Not only is Chainsaw Man damn good, but so is the fandom. Kobeni's car getting 7th place in the popularity poll directly ahead of Kobeni herself(8th) was honestly one of the best things ever.
Good and bad, the Kobenis car thing has gotten so stale and overused. People want to roleplay being a dog to a redhead manipulator and that wasnt something I was expecting to see outside the furry fandom. Its gonna be another case where the manga is great but the fandom is something else entirely (for better of worse).
This video was a textbook example of overhyping something to the point of unrealistic expectations. If I hadn't already read the manga before, and heard how people are hyping it up, I would of went into it expecting it to be the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. Chainsaw man is good. But it's already out of contention for anime of the year next year since Vinland Saga season 2 does exist.
Repent of sin!

All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) . (Don’t forget to repent of sin. )!!..
No it is not. I just read the whole manga while I had this video paused, and I was NOT ready for the gun devil sequence. So many times reading it, I was thinking that I had seen it's biggest gut punch, and I was wrong.
And it even works with the f**king theme 😭I will admit I'm a little more excited to see a certain devil fight when the characters go to a certain place tho

@@pamelotms5867 I was thinking of the zombie devil fight and the SPOILERS: Part when Chainsaw man is dropped in to hell. Those panles look a lot like the cover from doom. I might be completely wrong though but it sure does look similiar and really has the same feel.
_"[Power] Was inspired by Eric Cartman and Walter from The Big Lebowski."_ I'm calling bullshit. You forced me to read the damn manga just for that. _There's no way, I won't believe till I see it._
Never heard the thing about Walter, but Fujimoto said in an interview that he was inspired to make her like eric cartman. He also said that Denji and poochita is party inspired by finn and jake as well
Fire punch sacrifices a lot of coherence and catharsis with its characters to further its emotion, while chainsaw man has a better balance of emotion and consistency. Both are absolutely incredible tho and while I think I love chainsaw man more, comparing them does both a disservice
@@dnacellz Having standards isn't what I would consider truly gatekeeping. He has a point that Western comics have fallen off fast. Manga proves that the art form is still viable and profitable. Why aren't modern comics as successful? You'll get a lot of different answers as to why. His being one of them. There is some veracity to his claim though insofar as shit writers, illustrators, and creative directors are concerned. But some people call any roadblock to test your skill in your way is a form of gatekeeping the industry.
The bomb devil arc setup was honestly one of the manga moments that hit the closest to home. Never have i ever related with a manga main character so much as Denji during this arc. Honestly one of my favorite manga ever
Fr like not even Berserk made me do that (I know that Berserk's not supposed to be funny but still). After having read Csm idk why, I just have such high expectations for any new Manga I read.
I just finished Fire Punch for the first time and it actually made me cry uncontrollably. It was the most surreal experience to read something so fundamentally incomprehensible yet so touching on a primal level. Fujimoto is on a whole different plain to us mere beings.
Yesss. Fire Punch has been a favourite of mine for a while now and it's always so mindblowing how the insanity just kept reaching higher and higher levels as it went along. Truely a classic in my eyes
I’ll probably end up doing the same thing with chainsaw man as I did with jujutsu kaisen, say I’m gonna be anime only and then watch the first season only to end up reading the manga because I’m impatient
I love JJK, but I actually enjoy the anime of it better in some ways. Chainsaw Man is the opposite. It could be the best anime ever and it will never hit as hard as the manga. I'm probably going to reread it so that I better understand it prior to the anime, but I know the anime won't be able to match the manga because I think it's best in that black and white anesthetic.
I'm partial to the first time Aki uses the curse sword and the finger comes from outside the panel to push the sword, then the impact of the sword goes through the other side of the panel. Fantastic comic book paneling.
Reread twice, now for a third time but physical copy wise. First ever manga/series i got into from the VERY beginning. After seeing the announcement of chapter 1 coming out about some kid that has a head and arms for chainsaws. So when chapter one got released, was instantly hooked. Have such a deep connection to this series for that reason.
"Underhyped" Thousands of CSM manga fans who already prepared for the upcoming horde of secondaries: "even gun devil and control devil cant handle damage from the impact that will happen after the anime comes out."
It was bittersweet af, and I’m wondering how they’re even gonna top that first arc because that’s the only manga I’ve had to repeatedly say “what the actual fuck?!” At least 3 times a chapter
Naw you seen the Mappa interview video,l? Dudes have literal shopping bags under their eyes! They’re gonna push this anime out fast as fuck looking better than jujutsu kaisen, and they’re definitely going to overwork the fuck out of their animators.

