Masakazu Hishida: The anime film's box office revenue was incredibly poor, and after two weeks, there was even talk of discontinuing its screening. However, through word of mouth and pure review on social networks by those who had seen the film or had been longtime fans, it experienced this sudden surge in its third week of screening.

Despite Japan being a country where watching movies quietly is the norm, they adopted this style of screening for adults on purpose.

Being able to shout out between the character dialogues is part of the fun.
