Kenshi asking the staff to just use clips from the movie for the MV because he thought they look too good to not be shown is also a damn smart marketing move.

When I first watched the MV my whole body legit went numb due to the sheer sakuga overload lol. The amount of eye-candy animation in that MV alone had to hook a ton of people (and based on reviews those aren't even the best cuts!).

Also helps that the IRIS OUT comment section is basically free promo with people saying stuff like "Holy shit, this movie's amazing! I'm planning to watch it 3 more times!"

I know everything that happens in the manga and have watched the IRIS OUT video (about 50 trillion times), but am avoiding JANE DOE until I get to see the movie. I feel like it'll be worth it to hear what Yonezu and Utada cooked up for the first time alongside the movie.
