It's nothing at all like totally spies.

It's more like Sailor Moon if they were a kpop group instead of school girls.

ok but like, if one doesnt watch netflix and doesnt regularly engage with people who discuss their newest media consumption, why wouldnt this make sense? there are a million million types of social circles, a million million online spaces

like, if someone hadnt heard of Red Dead Redemption 2 i wouldnt be like "lol whats wrong with them", i would just assume their interests dont expose them to the same things as mine

I mean I am guilty of missing popular things but it's generally part of my conscious effort to miss them. I still have never heard a single Drake Song. Basically all my knowledge of him comes from the Kendrick Lamar beef. But that's because I purposely decide to ignore his shit.

Of course I legitimately hadn't considered that you and I probably aren't looking at the same CE, and I don't know what other social media areas you're in. I do know that definitely not all of them are talking about KDH.

I can see why it's popular but it definitely isn't for me--and fairly certain I'm not the target audience anyway. Catchy music, simple but adequate story, basically a proper Disney style movie in an age where Disney struggles to do one.

im sure most of us arent in their target audience but it seems to be a trend of movies/stories that give a hopeful message again

like the Superman movie from earlier this year and maybe that why people are liking it plus the songs are very catchy

The CE discord keeps talking about it too. It seems I can't go a day without hearing about it in some context.

I do think it is quite good and watched it back when it came out. But honestly, I am a little surprised that it has become a pop culture phenomenon.

i dont spend very much time there. if im there its usually late late night when a person or two are talking about hyper niche things. either that or im photo dumping/thought dumping and leaving. like when im in the movie channel its just to post my thoughts, i dont read what other people have to say

I got dragged to the sing-a-long in theaters and had never seen it whereas my roomie had seen it 4 times already. The plot was the most basic plot of many fictional story so nothing to write home about. Catchy songs that even young kids can get into, anime influenced animation, K-Pop fan targeting, female fanservice with the Saja Boys, viral word of mouth; it's no wonder it popped off. All and all, I started enjoying it about halfway through. Also, the series isn't "woke", so no grifters and wokespotting idiots to bash it and influence people to not watch it.

It's overrated, but the animation is literally the best part of it (unless you get hooked on the songs). Otherwise, it's a standard fair Renaissance-Disney-style movie with a muddled message.

It was originally going to be a tv series before getting turned into a movie. The creators already said that the other films will concentrate on the other 2 leads as well as other stuff they couldn't get to (like the main leads demon father)
