Jigokuraku lacked both time and talent due to mappa handling the majority of the “big” anime like jjk,csm,aot,vinland saga and they even had movies in production and a few other lower priority anime that will air at some point in the future So the first half of the series (which is imo the least interesting) ended up not having the standard quality we are used to in mappa anime I think the second part will be a lot better since the major production will have been concluded thus allowing for both more time and more talented/experienced staff to come and provide assistance

Apart from the opening - which is abstolutely and stunningly gorgeous - Hell's Paradise defonetly got the leftovers from CSM snd JJK. However, in terms of adapting the feeling and story it definetly scored a bullseye. Voice acting, soundtrack, breathtaking backgrounds and added content (Tenza's backstory) are all incredible. It's biggest sin is the animation (which is basically just proper) and somewhat weird pacing - many transitions between scenes were rushed as if they were scared to leave a shot static for 2 seconds to let people breathe and digest what has happend. My guess is that MAPPA pushed it to less experienced staff and cut some of the budget, because the manga has already finished and there is no more need for the adaptation to build up the hype and advertise its source material in order to increase the sales. Honestly a bummer that my favourite of the DarkTrio got the short end of the stick but it always could've gotten the Nanatsu no Taizai or OPM season 2 treatment, so at least we can be thankfull Jigokuraku escaped such HELLISH (ba dum tss) fate.

You can't even tell it was done by the same studio.

THIS MAN CAN'T STOP TAKING THESE HUGE W'S

I never got the hate for the movie style of the anime. Like, not only is some of the manga shit just hard to do, it also works as a reference to fujimotos love for movies. It is definitly a different experience, but that is why I like it. As long as the adaptation is good, I don't care if it changes some smaller things. Also the added scenes felt so natural and in my mind could have been in the manga if I had not read that yet.

I always thought CSM was bound to be a “”disappointment”” ever since I learned it would have only 12 episodes. Whenever I think of the first part of this series,I kid you not I don’t even think about the content the anime adapted,always what comes directly AFTER. What got me hooked in the series was the Reze arc and from there on it just got better. So people hyping up the series with those contents in mind was bound to make anime only feel like it was overhyped,even tho it was an amazing adaptation

Dude, the timing of this is wild. I literally finished watching it today, and immediately went "What were all the complaints about? It's great." - I was very satisfied with how everything turned out, I love the cinematic style they went with. (Quentin Tarantino vibe) The music is great, the VA's are great, the animation is great, The CG was good, I can't wait to see how they'll approach Reze and the rest of Chainsaw man! Plus the amazing (movie reference filled) animation for the OP and all the different endings, so many of my favorites popped up for an ED song. All in all, very happy and hope they keep this style for the next sesaon.

I just completed the series and why is everyone talking about REZE???? I DONT GET ITTT!!!! If its about the last scene, I dont really get it!

I just finished rewatching CSM with my brother, he actually liked every character aside from Makima because she was suspicious 🤣

Having also watched CSM only like last week for the first time and becoming obsessed. Perhaps because I don't really dip my toes in the anime discourse so I didn't know all that much about it, but I found it amazing, the tone, the music, vibrancy of colours, the epic shots, the nuances, absolutely beautiful. So I read the manga, up to date, in 3 days, and mind you I'm a slow reader. Honestly I found the anime adaptation more approachable than the adapted parts in the manga. But as many have said, what comes next is the real meat and potatoes and if the quality of season 2 and beyond is the same or dare I say even better than 1 then ho boy will this become probably one of my all time favourites.

Glad to hear you finally watched chainsaw man and enjoyed it bro, since the stuff in the anime really expended Aki and everyone else and showed a lot of their personality.😺

Hell’s Paradise was dope. I didn’t read the manga, so my opinion is as an anime only watcher with the series, but, I loved it. I think if you like the chainsaw man adaptation, you’ll like Hell’s Paradise.

This was such a great season I read the manga after the anime and I feel the anime matched the vibe and that it felt like an experience. The music and the direction are big stand outs and I feel so bad for the director

Great video, we share a lot of the same opinions and it's kinda refreshing seeing a discussion of the adaptation that isn't just dismissive and nitpicky. CSM is in my top 3 manga, and, honestly, to me the adapted portion was better than the manga, even tho the manga was better at most of the comedy bits (to me). I have a lot of faith in how what comes next will be portrayed, I just wish some of the feedback is taken into account and we get less muted colors overall and don't get too hung up on the cinematic feel at the expense of the comedy.

i LOVE how much they invested in all the animation, including the day to day stuff. just watching power walking down a hallway or aki pouring himself a cup of coffee looks amazing! this is what anime should be like! i wish all anime (and animated stuff in general) had this level of animation in *everything*

Yo dude!!! Just wanna say because of you, I’ve been reading much much more manga. Been reading more Seinen lately & I’ve been enjoying it so much since it’s been a huge change in genre. Thanks dude!

