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.

I.e. Lawson, a convenience goods chain operator, has released
https://youtu.be/XCeIW5G2C_o

50 kinds of onigiri rice balls
https://youtu.be/hwZoa9MqaPk

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.

Update

2. Spirited Away 31.68 bill. Yen
1. Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Ressha Hen 32.47 bill. Yen


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
daemons during the red chinese one.
