dividing an arc into a trilogy of films I consider it a bad choice not only for the long waits that this will entail, but also because the entire narrative will be abruptly interrupted 3 times in an arc which is a whole succession of events (and as if divided the Shibuya arc in jjk into 3 films, very questionable stuff would have come out of it), but beyond this 3 films are too few for everything that needs to be animated until the end of the manga (which are around 70 chapters with the last 2 very long chapters), I wouldn't want the 3 films to adapt the Infinity Castle arc and then rebroadcast it in installments to make more money and make the final battle against Muzan the season finale, because I'm afraid there's It's this risk, and honestly these marketing maneuvers of ufotable have bored us more than Mappa with the management of the final season of Aot

I don’t see how this is a bad move, considering how well mugen train done the amount of money ufotable could make from these movies is crazy.

Ever seen the Heavens feel trilogy.
This arc was made for movies. 3 main battles just long enough for 3 movies. The profit is going to be crazy.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

@deg I don't care who made the decision, it still remains a very questionable choice (like doing a season over a period of training) dictated only by wanting to milk the cow even more

@zSlayPaladin You can imagine how nice it would be to wait for years and break the narrative every time because the arc is divided into 3 parts ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Phantom_373 I know it's a marketing choice and I hope they earn as little as possible because making films based on manga arcs a trend just to earn more is becoming very annoying, but in any case as a choice it's really frustrating, it could easily have been a season long

@FZREMAKE It is a trilogy that cut many things, not giving the full potential that Heaven's feel could have been. Furthermore, no, this arc is perfect in episodes, dividing it into 3 films would only break the narrative and it would become frustrating to wait years each time for the next film. I hope they earn as little as possible because Ufotable has broken with these marketing ploys

Well I hope they earn as much as possible they deserve it they’re an incredible studio.

See you may be mad now but the end product of these 3 movies will be phenomenal.

And besides if we got a season it wouldn’t have the quality the movies would and they need a lot of time for this arc anyways because of how big it is.

@Phantom_373 the ideal would have been to do training + infinity castle together in a nice long season like jujutsu kaisen 2 and then a final season or final film with a battle with Muzan. Furthermore, it is not true that without the trilogy it would not have the same quality, i remind you that the pleasure district had a higher quality than mugen train which was a film. Also no, Ufotable does good work but with these always annoying marketing choices they make me say that they don't deserve all this money (and they have already made millions with demon slayer)

@StarWars2000 they have as much material to make a season as they want, the only reason for this choice is just to be able to milk the cow more which honestly, at this point, becomes just frustrating to watch (I don't know how anime only will be able to resist years for the whole the resulting wait)

You never fail to deliver the worst take possible.
I mean... Even if we wouldn't have an actual proof, which is Heaven's Feel trilogy, then you still would be wrong, because Ufo so far managed to make every choice right and nothing seems it would change
There is a reason why Mugen Train succeeded so hard, afterall.
But as it is now, it seems like you trying your best to be wrong about everything.

maybe it's due to their budget being a little lower than it was back then for the first movie or the the anime has to have lower budget than so they didn't have enough money to make a second another season

Well, duh. Mugen Train is THE most grossing anime film worldwide and broke many other records, so there is no reason why they would not do the same with Infinity Castle and Sunrise Countdown. Especially since this epilogue is a constant, high octane action with objectively best fights and if we add to them movie budget, we will be seeing a history in the making.

The audience has feelings attached to the story, but it is a business at the end of the day.
And they are going to make BANK.
For real though, I'm pretty hype about seeing the series end on the big screen.

Or imagine if Kizumonogatari would be a trilogy. Oh, wait.

Well, yes, nothing really explains your take, because based on the amount of the content. It was pretty unlikely that ufotable put it into a single season, so there would have been a long waiting either way between. the seasons.
And btw, Mappa did deliver a show with this approach, but the quality was worse and more inconsistent. And it was SnK. With its 3 year long final season, that consists of 2 seasons with different length and 2 half movies.

Also, you can always wait for the 3 movies to be released before watching the first one. No one forces you to watch it in the theatre, and you can also rewatch them when the next one is released.
So it's pretty your problem-type of thing.

@WilfredJohnson production committees have hierarchy and i doubt ufotable is at the top of the hierarchy to have such a big decision made by only them

the only choice studios has from production committee offers is to accept or decline an anime project afaik

and just to remind you that a company cant run on scraps, it requires 80000 US DOLLARS just to make a single 24 min episode of demon slayer... It is obvious that ufotable would want to make a film series but that is not the proof that they would compromise on the source material...

@Leon888 Bruh the visual novel is so long that I don't think a 26 episode season would have included all of the stuff either. Look at deens adaptation which was a mess. Heavens feel was far better.
It wont break the narrative at all. People had similar concerns when Mugen train movie was announced and then a season was announced for entertainment district. I don't think anyone is confused anymore.
I don't know if Ufotable is the one making these decisions but we are seeing aniplex, crunchyroll and Sony pictures being involved in this as well.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Ufotable decided to make a trilogy out of one of the most popular anime franchises in existence and you catastrophize it into being as bad as The Final Season: Part 5 somehow.
If Evangelion can get away with dropping rebuilds and Gundam fans are still waiting for more Thunderbolt and Hathaway, Demon Slayer is fine.

Kizumonogatari sucked as a movie trilogy. Every movie didn't have enough content and ended on random places. They don't even feel like movies. It should've been one 2-hour long movie.

A solo would be epic but trilogy are so fd up,they donseem to care about watcher's pocket yet time,hype or focus and saying time there are countrys that don't air the movies one or two years ahaed of japan

I thought infinity castle is 45 chapters long
If you include sunrise countdown arc where the infinity collapsed and they muzan outside it is 70 chapters
But they called the movies infinity castle
Not infinity castle + sunrise countdown
45 seems to fit for 3 movies
Probably won't cut any scenes
And it's a war arc so there aren't too many dialogues to make a possibility where they'll cut out some parts

@Ki11grave That wouldn't have worked at all. 2 hours are not enough to adapt kizu. It needs at least 3 hours, but 3 hours would have been overkill as a single movie. And if you need to split, a 3-part split is much more logical, especially the way they did it.

@ktg Kizu has a great movie-like structure. There is the beginning, an inciting incident, obstacles, 'everything-is-seemingly-OK' part, the twist, hero is at his lowest, the final battle and a finale. It would've worked really well as a one movie. But with 3h15m length it feels too drawn out. I don't know about being truthful to the source material (I haven't read it), but Karen Bee and Tsukihi Phoenix were adapted in 7 and 4 episodes respectifully, even though novels have a similar length. It seems like there is a freedom of action when it comes to the running time. It doesn't help that among all Monogatari volumes, Kizu is the one that has the most number of episodes: almost nine. And accoring to wiki, there are 5 adapted volumes that have a higher number of pages.
