An animated movie based on the blockbuster “Demon Slayer” manga series has broken box-office records in Japan as the first film ever to rake in over ¥10 billion within 10 days of opening, its distributors said Monday.
The movie, a sequel to an anime television series that aired last year, has generated box-office sales of over ¥10.75 billion at 403 theaters, drawing 7.98 million viewers from its Oct. 16 premiere through Sunday, according to co-distributors Aniplex Inc. and Toho Co.
The previous record was held by director Hayao Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away,” which took 25 days to pull in box-office sales of ¥10 billion, eventually chalking up ¥30.8 billion.

Japan is like:

"You can take away our Freedom, but you will never take away our anime!!!!"
