Do you think every Anime will be popular if they start with a 90 minute 1st episode?

I don't mean the reincarnation part, its the context surrounding all of it. *SPOILERS* The guy reincarnates as the son of the idol he basically worships (along with a former patient of his) and then she is murdered and he starts a revenge quest looking for the true culprit. That kind of sounds like a unique premise to me, but I don't know, maybe there is an anime with a similar start.


variation in the reincarnation theme does not make it unique
So no battle shonen is unique because they are all about fighting, right? Worst logic ever. Also no romance is unique because they are all about two people falling in love, and no sports anime is unique because they are all about playing sports. That is one aspect of the story, not the whole thing. Jujutsu Kaisen is very different to FMAB, yet they are both considered a battle shonen.

No, the secret is to adapt a popular Manga.

90min episodes are first and foremost to finish volumes faster. I find it tiring depending of the show. My answer is "maybe?", I would need more personal examples.

Than stop acting like a fanboy.

saying anime fans are dogs

I said that they are like dogs - attracted to smelly things. I this case attracted to melodrama.

does come off as saying "I'm better than everyone else"

If I say I prefer foxes...are those superior or inferior to dogs...because it doesn't matter since it's was a metaphor.

Would anime be more popular if they started with a movie is basically what you're asking....Probably not. Picture a slow burn show, something a lot of people already have trouble getting through, starting with a movie length episode. If Steins;Gate started that way, I would have never even finished the first episode. I had a hard enough time getting through the longer episodes of Hellsing Ultimate, and that was far from a slow burn.

it probably also needs
- Good animation
- Marketable Waifu
- Is a prologue to the rest of the show
- Hard hitting emotional moment

If something like 3 gatsu or monster got a 90 min premier ep no one give a shit because they'd find it too boring
A 90 minutes episode wouldn't work with Monster, but an 80 minutes would, the first 4 episodes are excellent for a Seinen.