Jujutsu kaisen is the guy who comes out and plays all the jazz standards perfectly, with every note hit exactly as it should.

@@Kinochai I disagree entirely. Most of the time over hyping something leads to louder people showing hatred towards it once it becomes more mainstream.
@@Kinochai overhyping a series leads to disappointment and annoyance with the community and other community. Off the top of my head Jojo’s and One Piece come to mind immediately, for most series it’s better to keep hype to a minimum and let people form their own opinions rather than believing in the majority or minority.
The level of desperate I was to finish volume 11 tonight despite being absolutely tired and wrecked from today is a true testament to how captivating and amazing this story is.
I read Chainsaw Man twice in one night. I started it because I heard it was good,I read it once in like 4-5 hours finished it sat there looking at my iPad for twenty minutes wondering what in the fuck I just read and decided fuck it,I don’t have work or school tomorrow why the fuck not? I’ll read it again. It’s REALLY GOOD like Fire Punch is good,Vagabond is good,One Piece is good but this shit is the best thing I’ve read
I think that Houseki no Kuni deals with a lot of the same themes as Chainsaw Man. You should definitely give it a read. It’s a lot less well known but the anime is made by Studio Orange (Beastars’ Studio). The manga is far more interesting as it’s completed more though it’s still unfinished. I’d say it’s main theme would be “What it means to be human” It’s a beautiful read and is really similar to this manga, please give it a read :)
Bro, when I read that the first time, I had to stop and reread it again with some music in the background while I let my imagination play out the scene in slow motion. It was such an emotional event. Man. Right in the feels.
Lol a couple days ago when this video dropped and the shonen jump promo popped on I said "fuck it, might as well read it". And I paused the video. Today I return to this video a new woman. A woman who whole heartedly and fully understands the reason this video was created.
Personally i think shounen is still the same. The biggest difference is the quality of the art and cinematography in the anime. Those two areas have improved a lot since 15 years ago but the rest is pretty much the same.
people already calling it mid. their expecting perfection in every element of a story when CSM isn't. the plot itself is slightly above average. everything else is amazing but the thing is a lot of it's strengths won't match people's taste. these strengths being comedy, over the top action, and ridiculous scenarios that i already know many people are not going to appreciate.
If anyone gatekeeps this show I will cry, I just want people talking about this amazing manga (and soon to be anime) without another toxic fandom so please read it, give it a chance & dont gatekeep/ end up being a toxic fan and ruin this amazing manga for so many people like my hero academia
In all likelihood if this show gets MHA level popularity then its probably gonna get a lot of MHA 's toxicity too. Though oen thing I can say for sure is that Twitter is going to lose it, theres going to be a ton of burn it and salt the earth opinions and controversy if Twitter discovers this series, which they probably willl unless tehy live under a rock.
Makima Analysis [Spoilers]: vm.tiktok.com/ZMdbRQkhA/ Edit: a lot of what I said in this vid also applies to Fujimoto's new 100 page One-Shot, Look Back. it's a masterpiece. Go read it today.
@@savannahs.5874 well the last panel of the manga says part two coming. But the fact he’s taking so long to drop even one chapter tells me he’s taking his time to write it and it’s going to be amazing.
18:01 Yeah, I started reading it the day after this video came out... I regret not doing it the day the video came out... BTW was a Fantastic read. Thank you for the recommendation ^^

