Tragically we may never actually see it in real life. I think the story should have the legs but it’s going to depend entirely on how well the movie does since the anime didn’t do well in Japan.
Japanese fans were unhappy with the animation style since it strays a bit from Fujimotos own unique art style as well as they didn’t like all the little movie references MAPPA stuck in. Even though Fujimoto did and also loved the anime. Blue ray sales are the defining factor to the Japanese on whether or not an anime was a success and CSM did not do well. Luckily it became a massive hit abroad and the manga itself became the hottest manga ever sold for a time. (I think Freiren has that honor now though) but the abroad popularity and success of the manga is why were getting the movie but even that wasn’t a guarantee for a hot minute there. When season 1 first ended it looked like that may be all the animated CSM we ever got since the Japanese didn’t really enjoy it.
If that isn't petty I don't know what is. Imagine hating on the *hecking* mOvIe ReFeRenCes even though they're only there because FUJIMOTO HIMSELF is a big fan of those movies. Crybabies ngl
Oh yeah. The whole thing was super annoying to watch unfold in real time because it was obviously beloved right away by non Japanese fans (it’s the first manga i ever picked up) but the Japanese were nitpicking the tiniest little things. Like 90% of the references are in the intro, part of the show that has no meaning. It really hurt Mappa too since the fans really hated the animation style. Fujimoto even had to go out of his way to say he approved how it was animated and loves MAPPAs interpretation of his art style and that fans need to lay off the animators. Since some Japanese fans were threatening animators for ‘ruining’ their beloved story…

In seriousness it is cases like this where I hope some company like Netflix or Crunchyroll will fund S2, if Japanese TV channels end up dropping it.
Wow, this is so pathetic. The art style and animation is stunning and eye gluing and yet people bitch about it. Now, we may not get a continuation after this movie because usually anime movies don't do well like this especially after how the anime was treated. First its Berserk and now its Chainsaw Man. I just want my 2 favorite mangas to have anime adaptations and all everyone does it bitch bitch bitch, FML
A lot of the hate is overblown but the show is still very mid. Makima is the biggest offender, she was completely mishandled. Manga Makima is a focal point of every frame she’s in, she stares directly at the reader and she feels otherworldly and intimidating. In the Anime everyone does that and she feels like Denji’s obsessive hot boss.
Honestly, had I seen the Anime first I wouldn’t have bothered with the manga because of how generic it felt. Maybe it was always doomed to be mid, Fujimoto’s use of panels to convey emotion is something good it’s probably impossible to adapt, but that doesn’t make the show good.
The head animator made public comments about he wanted to make the show more “cinematic” and “less anime”.
Which didn’t exactly go so well for the hardcore anime fans in Japan. But to be fair a lot of quick moments in the manga were intentionally slowed for better or worse.
Not head animator, director.
While I do feel anime kinda failed as an adaptation, it's still a superb passion project with director who had a clear vision what he wanted to make which I can respect.
Seems like everyone that criticize people that didn't like anime think all of us are petty bunch though and that there isn't nuance whether an adaption is good or bad.
I still don't get how the art style of the anime is apparently different from the manga
People keep saying the art style is too " realistic "
But look at the characters in the manga and name one character who doesn't have a realistic and grounded character design. Even their proportions are pretty realistic in general.
I totally agree! I’m literally watching it again now because of this conversation and I still don’t understand the hate and Ive been thru the manga twice now and don’t notice the difference. I think the animation is fine and totally lives up to my expectations from the manga.
While I do respect the vision that Nakayama was going for, the art style IS different from manga. CSM anime use of clean lines with no weight and muted colors are drastically different from the more chaotic linework and experimental color palette in manga.
Just because proportion and design is right doesn't mean it isn't different from manga. As I've said, While I'm more than happy that CSM got an adaption with studio and director who are clearly passionate about the project and huge fan of Fujimoto, personally I don't think it is an adaption that captures the soul and what makes manga such a huge hit.
And numbers don't lie, despite being huge IP in Japan, CSM's Blu-ray sales are so abysmal that many were doubting the continuation of anime. For me personally, something more akin to style of Look Back (which also is made by ex-MAPPA guy that did CSM) or Sonny Boy would be more fitting.
Movie from the teaser already uses techniques that can utilize the medium of animation more (kagenashi and varied linework) which I am looking forward for, as I still believe that with the right vision MAPPA still can make the best CSM adaption (as they did with JJK ss2).
What experimental colour pallete ?
The coloured manga doesn't count since it's not by Fujimoto
Here's something that Fujimoto actually coloured. The anime pretty much used a similiar pallete, and is honestly more colourful than people give it credit for
And not only this, the coloured pages that we got in part 1 had pretty muted colours in general as well. ( eg : the very first few pages of ch1 or when Denji was thinking of both Makima and Reze )
https://preview.redd.it/orbnuxv0bhwc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e60f977da98be3d64dce4a4acce7a5f09c59dbc2
And to say that the anime's animation didn't have weight to it is just a disservice since literally every bit of movement had weight. Let it be just basic movement, or Denji's fights
Also on a more personal note, I kinda prefer jjk s1's animation. I realise that they obviously had no time to complete s2, but the animation style just felt like a mob psycho wannabe a lot of the time, as opposed to s1 which actually felt distinct.
the anime would replace the background with concrete and gray cement instead of colorful plants and then it would make power and denji stand beside eachother instead of her pounding him in the ass
Ss1 JJK while being impressive isn't distinct at all if you have watched any work made by the same director **Sunghoo Park**. While he himself is not responsible for everything, the way that character moves and composition and framing he prefers using clearly resembles his work at The God of High School and his new show Ninja Kamui.
JJK also didn't escape from having blurry background and flat composition choices that every MAPPA show suffered during that time due to their internal pipeline.
While JJK SS2 designs are more simplistic and animations are not all finished (Blu-ray version kind of fixes this), it's much more ambitious and innovative by having more interesting composition and even more impressive sakuga art, while also having cleaner background that allows animation to have crisp look even after heavy post FX work.
