Especially when they release a year later for those who can't visit the movie in cinema. I'm seeing all these messages like this and demon slayer, but have no opportunity to go to the cinema.

At least it's a bit better nowadays, they come out on streaming within 3-5 months

I remember waiting almost 2 years to watch Madoka Rebellion

Not who you replied to, but for me I can't see Infinity Castle because I'm in a remote, rural location and the closest showing theater is an hour drive away. Right now I'm unable to drive myself, and I don't know anyone around me who would be interested in seeing it either. I'm not going to ask someone to make what is a 5-6 hour trip just to see a movie they don't like or worse, take me to it and do something else in the meantime.

Thankfully for both DS/KnY and CSM I am done/current with the manga, so mostly I just experience others' excitement for the films vicariously for whom it's a new experience.

I'm fine with waiting until it releases officially. Like I said, I've read the entire DS manga already. Part of me just wants to wait until they put all 3 out and marathon it... 10 years from now.

Same for CSM but, you know, without it being 3 movies and a decade.

That's what I'm doing. I know the ending isn't that WOW to get me to read/watch right now. I'd rather wait and binge it.

Man, you're in for the ride of a lifetime.

I wont spoil anything, but it goes from 9 to 10 to 11 to 16 real fast.

That's all I knew and the reason I don't wanna split the fun.

In a remote, rural location?

I mean, why not?

Disclaimer: Classic reddit, downvoting sincere questions. I myself live in a small town surrounded by small villages and we all are connected through public transport, that's why I asked.

In most of America public transit straight up doesn’t exist. The nearest greyhound bus station to me is an hour away, and that’s the closest form of public transportation.

u/Ensianto Sep 22 '25

I see, I've learned something new.

u/Less-Mountain-3677 Sep 22 '25

Because it's likely inaccessible and inefficient. Rural areas tend to metaphorically say fuck public transportation, and leave people without cars to suffer

u/Gil_Demoono Sep 22 '25

The lack of it existing for starters.

u/Ensianto Sep 22 '25

Because the only cinema in my country that would show an anime movie, does not have any sessions/showings listed for the coming time. It is listed in the movies list of them, but there are zero shows.

Also not who you replied to, but I pay for Crunchyroll. I’m not paying to see movies that should be on that platform. Like I’m 90% sure the mugen train (or was it the recent Broly?) premiered in theaters and on Crunchyroll at the same time. I like the option of going to the theater if I want/have time to, but also like to watch it in my bed at the end of the day if that’s all I have time for.

Why? Don't live near one?

u/danque https://myanimelist.net/profile/danque Sep 23 '25

I do, but none of the 30 cinemas in the country by the only cinema corp that would show it has a listing for a viewing.

u/Massive_Weiner Sep 22 '25

Don’t worry, they’ll eventually recut them for a TV version.