I think it needs to be said that his previous manga, "Fire Punch" as one of (In my opinion) the best trans characters of all time. There is so much empathy and acceptance given to them, even if they are a trully tragic character, it really made me respect the author a lot.
Just read Chainsaw Man. Geoff. You undersold it. My mind is so bent and twisted up after reading this manga that I'm now afraid of the dark again. So thanks for that. And I mean that sincerely. Thank you for getting me to read chainsaw man. And inadvertently making me afraid of turning off the lights. 110% worth it. Gonna let it sit for awhile longer in my head then read it again.
I always loved anime, since i was a kid. Never dove into manga until recently. Jojo Steel Ball Run was my 1st manga i ever read, Chainsaw Man was 2nd. It was phenomenal.
While I'm still *very* cautious in my optimism for the anime adaptation, the manga is definitely one of the most impressive and interesting pieces of genre-bending fiction I've read in years.
I'm on chapter 3 and the line, "a tentacle devil attacked his balls," has has me cackling for 5 minutes. Edit: I finished part 1 yesterday. I have never experienced such raw, pure, chaotic art in my life. I'm totally reading that part again. I had a blast the entire time. My only regret is I'll never be able to experience I for the first time again.
I think what really got me hooked on the series was how it felt grounded in reality. Even though there is this fantastical element with devils it sees them as a normal thing as they are used to it by now. With all the modern elements and issues I could easily digest this world existing and sympathize with a lot of the issues characters face, in some way or another.
I watched this video on Chainsaw man yesterday. Finished Chainsaw man today. 10/10 would recommend the Chainsaw man experience. I have been enlightened as to the joys of best girl Power
I really just never read manga but am SO happy that I took your advice way back when to actually read Chainsaw Man! Doesn't have much competition but it's def my favorite manga now!!
One of the best panels I've seen in manga, no joke Spoilers: Sad best boy Beam died😥😭, but he has a chance to come back, so I'm not all that worried. And when he does, Denji better ride him again like it's a rodeo scene from Sharknado🤠🦈(some parts of that are kinda suspicious but I refuse to edit them😤)
9:13 chainsaw man is the shonen version of the boys. except better written of course. it’s gritty, crude, hilarious as hell & all of the emotional moments truthfully hit. it’s a realistic mix of seriousness and comedy. honestly amazing manga
I have read it last year. It was amazing. A little bit jumpy, I would like more slow pacing. Not like the characters are not developed, but I would like to see more of their interactions. But no. Manga hits constantly. Especially towards the end. So I expect more anime only material that expands on characters.
I just finished chapter 82, and I am just baffled at how good this is. Words cannot describe how unbelievably clever, dark, and funny I think this story is. The tone is unlike anything I've ever experienced.
I haven’t laughed out loud at a manga genuinely like I have this one since that chapter of one piece where luffy got infected with the shrooms all over your body shroom, and when the Amazonians tried to cure him, they couldn’t figure out why that last mushroom wouldn’t come off no matter how hard they pulled.
"A work of art that will change the way that you look at art". He's right, ever since Oddtaxi, whenever I watch something I just go: Meh, OddTaxi was better... I need help.
That's what has happened to me when watching code geass I dropped 2 -3 anime that I was watching for this season And now I am not even watching anything I just read some manga when I have time
Given that chapter 97 was not the end of Chainsaw Man, I can only think of one way for it to definitively end. But I hope I’m wrong, because while it ties everything up in a neat little bow, it also feels a bit underwhelming and generic. Basically, I can only see it ending in any sort of definitive way with the defeat and consumption of the Devil devil. People fear devils, meaning there must be one somewhere, and it must be incredibly powerful. And if Chainsaw Man were to consume the Devil devil, it would erase the very concept of devils from existence. My guess would be that some devil was responsible for Denji’s dad being in debt. Therefore, erasing devils from reality would rewrite history to give Denji the normal childhood he never got. And of course this version of Denji would have a cute little dog that’ll be implied to be some sort of reincarnation of Pochita. Thankfully, I think Fujimoto will be able to come up with something better. The man is far too insane to go for such an underwhelming ending.
There are no happy endings in Fujimoto's story. Most likely a bitter-sweet or bitter ending, or maybe completely nihilistic ending who knows The way I think Chainsaw man is gonna end is that Denji will somehow become human again while Pochita being dead, his heart disease makes it so that Denji won't live long. Denji comes back at life where he started. Poor, no friends, no food nothing, but this time he has a strong philosophical out look towards life which gives him a smile, telling us that he is grateful for all kinds of tastes he got to experience (Makima lollipop reference) He then proceeds to head towards his old shack, goes to sleep in that old mattress after closing the door only for it to never be opened by him again. Last panel being the door. I like my door concept, all his life Pochita(and the readers) told him not to open the door and this time he closes it only for the readers to hope that he opens it again( just incase you missed it, he won't be opening the door as he turned back into human and will be dead from his mother's inherited heart disease mentioned in chapter 1)
@@caelestisimperator9829 ohhh nice one. I always felt the mention of a heart disease was sorta pointless but if it's gonna be used like that it makes sense
My absolute favorite kind of Geoff’s writing are the “pay attention to this good thing or I’ll be disappointment at you” videos. I’ve watched ODDTAXI and Captain Tylor because of how good those videos were and I’m fully prepared to keep ingesting suggestions until the ocean fire gets me.
I've noticed you've recently changed the title from "Chainsaw Man is under hyped, actually" to the current one. Chainsaw Man's hype truly is reaching insane levels.
i have that same 'fox that flips into a skull demon' mini plush that you got on your shelf. It lives in my VR travel bag and protects all my sweet sweet VR tech from thieves while I travel. So far, so good lol
As someone who's been there from the start, it's something special to see one of my favourite series gain such a following. I wonder if this is how parents feel when their child achieves something.
Not only is Chainsaw Man damn good, but so is the fandom. Kobeni's car getting 7th place in the popularity poll directly ahead of Kobeni herself(8th) was honestly one of the best things ever.