I love the director’s work, changing Fujimoto’s more wacky, balls to the walls style and adapting it into something that feels more realistic and down to Earth. Now i’m just wondering how they’ll do that with some of the upcoming arcs (if a season 2 will be announced) in the manga and if it will even be the same director after all the backlash. I also wonder (once again if they make more Csm) if they’ll do something like adapt volumes 9-11 into a movie to end the anime of part 1

I can't wait to see how they handle Darkness. The Santa Claus fight will be crazy too.

As a manga reader I can say we are in for the most insane and wild emotional rollercoaster for season 2

Great analysis.

From what I read of CSM, the Director made the best call of making the Anime a cinematic style, to emphasize the love of films from Fujimoto.

Excited to see your impressions of Pluto anime

Thank you! Appreciate that someone stood up for the director. He did a wonderful job and doesn't deserve all the hatred that's been thrown his way. Love the manga and anime, really hope that mappa decides to move forward with season 2.

People complaining that the Western movie style "doesn't feel like Fujimoto" really don't know jack shit about Fujimoto lol. _Especially_ if you've read Fire Punch, where film buff bullshit is a major motif in the story. The guy's as much of a Hollywood Westaboo as Hideo Kojima, maybe even _moreso._

I also feel like this is how Fujimoto envisioned his series. He is a massive movie lover so i'm sure he loved the cinematic ass shots that the anime added in. CSM actually felt like a movie.

Id love to see some videos abot part2 its getting REALLY good

Before the anime happened, I thought the biggest problem was going to be the amount of simping for Makima lol The real problem is that CSM's greatest strength is how unpredictable it is, so if you already read the manga and know the story then that's already lost lmao That said, I think it was a wonderful adaptation and pretty much agree with everything in this video. And I hope that they keep this style since it would be perfect for what's going to be adapted next

Uff, that thumbnail brooooo woof, wooof WOOF!

Shout out to Ryu Nakayama for sticking to his guns, giving us a cinematic anime adaptation in line with some of Fujimoto's biggest influences, and not pandering to a vocal minority who think that all Chainsaw Man is is "quirky".

The soundtrack is really goated man

I loved the manga, and I loved the anime. I think it was beautifully animated and for the first time ever I looked forward to the episodes ending so that I could watch all the different end credits. One of my favorite anime openings too.

You disappoint me mask

It's an adaptation not a copy idk why people always confuse that I found the director did a great job adapting it do I think it should been a bit more gritty rather then as polished as it is yes. Although that's all within the choices of the director. Maybe he wanted this to start off more polished for it to slowly get more gritty as the seasons go on. I think that would be cool to see that kinda change the styling evolves with Denji

