I was just wondering if you've read csm manga? I would love to hear if you have any analysis for it
HOLA! Ok so... I have to admit that... 🫣 I am not a fan of Chainsaw Man because Fujimoto's writing style is something I have a bit of a hard time with. Which is just another way of saying that I didn't vibe with the manga's mood.
This is a bit of an irony because I did read the manga in one night and I actually really liked the anime, especially towards the end.
Actually Kick Back, the opening, is probably in line to become one of my most listened to songs in 2023 the song is such a banger dammit.
All that to say that you probably won't see a whole lot of csm in my blog other than what's under the cut.
I think I've shared my favorite panel before. Basically it's the scene with Denji holding Power after rescuing her from inside the Bat Devil's guts. I loved the gore in contrast to the scene of Denji holding Power holding Nyanko (or whatever the cat's name was).
Tumblr media
I'd say the manga did it better but I couldn't find the panel quickly. But anyways, I LOVE this panel. It's a lot of fun.
I've also compared the animation style to Satoshi Kon anime. I have to wonder about the anime's director because of the way he chose to adapt the anime. And for some reason I get massive "inspired by Satoshi Kon" vibes.
I've also praised the adaptation of that scene of Aki crying. I think MAPPA was defo flexing on their animation skills with Aki. I need them to please be kind like that to Megumi.
Oh yes, speaking of Megumi, I've also addressed Aki's eyelashes not being as long as Megumi's.
I think somewhere in one of my jjk liveblogs I've talked about Denji being a relatable Shonen mc in that his aspirations are not grandiose but grounded in his persona as a relatable teenage boy who has the whole idea around human intimacy all twisted.
I haven't made a post about it, but in private conversation with moots I've also compared Tokyo Babylon's Sakurazuka Seishiro to Makima. They're both predators albeit for different purposes and reasons and Seishiro is definitively way more cringe than Makima.
My brain works in mysterious ways so I am sad to admit that this is about the level of intelligence I have dedicated to csm.
But @justafrenchlondoner and @littleholmes for sure like CSM and have kept up with it and like to write down their thoughts on it. I've seen write ups on everything from panels about counting farts to the possible places where Denji's journey will go.
Hope this helps and thanks for reaching out!!
