It is so clear that a ton of people never watched the movie, and aren't going to do it.

this show's popularity has taken a hit after the movie.

some people for some random reason that I never understood, disliked the recaps demon slayer did for the movie, but I firmly believe that they had no idea what they were talking about.

I think made in abyss needed something like that too.

I mean just look, made in abyss season 1 and classroom of the elite season 1 came out at the same season. season 1 of made in abyss, has 300,000 more members than classroom of the elite season 1, and is more positively received since unlike COTE manga readers don't complain about it.

yet season 2 is less popular than the season 2 of that show.

I really think they should have done it.

idk what to tell you man, but it's true there are 200,000 people who completed the movie here on mal, which is less than a third of season 1, which was 750,000,

there is always a drop of viewership between seasons, but that drop is way bigger when it's a movie for some reason.

the release of the movie was quite exclusiv and you can only watch illegal so makes sense why it lacks in popularity.The recap movies did also cause some confusion

I was about to say that, thats the only reason I dislike anime movies, it takes so much time to come to exterior, its almost a year

boku no hero movie 3, 1 year to air since the announcement or the trailer, and once it was out took 8 months to get in my country, and even later to come into digital media

I think the reason they made that part a movie is because its so dark it wouldn't be allowed to air or at least thats what i heard. They probably didn't want to risk and thats why they didn't air that arc

yep that's probably it, which is why I think a tv format recap would have been great.

the movie isn't even that long, if people bother look anything up online they would see that it's a sequel to the second and lead up to the first. seriously

we aren't that many episodes into the 2nd season, anyone can freely catch up on the movie and then proceed to the 2nd season watching it weekly if they want to. or, like many fans do, they will wait until the whole season is released and then binge it. lots of people do that, the numbers will get boosted when they do

if anyone wants to watch the movie, the re ap movies and the 3rd movie are on Hidive

Yeah this arc is definitely harsher in my opinion… But I agree with you, I personally wouldn’t have been mad at doing a recap in tv format, then starting season 2 directly afterwards like Demon Slayer did. I also don’t get why people were mad over that, they even added more content to it and cleaned it up even more. There’s been so many threads of people wondering if they need to watch the movie, so I believe you’re definitely right. But sadly they didn’t and this wonderful series took a bit harsher of a popularity hit.

it doesn't really matter if what people do or not do makes sense or not.

I watched the movie, you probably did, but the truth of the matter is that many didn't.

we saw how the demon slayer recaps helped the momentum of the series, and this would have been the exact same.

in fact, this needed it way more, since it never came out in cinemas due to covid.

I loved the movie personally, I just think Made in Abyss is market poorly. Plus its not available anywhere easy in the US

I fully understood why they re-released mugan train as a TV show it made sense on several levels and people just complained. Should they have re-released the Made in Abyss movie as a TV short? Sure they could have. Did they? No. But its not hard to watch a movie after season 1 and then go to season 2. Also season 1 might have filtered out a lot the people that had a lot of problems with its graphic content.

I mean, if people are wanting to watch Made in Abyss S2 but are too braindead to watch the movie that leads into the second season, I don't think taking time recapping the movie would do any good. Smooth brains like that can't be helped.

I do think you're sweating waaaaay too much about something insignificant. Made in Abyss S2 only has 20k less members than Classroom of the Elite S2, but it's score is substantially higher, and is even higher than Made in Abyss S1 despite not even being halfway over. This matters far more to a shows popularity than how many members it has.

Take something like Rent-a-Girlfriend S2 for instance. It currently has the third highest number of members for the season, but it's score is abysmal. When people look at that, they're not looking at the number of people watching to determine if they should as well. They're looking at the score to see if the general reception of the show is good enough to warrant getting into the series.

Score is far more indicative of a shows popularity than its members, and Made in Abyss S2 is the highest scored show of the season, so there's no reason to waste time doing something like recapping a movie that should've already been watched before Made in Abyss S2. If a bunch of doughy babies get into S2 without watching the movie, that's their problem and not worth making a whole thread about.

I don’t think so. Why would someone be opposed to watching a film rather than a film cut into 24 minute chunks?

Also the second instalment of Made in Abyss is the film and that’s more popular than COTE season 2. This shows quite brutal and not for everyone. COTE is simple and easy to watch, I wouldn’t be surprised if people drop Made in Abyss because I know people that wouldn’t watch them because it’s too gruesome and dark for them.

popularity is literally all about how many members a show has

Im honestly surprised the numbers for MiA arent higher, its a very recent modern classic. Most people only started watching S1 after the season was over because word spread its amazing.

My guess is MiA has a more adult fanbase and those dont watch seasonals up to date as much. Lets see how the numbers for MiA and Cote develope over time.

PS: the only potential problem I could see with the movie format is licensing issues. The movie only got its english release last year. And for some reason I cant comprehend kids these days seem to care about watching anime on officials streaming services and movies often get neglected by those

Partially it's an accessibility issue and partially it's a desirability issue.

The third (and only relevant, non-recap) film came out at the beginning of 2020 in January of that year. I remember I was looking forward to it as it was only released then in Japan, but was slated to have a premiere in many U.S. theaters some months later in the spring. Including the Japanese language audio, English subtitled version. And including in a theater local to me which is right in the next town over. And it would have been my first anime film seen in theaters in a while. Then the global coronavirus pandemic hit and the movie theaters were all closed for a year or more. I personally haven't been back to the movie theaters ever since and I have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future, if ever. I didn't see the film until sometime in 2021 online.

The desirability factor is that some people consider films bonus content, just like special episodes released during different time slots or in different formats like OVA/ONA, and they're not willing to watch them if it's not for a series they're not extremely into and passionate about.

It's simple. Just rewatch the whole thing again, including the movie. It's only what 13 episodes and a movie? I finished all of that in two days.
