That's actually not bad. Stuff like Spider-Man: No Way Home 68% ($1B+ lifetime box office) and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 67% ($955M lifetime box office) had similar falls and you'd be hard pressed to say *omg no legs at all* about them. Most big movies fall off 50%+ in their second week.
But nearly 80% is uncommon. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero ranks 23rd for the biggest second weekend drop. Neither of the movies you mentioned crack even the top 200.

This was a good movie, and anime has come a long way from not being screened in theaters regularly to all the time in numerous places with some being released like they're regular movies, but they still struggle to have legs. Everyone interested in seeing them comes on opening weekend and after that they're dead with nearly half or more of the gross coming from the opening weekend instead of 30-40%.
