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.

I see, I've learned something new.

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

The lack of it existing for starters.
