Even if you weren't a fan of the movies, you could still see one as a child. It must have been good for children if it looked like a cartoon and didn't have blood in the trailer. If it wasn't Pokemon: The First Movie in 1998, it could have been one of the earlier films from the studio. Depending on one's age, it could've been Ghost in the Shell. Maybe it was the first movie of theDigimon series.

The pace of theatrical releases in the west has slowed since the Pandemic hit in 2020. There have been between five and nine films released in western theaters over the course of the next three years. The ones that draw the most attention are the ones that have built-in fan bases. The ones that have come out in the last few years have been very good.
