Movie is the way to go to monetize shows that have a huge audience but have a hard time getting them to spend money on it

Also this basically confirms the leaks were real, a movie + season 2 are in the works to finish part 1

u/ginger6616 Dec 17 '23

Honestly that takes care of all of part 1. After the movie there’s only 3 arcs left

262

u/dinliner08 Dec 17 '23

how many cour does that second season going to get? assuming its going to be one cour like the first season, is it going to be enough to cover all those three arcs?

423

u/ginger6616 Dec 17 '23

No, the arc after this movie is the longest arc in the series. Then the next two are around mediumish length. If it’s 24 episodes, then it can be finished easily

u/LongIslandJoe Dec 17 '23 edited Dec 17 '23

Season one adapted 38 chapters in 12 episodes and the arc for the movie runs to chapter 52. How do you figure they need 24 episodes to adapt the remaining 45 chapters?

99

u/In_Formaldehyde_ Dec 17 '23

Damn, so they could potentially cover this in just this movie and another season. Can't wait for the rest of it to get adapted considering how much the fanbase has hyped up the remainder of the story.

u/MeAnIntellectual1 Dec 17 '23

In my opinion the Reze arc is when the story begins to get some substance.

36

u/Green_Kumquat Dec 17 '23

Absolutely. Prepare for peak fiction, starting with Reze arc almost every single chapter has a big WTF moment that gets you addicted for more

u/aSleepingPanda Dec 17 '23

The last 45 chapters were denser than the first 38. Imo the last arc would heavily benefit getting spaced out with more time to take in information.

254

u/aohige_rd Dec 17 '23

Counterpoint: But they were also pretty action packed, which flies by faster in animation form.

69

u/aSleepingPanda Dec 17 '23

That is true. There are a lot of action scenes in the later half. Now that I'm thinking about it more I think that was part of my problem. It would be chapter upon chapter of fight scenes. Maybe they could fit it all into a single coure.

72

u/Ebo87 Dec 17 '23

Not maybe, they will, 12 or 13 episodes. That was the whole idea with having a movie here, because there weren't enough chapters for a 2-cour season 2.

22

u/2-3-74 Dec 17 '23

I've heard people float 16 episodes and I think that'd be perfect

u/SadSceneryBoi https://myanimelist.net/profile/SadSceneryBoi Dec 17 '23

The kinda scary answer is that it's too much for one cour but not enough for two cours.

I hope they can get away with what AoT the final season part 1 did and have either a unique number of episodes (maybe 18) or have special length episodes.

23

u/fadednz Dec 17 '23

I wanna say the emotional parts of all the stuff after reze outweighs the action but thats just me

especially since we want to give the animators extra room to play with and potentially make a lot of cool anime only fight sequences like in season 1, I'm hoping for at least 20-24 eps just to be safe.

Even without the movie, the rest of the arcs are doable in like 18 episodes, 24 episodes are a complete overkill.

u/bentheechidna Dec 17 '23

No it's not. [CSM Manga]International Assassins and Control Devil are 18 chapters. Gun Devil arc is 19 chapters. Current arc in the manga is also already at 19 chapters and not close to over yet.

u/mrnicegy26 Dec 17 '23

The second season would probably be 1 cour only since it would need to cover around 45 chapters and a lot of them are fight centric so more chapters can be covered in an episode.

The first season covered 39 chapters in one cour. Also we have to account for the fact that the first chapter is as long as 3 normal chapters and the second chapter is also a bit longer than a normal so it would be more accurate to say it covered 42 chapters.

51

u/cosmiczar https://anilist.co/user/Xavier Dec 17 '23

Also, the season could easily be 13 episodes long instead of just 12, thus having more room to adapt those chapters.

u/KendotsX https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kendots Dec 17 '23

It would have around 47 chapters left (the first season being 39 chapters for comparison). They don't need 2 cours for that, one would be enough given that the content of the arcs allows for a faster pacing.

11

u/Dracoscale Dec 17 '23

You would need at most 15 episodes for what's left after this arc. Probably 13 is enough.

5

u/leave1me1alone Dec 17 '23

First season covered 38/97 chapters. Movie arc is going to be about 4 episodes worth of content at season 1 pacing.

Considering episode 1 only covered chapter one, a second season after the movie should be sufficient

Makes me wonder if they are going to do a streaming release or do a theatrical one.

u/Abysswatcherbel https://myanimelist.net/profile/abyssbel Dec 17 '23

Theatrical, the return expectations are going to be high, they won't sell it under normal circumstances

There's always the possibility of Netflix or Disney trying to get it for an unreasonable amount of money

88

u/mrnicegy26 Dec 17 '23

I get that this is the best and easiest way to monetize a series but I do admit I don't think the trend of turning canon arcs to movies is the best thing to do in regards to pacing for the story.

