Chapinator_X Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 If you’re talking about massive releases that last longer than a week, maybe it’d be The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, The Wind Rises or The Secret World of Arrietty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I Know that but i suppose like an idiot I Keep thinking Of Nationwide as "You'll be able to see it at the nearest theater no problem" because typically that's what it means for most movies in the united states that are labeled that way(Limited Releases Being the opposite) however i should have known there was no way Any Anime Movie was going to be shown at most theaters these days instead of a select few it's still anime after all and no matter how popular it's become You Can't just Put The Demon Slayer Mugen Train film on in a relatively small town theater where interest is probably very low Edited August 6, 2021 by CountFrylock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I've seen three whole anime movies in theater. Pokemon, Pokemon 2000, and DBS Broly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Sadly most-to-all anime films never get a complete nationwide release in the US. The days of Disney being interested in them are over. Edited August 7, 2021 by elfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naraku360 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I resent the Demon Slayer movie for having the highest grossing theatrical release of all anime movies ever. Such an accomplishment for a film that released when there were no other movies showing. 👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the series was good solid shonen, I had fun with it for the most part, but it is Just. Not. That. Special. It sticks to most of the same tropes as everything else in its genre, and really the only thing that sets it apart are the quality character designs and ufotable going ham with effects animation. Oh, and Zenitsu is one of the worst fucking characters I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 At least we got everyone's favorite feral hog son out of it. He almost makes up for Zenitsu being fucking unbearable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I had a pretty good time with the Demon Slayer anime & manga, but that’s mostly because it ended before it overstayed its welcome. It’s a well put-together shonen that’s consistently acceptable, but that isn’t as bad when many of today’s beloved shonen need much more time and investment before they hit the same level of quality. Demon Slayer being the highest grossing anime film isn’t the worst thing that could happen, especially when it’s as much of a spectacle as many of the highest grossing films out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and Zenitsu is one of the worst fucking characters I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through. I really like the first 2-3 episodes. I hear it was going to get cancelled so the author slapped on a bunch of cliche shonen junk and made it demonstrably worse, thus causing the immense popularity. I didn't reslly care for it once it violently shifted from mostly serious to having characters like Zenitsu. There was a tonal whiplash that soured it for me, and realizing it was made ultra-generic for sales numbers rubs me the wrong way Edited August 21, 2021 by naraku360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the overwhelming popularity of To Your Eternity has tempered my dissatisfaction with Demon Slayer some. Or Tokyo Revengers' manga outselling AoT somehow. Oh, and fucking Mushoku. Jesus fucking Christ. 🤮 Edited August 21, 2021 by naraku360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does what it does well and they clearly put the effort in with the animation and character design. It's kind of an Inuyasha that didn't decide to go into filler hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't that the truth. The whole bit where he's first introduced to Nezuko was really, really bad. And part of it was because Tanjiro never got around to explaining that she was his sister, at least not onscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
