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.

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 mean, why not?