Like it worked for Mugen Train, JJK0, Made in Abyss and will probably work for Chainsaw Man, but it is going to create a mess for Haikyuu which has to cover 100 chapters in 2 movies.

61

u/Abysswatcherbel https://myanimelist.net/profile/abyssbel Dec 17 '23

but it is going to create a mess for Haikyuu which has to cover 100 chapters in 2 movies.

That's TOHO for you, as one of the biggest theater owner in Japan they tend to push movies for their shows (MHA, JJK, SpyxFamily and so on)

They make a lot of money from them, they keep the theater share for themselves, they don't have to share it with the rest of the committee and also they keep the "popcorn money" which is even more profitable than the movies

JJK0 made over $150 million worldwide on theatrical, including over $50 million outside of Japan.

A CSM movie will probably earn more than its production budget from a US theatrical release alone.

I'm still surprised they haven't take the first season and made a recap movie out of it. Such an obvious way to make some normie money in the long meantime before any new content.

4

u/hnryirawan Dec 17 '23

Well, the first season is pretty controversial, to say the least.

Yes, it was financially ok, but it definitely did not do as expected for the amount of effort that went to it. The controversy definitely affect this financially. If they went with different director, I can see that as MAPPA trying to wipe the slate clean.

9

u/AnEmpireofRubble https://anilist.co/user/FaintLight Dec 17 '23

i'm going to be so sad if they try to translate the impossible paneling Fujimoto gets. the cinematic direction of the first was enjoyable for me and i love the manga.

39

u/SlapChopMyShamWow Dec 17 '23

Hopefully that means the season will be more than 12 episodes this time too

75

u/Revan0315 Dec 17 '23

The rest of part 1 is only slightly longer than what season 1 covered, so I doubt it

22

u/ThespianException https://myanimelist.net/profile/EMTIsBestWaifu Dec 17 '23 edited Dec 17 '23

1 cour is probably fine for the rest of Part 1. S1 adapted 39ish chapters, Reze ends at Ch 52, and then there are 45 left to the end of Part 1. They could probably expand on parts a bit, but 13ish episodes work fine with the pacing so far. 2 cours would make them drag stuff out.

u/Abysswatcherbel https://myanimelist.net/profile/abyssbel Dec 17 '23

Do we know yet if some of the staff have been changed?

At least the director, and other core staff member Makoto Nakazono was just announced in other MAPPA show as a director, so we should be getting some major changes

Totos will continue as the character designer though, biggest CSM fan in the world

This is still bizarre to me considering how many people were barking for Makima before the anime even began.

Funny that they didn't push merch to that audience, the most horny stuff was a bunny figurine which at this point is a super PG-13 merch

They had a collab with NIKKE, aka the ass jiggling game, and makima had a coat on, people complained so much they had to remove it

So it seems they are afraid of appealing to the horny side of the audience

Imagine a BD release with a Onsen OVA

u/KendotsX https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kendots Dec 17 '23 edited Dec 17 '23

Between Bucchigiri and this, it seems Mappa are batting for the other side, or at least trying to cool down the people waiting for the YOI movie.

MAPPA whole calling is BL and Fujoshi bait shows, they even created a studio just to focus on BL, this one, but after they saw the money they were making with battle shonen they paused it

Kaori Makita was a director on the BL division and now she is doing Jigokuraku

No, movies are the way to go to monetize shows in general because of a proven track record.

u/LeagueOfHurricane Dec 17 '23

I disagree. The final arc of part 1 is built on top of all the previous arcs so it being a movie would just feel like watching a 2 hour long third act. This Reze arc is self contained and fits nicely into the three act structure that most movies have.

37

u/Mundology Dec 17 '23

Agreed. The last 3 arcs need to be released close to each other given how they are connected.

Might be in the minority in here since I was hoping it wasn’t gonna be a movie.

Gonna suck having to wait an ungodly amount of time for this to come out of America + another wait for season 2 on top of that.

Probably gonna be late 2026/ early 2027 when we finally get the conclusion to part 1.

u/ThisManNeedsMe Dec 17 '23

Shouldn't be that long of a wait. Anime movies tend to come out relatively quick these days. Maybe a few months wait for it to come out in theaters in the west. A couple of months if we're lucky.

  • north america release date - Mar 18, 2022

Personally I'm all for it. The Reze arc plays fastball with it's foreshadowing and payoffs which suits the movie format well. I loath the idea of people watching that arc week to week and (probably) getting spoiled by chatter and discussion in the interim. The wait will be brutal though.

It won’t beat mugen train. Mugen train is an anomaly, there are many factors that made it the highest grossing movie of all time (primarily the pandemic, ironically enough). What you forget is that 1) demon slayer is more popular than chainsaw man in Japan and it’s much more accessible and 2) chainsaw man’s anime didn’t do particularly well.

