theaters listed sources, but I found most people say that anime movies like Tanya have incredibly small budgets, somewhere around $1.5 million.
But everyone was celebrating these earnings, so I dug deeper and it turns out I shouldn’t have judged this movie’s performance on a U.S.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching it on Crunchyroll, and I was curious about how well the movie worked out for the series.Īt first I thought it did awful, as it apparently only earned around $3.58 million at the box office. One great example is the movie for “Saga of Tanya the Evil” which instead of adapting its source material into a second season of TV, they adapted it into a movie instead. However, in recent years there’s been a surge in the third category of anime films, “canon” movies based on existing franchises, and it’s been amazing. Watching movies of franchises with larger stories felt like a waste of time for myself and others. Sure, some of the stories were alright, but when returning back to the original show, all the movie characters and events would never reappear or be acknowledged ever again. When it comes to this second category of “non-canon” anime films, there isn’t much reason to care. For reference, only two of the 11 “Naruto” movies are canon, only three of the 20 “Dragon Ball” movies are canon and none of the 14 “One Piece” movies are canon. So a “non-canon” story is one that is not written by the original author and has no lasting impact on the series. However, a majority of these movies are “non-canon.”Īn anime’s “canon” refers to the story arcs and plot lines that were written by the author and featured in the first medium of that franchise, usually the manga.

My focus is on movies based on existing franchises like “Dragon Ball,” “One Piece” and “Naruto” that were each manga and TV anime before being made into films. Firstly, wholly original anime films like “ Your Name” or any Studio Ghibli work. Strictly referring to Japanese anime films, there are around three categories of films. But I felt compelled to go out of my way to see this movie because unlike a majority of other anime movies, it was canon.Īllow me to explain what I mean by a “canon” film. To be fair, I’m an American anime fan with a preference for at-home streaming and not an active movie buff.
I can firmly say that it was one of the most beautifully animated films I’ve ever witnessed and the most fun I’ve had in the theaters in years. In November of last year, my girlfriend and I decided that for our anniversary we would see the “Konosuba” movie in theaters during its limited U.S.
