Do people get along with every fucking bullshit this author pulled off

Did anyone forced you to watch the movie or what? You are a fucking nobody. People are allowed to have different opinions from you. If you don't like the manga than don't watch the adaptation, its that simple. I do not like Demon Slayer so I stopped watching it like a normal person. You won't find me creating threads for Demon Slayer and pretending everyone is wrong for liking it. Mfs will hate watch movies and pretend the entire world is wrong because they don't like a piece of media.

The mangaka is not the main problem here.... it is people's expectations now. Just like in Hollywood, western games and how people act in their everyday lives.... people.... just... don't'..... want to uses their brains aka they dislike or get bored at everything that requires you use your brain. In conclusion while this is a culture problem nowadays this mangaka has taken advantage of it by creating something that undeniably visually impressive but with no substance or thought in the way he writes his stories. The main problem that we see here is the damage he has done to the shonen genre by himself directly since Chainsaw man is successful whether we like it or not and indirectly teaching this mindset and methods when it comes to writing to so many other mangaka that he had as assistants. For me I didn;t waste my money only because I have set my expectation low and I mostly wanted to see MAPPA's masterful animation in huge screen with huge speakers just like your average high budget movie -> Visually appealing & poor writing

@Yubisoft Your perspective is interesting but ultimately relies on a narrow definition of what constitutes "good writing."

To dismiss Chainsaw Man as style without substance ignores how its form is its substance. The chaotic pacing, raw character motivations, and visceral action are not flaws, theyre deliberate tools used to explore themes of existential emptiness, emotional deprivation, and what it means to be human in a broken world. Denji is not a poorly written character, hes a brutal reflection of someone stripped of everything but basic desires.

The series has not "damaged" shounen, it has evolutionized it. It challenged tired tropes and proved that audiences are ready for stories that are emotionally complex, even when they r not intellectually convoluted.

You dont have to like it. But reducing its success to just "visual appeal for a brainless audience" says more about your preconceptions than it does about the work itself. Your dislike is valid, but dismissing its artistic merit isn't.

Considering this is currently the second highest rated anime on this site, I’d say you are the outlier.

Not everybody has to like everything, but considering your review, it sounds like you weren’t gonna like this anyway and went just to complain about something

Kinda of wild he said all that......

@Denjima a thoughtful response from a fanboy I did not expect that

I don’t think the anime will ultimately stay in the top 2 or really top 10 (I got a whole separate thing about how unbalanced rankings are where one arc in the middle of the series with a movie level budget is rated higher than a complete series like FMAB), but it does show that most of the people who have watched the movie really like the movie.

But you were already not going to like the show, but you seemed to have watched it just to complain and be different from something that’s popular. Popularity doesn’t mean it’s the most bulletproof bit of artwork that’s ever existed, but it does mean that, yes, a lot of people liked it and maybe people can have different tastes than you.

His original post was asking if people go along with it and MAL rating show they/we do
