Anime 'Demon Slayer' becomes Japan's top-grossing film

Less competition in the box office

My son isn't allowed to watch anime.

I prefer instead that he grow up to have enriching social relationships, and one day even procreate.

Not clear as why so many people are obsessed over this anime lately.

It seems one of the factor is that it takes place in Taisho era which is not so often used for setting.

I guess a story about purifying demon as a symbol of disaster in the middle of a pandemic also kind of make sens.

An anime epic in which a teenager hunts down and beheads demons on Monday

What does he do for the rest of the week?

(Sorry. Post-Christmas reading rate slowdown.)

Gangam style is still one of the most watched videos on YouTube.

Maybe the same.

But if you have a finger in that pie then you are laughing all the way to the bank

Momonoke princesses and castle in the sky from Disney I meant from chiburi is my favorite.

We watched the entire series season one on Netflix. I can't imagine why the movie is so popular. I can only assume it's a helluva lot better than the series to be garnering such popularity and devotion.

...whose full title is "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train"

It just rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?

Sorry but the Movie was slow and boring till the last 15-20mins. The Netflix Kimitsu no yaiba episodes are far far better. However they do not in any way, shape or form compare to Sen to Chihiro. That is simply one of, if not THE greatest (non-cgi)cartoon movie ever.

@oxycodin i'm waiting for the release of evangelion 3.0+1.0 .

@BackpackingNepal of course. studio Ghibli is the crown jewel of Japan.

Studio Ghibli is still the Japan's authentic pride.

Good for them. My children are also obsessed with this anime as well. Not clear as why so many people are obsessed over this anime lately. I do miss Gundam anime.