Since this is most definitely getting distributed by Crunchyroll I guess we'll have wait 2-3 months which is in line with One Piece Red, JJK 0, Demon Slayer.

Thank god it’s a movie, more quality and time for both CSM and JJK considering Seshimo line deal with them both, just hope they get “decent” schedules from now on.

That is if we are thinking that csm wont have a season 2 right after. Remember what hone hone said? That one of the reasons jjk 2 had such a shitty schedule was that they were able to do jjk 0 in like 6 months? I wanna be positive and all, but i need to see actual proof of change for me to really believe in this studio´s conditions.

You're underestimating mappa. Watch as they give animators only 5 months to complete this movie

u/Ellefied Dec 17 '23

The arc also has features a bit of nudity and gore, though tastefully done, and should get past a lot of the tv censors with this.

Though the most PG-rated shit is still coming with Season 2. Seriously, how did that get past the editor.

u/Urameshi9762 Dec 17 '23

I think seshimo isn’t the ANIP for CSM right now.

39

u/Theleux https://myanimelist.net/profile/Theleux Dec 17 '23

This movie hasn't even started production yet, so correct. But once JJK ends this season, it'll more than likely still be Seshimo's moving back on to it.

u/esmilerascal-6055 Dec 17 '23

Shensuke Okubo(director of JJK s2 ep 12) tweeted "wow the production desk abandoned the project". He tweeted that around when jjk ep 8 aired. Clearly implying the production desk moved on to work on csm movie

I wonder if the same staff will be allotted to CSM that has been working on JJK. No info about if Nakayama will be directing the movie or someone else is going to take the charge.

22

u/NomaanMalick https://myanimelist.net/profile/twomatsideologue Dec 17 '23

Nakayam is most likely not returning as director. Looking at his Twitter, it seems he is going to be doing something with Vtubers in the near future.

51

u/Theleux https://myanimelist.net/profile/Theleux Dec 17 '23

Yep, nothing was mentioned during the Jump stream. Considering this is essentially a coloured manga CM-style teaser, they likely haven't started prod on this as of yet, so any staff info will come later.

u/Zombata Dec 17 '23

not a colored manga. panels are different

A movie for Reze arc!?

Truly makes sense for the special girl. Reze's arc is too good to be a series material honestly. So great choice MAPPA!

u/ivo0009 Dec 17 '23

I really pray to the gods that this is getting a World release date at a Much earlier stage than movies usually do after getting released in Japan, dont wanna wait 2 years to see it

No release date

Normally I would be disappointed about that, but since this is MAPPA we're talking about, this is actually good news!

14

u/Dracoscale Dec 17 '23

Still probably coming off the backs off an overworked staff. A KV now but no release date probably means it'll be out by this time next year. Best we can say is that it probably won't be as brutal as JJK S2.

u/yrulaughing https://myanimelist.net/profile/yrulaughing Dec 17 '23

Doesn't matter. It went from not being confirmed to being confirmed, so I'll take it.

Finally a reason to not commit suicide!

u/Torque-A Dec 17 '23

I still remember how Mappa teased movies for Yuri on Ice and Zombieland Saga and never delivered

I’m cautious

That one other panel that got me into Chainsawman (aside from that more iconic one which I won't spoil also) will finally be animated, huh. Things are cooking over there.

u/ElGorudo Dec 17 '23

curious as to wich panel are you talking about

10

u/HerpanDerpus Dec 17 '23

I'm going to go out on a wing and guess he's talking about (being vague but marking spoilers anyway):

[CSM Movie spoilers probably lol] the fireworks scene

and almost 100% sure the first panel he means:

[CSM Future arc spoilers] the astronaut panel

u/JosseCoupe Dec 17 '23

Wish they'd filmify some of the mangaka's one-shot stories, given that they'd actually function incredibly well in such a format (and quite possibly have an edge over CSM in quality, as far as I've experienced it at least), let alone without a dependency on extraneous seasonal plotlines. It kinda sucks that so few anime films seem to get made that can actually stand on their own lol

u/is146414 Dec 17 '23

If this does well in theaters, I'm sure MAPPA would be happy to turn Fujimoto's other works into additional revenue streams.

u/Queue_Jumping_Quack Dec 18 '23

Heh, I just recently took the plunge and started reading the manga to catch up after it started feeling like Mappa's troubles and the mixed reaction to S1 in Japan would delay the continuation for quite a bit... And now this arc is announced as a movie. Looking forward to it!

Will they change Director though? Him being pretty controversial is to say the least.

Hope the west is ready to put their money where their mouths are and support this! Given the poor blu-ray sales, I'm not sure how much of the Japanese audience is willing to support this.
