>is the most successful anime movie in history in your pathhow does demon slayer do it? part 2 is going to break $1 billion
>>290856606>part 2 is going to break $1 billionHopefully not and the movie bombed. I'm tired of seething schizo shitting up the place
>>290856606We're tired of you Jeremy, we truly do
>>290856606Yes
>>290856683I hope it breaks records just so I can watch the anti-KnY schizos have an aneurysm.>>290856698literally who?
does demon slayer have any cute shotas?
>>290857085Rokuta?
>>290857085Tanjiro is cute enough to be a shota esque but if you don't care about screentime, His dead siblings
>>290856606It's extremely normalfag friendly somehow. I wouldn't think they'd have the patience for the exposition, flashbacks or slapstick moments but I guess they just zone out and go to their happy place until the next action scene pops up. I don't know. It still confuses me.
>how does demon slayer do it?Ufotable greed. They should've given these chapters a full season.
strawhatters seething
>>290857085well there is Kotetsu. and Muichiro more so in his flashbacks though>>290857116Rokuta is like a baby though. Takeo and Shigeru probably fit the typical idea of a shota better than Rokuta.>>290857134I think Tanjiro in the first couple of episodes would qualify as a shotaalthough you're right that he pretty much is one anyway. the only time he doesn't look like one is when he takes his shirt off
>>290857243god i wish that robot were me
>>290856606>>290857183weirdly girls like it too, but 日本人 and Americans.
>>290856606You know you don't get any of that right?
>>290856606>how does demon slayer do it?came out right when covid happened and normalfags were exposed to anime for the first time en masse
>>290856606Croc can't be stopped baby
>>290857240imagine nezuko kicking you in the balls
>>290857314>weirdlyIt has hot men, cute boys and strong female characters, why wouldn't they like it?
>>290857085Rui, Senjuro, Muichiro, Zohakuten
>>290856606>>is the most successful anime movieAnd it has no cultural footprint. For something that makes a lot of money, it certainly has no influence.>part 2 is going to break $1 billionNo, it's not. For a movie to cross $1 billion, it has to be a 4-quadrant film; basically it has to draw males + females, under-25 + over-25, families + date-night crowds + general audiences and not just presold fans who bought tickets weeks in advance Most true blockbusters need at least 3 quadrants and Demon Slayer was only strong with 1 core quadrant (young anime fans, especially in Asia) but weak with the others. That's why it opened big and then fell off sharply after just one weekend by -76%. Japan's admission numbers (27.46 million for Infinity Castle vs. 28-29 million for Mugen Train) also shows the core audience is already tapped out. Even with significant price increases and premium format availability, the raw human count is stagnant. You can't force a billion-dollar total if your core market is at capacity and your international expansion relies on attracting a demographic that has already been exposed to the brand. Even in China, this movie was frontloaded and driven by the same event dynamics seen elsewhere; IMAX screenings accounted for a massive portion of that total because fans wanted the premium experience. Once that audience is satisfied, the film's footprint naturally shrank as theaters shifted to more broadly appealing titles like Zootopia 2. Infinity Castle never beat Suzume in China.The JPY also won't get any better. Even if the film performs well in local currency terms in Japan that revenue translates into significantly fewer dollars when converted to global totals. And with the massive interest rate gap between the Federal Reserve and the BOJ, the currency will remain weak and won't improve anytime soon.
>>290856606Nah, this already peaked last time, the one who "might" surpass this movie is Gojo vs Sukuna fight, or maybe GV One Piece.
>>290860860
>>290856606>Mc is the Chosen one and cries a lot thats the secret
>>290857085Rui is peak bratty shota
>>290856683i don't know if you're keeping up with how movies and the box office works nowadays but it's not that difficult to break 1B because of how expensive movie tickets are nowadays, how popular a few select movies get and the strange phenomenon of people going in to watch the same movie multiple times
>>290862315Name famous people who actually quotes Demon Slayer lines like "Set your heart ablaze" the same way people can quote "It's over 9000", "To infinity and beyond", "May the Force be with you", "By the power of Grayskull", "The One Piece is real" or just recently, Jujutsu Kaisen's "Nah, I'd win."You can't. Demon Slayer is to anime, like Avatar is to anime. It has no cultural impact on the wider global population. It has no iconic poses people can mimic unlike JJBA, it has no iconic attacks people flex as a metaphor like Kamehameha, Domain Expansion or Shadow Clone Jutsu. It has no timeless characters who transcends anime like Goku, Luffy, Naruto or even Gojo. It has no iconic moments that lingers. And it also didn't inspire any up and coming manga artists 6 years after it ended, Chainsaw Man did. The only thing Demon Slayer has going to it is that it made a lot of money.