isnt it better to be underhyped so that anime onlys don't feel like It was overhyped?
Idk why but I agree with that
But it's impossible to overhype csm. No matter how much you hype it, it won't be enough
@@Kinochai I disagree entirely. Most of the time over hyping something leads to louder people showing hatred towards it once it becomes more mainstream.
@@Kinochai overhyping a series leads to disappointment and annoyance with the community and other community. Off the top of my head Jojo’s and One Piece come to mind immediately, for most series it’s better to keep hype to a minimum and let people form their own opinions rather than believing in the majority or minority.
@@Kinochai Let’s see once the anime is released.
The level of desperate I was to finish volume 11 tonight despite being absolutely tired and wrecked from today is a true testament to how captivating and amazing this story is.

Lmao
He do be doing that sometimes
Omg so true
I like when the chainsaw is a man

I read Chainsaw Man twice in one night.
I started it because I heard it was good,I read it once in like 4-5 hours finished it sat there looking at my iPad for twenty minutes wondering what in the fuck I just read and decided fuck it,I don’t have work or school tomorrow why the fuck not? I’ll read it again.
It’s REALLY GOOD like Fire Punch is good,Vagabond is good,One Piece is good but this shit is the best thing I’ve read

This would be a rad collab, tho! :D dew it!
Ooh collab of Mike and Geoff perhaps?
@@konradcurze394 Ah, yiss. I see my mistake now. Grassy ass. ;)
I think that Houseki no Kuni deals with a lot of the same themes as Chainsaw Man. You should definitely give it a read. It’s a lot less well known but the anime is made by Studio Orange (Beastars’ Studio). The manga is far more interesting as it’s completed more though it’s still unfinished. I’d say it’s main theme would be “What it means to be human” It’s a beautiful read and is really similar to this manga, please give it a read :)
FYI, Houseki no Kuni isn't finished, it's just on hiatus right now

Happy Birthday Denji

So excited to see this animated and see all the reactions.
Bro, when I read that the first time, I had to stop and reread it again with some music in the background while I let my imagination play out the scene in slow motion. It was such an emotional event. Man. Right in the feels.
Birthday popper goes bang. Denji is just getting overly emotional over his birthday suprize ;)
*Why..
Why must you do me this way..*
Lol a couple days ago when this video dropped and the shonen jump promo popped on I said "fuck it, might as well read it". And I paused the video. Today I return to this video a new woman. A woman who whole heartedly and fully understands the reason this video was created.
Fine, I’ll read it. Gosh, no need to be pushy Geoff.

Tip to anime watchers: Avoid spoilers as much as possible
Thats far easier said than done nowadays
Real tip: just read the manga :/
A lot of people don’t like manga whatsoever and only find enjoyment watching anime. Hopefully manga readers won’t ruin it for them.

