Interesting... I can't think of the last time a single arc was done as a movie, and then continued as another season tv production (without also a bunch of recap movies). As mentioned the arc could work... You know, for me personally, this might be an ok thing. Why? Because I have a Shonen Jump sub and maybe by the time S2 rolls around, Viz will have the bridges gap, since they are going the route of waiting for the book volumes to release before putting up any more chapters for subbers... (I've been reading, then watching) About 7 volumes behind to where their sub of single-chapters started, so hopefully by then they will be *somewhat* caught up. At least, enough to watch S2...

Because ufotable is apparently working on it, I bet it's going to attain the same level of visual quality as that of the Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel film trilogy.

And we can discount the adaptations of long-running anime that have movies and anime seasons that not really ties with each other plots, like MHA or Gintama. |

Made in Abyss went from a season to adapting the sequel arc into a film. However we aren't sure if there will be any sequels past the film and the format they may be in. |

Oh great. A movie that most in small town anywhere not in Japan will basically have no way of watching before season 2 (TV) comes out!! Are the producers begging people to pirate this?? If it was a side story then fine no one would care but the movie is going to cover a main story arc.
Maybe CR will pull a miracle and air it before the next season airs. Otherwise what choice will people have but to? 0/10 decision |

Something that frustrates me about shows that go this route of TV Anime >> Movie is just how behind we are in terms of getting anime movies outside of Japan. The majority of those movies will never have a theatrical run worldwide, with only a small amount of them screening in the US, and an even smaller amount of that selection ever coming out to other countries/stream on CR, usually over a year after the fact. It just kills my personal involvement with the franchise, seeing all the JP people I follow talk about a movie that I won't be able to watch in half a year if I'm lucky. I just wish the system to give these movies a worldwide release would be more effective

This is a mainstream Jump movie though? The chance it'll get US screening is pretty high, considering US get most of the popular Jump movies in recent years. The folks in East Asian+SEA region will probably also get this as well. |

That's what i'm concerned about. That adaptations like made in abyss, konosuba, saga of tanya, goblin slayer, and now KnY going from tv seasons to movies/ova won't get continuations in the form of seasons. Because personally, these movies will never see theatrical release in my country, not even big shounen movies and legal dvd's are also hard to come by. |

I'm not really sure why you chose to highlight that bit tbh. You do realize the US is not in fact "worldwide"? And that even if it does get screenings in the US, those will be really limited both location-wise and timewise? And once those screenings are over, people will probably have no way to watch the movie other than importing the JP BDs or Aniplex's super expensive sets? I am aware that this being a Jump movie for a very popular show, it's almost certain it will get screened outside of Japan, and I am lucky enough to live in a city where, if the movie ever does make it to my country, I won't have a problem finding a screening close to home. But that's not the point. That doesn't change the fact that the possibilities to watch these movies are extremely limited. They are screened over just a handful of locations, over only a couple of days. Very, very few people outside of Japan will ever have a chance to catch one of those screenings. And missing that, there's no other way to watch these movies. Which is the point- and you even bolded it on your own- that currently, there is no real system to make the majority of these movies available outside of Japan, and I wish the industry could figure out some way to increase that availability worldwide, not just "Japan and 10 movie theatres in the US" |

I'd like to think that if Date A Live can do it, Demon Slayer can too. Sure, situation may be a little different, since DAL had the movie after its 2nd season. But, it's also getting a 4th season (apparently), along with an adaption of a Kurumi spin-off. |

If NF can get the rights to a movie, I don't see any reason why CR can't do the same? CR is backed by big money now so they could do it...

The K franchise did it; the movie Missing Kings is a direct follow-up to the first TV series and a direct set-up for the second, to the point that anyone who skipped the movie will be lost at the beginning of the second season. IIRC, the movie was available streaming before the second season started. |

Thank you!, can't believe i forgot that example since i have watched both seasons and the movie. Ultimately, i think this is a bigger issue if the series isn't an adaptation and/or not popular enough that a summary of the movie would be found online. Still sucks though. |