I love your videos ❤🌹

As a manga reader (who loved it from panel 1 & really likes p2 so don't strawman me) this is fine on its own. But as an adaptation is exceedingly poor at wut it's supposed to be adaptin & that's BY DESIGN, not an opinion. Fujimoto directly asked for it to be diff before it came out, the director said he wanted to & will attempt to make it diff before it came out, the manga readers who heavily anticipated this whether it be in japan or the West say it's diff. There's CLEARLY somethin goin on there. Jus shruggin off the complaints without tryin to understand wut ppl R sayin I feel is incredibly dismissive, short cited, & plain dumb & I say this as a regular viewer who likes ur content. There's vids by ppl like totallynotmark or the homie damian that go into how that's the case along wit prob plenty of comments in other vids that go in further depth too the issues manga readers have. The added scenes don't add much & hurt the later pacin of the anime where things feel disjointed tryin to hit a certain point. It's clear wit scenes like the train attack on Makima & how she retaliates specifically that they're tryin to give a diff air to her (look at the scene when she gets up in the train & compare it to the panel it's clearly diff on purpose). This show doesn't really do the "cinematic" thing that diff or "exceptionally" in comparison to OTHER ANIME (especially MOVIES) so changin the essence of wut it's supposed to be adaptin feels like a waste cus ppl who watch the anime (especially in the west) aren't gonna go for the og thing. There R parts of the anime that have that essence but they're few & far between & NONE of them R handled by Ryu Nakayama the main director. The action director & many eps or scene directors that helped put this together imo did a MUCH "better" job at balancin that simple/casual, yet chaotic/frenetic feelin the manga had wit the diff vibe Nakayama went for & I'd prefer goin forward 1 of them replaced him or his role was lessened in some way at least. The manga was grungy yet colorful while the anime is jus the usual clean dullness wit grays & immense desaturation. The jokes completely fall flat & jus feel awkward in this diff execution. The endings R "great" & many of them show wut CSM should've been here. I thought the VAs were fine(even great) but I get y some ppl weren't fond of Makima tho in her case I wasn't surprised by wut they went for. Ppl focus WAY TOO MUCH on the whole "he said he likes movies thing" but that has NOTHIN to do wit part 1 of CSM cus while there R minor REFERENCES the experience is NOT a look back or sayonara eri. FLCL is stated as an inspiration for the ACTUAL vibe & direction of the series as well as other things. It'd honestly make more sense for early Shaft(kizumonogatari) or Trigger(even tho they don't tend to do adaptations) to work on this rather than jus mappa(I don't hate that it was mappa but I'm tryin to highlight that the style they went for here doesn't work as well they hoped imo & funnily enough Nakayama worked on KILL LA KILL BY TRIGGER OF ALL THINGS LOL). There's a scene in the Denji vs Katana Devil fight where they're on the train & fall through the roof. The train stops & everyone gets out except for 1 woman. In the manga Denji notices her & defends her before the katana devil uses a charged up attack & loses his arms for it which leads into him usin his leg later. In the anime the woman is STILL there, HOWEVER Denji doesn't MOVE AT ALL jus sittin there like an idiot sayin "whoa hey!" before the attack & loses his arms. The woman is STILL fine & gets out anyways like WTF!? Also the storyboardin for the leg attack is awkward before & after the entire sequence. Idk wut they were thinkin they should've kept it the same or removed the woman entirely cus now they jus hurt an interestin thing bout Denjis' character that stayed consistent in the manga all the way up till that point & beyond, made the scene make less sense overall, AND they gave themselves more work for NO REASON. It's jus bafflin as a manga reader & even as an anime only cus then y is the woman there? There's other stuff but in the end the anime was jus a disappointment & I hope things change in the future but I doubt it so if u enjoyed props to u. It tried to "branch out" but fell into a diff line that's jus as typical as wut it was tryin to get out of. Nobody needs it to be shot for shot the same cus even when He DID do that it wasn't the same. Ppl wanted him to try somethin jus as out there wacky & fun as the manga in a way that works & is unique to ANIME. If he wanted to make somethin diff make it diff but don't say it's CSM & in some respects even anime. I could say the One Piece Live Action did SO much "better" at BEIN ONE PIECE than this is at bein CSM. It feels more like the western Live Action of Death Note(which I know sounds extreme) is at adaptin the source. Fine on it's own admittedly but u're lyin to ur audience new & old that it's the same thing in a different medium.

To be far, the anime OG scenes are some of the best. My only gripe with the anime was, that it didn't really adapt the vibe of the manga. They went for a very clean and cinetamic experience. This makes the anime good in its own right, but not as an adaptation. For those who never read the manga, it is probably a 10/10 anime, and lets be honest, it is kinda is. I just wish i could see the grit and insanity the manga had , but animated.

THANK YOU!! The Chainsaw man anime single-handedly made me want to go into film and animation, that’s how much I love the direction. I definitely valued the more melancholy aspects of csm so that might be why but I was so confused about people hating on it, like what!?

This is one of my favorite anime series to date

honestly...loved the first season on release and the more time passes, the higher i actually evaluate it. its weird

I thought the anime was incredible. Never had a complaint. The voice acting was spectacular, and the art and animation were picturesque.

What coincidence, me too just a few days ago….. I’m hooked 😂

this adaptation does horror and the emotional scenes so far better than the manga but fucks up the comedy and more abstract parts(like the curse devil scene) a litle bit. so overall a great adaptation but i am a bit woried about the future of it specificaly how they are gona handle the darkness devil and the iconic comedy moments(kobenis car ect.)

the people saying that the western movie vibe not feeling like fujimoto is stupid. fujimoto grew up loving western film and incorporated it into his work

I also waited a little bit to watch the anime adaptation while avoiding most of the discourse and it was so worth it. I just finished episode 12 today and honestly the anime just multiplied the love I already had for CSM from reading the manga.

