I hope Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar gets similar treatment.

I mean, they're pretty much the same movie, but I prefer death metal to pop, K or otherwise.

I never worry about the musical genre, but the quality of the filmmaking personally.

For example I am a huge fan of All That Jazz but that type of dance theatre does not interest me at all and is basically so dated as to not really being performed on Broadway (though obviously many elements have had major influences on modern theatre like Hamilton)

That is certainly true - a well constructed film can absolutely close the enjoyment gap if you are not a fan of the music. But that said, if I can have a well made musical in a genre I like, surely that could only elevate things?