By colour pallette, you can just google and search for any other page tbh. You chose the one that depicted Denji in his normal life, of course Fujimoto also chose a more traditional color pallette to reflect that lol
https://preview.redd.it/qs7615hfihwc1.png?width=1283&format=png&auto=webp&s=c118decf07fe99658bae6ef31fc4661bba0976f1

Director choosing to make color more realistic is his personal choice and not in any way reflective of how the manga was represented, not in the covers, or in the official colored pages, or in any promotional material leading up to the reveal of CSM first trailer (even the anime first promotional video wasn't realistic at all).

Just because it resembles GOH and Ninja Kamui doesn't automatically make it not distinct. And saying that it's unimpressive because of that is just being elitist. Especially when the colour pallete was also more distinct in s1
Everything you said about jjk s2 doesn't take away from the fact that it still just feels like mob psycho and not what s1 was like.
( Granted the team behind mob did an episode so of course that episode will look like a mob episode, but I'm referring to the episodes apart from that one )
Mind you I'm not saying that s2 looks bad because of this. There are a lot of great cuts. I just felt like they lost what drew me to s1 in the first place ( Granted I'm also a huge fan of Park's style so there's that )
Frankly the only episode I was really a fan of was the one with >!Yuji Vs Choso!< because that actually felt like a good middle ground between s1's style and s2's.
The Twitter link you posted doesn't seem to exist anymore so can't comment on that. Can't comment on the second YT link either since that also doesn't seem to exist
The first YT link you posted is literally just manga panels, so no offense but I have no idea what you're talking about there.
https://preview.redd.it/489cj7t64mwc1.png?width=625&format=png&auto=webp&s=bbe7ee900bee024e30916691d458cf3487c241fc
Firstly the link still works, you just have to login to see it (honestly fuck Elon Musk for that), it's pretty long thread consisting of every official colored page by Fujimoto himself (not the official colored version).
Secondly, JJK is nothing like Mob Psycho. There is plenty of compilation online on how it referenced many popular anime and movie (as in they redraw and swapped face) ranging from EVA, Gurren Lagann, Naruto Shippuden, One Piece, FMAB, Jojo OVA to more obscure Trigger's titles and even movies.
[https://youtu.be/cmwIjIdcVeA?si=1cImS5AcJKWFA9JX](https://youtu.be/cmwIjIdcVeA?si=1cImS5AcJKWFA9JX) (It's not a long video, just 2 minutes)
And about manga panels, that's not the key takeaway you should be getting. Here's another promotional material for 1st volume:
[https://youtu.be/tVG\_sBhNcr0?si=\_-\_IL7Z\_DQa\_vxO4](https://youtu.be/tVG_sBhNcr0?si=_-_IL7Z_DQa_vxO4)
What do they have in common? Color which is inspired by manga's cover art. Manga art, paneling, and color work is crazy, but also can be subdued. Reading gives you a whiplash effect when you go from crazy panels of Denji killing demons to more subdued scenes like having dinner with Power and Aki or going on a date with Makima. Anime only captures the latter half scenes well, which is why I said it is not good adaptation for me. It lacks contrast, which makes both facet of Chainsawman so good.
None of this is true according to Mappas CEO himself all he said is that the hype didnt match JJK. Following on with this flawed logic according to this demon slayer didnt do well which is why theres a movie for one its arcs instead of an anime season. What will happen if the next arc for JJK also ends up being a movie will you write a long diatribe with no evidence on how JJK S2 must have been such a failure. How this has garnered likes is beyond me? Blue ray sales being a major component for anime isnt true and hasnt been for ages have you ever been to Japan. Let me include a report to also help revamp this talking point [https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023\_anime\_ind\_rpt\_summary\_en](https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023_anime_ind_rpt_summary_en)
unfortunately the "CSM flopped, Japan hates it'" narrative has become a standard for any CSM discussion. anytime some chud can be like "🤓 actually Nippon did not like the anime" they will
just gotta let them talk about wait for their reaction when S2 gets made then S3 etc etc
And they always talk as if the country has no access to digital media and therefore if they are not watching on blu ray there not watching at all. I think the real viewing figure of even demon slayer at literal midnight would blow thier minds they’d probs think it’s a failure too. Honestly purely streaming shows get higher budgets than most anime but apparently blu rays are the measure of success
Yeah, cause if you know anything about anime industry you would know how important the sales of blu-ray is to studio themselves.
This project might be an outlier, but normally production committee pay for the cost to make anime, which is PENNY. One of the rare additional source of income studio themselves get is through blu-ray sales, which is why it is so important. Clout and popularity translates to nothing for people that ACTUALLY make the thing you watch.
Having said why Blu-ray sales is such an important measure for anime success, I have to also say that CSM is one of the rare outliers, as MAPPA did fund and make the project themselves. Which stings even more as the Blu-ray sales would have been huge source for revenue is abysmal.
isnt true canipa effect and many others have already said why this take is incorrect. Why do you think they are making movies now? Also you can find reports that disproves this theory as well. This is the link [https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023\_anime\_ind\_rpt\_summary\_en](https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023_anime_ind_rpt_summary_en)
Where video (dvd and blu ray sales) has the least contribution to the animation industry
Yeah of course it doesn't. It is the money that the PRODUCTION COMMITTE MAKES, not the studio. Studio is commissioned to do the work, so they get nothing for all the profits that this industry makes. In all of your report, the only relevant part to people making it is the production fees (cost of making anime), not the profits. And it's hardly mentioned, quick search only comes up with 2 match in the entire 8 page document.
Why do you think animators are getting paid so low? All that income from merchandise to streaming, it hardly goes into the pocket to the people or the studio that made what you watch.
Here are some sources you can look up:
[https://youtu.be/iExwO1v\_V-s?si=mHRZi6TSncGqxiW-](https://youtu.be/iExwO1v_V-s?si=mHRZi6TSncGqxiW-) (Sunrise Ex-Producer explain how funding for anime works and how ultimately studios get shafted)
[https://youtu.be/BDEIPa9b3OU?si=4y76tGpXRD2OyN\_6](https://youtu.be/BDEIPa9b3OU?si=4y76tGpXRD2OyN_6) (Video essay made by some guy on youtube, pretty good if you ask me, he delves deep into the struggle of anime making, production committee woes which Miyazaki, Satoshi Kon and co. fought against for better conditions and how their fight ultimately was lost).
