Unfortunately in 2020, it's not much of an accomplishment. Theaters obviously have been rightfully dead for most the year in most countries. A lot of have even closed permanently in the US and europe

Dude after all this you still doubt?
If kimetsu doesn't have second season, it will be the most stupid thing ever done in anime story.

The main reason they have announced a season 2 is cause its probably still in production with no clear window date as of yet. Kind of how like Attack on Titan s2 took 4 years to get announced as they probably did not initially plan it ahead unlike most other shounen. It will come you just have to be patient.

Okay...don't be such a downer, this is still massively great for the studio, producers and of course the Author's success. It's just great how not so popular this series was years ago and now its one of the biggest films not just in the Japan but in the world.

True, covid is one hell of a handicap(to sales) but to me it's interesting nonetheless.

In my opinion, while Covid has put a damper in theater sales for its competition, the same applies to Demon Slayer, so it's still impressive.
Actually, despite being released in Covid season:
| Quote: | | "It is now the fifth highest-earning film of all time in Japan, surpassing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's 20.3 billion yen gross, and becoming the third highest-earning anime film of all time in Japan." |
Now that I find impressive!

Not only that it's an animated film not made by Miyazaki and it's essentially a sequel to a TV show. So yeah that is impressive .

Giddy with glee that the white membership of The Academy, now with a steadily rising Asian Membership (including Donnie Yen), and having no western cartoons in 2020 to fill in the nominations, will no longer be able to casually ignore Anime Films for Best Animated Picture nominations, like they gleefully did by favoring Nicholas Cage’s vomitous piece of garbage “the crudes” over the Majestic “Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion” in 2013.
And I will be happily toasting Sake for “Infinity Train” or “Heaven’s Feel 3” taking their well deserved Best Animated Picture trophy, to the backdrop of the howls of anguish from the same Asian hating alt-whites who tweeted Rose Tico into a silent extra in “Fall Of Skywalker”, as they cower back to their trailers knowing that white supremacy is closer yet to its long-overdue death.

I really wish this would happen, more so to HF3 than to Kimetsu no Yaiba, but I really don't see it happening. The academy is far too self-conceited to ever allow such a thing to happen

Still cautiously hopeful, as "Parasite", an Asian film, is able to take Best Picture of 2020, due to the Hollywood industry being bereft of films of genuine artistic merit to compete with it. Sooner or later it is bound to happen with an Anime film (most likely Ufotable produced), if Pixar continues to make emotionally-hollow cash-grabs like "The Good Dinosaur", "Finding Dory" and "Onwards."
And a Heart-Stirring, Spectacularly Animated and Tearjerking Epic like "Demon Slayer: Infinity Train", which has Financially Outperformed "Onwards", could very well be the Ufotabe Film to do just that.

For as much as a typical American dislikes foreign films and reading subtitles, the stigma against animation is far worse, especially foreign animation that doesn't adhere to the Disney/Pixar rule of animation being kid-friendly. The closest we'll likely to see is Hollywood doing what they did with You Name and just making an American live-action remake so the average movie viewer can watch it without having to watch a cartoon.

Assuming you're not just some troll, the first thing I'd recommend you do is to stop looking for validation in your interests from other people. If you enjoy something, it should be enough that you like it. It shouldn't matter if someone else does, especially the elitist crowd of movie critics. The examples you've brought up aren't even films that could've used the support. They're all part of successful properties.
Secondly, box-office success has never reflected award season (though that's less true for the Oscar's Best Animated Picture). Flops have mopped up and hits have been ignored. It's unrealistic to think two franchise films have a shot at winning Best Picture at a foreign award ceremony. Demon Slayer is clearly a phenomenon in Japan, but even in a non-COVID world, it wouldn't outgross Dragon Ball Super: Broly, or likely the My Hero Academia movies in North America. The only western reviewers watching those are going to be the "nerd culture" outlets. They're not standalone features aimed at a general audience. No one would expect the Downton Abbey movie to cleanup at foreign-language award shows. Don't be shocked if Fate and Demon Slayer aren't nominated.
While it's true COVID has forced a lot of films to evacuate 2020, your racism seems to have blinded you to the animated movies that were put out this year. There were big studio projects like Onward, Soul, Scoob, the two DreamWorks sequels and possibly Connected. Netflix will probably lobby for some of their movies. I think the most realistic shot for a non-Hollywood winner just came out today, though it's likelier to just go to Pixar for Soul. That's more than enough for a slate of nominations. If a more mainstream anime hit came out this year, it probably would've stood a solid shot at getting nominated. However, the closest to that was A Whisker Away, which didn't seem to garner much attention.
I wonder if there are DCAU fans who get mad the DTVs never win any major awards? There probably is.

Some people just want validation out of social stigma. They might have had parents or friends who disproved of their hobby, or perhaps they see western industry folk badmouth anime all the time. So if their hobby wins more awards in the west, it'll be seen as more accepted and recognized as a legitimate hobby. Although honestly I always found seeking approval from American communities a bit silly, especially if we're talking hugely successful series that already dwarf their competition like Kimetsu no Yaiba. Those series don't need to prove anything to anyone that their sales figures haven't already done.

Assuming by DCAU you mean Bruce Timm's stuff and not those dozens of random animated movies they've put out, I've always maintained that Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman movie ever made. But no, I'm not mad. I understand animation will never be treated as a légitime medium in America, especially in leu of live-action films. The live action movies and shows for Marvel and DC will always eclipse both their comic and animated counterparts in pop culture due to stigma, even if they're inferior. I've accepted that long ago. Mask of the Phantasm was one of the biggest box office bombs, and I wasn't surprised at all.
