Japanese animation movie 'Demon Slayer' narrowly missed out on the Golden Globes Award. Despite being a massive hit in Japan and around the globe, the film did not secure the prestigious film award which was anticipated by fans and critics alike. The exact reasons remain undisclosed, generating anticipation for the film’s potential success in future award ceremonies.

The announcement generated significant buzz in Japan due to the immense popularity of 'Demon Slayer'. The anime adaptation has been a phenomenal success, breaking multiple records in Japan and contributing to the boom of the anime industry. Most Japanese fans had high hopes for the movie to receive international recognition in the form of a Golden Globe. Many also express their belief that Japanese anime deserves more recognition globally.

Much like the enthusiastic fanbases in Japan, animated works in the US and EU also generate substantial excitement and anticipation. However, anime typically struggles to get the same recognition as locally-produced animations at international award ceremonies - likely due to differences in art style, culture, and storytelling.