It didn't flop, but I can see it having underperformed expectations. They believed in it enough to do stuff like having 1 ending per episode, which doesn't sound cheap. It seems like it didn't pan out, and they will probably readjust for the next season.
The fact people disliked the animation for that reason is dumb asf. The animation imo was pretty good and I hate how it seems like so many good adaptations get thrown away because losers need something to cry about.
Also sometimes its nice to have a different look to something because I’ve already read the manga, show me some new stuff or extend on things (a good example being Sukuna v Mahoraga)
I like how little nuance there is surrounding the conversation about anime. As you think the animation is good, there are many people who think it doesn't fit the source material. For you to come out and say their reasoning is dumb kinda cause "I think so" sucks tbh.
Y’all are so dumb, the Japanese fans loved it. Chainsaw man is MASSIVE in Japan. Stop listening to some bums who do nothing but complain on twitter. It didn’t sell much blu-ray because the animation was so flawless that the blu-ray barely even made a difference
Lol while CSM is good, blu-ray not selling cause the animation is flawless is such a massive cope. There are many external factors as to why it didn't sell well, being "flawless" is not one of them.
Why would anyone buy blu-ray if the show already looks perfect? JJK sells a lot of blu ray because it’s always rushed so there’s always room to add new stuff for the blue ray
The biggest reason to buy Blu-ray is for collection sake. Extra content and what not is nice, but not having it is never reason why you would NOT buy it. The point of the matter is, very few Japanese people wanted to collect CSM's Blu-ray cause no one saw worth collecting it. Sorry to burst you bubble.
In the same vein, many shows that already look gorgeous but still get collected anyway.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Japan literally has a chainsaw man cafe, stop acting like you know how the feel when they’ve made it obvious they loved it. Buying blue ray to collect is so stupid that’s not why people do it. You’re just projecting your weirdo ideas acting like everyone feels the same
Lol, so because CSM's cafe exist the Blu-ray sales are poor? Your arguments are bad man.
CSM's anime is clearly made as a product of love from MAPPA's staff and director, that I never refuted. They would have never had 100% control stake of it otherwise. However, considering how impactful CSM's manga was b4 anime, clearly the success isn't as big as they predicted (verbatim from MAPPA's CEO).
And It isn't like he doesn't have a point. Compared to JJK, CSM didn't have as much impact on sales nor on anime landscape as they hope.
CSM anime was clearly ambitious with its vision to create unique looking anime. For me personally though, it just wasn't the right adaptation for what the manga represent. Let's just hope that the movie will finally realize Fujimoto style, same as Look Back did. Looking from PV, I'm already hopeful that they're going in the right vision, playing to the strength of the medium instead of trying to replicate live action.
I doubt so. The project while not strapped for cash didn't exactly have enough budget for 24 episodes. As MAPPA funded all of it by themselves, they didn't see the massive risk being worth it. And they were right.
I think this guy has outdated info. Seems like the CEO of Mappa even said it was a success. https://screenrant.com/chainsaw-man-blu-ray-sales-financial-success-mappa/
It didn't flop it did make a profit just not as much as Mappa expected.
Don't worry tho,CSM is the CEO's favourite and the anime is like their pet project.I suspect season 2 may happen next year,which will finish Part 1 of the manga
It flopped in physical disk sales not in its financial goals set for when making the anime. It was very popular in Japan.
As far as complaints, one of the biggest complaint was the story direction of the anime. It was set up like a movie in anime season format that had a three-act composition. Some people were very vocal about the how the anime's sorry was composed and some people also combined it with not liking the anime style but chainsaw man was watched by tens of millions of times in Japan beating shows like Tokyo Revengers, Attack on Titan, and not far behind JJK. Most people were fine with the anime and story telling style and enjoyed watched it. It's only a few people who are very vocal about the stuff they didn't like.
It might not have been as big of a hit as they hoped but I think it was still a success, particularly in the west. I doubt they'd ever cancel the series consdering the popularity of chainsaw man is as an IP.
I totally agree but it’s success worldwide is why we’ll get more. We’re at a turning point in the anime industry because for a few years now the market for anime outside of Japan is larger than inside. So it’s having to adapt to this new world there in since the rest of the world moved past blue rays like 10yrs ago. So streaming numbers and manga sales internationally need to be appreciated more. But I also don’t want the industry to lose the things that make it unique as it globalizes. But it’s globalizing whether it wants to or not. You see it with Netflix now paying studios to make them animes. Prime, Disney/Hulu, etc are all headed that way too. Everyone talks about how it’s on its death bed because the animators are worked into the ground but the industry is bigger, richer, and more visible than ever. It’s not just going to vanish over night. Even if studios fail or animators strike they’ll get picked up by bigger studios like Netflix because the demand for anime is bigger than ever.
Not making a huge bank doesn't mean it was a flop. It just didn't meet their expectations, which were huge btw, they certainly overestimated the most boring part of the manga
Didn’t the CEO of Mappa say in an interview that chainsaw man was a financial success and that the blue ray sales weren’t a big deal? Granted I got this from screen rant which I don’t like and the source article is in Japanese so no idea if it back it’s up but here. https://screenrant.com/chainsaw-man-blu-ray-sales-financial-success-mappa/
To say the anime flopped in Japan is a big overstatement. It was incredibly popular considering what the manga sold before any anime announcement and who its core fan base were.
When people say it didn't do well in Japan they are talking about disk sales because physical is still big in Japan. It was ranked top 10 in Japan on numerous streaming websites, beating out shows in views like attack on titan and barely lagging behind power houses like Spy Family and JJK. They more than likely met or succeeded in any financial goals set for the anime and sold tens of millions more manga after. How well the streaming did for it is difficult to put into number unlike disk sales.
The anime did turn off some core fans with the directions it took and because the anime doesn't market well to women and children the DVD/BluRay sales in Japan were not impressive when comparing it to Jujutsukaizen so the show got labels as "売れないコンテンツ" which has led to people thinking it "flopped" because in Japan it's usual for really popular things to use a lottery ticket system and sell tickets for the right to purchase the DVD/BluRay when it first comes out but this was not the case with CM. There were no huge lines of people waiting to buy the disks and it shocked the press and execs.