People expect chainsaw to literally revolutionize Shonen so it has a lot to live up too. I’m optimistic though with how good Shonen has been recently
Personally i think shounen is still the same. The biggest difference is the quality of the art and cinematography in the anime. Those two areas have improved a lot since 15 years ago but the rest is pretty much the same.
@@Christopher._M manga ends when the authors decide to, which makes a big difference in length and quality
@@diegoquinones6079 you have a point. Shounen has been less dragged out recently and that has been a major improvement.
people already calling it mid. their expecting perfection in every element of a story when CSM isn't. the plot itself is slightly above average. everything else is amazing but the thing is a lot of it's strengths won't match people's taste. these strengths being comedy, over the top action, and ridiculous scenarios that i already know many people are not going to appreciate.
Shonen has just as much garbage as it always has
As exited as I am for the anime, people barking at Makima's ass is worrying me.
Get used to it
Woof 🐶
Shouldn’t take that too seriously, if you let it get to your head then you gotta work on that
@@Aki-tn7hp It's REALLY bad
Thats the false fandom for you. Manga literally told them not act like a dogs, and here we are
Its a whole bit because of makimas thing about dogs
If anyone gatekeeps this show I will cry, I just want people talking about this amazing manga (and soon to be anime) without another toxic fandom so please read it, give it a chance & dont gatekeep/ end up being a toxic fan and ruin this amazing manga for so many people like my hero academia
In all likelihood if this show gets MHA level popularity then its probably gonna get a lot of MHA 's toxicity too.
Though oen thing I can say for sure is that Twitter is going to lose it, theres going to be a ton of burn it and salt the earth opinions and controversy if Twitter discovers this series, which they probably willl unless tehy live under a rock.

That’s incredible. I didn’t know that, but I might read it for that reason now. Thanks for telling me.
Just read Chainsaw Man.
Geoff. You undersold it. My mind is so bent and twisted up after reading this manga that I'm now afraid of the dark again. So thanks for that.
And I mean that sincerely. Thank you for getting me to read chainsaw man. And inadvertently making me afraid of turning off the lights. 110% worth it. Gonna let it sit for awhile longer in my head then read it again.
I loved the manga. Can’t wait to watch the anime!
Geoff: If you haven't read Chainsaw Man, your life is incomplete
Me: *Maybe I am incomplete*
I always loved anime, since i was a kid. Never dove into manga until recently. Jojo Steel Ball Run was my 1st manga i ever read, Chainsaw Man was 2nd. It was phenomenal.
Two of the best ones

Your standards are too high for manga.
While I'm still *very* cautious in my optimism for the anime adaptation, the manga is definitely one of the most impressive and interesting pieces of genre-bending fiction I've read in years.
Chainsaw Man is also a reflection of the emotions of what their animators felt when Mappa abused them.

Chainsaw man is honestly the best thing ive ever read. I dont know how not everybody has even heard of it
I'm on chapter 3 and the line, "a tentacle devil attacked his balls," has has me cackling for 5 minutes.
Edit: I finished part 1 yesterday. I have never experienced such raw, pure, chaotic art in my life. I'm totally reading that part again. I had a blast the entire time. My only regret is I'll never be able to experience I for the first time again.
Lol
I just got the manga today and this got recommended to me lol
Oh god it’s another one
It's a sign!
;)
Enjoy!
Goku dies in the end
I think what really got me hooked on the series was how it felt grounded in reality. Even though there is this fantastical element with devils it sees them as a normal thing as they are used to it by now. With all the modern elements and issues I could easily digest this world existing and sympathize with a lot of the issues characters face, in some way or another.
I cant get around the fact that denji continually simped for makima despite the fact that 90% of the time she is completely emotionless and blank
Do you even understand who Denji is? If you just look at who he is and where it comes from it makes 100% that he SiMps for Makima
@@Isaax i woulda done the same thing LOOL
He was desperate for intimacy and Makima played him like a fiddle
@@Isaax woof..?
Actually I know plenty of guys who would simp not despite but BECAUSE of that
The **Bang** scene will destroy the internet, trust me.
I watched this video on Chainsaw man yesterday. Finished Chainsaw man today. 10/10 would recommend the Chainsaw man experience. I have been enlightened as to the joys of best girl Power
This manga is kind of... Punk music as a comic, and a perfect representation of the youth's soul of this time
I really just never read manga but am SO happy that I took your advice way back when to actually read Chainsaw Man! Doesn't have much competition but it's def my favorite manga now!!
Little does he know I binged the series in one day