Our forefathers had to fight dinosaurs only for us to give death threats when our favorite manga is only 98% perfectly adapted into anime

Hells Paradise was done perfectly. Literally the only difference was the lack of CGI that Mappa is known for. People who complained about Hells Paradise are the same ones that thought AOT had bad animation

Bro, thank the heavens. I was going crazy hearing people say these brain empty takes like: “pacing was bad”, “didn’t feel like fujimoto”. Masked coming in the with the refined takes as always.

Community post with your ranking of the endings (find the full version too of the 1st 8th 10th and 12th)

Love your shit dawg

One of the best examples of people rushing their opinions of CSM, is with the kobeni in the anime. Many manga readers love Konbeni especially due to the scene of her scaring katana and snake. So, of course, we hype her up when we see her at the end of the leech fight and during the Eternal Hotel, but I saw a lot of anime-onlys seeing Kobeni panicking in the hotel saying "This girl annoying, whats there to hype" (in before 1000 twitter stans spoil it for them). Then everyone sees her pick up a knife and go *devils are scary, humans are nothing*, I saw everyone change their opinion of her and go "Kobeni my beloved".

I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with a anime review more. Incredibly well said on so many fronts, love your nuanced take on things, and your ability to actually keep things in perspective. Glad you ultimately really enjoyed what they wanted to do with the adaptation, as did I.

I have been watch Anime since the early 90s. CSM is by far on my shortlist for the best Anime I have seen, from the pacing, art style, music, action and character development.

Just as the chainsaw man church guy said in part 2. We want to see Chainsaw Man fight get bloody and get back up. Its like He put the fans who miss the point of this entire series in the manga and made them the crazy people.

Yeah I don't understand any of the hate this series got. I've read chainsawman through and even all the new chapters of part 2 and I believe Mappa and the director nailed the style of this story. Loved the first episode when it came out and I can't wait for season 2. Also if you haven't, definitely read the latest chapters.

If there's a season 2, it has to be PERFECT, like season 1 was. And that includes the complete experience (perfect adaptation, animation, teasing, 12 different endings with BANGERS, and so...) Wish this show was better received. I don't get how it has any haters. And YES, I've read the manga. I'm up to date.

(spoilers ig) glad to hear they gave more depth to himeno in the anime because when she died in the manga I really REALLY did not care about her death, as the series went on her death was more felt in relation to aki who you get to know better and feel more about than her as a chatacter, so glad the anime is giving the time to flesh out the characters more, might check it out for myself

I swear down certain CSM fans are smooth brained, the anime was amazing, nice review

yeah...they did Hells Paradise a lil dirty. Also my fav out of the dark trio ngl

As someone that hasn't read the manga and had the anime experience, I really enjoyed it. Guess it helps not having very certain expectations going in. Why I tend to hold off on picking up manga cause I prefer the anime medium and rather be surprised with stories. Made that mistake with Attack On Titan after its hiatus after season 1.

Please do another video about part 2!

Everyone gonna be having they heart strings pulled next season😭

I went in expecting nothing, and really loved it

Here we go bois

To be fair im not a manga reader but i dont know how people hated it especially if they were manga reader and i feel like the cinematic aprouch was perfect this really grounded and serious world that makes the wacky and crazy moments stand out and both Japanese and English voice acting is great and just fit the charchters so well cant wait for season 2

I would recommend waching the blu-ray version of Jigokuraku They fixed most of the broken animation

Bro i have a question for you Two years ago you made a video about johan with the title : The greatest antagonist ever in animanga. But i have heard from a lot of people that morgana from the house of fata morgana i am sure you have read that and beatrice from umineko easily gap him in terms of being a better antagonist and a character. What's your opinion about that?

It was primarily the Japanese audience that was unhappy with the anime, though there were some western fans too. Some of the statements the director made and the overall way he apparently carried himself certainly didn't help the whole thing. Honestly, the entire thing was just a massive shitshow. On one side, you've got all the harrassment and death threats and all that nonsense, with one Japanese guy even making a program that would spam the director with "1375" (or whatever the DVD sales number was) any time he posted. On the other side, you had a lot of straight up racism and xenophobia tossed towards Japanese fans for not liking the adaptation. You also had people throwing out the pedo label towards anyone who didn't like it. Personally, while I had my own problems with it and can see where people are coming from with their critics, I overall enjoyed it.

