      that’s what i’m saying 😭 fujimoto is truly a mastermind. i believe he wanted to get chainsaw man serialized in shonen jump, so he built up a basic shonen structure of characters, motivation, etc. And then once it was serialized with shonen jump, he just went buck wild with his imagination and let everything hit the fan.

    If anyone thought that Season 1 would be the peak, just wait for the absolute brain explosion that comes with the later plot points. Chainsaw Man has good animation, and good action, and in the beginning it has some good story as well. The later story tho is genuinely so amazing that having to wait for it is probably the biggest blue ball I'll ever experience.

      The first season is the set up and the first twist. The set up being showing you the world and all the characters. Spoilers below
      The twist being, that no one is safe. Anyone can die, to the point that when a devil says that aki will die you believe it.
      With that first twist and the foundations all being there, the series goes buck fucking wild. It has a similar progression to attack on titan, it starts out simple and you think its just gonna be a silly goofy action series where everyone dies, but nothing serious happens. Then you get half way through and suddenly shit gets fucking real and fast.

    I think one thing Charlie missed is that while the action is absolutely amazing. So is some of the more downtime/chill scenes. Such as the scenes of Aki going through his morning routine. Just characters doing normal everyday shit, but it looks so incredibly smooth and almost real in some scenes. It truly brings forth an atmosphere that I’ve never experienced from a show before.

Would've definitely prefered that there be only about 4 eds and maybe two ops

      This is only the start so I can see why u think its pure whack n goofy (its 100% true ngl) legit right after season 1 ends it turns up imo the next fight will be amazing! and all the sweet character development in a whacky goofy chainsawman way is yet to be animated!

It’s not the first anime to do that (OreImo comes to mind, of all things) but that they were even able to do that in the first place makes me really happy, especially since every single piece of music slaps in its own way.

    Funnily enough, most people wouldn't actually say the main selling point is the action. I'm so happy we did get the god tier action though, just another brilliant part of the show.
    There's two reasons most people hold the show in high regard. One is the author's storytelling, the way he uses framing, how accurately his panels portray human emotion, his use of irony and symbolism. The other is the plot! It's very Tarantino-esque, not simple at all in my opinion. I'm glad that the first season stuck with people (but imo for different reasons to the manga) because they're in for even more wilder things in the future.

    As a manga reader without saying spoiler I can say the manga just keeps getting more nuanced and engaging lore wise, action wise, and from a character development standpoint. Mappa is very busy so if they are planning to be primary animators for Season 2 it's likely going to be a wait of about a year unless they have backlogged future content (animating further into the manga source material but need to fix up/polish). Half year waits to 1 year are standard for seasonal animes like this unless there are production or logistical issues. It could take longer tbh cause the level of attention they pour into the episodes is very demanding on a studio no matter the size.

    Like Makima explained to Aki, every devil is based on a concept, and depending on how much that concept is feared, the stronger that devil is. So as an example, people arent very afraid of coffee, so a coffee devil wouldnt be that strong. But what about the Darkness Devil? The Fire Devil? Space Devil? Hell Devil? Horror Devil?

    The elephant in the room with CSM is that the vast majority of the content that people are super hyped about comes directly AFTER the point at which this 1st season finishes.
    You can kinda think of season 1 as 'set-up', and I think the 'pay-off' that comes in the next couple of arcs is what caused the insane hype levels. So bit of a shame we're probably gonna have to wait a year or more for a second season.

The weight and detail they gave to the Aki vs. samurai sword fight made me rewatch that scene probably ~15 times. The movement felt so realistic and tense. Even with the animation aside, I'm glad they focused on the quieter moments like that, especially the finale's ending.

    I really enjoyed that we got a unique ending for every episode, with great styles and music that I loved. They felt like the equivalent of the manga covers of CSM which are so colorful and abstract compared to the grittiness of the rest.
    It's a story that really grew on me and seeing everyone animated and lively is kinda surreal, which made me appreciate the calm and mellow moments even more. And the sountrack just fits so well and is right up my alley.

The reze arc is too long for them to have done something like 15/15 season split. If they did 24 episodes then it would have left only like 7-8 episodes to end the series. Which they could have just done a movie tbh idk why they didn’t do that. But it seems like they instead chose to do 12/20 season split. Which honestly is better imo. This is a better place to stop.

    Chainsaw man making Charlie laugh is something interesting, i remember watching Totally Not Mark's video about the manga, and he says that he doesn't laugh watching anime at all but with chainsaw man, he laughed tons. I think the "movie-like" approach and natural dialogue helps to give the show a natural humour too, sometimes is over the top but it never feels artificial or done just to make you laugh, is there as part of the story and the development of the characters. For example, Denji's goal to touch boobs is very silly, but it's used as a way to develop his wants, is there for the character to grow and change as consequence of his expectations being subverted. When season 2 comes i think people are gonna be even more surprised and engaged by fujimoto's storytelling, since this is the part where the story really begins to shift. Overall, i agree with the 90% score for the anime, I'm so happy mappa didn't disappoint.

    my favorite part of this anime is how it can become extremely melancholic and emotionally intense out of nowhere. the amount of effort they put into the animation of the most random and irrelevant scenes, like Aki just lighting up some cigarettes on his balcony, characters walking around the city, or for scenes that are just dialogue and talking but are important to the story and character development, etc. Its surprisingly beautiful given how insane and zany and action packed the rest of it can get. the music too. the “vibe” and the aesthetic is incredible

    Honestly, I don't think the action in chainsawman was its selling point. It was amazing, but I think the character and their development is the best part.
    The way Denji and Aki originally hate each other, then Power, then get along and start being a family. The way you get introduced to himeno and have romance teased only for it to be brutally ripped away. The way Makima goes from being a cool, if controlling boss to a terrifying figure working with shadowy higher ups.
    I really wish they adapted more because things (both the action and characters) only get more interesting. The next part is going to blow everyone's minds.

    I think what many others like is also that the anime goes literally panel by panel through the manga. Nothing changed, just the manga but animated. Which you don't get that often as due to too long and costly production or just because the studio doesn't wanna go the exact manga way. They might change that in future seasons but I think this is a big plus that they really kept themselves so accurate to the manga panels

    I got 1-4 manga’s for Christmas but then I wanted to really see what happens after the end of the first season so I bought the rest of the manga’s and it’s so damn good I can’t wait for the second season to come out. Ive never been so invested into an anime before till my sister introduced me to this series!
