This movie is probably one of a few rare cases where I want to rewatch something right after I finished it. It's simply an amazing watch that makes me want to experience it in theater once more. Beyond amazing animation and visual, very VERY good directing and music choice... I wholeheartedly appreciate every single staff involved in the making of this "1 in 10 movies".

I can't wait to rewatch it again someday...

I loved this movie so much. The character animation was the highlight for me despite how high profile everything else looked and the high standard the movie kept at all times. PeakPeakPeak.

This film was utterly gorgeous. I find it pleasing how the score is 9/10 on MAL atm, becuase although the negative reviews are what I expected coming out of the theatre, they seem to be soooooo much more rare than I expected. I should say I only expected them because the person I watched it with also claimed there was "no plot", it wasn't something I thought myself. Honestly, those claiming there's no plot should go watch Demon Slayer, if they need the characters to yap for 50 minutes about what's happening and repeat the same lines over and over again. This shit was important for Denji, probably easily the most important and powerful thing that's happened to him in the anime so far. It was beautiful, perfectly directed, and left me feeling incredibly empty. Loved it.

Thread cleaned. Please keep the discussion civil and stay on topic, this is a discussion about the movie, nothing else.
Take your drama elsewhere, because nobody wants to read that.

@-DxP- I personally disagree because you did remove the fake accounts when I showed them.

That means that I was correct with my assessment that there is positive review bombing.

@Confused_100

Just give up with reporting positive review bombing because then the same could apply for negative review bombing mate. But who cares abt scores at the end of the day.

Nope. And I am not going to debate about this anymore to escape the coward reporting that happened earlier.

I will keep doing what I am doing, where I proved my point with what happened to fake accounts. You do what you doing. Now enjoy the movie. Have a nice day

things i dont want to forget about this movie: reze and denji's sweet teenage romance (hopefully denji gets what he deserves eventually...when he was left waiting with the bouquet of flowers....SHUT UP~this isn't to say that i don't think reze shouldn't have died. she should. lots of innoncent people died because of her. but this doesn't make it any less heartbreaking for denji), shark boy made me laugh my ass off, especially when i realized it was tanjiro's VA (if denji had been paired with power he'd died so bad😭), aki's scream 'i dont want to die yet' and the fact that i dont trust makima at all, even less than any other demon or enemy. but yeah, i just wished this was on my local cinema because it would have blown my brains ten times more. i loved it

@Confused_100 Positive review bombing isn’t unique to CSM. It happens with almost every popular anime, new releases always attract waves of hype-driven ratings. In fact, there are far bigger franchises than CSM that have received way more positive review bombing. CSM isn’t some special case, it’s just experiencing what every high-profile anime does.

Again won’t debate on this but as of right now? CSM is getting more positive review bombing. Is it a special case? Nope, but it could turn to one and there are boundaries/cases where it is easy to identify. This is one of them.

Note: 1s don’t count anymore. Because somehow I am getting this regularly as if it is a counter point.

From now on, just in case anyone else responds to me: I will not respond to this. Will only expose any of those accounts from now on. Enjoy the movie and have a nice day, everyone.

Call me crazy but your account is 5 days ago, you gave too many ratings. Only replied in CSM movie posts and gave it a 10. Botted name. It’s like you are ticking all the boxes I was talking about lol

Conclusion: fake account. Don’t self report next time, bro.

Edit: the fake account replied thinking I was saying it was a bot lol. Then proceeded to talk about DS… You know the movie that didn’t even get this high but sure. Starting to see a pattern and reason why community got insecure enough to do this though.

You really are a fascinating individual and I'm lovin it! keep it up bro. Make CSM more popular than it already is. You're legit the funniest person I've ever seen in all animanga fandom especially X.

Anyways, jealousy is in everybody's soul no matter the circumstances so it's perfectly normal >_<

@Confused_100 wow u just assumed im a bot account cause its my first time creating an account on this site and only reply comments in CSM posts. Dude CSM and DS are the newest hot thing right now and i genuinely liked CSM movie more than DS movie. If i was a bot then i would've given CSM season 1, movie and manga all 10 and DS all 1. First learn to distinguish between bot account and normal account

Seeing this getting animated got me into tears. MAPPA did an amazing job and I am very happy that my favorite character Reze was brought to life by this movie perfectly! I am very thankful for Tatsuki Fujimoto for creating this wonderful character that I love! Overall *no biased btw* I give it a 10/10 for sure! Worth the watch and the music is incredible too! Reze best girl!!!

I didn't like the first half very much, as I thought it was too similar to the manga, though I really enjoyed the second half and it's animation. Though the 3D was a little iffy, it just really stinks they changed the art style and animation style so much just for it to still have 3D animation. Overall I thought it was great!

@acidic_water there is little sense to ask it on global forum, where nobody knows where are you from, how is your local cinema situation etc.

If you are from USA, R rating is actually 17+ not 18+ so you are ok.
If you are from different country, you need to check age rating yourself, because it’s not universal. Age restrictions differ from country to country.

And at last, I’m not endorsing it, but man… I don’t believe it’s so strict that you even need to worry about it. But again, I can imagine that in some countries it is more serious thing, but in this case it’s on you to check the waters.

Having read the manga already , waiting 3 years as worth every single penny in the theatre , this was mind fucking blowing , the slice of life animation , the camera angles , the voice acting , the choreography , the music , the visuals , the story , I am utterly speechless at what I just witnessed , the ticket price should have been higher and it would still feel less for what I get to see , without a single flashback shown the story conveyed is so great , hits you right where it hurts , I would absolutely rewatch this in theatres again . Even knowing the ending panel by panel , it was still shattering , being killed right in front of him when she finally started feeling any form of emotion for the first time... 100/10

thanks, man. I appreciate you for talking about it. I'm from a South East Asian country, and that's why I'm so worried about the rating system

@Jockeys

Iris Out is literally the Opening, that you can watch officially on Youtube:

https://youtu.be/ux3QETpLcPs?si=QQ5IzJp_SsPTCSQs

Jane Doe just starts at the end with the credits, literally an ED.

The only insert song I recall is the ED3 from the first season, but this time the full version. Banger.