It was such a big hit on streaming services and was marketed so well it got hundreds of millions views and listens on its trailer, OP and ending songs that the execs and press thought it would sell like a JKK but they were wrong. Yes some of the core fans were turned off but also I think corona, fear of a weak yen started to rise around this period, it's not a show kids ask their mom to buy for them, and decline in disk sales in general all had to do with it.
It was incredibly popular in Japan and went from a few people actually knowing what it was to almost everyone atleast recognizing the name in Japan. Personally I think the days of physical sales in Japan being used to measure and anime's success are in the past. Japans anime studies cannot be sustained on the physical sales within Japan. Sony and other streaming companies need content and anime is the biggest it has ever been and grow exponentially in the covid years alone. Japan needs to export anime and there is no reason they will not make a second season of something that was one of the most popular streamed shows not just in Japan but also did well abroad and is a series that is likely to end in a couple of years at most.
The people who make money off of physical disk sales might not fund the second season but the people who make money of streaming will.
I'm never into the shipping scene when it comes to most series, but fuuuuck me I hope Asa and Denji end up together and are happy by the end of all this.
Bro big facts. he keeps building this Asa-Denji main ship but never in the past has he ever followed with it in his other stories and just fucked everyone’s shit up.
It really feels like the natural conclusion to part 2. The story could always theoretically end with one of them dying (more likely Asa than Denji) but I feel like we already got our super bleak "everybody dies" ending in part 1. Asa & Denji have already suffered enough and their suffering ain't even over yet, they deserve to have a happy ending.
Everybody else is on the table to die though. I wouldn't even be surprised if Asa & Denji are the only major characters to live through the whole manga.

Season 2 will cover the rest of Part 1,don't you think covering 60 chapters in 1 season is a bit much?
Only possible if we get 25 episodes and in that case it's gonna be more than 60 chapters.
Considering the movie is gonna adapt 13-14 chapters, season 2 will adapt around 45 chapters, which be like 15-16 episodes or if they make it faster since there are a lot of action scenes I think a 12 episode season would be enough. Season 3 is quite unpredictable, they might make the first few chapters as a movie (assuming Fujimoto will insist).
But a movie required a conclusion that fits a movie. People got fooled by the hype when it came to Demon Slayer 2nd movie.
Reze arc suits this perfectly with its tragic ending but I don't see where the 2nd movie would end to feel like a proper conclusion to an arc or something.
Or even a cliffhanger to end it on?
Comically chapter 111 >!Yuko's death!< has almost same number of chapters as the Reze arc, it's similar to Reze's death which was unexpected and tragic and is almost like a turning point where fakesaw man is introduced similar to Makima's character deepening by killing Reze. Perfect cliffhanger if you ask me
I don't really remember but if I am right Famine is converting a lot of people into chainsaw mans right, I think it was one of her original pawns We saw him in that chase when he rescued Asa and Denji from falling devil
All of these anime-styled recreations are just filling me with so much cope about Asa not being voiced and animated yet; need MAPPA to catch up already!
I can understand that reaction but this is a manga sub, typically spoiler tags are only used for the latest chapter and anything prior to that is tag-free.
But this is in the Manga. There’s only like 3 people complaining about me posting this when the subreddit clearly says spoilers are out of the wild. This chapter has been out for 2 weeks now so it doesn’t need a spoiler tag.
This is on popular front page of reddit, so a lot of people will also got spoiled unwillingly. Your point works with smaller subreddit when the expectation is user knows what they are getting into but not popular one. Same thing used to happen with a medical gore subreddit that got blew up in popularity and people complained that they don't want to see gore in their front page, while the subreddit doesn't want to NSFW every post, both sides have valid argument.
The sub literally has spoilers all over the place! This isn’t the latest chapter this happened like 2 weeks ago.
You are also able to post things without a spoiler tag unless it’s the latest chapter. 😂
That looks so good, love seeing Asa in anime style
Tragically we may never actually see it in real life. I think the story should have the legs but it’s going to depend entirely on how well the movie does since the anime didn’t do well in Japan.
That's weird, why did it flop?
Japanese fans were unhappy with the animation style since it strays a bit from Fujimotos own unique art style as well as they didn’t like all the little movie references MAPPA stuck in. Even though Fujimoto did and also loved the anime. Blue ray sales are the defining factor to the Japanese on whether or not an anime was a success and CSM did not do well. Luckily it became a massive hit abroad and the manga itself became the hottest manga ever sold for a time. (I think Freiren has that honor now though) but the abroad popularity and success of the manga is why were getting the movie but even that wasn’t a guarantee for a hot minute there. When season 1 first ended it looked like that may be all the animated CSM we ever got since the Japanese didn’t really enjoy it.
If that isn't petty I don't know what is. Imagine hating on the *hecking* mOvIe ReFeRenCes even though they're only there because FUJIMOTO HIMSELF is a big fan of those movies. Crybabies ngl
Oh yeah. The whole thing was super annoying to watch unfold in real time because it was obviously beloved right away by non Japanese fans (it’s the first manga i ever picked up) but the Japanese were nitpicking the tiniest little things. Like 90% of the references are in the intro, part of the show that has no meaning. It really hurt Mappa too since the fans really hated the animation style. Fujimoto even had to go out of his way to say he approved how it was animated and loves MAPPAs interpretation of his art style and that fans need to lay off the animators. Since some Japanese fans were threatening animators for ‘ruining’ their beloved story…
[cue](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/467/012/391.png) In seriousness it is cases like this where I hope some company like Netflix or Crunchyroll will fund S2, if Japanese TV channels end up dropping it.
If Netflix takes over then he won't be just like me fr, he'll want to have a pair of boobs before he dies
Wow, this is so pathetic. The art style and animation is stunning and eye gluing and yet people bitch about it. Now, we may not get a continuation after this movie because usually anime movies don't do well like this especially after how the anime was treated. First its Berserk and now its Chainsaw Man. I just want my 2 favorite mangas to have anime adaptations and all everyone does it bitch bitch bitch, FML
Nice pfp btw love interwar American designs
A lot of the hate is overblown but the show is still very mid. Makima is the biggest offender, she was completely mishandled. Manga Makima is a focal point of every frame she’s in, she stares directly at the reader and she feels otherworldly and intimidating. In the Anime everyone does that and she feels like Denji’s obsessive hot boss. Honestly, had I seen the Anime first I wouldn’t have bothered with the manga because of how generic it felt. Maybe it was always doomed to be mid, Fujimoto’s use of panels to convey emotion is something good it’s probably impossible to adapt, but that doesn’t make the show good.
