![]() ![]() That protagonist is Denji ( Kikunosuke Toya, who has more experience as a singer than as a seiyuu). What I found most appealing in the premiere was the stark contrast between the nature of the protagonist and what was happening around him, which I’ll delve into a bit as we go. And that comes through to an extent in the premiere, especially in some of the scene composition (which I’m assuming director Nakamura Ryuu recreated faithfully). Fujimoto also loves Gainax – Eva is in that OP, and he’s referred to CSM as an “evil FLCL“. But again – you have to at least try to watch every premiere of a series that’s new to you as if you’d never heard of it.įujimoto’s obsessive fascination with cinema – mostly American – is evident in Yamashita Shingo’s banger of an OP, which is literally wire-to-wire pop culture references. And I know some of the reasons people cite for loving this series (to be sure, not everyone does). I know the background on Fujimoto-sensei, one of the true generational phenomena of the manga industry at just 28 years old. The trick is to try and divorce yourself from those expectations and judge the material on its own merits. My experience with megahyped series is pretty straightforward – sometimes they live up to it, sometimes they don’t. II could just start out by saying “I liked it” but, my preferences aside, you can’t really talk about a show that’s this much of a cultural event without talking about the event. Welcome to LiA, Samu! You’ll find his take at the end of the post. ![]() To that end I’ve asked friend of the site Samu, former ace blogger at RandomC and big CSM fan, to share his thoughts on a weekly basis (warning they may contain spoilers). And since I’m completely unspoiled by Fujimoto’s manga here (I’ve read Look Back and Sayonara Eri but that’s it), I thought I’d get a manga reader’s perspective to pair with my own observations (note: neither of us had read the other’s impressions before composing our own). Given just how much of an event CSM’s arrival is, I thought it would be a fun occasion to try something different with it. Folks who love this series really love it, and there are a lot of them. ![]() But while SxF currently leads in raw numbers and I suspect will always do so, its appeal is more broad than Chainsaw Man but less deep. And then there’s Spy x Family of course, which amounts to CSM’s greatest rival for commercial supremacy at this moment in time (and it’s written by Fujimoto Tatsuki’s former assistant, too). Shingeki no Kyoujin, maybe – certainly not Kimetsu or JJK, which only went supernova after their anime bowed. It does not store any personal data.I’ve seen a lot of premieres come and go since I started this website, but not many new series have arrived as stupidly hyped as Chainsaw Man.