I see the JJK schizo has arrived.
>>290862501No. You're just underestimating what it actually takes to cross $1 billion and dismissing a billion dollars as "not that difficult nowadays" because of inflation and repeat viewings ignores basic box office history and arithmetic. If making $1 billion was easy in the modern market, every major studio release would be doing it. They're not cause only a microscopic percentage of movies ever cross the billion-dollar milestone. Even heavily hyped Hollywood blockbusters with broad family appeal, massive global marketing budgets, and higher average ticket prices frequently cap out in the $600 or $800 million range. Sure, inflated IMAX and 4DX prices can lift a movie's opening weekend, but they raise the barrier of entry for casual viewers. Higher ticket prices mean fewer casual walk-ins, forcing a film to rely even more heavily on repeat viewings by the same core fanbase.That "strange phenomenon" you talk about is actually is actually a known box office trap. Hardcore fans rewatching a show 2 or 3 times generates strong frontloaded numbers. But to reach $1 billion purely on repeat viewings, a niche audience would need to buy 10 to 15 tickets per person across millions of individuals and repeat viewings diminish rapidly after week three. Once the core fandom moves on, there is no secondary casual audience to sustain long-term box office legs.Movies like Inside Out 2, Super Mario Bros Galaxy, Zootopia 2 and Frozen 2 all reached $1 billion cause toddlers, teens, 30-something parents, and grandparents all bought tickets together over a 3-month window. A serialized anime movie requires the viewer to have watched dozens of hours of prior TV content. You simply cannot get millions of random parents or casual date-night couples to pay $18 a ticket for the climax of a story they haven't followed or give a fuck about.
>Jeremy is literally using everything against KNY What's next?
>>290862590I've seen parodies of the whole hashira thing in other animu, and of Nezuko's gag
>>290863029>muh jeremyYour third rate meme won't work on me. To the casual /a/-goer, they'd just think you're schizo babbling. To a newfag, they'd just think you're talking about Jeremy Clarke from Top Gear.To me, I'm genuinely curious how something can be a massive commercial success and still feel so empty at the same time. The Avatar effect is real.
>>290862880We are really gonna do this again with you?
>>290856606Is there still beef between Japan and China? >>290863029Another passport incident where he doxxs himself again.
>>290863196Go look at the ticket admissions for Mugen Train and Infinity Castle, that's all I have to say. You think a movie can easily force $1 billion dollars just from a dedicated niche fanbase and reaching that milestone is easy. It's not. There are only about 65 movies in the entire history of cinema has ever crossed that milestone. And if count China which is a huge market, it couldn't even beat Makoto Shinkai's Suzume that successfully brings in casual audiences. It functioned like a fan-driven movie.
>>290863095>I'm genuinely curious how something can be a massive commercial success and still feel so empty at the same timeWhy can't you people understand the target audience for these things, literal 3 year old babies, are invisible to adults on the internet or even in most real life scenarios?
>Schizo Breathing, First Form: Uncontrollable Seethe of Jealousy
>>290863268Because China pulled the movie due to the Japanese prime minister running her mouth. Im really starting to believe when anons say you have a humiliation fetish
>>290862338Then why did MHA flop?
>>290857085Does he count?
>>290856998What you akshually mean is that you hope it breaks records so anti-KnY schizos and Oda tards have an aneurysm amirite??
>>290862590>chainsaw man inspired more mangasTells you its about the heart, not the money, and demon slayer seemed to have captured corporate greed and its desires to fatten its wallets. Wani must have used some witchcraft or something because she definitely didn’t win peoples hearts, just their attention spans via ufo tables pretty and flashy colors
>>290856606>is the most successful anime movie in history in your pathGrimThe world really is filled to the brim with manchildren.
>>290863518Makoto Shinkai is more popular to than Demon Slayer in China among general audiences. Infinity Castle is a fan-driven anime movie over there like it was elsewhere bar Japan. It was always going to have a big rush as soon as pre-sales went live and it was always going to hit a ceiling because it doesn't have the same mass appeal as Zootopia 2 does. The Japanese PM's stances wouldn't really changed that outcome.
>>290862880Based logic anon brapping on kimestu no yabai trannies
Less seethe, more shotas
>>290856606>how does demon slayer do it?You're asking here bec you think /a/ knows?
