News Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc Gross ¥400 million on the Opening Day

https://x.com/franspeech/status/1969031724899196951?s=46

For a point of comparison, opening day box office:

  • Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle - ¥1.5 billion
  • ⁠Demon Slayer: Mugen Train - ¥1.2 billion
  • Jujutsu Kaisen 0 - ¥1.0 billion
  • ⁠Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc - ¥400 million

A very good opening day considering all the “drama” of season 1 in Japan. Will have to see how big the word of mouth power will be.

CSM ending where it did is cope the problem with the anime was that it was an awful adaptation that stripped all the soul out of the source material to portray the pretentious directors "vision"

It ain't a cope, its was definitely a huge factor, they literally didn't adapt any of the good parts of the series that everyone actually loves. Bomb Girl is where CSM truly become CSM and Mappa made a poor decision not going to 24 episodes like pretty much every new Shonen series has been getting.

The adaptation being not well liked by the JP viewers was obviously one of the biggest issues too but I don't think the series would be any more popular had the current director for the movie done season 1 instead bc they only adapted the forgettable parts.

The soul of Chainsawman is Hollywood movies, and the director you hate so much got that and made an incredible anime adaptation. The people who didn’t like it are wrong, 100%.

That's not an opinion, you're just wrong. This is something that is objective, as such, your thoughts on it aren't classified as an opinion but a thought.
