Although I don't know if CSM is a manga since nobody let alone school children actually read it.
And there's nothing wrong with calling other people (especially noodle armed retarded worms like Denji) degenerates, it's stating the obvious.
Look at the gif I posted right now, it may not be anime (idfk if spongebob is an anime or not) but usually, anime characters that are written with the related gif in mind tend to have writing that excels and rapes denji's character writing to death every day.

the only thing that irritates me is the director bc theyre the pretentious snob that thinks animation is underneath cinema or whatever. couldve phrased it that they were interested in re-creating movie strengths in animation but nah. said something along the lines of "animation does not have the strengths of movies so i decided to push the bounds of animation to reach the quality of movies". similar to the last of us live action director, who funnily enough was a writer of the actual game the last of us. said something along the same lines that "video games cannot capture the feeling of live action because its just pixels and can be reloaded". motherfucker, we can rewind the tv show too?
not here to debate if movies or animation or any media commodity is "art" but it irritates me when the director is just a pick me who is frustrated they couldnt get into the media form they like, so they just bash the media theyre stuck in so they can build their resume. unfortunately this seems to work as the backlash always draws attention to them.

No.20423
>>20422It's got a very different atmosphere than the listed examples, although it certainly has points in common with some of them (It would be interesting to do a deeper comparison with evangelion, if only just for fun). if I were to think of one word to describe the manga's tone, I might call it "punk-ish." (and the anime's more subdued tone if you wanna stretch the metaphor you could half-jokingly compare to post-punk). The tone alternates between absurdist irreverence and world-weary cynicism towards institutions and Japanese culture (especially in part 2), the main character is something of an askew look at the stereotypical shonen protagonist - the story is very clear that his personality traits that square with the average dumb-guy shonen protag is a product of economic exploitation and class disparity resulting in him being semi-feral and undersocialized, making him naive and easy to manipulate by people who know how to press his buttons, but impossible to control by anyone else. Much of his character arc has consisted of him growing up and getting wise while at the same time grappling with his own desire for validation from a world that basically threw him in the trash, and for some kind of life that he can strive towards.
The artwork in the manga alternates between deliberately scratchy character artwork that's somewhat more naturalistic than what you'd expect from shonen jump title (imagine a slightly more subdued take on JJK's character art and you're kind of there), and action panels and background art that are basically Otomo-levels of detailed and hyperkinetic. The anime's aesthetic preserves the dour grunginess of the manga, but gives the absurdity a more deadpan, subdued edge, at times almost feeling like a zanier kon or earlier oshii on mood stabilizers. Both approaches work well for the story and characters.
The way it depicts the supernatural is openly surreal and absurd in ways that are alternately played for horror and comedy, with a lot of bizarre and memorable imagery including bisected astronauts laid out in a ritual column, an eternal inception hotel that functions as a death trap, somebody getting manslaughtered by lupin the third's car in the funniest way possible by a demon without a driver's license, the worst date to ever happen to anybody, a literal assault weapon kaiju blowing up half the world, etc
TL;DR its been described by one relatively well-known shitpost as "attack on titan for people who read lenin," and while I don't think that's entirely right, it's not wholly wrong, either.

HotD has cool action and memorable characters at least, something that other fanservic-ey anime series often lack. Same with, say, I dunno, Konosuba. You can stare at Aqua's ass all day, be my guest.

It also seems like Germany isn’t split and is working independently from us, which could imply that disappearance of nazies made unification of Germany after the world war a possibility and might even mean that Germany is a neutral and independent actor like it was supposed to be in soviet plans.

>>21697>I didn’t like how rushed the first half feltreally? a lot of people were crying that it was a drag and nothing happened
No.22486
>>21705idk, I was binging so that likely effects how I feel about the pacing. But as I said everything felt rushed, once you get rid of the weekly release schedule. Characters just didn’t have proper time to really grow on the audience and as characters. Same case with JJk in my opinion, I believe there is a recent trend of kind of rushing things. I prefer my stories slower, with atmostphere, characters, world etc and you can’t have those without proper pacing and the weekly release schedule doesn’t really let mangaka do that.

the falling devil. I like it a bit more than the first part mainly for the slower pacing and Asa.

>>22531at first i thought she was faking it but ive been convinced by my peers that she was genuine. she does desire intimacy, its just ironically the way she forms all relationships through domination and power serves to only alienate herself even further and thus lead to when she actually is alone with Pochita, she has no idea who Pochita is and how to actually relationship

Chainsaw man part 2 is RANCID. Insane how a series went from a 9/10 by manga standards to outright a 2/10. Literally everything is orders of magnitude worse to the point that it feels like bad fanfiction.
No.22613
>>22594Fire Punch is the best thing Fujimoto ever wrote.
Chainsaw man covers similar themes but has more mass market appeal, and is worse for it.
Reading CSM 2 feels like an editor has a gun to his head.
All of his assistants' manga capture only the wackiness and none of the substance.

>>22617 could you tell what was wrong with the way that guy directed?
No.22629
>>22617hmm imo the action cut scenes werent that bad, its just the lighting and framing decisions were questionable. with the newly added scenes like the drunk himeko scene, it seemed to have a good grasp of both, but in the Makima train scene, all of that seemed to go straight out the fucking window. like it seemed inconsistent
No.22630
>>22625By his own words he tried to make Chainsaw Man look cinematic while having an incredibly narrow sense of what "cinematic" means so he failed to capture the appeal of the manga, despite some scenes here and there being very good. The manga has a lot of expressiveness in characters and the volume covers as well as any colored art Fujimoto put out had very striking and stylized colors, the anime had limited expressions to be more "realistic" and had very mono colors because only action movies are cinema, duh.
>>22617It's funny to see all the "Of course Chainsaw Man flopped in Japan, the japanese only like pedo pandering shit!" posts about the anime sales since the Manga was (and still is) very popular in Japan. Its almost as if the way they adapted the series just didn't resonate over there!
No.22632
>>22617Very much doubt that they'll just walk back the sort of aesthetic S1 had, after all Mappa clearly believed in it too and you can't just have entries that are totally different visually. If nothing else maybe they'll give it a bit of flair for the fights. If it sucks I'll stop bothering with Chainsaw Man adaptations.
No.22659
>>22632Didn’t Mappa animate attack on titan’s last seasons? The artstyle shift was pretty noticeable in that one. Same thing with jjk s2, which sometimes even had some stylistic shifts during fights. It probably all depends on the team and director, wether or not s2 will be too different from s1.

I just realized something. CSM is basically Scott Pilgrim with demons and the protagonist not getting laid. If it was more like Scott Pilgrim Denji would be getting laid no problem.

Also a reminder that Scott was basically friendzoning Knives the entire time while she tried to force herself upon him without his consent
TWICE out of jealousy for Ramona. But if that counts…
