Earlier on today, the rebroadcast for Season 1 was decided:
https://kimetsu.com/anime/yukakuhen/news/?id=58687
Tokyo MX, BS11, Animax, and AT-X will rebroadcast the whole season from October 1st. It looks like Fuji TV got the upper hand to broadcast everything ahead of other channels.

By any chance, do you have the full list of 90 countries and territories that will broadcast Season 2? It seems a lot for an anime. I don't know if it is true or they just boast about it.

90 does seem like a lot, but I also feel like I've seen that number before a couple times. Maybe for My Hero Academia or something else. So it might be the "max" amount of territories at the moment.

Thank you for your dedicated work.
For Season 2, here may be the reason Aimer participated in Kimetsu this time:
https://youtu.be/7LKn-3c7AL0
The singer just transferred to Sacra Music, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan. It is obviously a plan to boost their newest artist. Since April 2021, Sony has been very confident about their Music Segment. In their recent annual financial reports, Kimetsu from Aniplex, LiSA and Reona from Sacra Music appear as crucial "intellectual properties". Now they got Aimer :cool:.

Very, very nice. Highest rating for a movie since 2014's rebroadcast of Princess Mononoke, and also the only movie to break 20% since then as well. And note, Mugen Train aired a little later (an hour or two) than most that typically air at 7pm or 8pm.

21.4% is near 12 million viewers. And the peak of 22.9% is roughly 12.5 million viewers.

Indeed that's AMAZING number for a movie that has already been seen by so many in theaters and most likely multiple times before. Its mind-boggling to see the numbers and crowd this movie/franchise still draws in all mediums.

JJK has already surpassed 55M in circulation (including digital copies and Vol 0) which is 650% growth since anime adaptation back in October 2020.

Theatrical Version JJK Movie 0 is just less than 90 days away from release. (Release Date: 24/12 (Fri)). 1st PV might drop between 1-15 October, 2021. Overseas distribution is yet to be decided. That is why I am scared that it might follow EVA 3.0+1.0 pattern for overseas. There is also no any English official website.

First Forecast/Prediction is ¥7B - ¥15B (However, it will depend upon OW. Lots of Western Works will hit Winter especially SM:NWH, Venom 2, Matrix 4 and The Kingsmen. :wacko: )

Corpse, What do you think about the final ranking in 2021 Japan Box Office?

Streaming Update:
Latin America release has been delayed. It will start from 2021 Dec/ 2022 Jan (At present, no info is available).

Mainland China:
Theatrical Version "Mugen Train" disappeared from talks. In Bilibili, recapping episodes of "Mugen Train" has finally got it's dates starting from October 11, 2021 (Chinese Sub). Chinese Dub Release will start from Spring 2022.

It will be interesting to see how Overseas will censored the season, especially, in China.

In regard to Corpse's information about the Japan PM's election, the soon-to-be PM, Fumio Kishinda admitted that he bought and read all 23 volumes of the series. His favorite character is Akaza. He also promised that he would boost the income for people who work in the manga, anime, and movie industry.
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/e01a2 ... f5a60031ff

I don't know he wants to boost his reputation or the series's popularity :funny: .

Kimetsu no Yaiba "Infinite Train Edition" The core overall audience rating is an amazing 35.6%, exceeding the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the baseball final, and the soccer semi-final (against Japan), which cost 3 trillion.