Sad best boy Beam died😥😭, but he has a chance to come back, so I'm not all that worried. And when he does, Denji better ride him again like it's a rodeo scene from Sharknado🤠🦈(some parts of that are kinda suspicious but I refuse to edit them😤)

How is it better than the boys?
@@soultheconfusing9563 comic
I have read it last year. It was amazing. A little bit jumpy, I would like more slow pacing. Not like the characters are not developed, but I would like to see more of their interactions. But no. Manga hits constantly. Especially towards the end.
So I expect more anime only material that expands on characters.
Can’t wait to see astronauts, the most eerie coolest entrance I’ve seen
I just finished chapter 82, and I am just baffled at how good this is. Words cannot describe how unbelievably clever, dark, and funny I think this story is. The tone is unlike anything I've ever experienced.
I haven’t laughed out loud at a manga genuinely like I have this one since that chapter of one piece where luffy got infected with the shrooms all over your body shroom, and when the Amazonians tried to cure him, they couldn’t figure out why that last mushroom wouldn’t come off no matter how hard they pulled.
"A work of art that will change the way that you look at art". He's right, ever since Oddtaxi, whenever I watch something I just go: Meh, OddTaxi was better...
I need help.
That's what has happened to me when watching code geass
I dropped 2 -3 anime that I was watching for this season
And now I am not even watching anything I just read some manga when I have time
You need to watch Baccano! It's like a more complicated Odd Taxi.
This is my favorite video on this channel I love your passion.
My first exposure to Chainsaw man was the astronaut panel, and I was instantly entranced. Can't wait for the anime.
How I can contradict his arguments with that Pokémon shirt?! …. Yes! I can’t!
Given that chapter 97 was not the end of Chainsaw Man, I can only think of one way for it to definitively end. But I hope I’m wrong, because while it ties everything up in a neat little bow, it also feels a bit underwhelming and generic.
Basically, I can only see it ending in any sort of definitive way with the defeat and consumption of the Devil devil. People fear devils, meaning there must be one somewhere, and it must be incredibly powerful. And if Chainsaw Man were to consume the Devil devil, it would erase the very concept of devils from existence. My guess would be that some devil was responsible for Denji’s dad being in debt. Therefore, erasing devils from reality would rewrite history to give Denji the normal childhood he never got. And of course this version of Denji would have a cute little dog that’ll be implied to be some sort of reincarnation of Pochita.
Thankfully, I think Fujimoto will be able to come up with something better. The man is far too insane to go for such an underwhelming ending.
There are no happy endings in Fujimoto's story. Most likely a bitter-sweet or bitter ending, or maybe completely nihilistic ending who knows
The way I think Chainsaw man is gonna end is that Denji will somehow become human again while Pochita being dead, his heart disease makes it so that Denji won't live long. Denji comes back at life where he started. Poor, no friends, no food nothing, but this time he has a strong philosophical out look towards life which gives him a smile, telling us that he is grateful for all kinds of tastes he got to experience (Makima lollipop reference)
He then proceeds to head towards his old shack, goes to sleep in that old mattress after closing the door only for it to never be opened by him again. Last panel being the door.
I like my door concept, all his life Pochita(and the readers) told him not to open the door and this time he closes it only for the readers to hope that he opens it again( just incase you missed it, he won't be opening the door as he turned back into human and will be dead from his mother's inherited heart disease mentioned in chapter 1)
@@caelestisimperator9829 that's honestly a really sad and heartbreaking ending. Its perfect.
@@caelestisimperator9829 ohhh nice one. I always felt the mention of a heart disease was sorta pointless but if it's gonna be used like that it makes sense

As someone who's been there from the start, it's something special to see one of my favourite series gain such a following. I wonder if this is how parents feel when their child achieves something.
