Dragonball, Detective Conan, and Doraemon are the top grossing animated films due to being for families. Animation has been flopping since the 90s because they were high concept and poor execution, or animators have abandoned family friendly entertainment for drama and critics.

If you want a more specific example: Transformers The Movie killing off Optimus Prime to promote Rodimus ended up traumatizing children. It's a shame because the movie has a solid narrative that crumbles due to the tonal shift between serious and goofy.

No it didn't.

This.

I'm not sure what you're trying to tell us, OP.

I wasn't traumatized, but I'm sure I'd be absolutely pissed if I were watching the show back then.

The problem never was 2d but lefty writers trying to shove their cuck politics into everything

Just a thought, but doesn’t piggybacking off a successful manga hep guarantee a profit?

Kek it just surpassed onward as the top grossing animated film of the year

What's wrong with Sony marketing?

>Dragonball, Detective Conan, and Doraemon are the top grossing animated films due to being for families.
Uhh yea, I don't think that applies to Demon Slayer.
It's aiming squarely for the 10-16 year old boy demographic.
Which is hilarious considering it's made by a woman.

You don't even know shit about Kimetsu, do you?

Oh for reals? I find that surprising because the female characters basically don't do anything.

A decent amount of shonen is made by women.
Pic related for instance.
I think it's a cultural difference, Jap women don't mind making a story centered around a male character, whereas white women tend to want to make everything about them or their self-insert.

It's the difference between telling your STORY and telling YOUR story.

That's not Arakawa, you mong

Post a picture of her.

white women are completely useless talentless scum. though white men dont really make stories with cute girls either, whereas japanese men make tons of those

I knew about FMA, but in Demon Slayer's case I do find it a bit odd. FMA has Winry, Olivier, Lust, etc. Cool gals who do cool shit and move the plot forward. Demon Slayer's main female is rendered mute from the start and the potential love interest is that autistic chick who barely talks either.

I don't want to read too much into it or make assumptions, but what I had in my head initially was that it was written by some dude who literally did not know how to write women. Maybe this lady doesn't know how to write women either. Or maybe it was an editorial thing, wanting to focus harder on the male audience. Not that there's inherently anything wrong with any of that, but it is just a wee bit odd to me.

Like I said, it's more just that it's written by a Jap women and Jap women don't always need to make everything about their specific gender.
Those characters are kind of glossed over because the story isn't about them and at the end of the day the only female in the story who really matters all that much is Nezuko and maybe the poison sisters.
It's pretty bog standard shonen, but it's clearly done an excellent job of appealing to its audience, something that western properties seem to have forgotten how to do.

I feel like I’ve been hearing that 2D is gonna die for over 2 decades

Kimetsu no Yaiba female characters are responsible for the victories at the end of the manga, many sacrificed themselves
you really read it to the end?

In fact they prefer 2d and 3d together

I hate progressives as much as you but really, normies in the west don''t like 2D even with western designs, they like 3D CGI because they think it still looks sleek, advanced and new, only Japan thinks different, even other Asian countries like Korea and china, while they make great 2D still consider their 3D cgi films their most important flagships.

>Kimetsu no Yaiba female characters are responsible for the victories at the end of the manga
Oh wait you're serious

>Japanese milestone

It's fucking nothing

>go to Transformers the Movie
>the characters you wanted to see only exist for the first 15 minutes
>they get replaced by the COOL NEW CHARACTERS BUY EM NOW
I didn't know Hideo Kojima got his start working on Transformers.

>FMA has Winry, Olivier, Lust, etc. Cool gals who do cool shit and move the plot forward.
None of those characters do shit

Probably the biggest disappointment with Disney, everyone thought that today we would have high level animations from Fantastic Four, X-Men, Spider-Man and they only produce low budget animations for little tiny children while Japan does the opposite and makes the manga increase sales in addition to marketing products

Without her there would be no victory

Disgusting.
$150 million in like 2 weeks in Japan alone is pretty fucking insane, user.

Even if they don't, which I would argue, their presence in the series is significant. They are forces of personality. Larger than life. I cannot say the same about any of the ladies in Demon Slayer.