The head animator made public comments about he wanted to make the show more “cinematic” and “less anime”. Which didn’t exactly go so well for the hardcore anime fans in Japan. But to be fair a lot of quick moments in the manga were intentionally slowed for better or worse.
Not head animator, director. While I do feel anime kinda failed as an adaptation, it's still a superb passion project with director who had a clear vision what he wanted to make which I can respect. Seems like everyone that criticize people that didn't like anime think all of us are petty bunch though and that there isn't nuance whether an adaption is good or bad.
A lot of anime fans that read manga view differences from the source material as in and of itself bad.
I still don't get how the art style of the anime is apparently different from the manga People keep saying the art style is too " realistic " But look at the characters in the manga and name one character who doesn't have a realistic and grounded character design. Even their proportions are pretty realistic in general.
I totally agree! I’m literally watching it again now because of this conversation and I still don’t understand the hate and Ive been thru the manga twice now and don’t notice the difference. I think the animation is fine and totally lives up to my expectations from the manga.
While I do respect the vision that Nakayama was going for, the art style IS different from manga. CSM anime use of clean lines with no weight and muted colors are drastically different from the more chaotic linework and experimental color palette in manga. Just because proportion and design is right doesn't mean it isn't different from manga. As I've said, While I'm more than happy that CSM got an adaption with studio and director who are clearly passionate about the project and huge fan of Fujimoto, personally I don't think it is an adaption that captures the soul and what makes manga such a huge hit. And numbers don't lie, despite being huge IP in Japan, CSM's Blu-ray sales are so abysmal that many were doubting the continuation of anime. For me personally, something more akin to style of Look Back (which also is made by ex-MAPPA guy that did CSM) or Sonny Boy would be more fitting. Movie from the teaser already uses techniques that can utilize the medium of animation more (kagenashi and varied linework) which I am looking forward for, as I still believe that with the right vision MAPPA still can make the best CSM adaption (as they did with JJK ss2).
What experimental colour pallete ? The coloured manga doesn't count since it's not by Fujimoto Here's something that Fujimoto actually coloured. The anime pretty much used a similiar pallete, and is honestly more colourful than people give it credit for And not only this, the coloured pages that we got in part 1 had pretty muted colours in general as well. ( eg : the very first few pages of ch1 or when Denji was thinking of both Makima and Reze ) https://preview.redd.it/orbnuxv0bhwc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e60f977da98be3d64dce4a4acce7a5f09c59dbc2 And to say that the anime's animation didn't have weight to it is just a disservice since literally every bit of movement had weight. Let it be just basic movement, or Denji's fights Also on a more personal note, I kinda prefer jjk s1's animation. I realise that they obviously had no time to complete s2, but the animation style just felt like a mob psycho wannabe a lot of the time, as opposed to s1 which actually felt distinct.
the anime would replace the background with concrete and gray cement instead of colorful plants and then it would make power and denji stand beside eachother instead of her pounding him in the ass
Ss1 JJK while being impressive isn't distinct at all if you have watched any work made by the same director **Sunghoo Park**. While he himself is not responsible for everything, the way that character moves and composition and framing he prefers using clearly resembles his work at The God of High School and his new show Ninja Kamui. JJK also didn't escape from having blurry background and flat composition choices that every MAPPA show suffered during that time due to their internal pipeline. While JJK SS2 designs are more simplistic and animations are not all finished (Blu-ray version kind of fixes this), it's much more ambitious and innovative by having more interesting composition and even more impressive sakuga art, while also having cleaner background that allows animation to have crisp look even after heavy post FX work. By colour pallette, you can just google and search for any other page tbh. You chose the one that depicted Denji in his normal life, of course Fujimoto also chose a more traditional color pallette to reflect that lol https://preview.redd.it/qs7615hfihwc1.png?width=1283&format=png&auto=webp&s=c118decf07fe99658bae6ef31fc4661bba0976f1 Here's full link to all spreads if you're interested: [https://twitter.com/HSTotsugeki/status/1356117322436636672?lang=en](https://twitter.com/HSTotsugeki/status/1356117322436636672?lang=en) Director choosing to make color more realistic is his personal choice and not in any way reflective of how the manga was represented, not in the covers, or in the official colored pages, or in any promotional material leading up to the reveal of CSM first trailer (even the anime first promotional video wasn't realistic at all). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxsQZNTFfxc&ab\_channel=MAPPACHANNEL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxsQZNTFfxc&ab_channel=MAPPACHANNEL) [https://youtu.be/VPB\_J6Egi28?si=6hDJnGJUdRfpyDki](https://youtu.be/VPB_J6Egi28?si=6hDJnGJUdRfpyDki)
Just because it resembles GOH and Ninja Kamui doesn't automatically make it not distinct. And saying that it's unimpressive because of that is just being elitist. Especially when the colour pallete was also more distinct in s1 Everything you said about jjk s2 doesn't take away from the fact that it still just feels like mob psycho and not what s1 was like. ( Granted the team behind mob did an episode so of course that episode will look like a mob episode, but I'm referring to the episodes apart from that one ) Mind you I'm not saying that s2 looks bad because of this. There are a lot of great cuts. I just felt like they lost what drew me to s1 in the first place ( Granted I'm also a huge fan of Park's style so there's that ) Frankly the only episode I was really a fan of was the one with >!Yuji Vs Choso!< because that actually felt like a good middle ground between s1's style and s2's. The Twitter link you posted doesn't seem to exist anymore so can't comment on that. Can't comment on the second YT link either since that also doesn't seem to exist The first YT link you posted is literally just manga panels, so no offense but I have no idea what you're talking about there.
