I was reading how incredibly popular the Demon Slayer movie is in Japan. I really want to see it. Supposedly its gorgeously animated.

Yeah, can't wait. It'd be nice if they'd eventually let Toonami air it since it seems unlikely it'll be able to get into theaters here any time soon.

It is odd they used a movie to cover manga material.  So if there is a second season and Toonami gets it, things will be incomplete if they don't show the movie.  I wonder if it could be split into episodes.

Ooh that sounds awesome, I'd love to see it in an IMAX.

I imagine my theaters would have only done it in regular though since I don't think they've done an anime in one of the special ones yet.

Yeah, it's pretty unusual that the movie is directly continuing the next part so we do need to see it before an eventual S2 in this case.

ya thats definitely a Japan thing.I wish animation was widely respected like that in the US.  Apparently it's smashing records over there. The entire country is flocking to see it in theaters.

The plot is pretty self contained from what I'm hearing.

Could still be retreaded in the first 4-5 episodes of Season 2. In fact, the chance that happens is probably greater if everyone's seen it. I mean, that was the case with Dragonball Super, right?

Anything is possible. Although I read that Tanjiro and Nezuko arent even the main focus so it's almost like a side story. It's possible that it is tied into the main storyline more than I was lead to believe.

Yeah, for years my theaters never really had any of the anime movies though that seemed like it was finally started to change with a few like Promare and Heroes Rising.

I honestly never saw anything outside of Ghibli stuff come to my local theaters but after this Covid shit ends I could see myself venturing farther to see anime in theaters. A lot of this stuff shines on the big screen.

Yeah, I don't think we ever got them other than probably only Ghibli, Pokemon, etc. the wide releases. The limited release/Fathom Events ones we never really got till this year unless I were to go to one of the slightly farther theaters which I usually didn't.

Fathom right. That's the only ones I can recall, like "Your Name" ran for a while for example. I do have some obscure theaters around that will run the occasional anime as well but they're typically smaller scale independent types.

Fathom Events is also the one who put on the VERY limited showing of the dub of Gundam NT on 2/19/2019! (Yes, that was a Tuesday!)

I have a couple theaters that are about a hour away that play anime movies, and that length of drive is worth it for sure

Yeah, that makes sense since I don't think my main one got Your Name back then unlike this year when we finally got some of them.

What a treat it would be if they somehow did a wide release of Mugen Train

My local Alamo Drafthouse theater was showing the 4k Akira remaster and seeing that in theaters was a treat  

Alamo was the shit. They were the guys screening classics at actual filming locations, like Close Encounters at that actual rock in Wyoming I think. That would be a magical experience. They also did Goonies in Oregon somewhere.

u went? awesome

Of course!! Since it was essentially a continuation of Gundam Unicorn, I also watched plenty of that using my DVDs and my DVR leading up to the showing!

Of course, at the time, I had a lot more free time, because I was only working part-time.

I really should collect the rest of the set of Gundam Unicorn plus the movie NT. But I guess I'll rewatch my DVRed episodes sometime in 2021!

On that note, REALLY looking forward to SSSS: Gridman, especially the last 7 episodes!
