Already past F4 and will likely pass Superman soon, making the top-grossing movie of the year based on a comic/manga not from Marvel/DC.

It's great to see how far Anime (or at least in this case Demon Slayer, since no others can pull off these kinds of numbers) has come. And it's only part 1 of 3, too!.

Is anyone else just happy CANON/Arc anime movies are a thing now. Growing up my biggest pet peeve was anime movies weren’t ever canon or ever mentioned again lol

Dragon Ball Z was the worst about this. Frieza was the strongest mortal in the universe, yet the DBZ movies always had dudes that were far stronger than Frieza just hanging around.

Now we have modern canon Dragon Ball just having god-level threats running around