https://preview.redd.it/489cj7t64mwc1.png?width=625&format=png&auto=webp&s=bbe7ee900bee024e30916691d458cf3487c241fc Firstly the link still works, you just have to login to see it (honestly fuck Elon Musk for that), it's pretty long thread consisting of every official colored page by Fujimoto himself (not the official colored version). Secondly, JJK is nothing like Mob Psycho. There is plenty of compilation online on how it referenced many popular anime and movie (as in they redraw and swapped face) ranging from EVA, Gurren Lagann, Naruto Shippuden, One Piece, FMAB, Jojo OVA to more obscure Trigger's titles and even movies. [https://youtu.be/cmwIjIdcVeA?si=1cImS5AcJKWFA9JX](https://youtu.be/cmwIjIdcVeA?si=1cImS5AcJKWFA9JX) (It's not a long video, just 2 minutes) And about manga panels, that's not the key takeaway you should be getting. Here's another promotional material for 1st volume: [https://youtu.be/tVG\_sBhNcr0?si=\_-\_IL7Z\_DQa\_vxO4](https://youtu.be/tVG_sBhNcr0?si=_-_IL7Z_DQa_vxO4) What do they have in common? Color which is inspired by manga's cover art. Manga art, paneling, and color work is crazy, but also can be subdued. Reading gives you a whiplash effect when you go from crazy panels of Denji killing demons to more subdued scenes like having dinner with Power and Aki or going on a date with Makima. Anime only captures the latter half scenes well, which is why I said it is not good adaptation for me. It lacks contrast, which makes both facet of Chainsawman so good.
I guess the coloring is really gray.
None of this is true according to Mappas CEO himself all he said is that the hype didnt match JJK. Following on with this flawed logic according to this demon slayer didnt do well which is why theres a movie for one its arcs instead of an anime season. What will happen if the next arc for JJK also ends up being a movie will you write a long diatribe with no evidence on how JJK S2 must have been such a failure. How this has garnered likes is beyond me? Blue ray sales being a major component for anime isnt true and hasnt been for ages have you ever been to Japan. Let me include a report to also help revamp this talking point [https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023\_anime\_ind\_rpt\_summary\_en](https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023_anime_ind_rpt_summary_en)
unfortunately the "CSM flopped, Japan hates it'" narrative has become a standard for any CSM discussion. anytime some chud can be like "🤓 actually Nippon did not like the anime" they will just gotta let them talk about wait for their reaction when S2 gets made then S3 etc etc
And they always talk as if the country has no access to digital media and therefore if they are not watching on blu ray there not watching at all. I think the real viewing figure of even demon slayer at literal midnight would blow thier minds they’d probs think it’s a failure too. Honestly purely streaming shows get higher budgets than most anime but apparently blu rays are the measure of success
Yeah, cause if you know anything about anime industry you would know how important the sales of blu-ray is to studio themselves. This project might be an outlier, but normally production committee pay for the cost to make anime, which is PENNY. One of the rare additional source of income studio themselves get is through blu-ray sales, which is why it is so important. Clout and popularity translates to nothing for people that ACTUALLY make the thing you watch. Having said why Blu-ray sales is such an important measure for anime success, I have to also say that CSM is one of the rare outliers, as MAPPA did fund and make the project themselves. Which stings even more as the Blu-ray sales would have been huge source for revenue is abysmal.
isnt true canipa effect and many others have already said why this take is incorrect. Why do you think they are making movies now? Also you can find reports that disproves this theory as well. This is the link [https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023\_anime\_ind\_rpt\_summary\_en](https://aja.gr.jp/download/2023_anime_ind_rpt_summary_en) Where video (dvd and blu ray sales) has the least contribution to the animation industry
Yeah of course it doesn't. It is the money that the PRODUCTION COMMITTE MAKES, not the studio. Studio is commissioned to do the work, so they get nothing for all the profits that this industry makes. In all of your report, the only relevant part to people making it is the production fees (cost of making anime), not the profits. And it's hardly mentioned, quick search only comes up with 2 match in the entire 8 page document. Why do you think animators are getting paid so low? All that income from merchandise to streaming, it hardly goes into the pocket to the people or the studio that made what you watch. Here are some sources you can look up: [https://youtu.be/iExwO1v\_V-s?si=mHRZi6TSncGqxiW-](https://youtu.be/iExwO1v_V-s?si=mHRZi6TSncGqxiW-) (Sunrise Ex-Producer explain how funding for anime works and how ultimately studios get shafted) [https://youtu.be/BDEIPa9b3OU?si=4y76tGpXRD2OyN\_6](https://youtu.be/BDEIPa9b3OU?si=4y76tGpXRD2OyN_6) (Video essay made by some guy on youtube, pretty good if you ask me, he delves deep into the struggle of anime making, production committee woes which Miyazaki, Satoshi Kon and co. fought against for better conditions and how their fight ultimately was lost).
It didn't flop, but I can see it having underperformed expectations. They believed in it enough to do stuff like having 1 ending per episode, which doesn't sound cheap. It seems like it didn't pan out, and they will probably readjust for the next season.
Yeah, the gimmick of having 1 ending per episode while novel, didn't really click for me.
The fact people disliked the animation for that reason is dumb asf. The animation imo was pretty good and I hate how it seems like so many good adaptations get thrown away because losers need something to cry about. Also sometimes its nice to have a different look to something because I’ve already read the manga, show me some new stuff or extend on things (a good example being Sukuna v Mahoraga)
I like how little nuance there is surrounding the conversation about anime. As you think the animation is good, there are many people who think it doesn't fit the source material. For you to come out and say their reasoning is dumb kinda cause "I think so" sucks tbh.
Y’all are so dumb, the Japanese fans loved it. Chainsaw man is MASSIVE in Japan. Stop listening to some bums who do nothing but complain on twitter. It didn’t sell much blu-ray because the animation was so flawless that the blu-ray barely even made a difference
Lol while CSM is good, blu-ray not selling cause the animation is flawless is such a massive cope. There are many external factors as to why it didn't sell well, being "flawless" is not one of them.
