  • Kimetsu no Yaiba: A Great success

    From Arne Luft@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 2 00:17:26 2020
    It looks as if the anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba" aka "Demon Slayer" is a
    big success in profits for the companies, which were involved.

    Naomi Matsuoka, who is in charge of Sony's Finance, said , the anime
    is contributing to their business.

    Of the manga have been sold over 100 million copies sofar. The new
    movie "Mugen Train" is the fastest movie ever, which made 10 billion
    Yen in just 10 days. The fastest bevor was "Spirited Away", which
    needed 24 days to reach this figure.

    A lot of companies have jumped in, and sell merchandise.

    A part of the world wide success is the streaming on several services
    like netflix, amazon prime, funimation and so on. It is watchable in
    100 countries and there are a big number of fans, especially in times
    like this.

    country’s fifth highest earning film.

    It obviously matches people's feelings right now.

    50 kinds of onigiri rice balls

    flavored to match the image of the characters of the movie. 10 miilion
    rice balls were sold in the first 10 days.

    Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management said, Kimetsu no Yaiba will generate
    economic effects of 200 billion yen "at least".

    The COVID crisis has played a big part in the series' success, many
    say. People are limited in their ability to enjoy themselves. It also
    reduced the range of products with creative content.

    Furthermore, it doesn't look like there is any competition to Kimetsu
    no Yaiba at the moment.

    Kimetsu no Yaiba has till Dec,3th generated 270 Bill. Yen (2.61 bill.
    US-$) with merchandise from toys to canned coffee (Source: Dai-Ichi
    Life Research Institute).

    That's the Japanese way to handle COVID.


    Btw, there is a fundamental difference in how Western peoples, as
    opposed to Japanese, handle their own inability. Westerners tend to
    become more and more arrogant and know-it-all as their inability
    increases. This is known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

    An example from politics is the German government - I am a German -
    which repeats big mistakes and lets themselves be celebrated when they
    can reduce the consequences of their mistakes a little.


    Japanese, on the other hand, try to make up for their deficiency
    through learning and effort. They see underachievement (failure) as an opportunity to improve their abilities at a given task. https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2F0022-3514.81.4.599



    This way of dealing with problems in Japan like now with Kimetsu no
    Yaiba is not the first time that a catastrophe has contributed to the
    success of a Manga or Anime. A similar change in thinking was
    reflected in Shingeki no Kyojin, which appeared after the financial
    crisis and is still successful today.


    Have a nice day.

    It has become the second title attracting more than 2 million
    moviegoers in South Korea in 2021, box office data showed Monday.

    It is the second film released in 2021 to hit 2 million in the
    country, following the Disney-Pixar fantasy animated film "Soul."

    Well, what vampires have been during the Spanish flu seem to be
