The “Fate” movie is the final film of the franchise’s “Heaven’s Feel” trilogy and will see the emotional conclusion to the story of a young man named Shirou Emiya, whose vow to protect a girl named Sakura Matou pushes him to try and put a stop to the Holy Grail War, or the centuries-old competition between mages and their servants where the winner gets a chalice capable of granting wishes. It continues the two previous movies, “lost butterfly” and “presage flower,” and premiered in Japan last August. It made $18.3 million (or around 1.9 billion yen) in the box office. The “Demon Slayer” movie follows the events of the first season of the highly-popular anime, which tells the story of a boy named Tanjiro and his quest to rid his sister, Nezuko, of a demon’s curse. It opened in Japan last October 16, and went on to become a massive hit earning more than $149 million (or about 15.7 billion yen) after just 17 days. That feat already makes it among the top 10 most successful movies to have premiered in Japan. It is the 5th anime movie in the list with the others being “Spirited Away,” which ranks number one, “Kimi no Na wa,” “Howl’s Moving Castle,” and “Princess Mononoke.”

Anime fans, here’s something to look forward to this month of November.
