hero and Infinity Castle all have the same pattern: flashy opening, vanishing act after.

Even comics have conceded a lot to anime/manga. But come on. All of us knew there was something special with anime. It was just a matter of time for it to become mainstream like this. COVID accelerated the process.
>>282625584?Wrong board?
>>282644181Peak
>>282647127Western cartoons have been fucked for more than a decade. If you want to get on TV, you have to be so safe, you have no edges on designs (hence beanmouth shit), or you have to be an adult comedy. For alternatives, you have to look for streaming services or straight up, retro cartoons. Very sad state of affairs.>>282646368You're huffing weapons grade copium. Hit up anime cons, they're hot business now. Or don't, you might scare people with your smell.
>>282647175> Western cartoons have been fucked for more than a decade.Kpop demon hunters broke records
>>282647175Anime cons don’t change the box office numbers. Infinity Castle dropped -75% in its 2nd week and -59% in its 3rd week. That’s the opposite of a mainstream breakout. Fandom passion = big cons and day 1 hype. Mainstream relevance = sustained box office and cultural reach. Demon Slayer only has the first, not the second.
>>282643776I cared.
>>282644181The highest grossing animated film of all time!
Lmao they mad
>>282647604He's right. Leftoids have ruined everything. Now they're killing people.
Because almost all the actors in Netflix’s One Piece were non Japanese, I guess Demon Slayer will turn out the same.
>>282647652> One PieceOda said..
>>282647652Most characters in one Piece arent japanese/asian either
>>282647652Everyone in Demon Slayer is Japanese. One Piece takes place in a high fantasy world where humans are racially ambiguous or unspecified.
>>282647721I always feel one Piece was kinda like a More mixed World, since people travels a Lot, nations are small so on
>>282647721But don’t you think some of the Hashira could be played by Western actors without it feeling weird? I think Rengoku or Sanemi could totally be played by Americans.

>>282647075Oh okay. I understand why /a/ doesn't want anime to become more popular now. They are tired dealing with your insecurity but don't have enough money to buy nukes and wipe your asses out of existence
>>282645329>free marketing from headlines about how well it was doing in Japan and then Korea/Taiwan/HK and people went to the theaters for the event.This movie became a global hit without any of that crap, and honestly, it probably would’ve made way more money if it hadn’t happened at all.Right now KnY is the top IP worldwide, and the hype was already peaking after last season’s cliffhanger finale.Remember, the day after Infinity Castle dropped in Japan on July 18th, the internet was already flooded with high-quality full-movie camrips. The only other times I’ve seen piracy storms on that scale were Avengers IW and EG. That alone tells you how insane the global anticipation was.People act like $600M is some massive win, but I’m telling you, if Sony hadn’t botched the release schedule, this thing could’ve reached $800M.
>>282648228To answer seriously, Muzan’s motif isn’t Michael Jackson, it’s simply the typical attire of upper-class Japanese men from the late 19th to early 20th century.This was his original prototype design.
>Kimetsu broke 600 million>Suddenly constant 4 Chink threads appearing almost at the same timeWait, they really havae inferiority complex?
>>282634744>You mean an extremely profitable audience studios love? Sure, but profitable =/= prestige or mainstream relevance. Kids are the reason why Minions made billions and it doesn't mean it's an Oscar contender or cultural game-changer. It just proves Demon Slayer is a fad for teens, not a movie with cross-demographic impact. 130 million is impressive for *anime*, but compared to what Hollywood earns, it's actually small potatoes. Barbie did 600 million in America. Mario did 574 million and Spider-Verse 2 did 381 million. Demon Slayer's 130 million isn't mainstream big, it’s niche big. Demon Slayer's ceiling is fandom-driven frontload, and the -75% drop actually proves it never went beyond that.>It breaking records for anime everywhere is the cherry on top.Anime records are not Hollywood records.

>>282649725>At least western Hollywood films are finally collapsing.Don't worry. Avatar, Furrytopia 2 and a couple of other Chinese movies will knock down Demon Slayer from the top 10 this year again. Capeshit too along the way, so it's a win-win. No capeshit, no shounenshit.
>>282627180Exactly that. They've been crushed by life and want something as safe, predictable, and unchallenging as possible. Pretty it up and here's your newest hit.
>>282650529> a couple of other Chinese moviesWhat other films besides ne zha 2
>>282625677He's right, you know. No one gives a shit about this when it's not airing anything, it's that bland.
>>282641345People have kept having kids these last 30 years anon. Those kids still get obsessed with dinosaurs, buy dinosaur toys and wanna go to the movies to see big dinosaurs do the big scary and big funny
>>282649563What’s interesting is that even in terms of overseas box office, KnY surpasses both of them.Superman and Fantastic Four each pulled around $250M outside the U.S., while KnY’s revenue from outside Japan is close to $400M.How much support a franchise has outside its home country is an important indicator of the quality of its popularity.
The idea that the cast should all be Japanese feels a bit outdated.

>>282651013Whore elf
>>282625677SPBP.You'll never guess which one is carried by the animation.
KnY isn’t suited for live-action at all, starting with the character designs themselves.Some people joke about casting Western actors, but that’s not even remotely funny.If they absolutely have to do it, they should cast the actors from the stage play. He almost certainly wouldn’t be able to speak English, but honestly, the idea of KnY characters speaking English in the first place is pure nonsense.
>>282651106Hell no.Enough with live action remakes
>>282647967Rengoku’s face is clearly designed with a kabuki actor in mind, so he absolutely has to be played by a Japanese actor.
>>282651498Filming it like a toku could be fun.
>>282651498He looks perfect, but since he’s a stage actor, you can’t really expect much from him in terms of action scenes in a movie.

>>282651498I think it makes sense for the KNY characters to speak English. Since the story takes place during a period when Western culture was being introduced to Japan, it wouldn’t feel out of place if everyone spoke English.
