| Overlord recap films are also in database. |
| The demon slayer movies had zero effort put into them. Like, they didn't even cut the credits for each episode and made you sit through all of them. |
| I was going to make a thread about this as well. Demon slayer has compilation movies and it has promotional movies with new content as well. Not much different from this or other entries that people have mentioned. I still don't know who made the decision to delete the Demon slayer movie entries and keep all other recap movies. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

| @FZREMAKE This also goes to the OP as a response to the topic, but: The difference is that most recap/compilation movies tend to have a lot of editing work put into them in order to fit many parts of the story into a single package; and sometimes they'll have minor changes and/or additions such as bonus scenes, and new opening and ending sequences. Those kinds of differences from their TV series counterparts is what justifies them having their own separate database entries. The Demon Slayer world tour promo movies, on the other hand, had none of that. There was practically no editing work done to them as they were literally just 3 full-length Episodes stitched together. No new OP or ED sequences were added because they didn't bother to edit out the preexisting ones from the actual show. No new extra scenes were added either. And previewing the first episode of the next season hardly counts as "added content", since people who didn't watch the movie are gonna see the new episode anyway once the season starts airing proper, so said content is not exclusive to the comp movie. You can literally recreate the effect of watching the DS comp movies yourself by just selecting Episode 10 of either Season 3 or 4 on your preferred streaming platform and letting it autoplay for 3 episodes. Heck, I'm pretty sure those movies can't even be found online because they didn't get an official home release, since there's really nothing there to incentivize a purchase; the theater experience was their real selling point. If Bluray versions and/or Director's Cut versions of certain titles (with actual art/animation improvements and extra scenes) don't have their own entries on MAL, then I don't see why something as minimal effort as the DS comp movies should have them. |

| @Orororurando So additional content or having an Op and stuff is the factor for having an entry here? These movies were promoted as separate entries that's why I still believe it should have a separate entry, especially when it already had one but got removed. These films made quite a lot of money as well so they are important in multiple ways. It was a theatrical release. Not some special screening. I haven't watched the Overlord or Made in abyss recap movies so I don't know if they have additional content and stuff but they are still recap at the end of the day. |

| @FZREMAKE It's not just about having additional scenes or a new OP & ED. Don't forget about the editing; that's a keyword here. Recap/compilation movies are supposed to offer a different experience from the TV series in large part because of the way they're edited. That's the main point against the DS comp movies being considered as stand-alone entries; they weren't edited at all. They were literally just 3 full episodes back to back. That's barely even a recap. Recaps generally tend to cover at least a full arc or season's worth of content. Yeah, I do remember that those movies initially had entries on MAL, but I figure that's just because back then nobody knew the exact details of their content until they actually released in theaters, so the mods just let them be. Once they came out and everybody who saw them confirmed that they were just 3 Eps. stitched together, the mods probably decided that they weren't worth their own entries due to them lacking any sort of unique factor. I haven't watched Overlord at all, nor the MiA recap movies yet, so I have no opinion on those either. But if I had to point out a shining example of a recap/compilation movie that absolutely stands on its own, it's the Gurren Lagann duology. They each have around 20 mins. worth of added content and a bunch of altered scenes. The final battles in each were also completely redone and are totally different from the TV series. They're the golden standard of recap movies imho. Anyway, that's just how MAL does things with these kinds of titles. I remember that there used to be an entry for "Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn", which was a preview of the first 2 Eps. of the series that was shown in theaters. I managed to find it online and had set it as "Completed", then one day it was just gone. It is what it is *shrug* |