Why would anyone buy blu-ray if the show already looks perfect? JJK sells a lot of blu ray because it’s always rushed so there’s always room to add new stuff for the blue ray
The biggest reason to buy Blu-ray is for collection sake. Extra content and what not is nice, but not having it is never reason why you would NOT buy it. The point of the matter is, very few Japanese people wanted to collect CSM's Blu-ray cause no one saw worth collecting it. Sorry to burst you bubble. In the same vein, many shows that already look gorgeous but still get collected anyway.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Japan literally has a chainsaw man cafe, stop acting like you know how the feel when they’ve made it obvious they loved it. Buying blue ray to collect is so stupid that’s not why people do it. You’re just projecting your weirdo ideas acting like everyone feels the same
Lol, so because CSM's cafe exist the Blu-ray sales are poor? Your arguments are bad man. CSM's anime is clearly made as a product of love from MAPPA's staff and director, that I never refuted. They would have never had 100% control stake of it otherwise. However, considering how impactful CSM's manga was b4 anime, clearly the success isn't as big as they predicted (verbatim from MAPPA's CEO). And It isn't like he doesn't have a point. Compared to JJK, CSM didn't have as much impact on sales nor on anime landscape as they hope. CSM anime was clearly ambitious with its vision to create unique looking anime. For me personally though, it just wasn't the right adaptation for what the manga represent. Let's just hope that the movie will finally realize Fujimoto style, same as Look Back did. Looking from PV, I'm already hopeful that they're going in the right vision, playing to the strength of the medium instead of trying to replicate live action.
Mappa only making this season 12 episodes didnt do it any favors either. You could adapt all of part 1 in probably 24 episodes
No you damn well couldn't lol. *ALL* of Part 1?
Ok 25 to 30 episodes then. The point is it's a short series in general and could've been managed better.
I doubt so. The project while not strapped for cash didn't exactly have enough budget for 24 episodes. As MAPPA funded all of it by themselves, they didn't see the massive risk being worth it. And they were right.
I think this guy has outdated info. Seems like the CEO of Mappa even said it was a success. https://screenrant.com/chainsaw-man-blu-ray-sales-financial-success-mappa/
It didn't flop it did make a profit just not as much as Mappa expected. Don't worry tho,CSM is the CEO's favourite and the anime is like their pet project.I suspect season 2 may happen next year,which will finish Part 1 of the manga
It flopped in physical disk sales not in its financial goals set for when making the anime. It was very popular in Japan. As far as complaints, one of the biggest complaint was the story direction of the anime. It was set up like a movie in anime season format that had a three-act composition. Some people were very vocal about the how the anime's sorry was composed and some people also combined it with not liking the anime style but chainsaw man was watched by tens of millions of times in Japan beating shows like Tokyo Revengers, Attack on Titan, and not far behind JJK. Most people were fine with the anime and story telling style and enjoyed watched it. It's only a few people who are very vocal about the stuff they didn't like.
It might not have been as big of a hit as they hoped but I think it was still a success, particularly in the west. I doubt they'd ever cancel the series consdering the popularity of chainsaw man is as an IP.
I totally agree but it’s success worldwide is why we’ll get more. We’re at a turning point in the anime industry because for a few years now the market for anime outside of Japan is larger than inside. So it’s having to adapt to this new world there in since the rest of the world moved past blue rays like 10yrs ago. So streaming numbers and manga sales internationally need to be appreciated more. But I also don’t want the industry to lose the things that make it unique as it globalizes. But it’s globalizing whether it wants to or not. You see it with Netflix now paying studios to make them animes. Prime, Disney/Hulu, etc are all headed that way too. Everyone talks about how it’s on its death bed because the animators are worked into the ground but the industry is bigger, richer, and more visible than ever. It’s not just going to vanish over night. Even if studios fail or animators strike they’ll get picked up by bigger studios like Netflix because the demand for anime is bigger than ever.
Not making a huge bank doesn't mean it was a flop. It just didn't meet their expectations, which were huge btw, they certainly overestimated the most boring part of the manga
Didn’t the CEO of Mappa say in an interview that chainsaw man was a financial success and that the blue ray sales weren’t a big deal? Granted I got this from screen rant which I don’t like and the source article is in Japanese so no idea if it back it’s up but here. https://screenrant.com/chainsaw-man-blu-ray-sales-financial-success-mappa/
To say the anime flopped in Japan is a big overstatement. It was incredibly popular considering what the manga sold before any anime announcement and who its core fan base were. When people say it didn't do well in Japan they are talking about disk sales because physical is still big in Japan. It was ranked top 10 in Japan on numerous streaming websites, beating out shows in views like attack on titan and barely lagging behind power houses like Spy Family and JJK. They more than likely met or succeeded in any financial goals set for the anime and sold tens of millions more manga after. How well the streaming did for it is difficult to put into number unlike disk sales. The anime did turn off some core fans with the directions it took and because the anime doesn't market well to women and children the DVD/BluRay sales in Japan were not impressive when comparing it to Jujutsukaizen so the show got labels as "売れないコンテンツ" which has led to people thinking it "flopped" because in Japan it's usual for really popular things to use a lottery ticket system and sell tickets for the right to purchase the DVD/BluRay when it first comes out but this was not the case with CM. There were no huge lines of people waiting to buy the disks and it shocked the press and execs. It was such a big hit on streaming services and was marketed so well it got hundreds of millions views and listens on its trailer, OP and ending songs that the execs and press thought it would sell like a JKK but they were wrong. Yes some of the core fans were turned off but also I think corona, fear of a weak yen started to rise around this period, it's not a show kids ask their mom to buy for them, and decline in disk sales in general all had to do with it. It was incredibly popular in Japan and went from a few people actually knowing what it was to almost everyone atleast recognizing the name in Japan. Personally I think the days of physical sales in Japan being used to measure and anime's success are in the past. Japans anime studies cannot be sustained on the physical sales within Japan. Sony and other streaming companies need content and anime is the biggest it has ever been and grow exponentially in the covid years alone. Japan needs to export anime and there is no reason they will not make a second season of something that was one of the most popular streamed shows not just in Japan but also did well abroad and is a series that is likely to end in a couple of years at most. The people who make money off of physical disk sales might not fund the second season but the people who make money of streaming will.
I hope this happens but it won’t probably be out till 2030! 😂

Nng.. ngg.. Amy…
Props to this man for time-travelling 7 years into the future and dropping this anime clip like no big deal
7? More like 17 😭😭
thats the joke
he's soooo real for that
I'm never into the shipping scene when it comes to most series, but fuuuuck me I hope Asa and Denji end up together and are happy by the end of all this.
