    Eh fair enough. FWIW anime has always been my one blind spot when it comes to geek/pop culture. I think the last anime show I watched was...Pokemon like...13 years ago, and the only other anime show I can think of that has me even remotely interested is Beastars. And even then, I'm just interested in Beastars for the furry stuff. Haven't even seen Ghibli movies before. It still seems weird this did so well compared to everything else, but I guess this is just a fan culture I have no real idea about.

    Just watch it, then you probably will not feel weird at all. I stopped watching anime since 10 years ago, I said to myself I'm not an anime person anymore, until last year I saw this DS, few episodes instantly falls into it.

     

    Few things that make it stands out:

    1, Simple story about family bonds, even a 5-year-old can understand, but also has hyped fights and historical background that attracts teens and older groups

     

    2, Great character design, main character acting very mature, has a lot of good qualities, many good female characters compared to walking boobs in other anime, this makes fanbase covers both gender. Even each major villain has a good back story

     

    3, Writing is very tight, very good pacing. The writer knows how to keep and hold people’s interest. It keeps you excited for what’s going to happen next, and it moves you through the story at a really good pace

     

    4, Artistic animation style, Ufotable the studio blends CGI with 2D really well, they added a traditional japanese art style called Ukiyo E to the fight scenes, makes the graphic very refreshing. Sony the shareholder, really wants to take a bite out of the anime market, put hugh budget into DS, even the TV show's bgm is film-scored

     

    5, People die! No supernatural power to revive, grief and loss are felt deeply. This creates a real and raw feeling for the people who just recovered from the pandemic. The show teaches the viewers to have discipline in life.

    Most of the anime with great legs are award player like the wind rises , the tale of the princess kaguya that distributed by other studio like GKIDS. Based on the track record of Funanimation, it is very hard to judge either because the numbers were affected by those mid-week preview events that heavily attended by anime fans with huge premium ticket price.  Like how Super Broly got that 10m gross from those events before going into formal opening weekend. 

     

    DS represent the first standard weekend opener for Funanimation since your name. If your name can have 2.78x legs , it is not too much to ask DS to leg out 2x albeit with higher number. Also, if a "standard" box office scale like Super Broly can have that 30m in USA, DS should not have problem to match that number with its Endgame-level hype as an anime. 

    In Australia DS leg now 2.2x still going, and dubbed version out this Thursday, expecting 2.5x, US may be similar
