Senior animation expert: It's hard to tell why Demon Slayer is so popular

Recently, Japanese media published a new commentary article, discussing the recently popular "Demon Slayer" theatrical animation. It is difficult to tell why "Demon Slayer" is so popular, and the final box office in the future may reach 15 to 20 billion yen.

The reason why theatrical animation is so popular is “environment”.

The "Demon Slayer" theatrical animation box office reached 4.6 billion yen in 3 days, shocking everyone in the industry. The general reason given by industry analysis was the blank period caused by the epidemic, which is called "retaliatory" movie watching in China.

The reason why anime remains so popular is hard to understand.

Although it is said to be due to the "environment", it is actually a bit untenable. The media interviewed many senior people in the animation industry and they all said, "I really don't understand why animation has always been so popular."

Can the final box office surpass the strongest "Spirited Away"?

Currently, the Japanese industry is divided into two groups, the 15 billion yen group and the 20 billion yen group. The 15 billion yen group argues that the animation content is a bit difficult to understand and has some blood and violence; the 20 billion yen group argues that there are still no blockbuster movies released in November, and it is possible that the box office will not only be 20 billion, but also surpass the 30 billion of "Spirited Away".