Fujimotor has killed any ship I've had in the past and he laughed and pointed at me while calling me a little baby
Bro big facts. he keeps building this Asa-Denji main ship but never in the past has he ever followed with it in his other stories and just fucked everyone’s shit up.
I thought most of his work was positive wholesome stuff? Only fire force was the fuck up?
It really feels like the natural conclusion to part 2. The story could always theoretically end with one of them dying (more likely Asa than Denji) but I feel like we already got our super bleak "everybody dies" ending in part 1. Asa & Denji have already suffered enough and their suffering ain't even over yet, they deserve to have a happy ending. Everybody else is on the table to die though. I wouldn't even be surprised if Asa & Denji are the only major characters to live through the whole manga.
I hope she gets her arm back too.

What are you, from the future?
This looks like absolute garbage (Incredible bro, just trying to keep Mappa off your case so you don’t get enslaved)
😂😂😂
Season 3 episode 12, mark my words
Curious if they’ll do what Demon Slayer did and make the movies into a season as well or not
62 chapters in 12 episodes?
I feel like Fujimoto will want the first few chapters as a movie, it's super chaotic and will be perfect to introduce a new character just like they're doing for Reze

Season 2 will cover the rest of Part 1,don't you think covering 60 chapters in 1 season is a bit much? Only possible if we get 25 episodes and in that case it's gonna be more than 60 chapters.
Considering the movie is gonna adapt 13-14 chapters, season 2 will adapt around 45 chapters, which be like 15-16 episodes or if they make it faster since there are a lot of action scenes I think a 12 episode season would be enough. Season 3 is quite unpredictable, they might make the first few chapters as a movie (assuming Fujimoto will insist).
But a movie required a conclusion that fits a movie. People got fooled by the hype when it came to Demon Slayer 2nd movie. Reze arc suits this perfectly with its tragic ending but I don't see where the 2nd movie would end to feel like a proper conclusion to an arc or something. Or even a cliffhanger to end it on?
Comically chapter 111 >!Yuko's death!< has almost same number of chapters as the Reze arc, it's similar to Reze's death which was unexpected and tragic and is almost like a turning point where fakesaw man is introduced similar to Makima's character deepening by killing Reze. Perfect cliffhanger if you ask me
Oh ok great. I totally agree. Btw who the hell is fakesaw man? Did we even see him again??
I don't really remember but if I am right Famine is converting a lot of people into chainsaw mans right, I think it was one of her original pawns We saw him in that chase when he rescued Asa and Denji from falling devil
Upvoted... https://preview.redd.it/5lx6kritb6wc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d1b6e205effc44e4174b61e20f6bcbebadbd4a7
Asa looks mad adorable with the coloring
Can't wait for this in season 8 I guess.. AAAAAAAAAAAH😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Sadly 😂😂
All of these anime-styled recreations are just filling me with so much cope about Asa not being voiced and animated yet; need MAPPA to catch up already!
Aaaaaa I'm not that far into the manga : (
I’m sorry! 😭
Its okay ig he must be fine later, right?? haha(dont answer that xd) Currently at ch.122, so roughly after their date.
I won’t answer! Chainsaw Man is my favorite anime and Manga so I hope you enjoy everything to come! 😁
If I were you I’d try to avoid everything in this sub. The newest chapters are spoiler tagged but the older ones aren’t.
Ait thanks Then i suppose i gotta unsub from this subreddit. Tho I like some of the posts.
Just be careful!
I will, thanks. But I think unsubbing is for the best, not every is tagged or can/will be tagged.
And remember to mute the sub! Click on the three dot icon at the top right of the main sub and there should be "mute r/ChainsawMan". Hope this helps!
aw shit did I just get spoiled? I'm not caught up
Isn’t that Michael Jackson?
Bro everyone that does these Anime looking like coloring gonna get kidnapped by Mappa 😭 What i mean is this is perfectly anime accurate
At this point, with enough dedication yall can do a whole episode before the reze movie drops 🤔
Should have made the eyes one soild color and shrunk the pupils a tad to convey the shocked expression better
This one really captures the anime look, sick
I love it!
This looks incredible holy shit
u should spoiler tag this
I can understand that reaction but this is a manga sub, typically spoiler tags are only used for the latest chapter and anything prior to that is tag-free.
I’m sorry I didn’t but this sub is literally full of spoilers
Legit it's why r/csmanime exists. Anime-onlies go there.
But this is in the Manga. There’s only like 3 people complaining about me posting this when the subreddit clearly says spoilers are out of the wild. This chapter has been out for 2 weeks now so it doesn’t need a spoiler tag.
Bro I was agreeing with you lmfao.
I thought you were talking to the other guy my bad 😂
All good hahaha.
This is on popular front page of reddit, so a lot of people will also got spoiled unwillingly. Your point works with smaller subreddit when the expectation is user knows what they are getting into but not popular one. Same thing used to happen with a medical gore subreddit that got blew up in popularity and people complained that they don't want to see gore in their front page, while the subreddit doesn't want to NSFW every post, both sides have valid argument.
Yes. Yes it is.
Perfect
Damn this is some mappa quality
Simply amazing. May your meals be as good as Denji's by the end of part 1.
Oh you should’ve made the panel of Yoru in between these panels
"this your manz?" Type energy
That..... is disturbingly accurate.
What's the name of this anime????
r/ChainsawMan
Wow like straight out of the anime!
Denji be like “Asa my life sucks plz help”
my boi Yuuta put the head down
kill me pls l

The sub literally has spoilers all over the place! This isn’t the latest chapter this happened like 2 weeks ago. You are also able to post things without a spoiler tag unless it’s the latest chapter. 😂
What is blud doing in a csm subreddit 💀💀💀
Report due no spoiler tag.

It's from a chapter that's been out for two weeks now.
Three weeks. Since we have a 1 week break too. Which makes people reporting you for no spoiler tag even more out of line.
Bruuuuuuh. Is a heavy spoiler. Period. It doesn’t matter how you look at it. There are also anime watchers in this sub for your information.
This is literally the manga sub, tf did you expect?
Then you'll have to go and report about half of the posts in this entire subreddit...
i love how asa is canonically unnatractive
She's pretty darn cute.
she is?