100% this. I loved the CSM anime, in large part because it felt like the people making it gave a shit. Sure, it changed some stuff, took creative liberties, and I'm glad it did. Anime and manga and fundamentally different mediums, so I think it'd just be poor direction *not* to. Besides, if I want the experience of the manga, I'll read the manga - that already exists lol. I think it's cool that we got something different Also, really glad you brought up how silly it is that some people judge the worth of an anime by it's financial and popular success. Imo it's such a ridiculous way to view any piece of art. By that metric the vast majority of all art has no value since it's never made any money - which is clearly an absurd notion, but so much of the commentary around CSM (and other anime) focuses on it. Some of that's no doubt just people being reactionary and contrarian, but it's no less frustrating for it Anyway, good vid! Based take. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on part 2 once you catch up!

Chainsaw man was the first manga I ever read so it has a very special place for me. Personally I really loved the anime and I’m super excited for season 2

First of all i didnt read chainsawman jet, but i think the anime was great, not your usual action stuff but more like a slow story, realy enjoyed that. Hope there is no drastic change in pacing

I watched the chainsaw man anime in one day and the only thing I had complaints about was just that it was only 12 episodes other than that it was perfect

It is fucking awesome ❤ Cant wait for movie

I gotta say I’m worried for season 2 just because within MAPPA, the same production pipeline that handles JJK also handles CSM and the schedule for JJK season 2 is at an all time low at the moment, so I don’t think they should get right to work on CSM season 2 right after JJK season 2. On top of that, CSM costed MAPPA a lot as unlike JJK, the funding came completely from them, so it not being as big as JJK has me worried on if/how they want to continue to pursue adapting it. Also worried about the director as I think he did a masterful job but he ended up getting a lot of flack for certain things, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t return. And lastly some people might not care about this but the 12 endings they made were the best part of the adaptation for me with all sorts of interesting visual styles and sounds on top of the amazing OP from the biggest artist in Japan (Kenshi Yonezu) and one of the best OP directors out there (Shingo Yamashita). I wouldn’t be surprised if they cut that entire approach to just one OP and one ED and some people straight up just skip them so they’ll just miss that anyways. I’m still hoping for the best for season 2 but regardless of what happens, I’m just glad we got what we got for season 1

i think considering that CSM was a "commercial success" (at least as the video says) they're sure to get external funding for it now

@@illuminoeye_gaming I hope so. I just hope said company that gets involved is willing to stick to the vision that S1 had. Otherwise there could be more censoring due to what timeslot the company would want it to be on or something. The censoring of the throw up scene wasn’t too bad tho imo

Cm is just absolutely sublime. True beauty

Finally, someone is not shting on this anime for once Sadly, the director is not working on season 2, which means (possibly) no more cinematic CSM moments.

I haven't read HP so I don't know if yall got shafted there, but the negative reactions that I have been seeing towards JJK S2 and what I saw while CSM was airing just reminded me that a lot of people who watch anime don't actually give a shit about the art itself. They want to consume and be a part of the consumption of something. Like this shit is genuinely beautiful and, as you brought up, some people will send death threats cause they didn't hang on a single image like a reader might have stared at a panel.

GG. amazing adaptation

will u check out the bleach tybw? it's honestly an overall better version of the tybw, a lot of the comedic scenes from the manga are cut while they add a lot of new content that makes it even better

To answer your concerns about hells paradise, I haven't read the manga, but i have watched the anime and can say with certainty that the animation is really good. People say the animation is bad because they compare it to stuff like jjk, csm, aot, demon slayer... Y'know top tier animation especially the other mappa projects cause its mappa. Hell, i even remember penguinz0 making a video talking about how lucky we are for studios to give us such high quality animations on animes mentioning stuff like jjk, demon slayer and all that and he dedicated a portion of that video to hells paradise mentioning that people on twitter are mad over the animation being "bad". You dont gotta worry about hells paradise getting that berserk 2016 treatment, you can watch it without worries

Hell's paradise animation is not bad in any way but a lot of parts look inconsistant

If comedy elements were hit or a miss for you, I recommend checking out the dub. Due to the absurd amounts of hate that the anime got, the crazy good dub voice acting got swept under the rug. It does very good localisation and does not hesitate from using cuss words which makes it very interesting.. and power's VA is just fantastic

Dude aki's voice does not fit the character at all in the dub.

Wanna see the reaction of those fans who complained of Makima's voice in the anime(really good IMHO) when they find out that the voice of Makima in the stage play is Aya Hirano

I watched the first episode which was good at first, but then afterward I told my brother about it and when I said everything I saw out loud it sounded so freaking dumb. Let me guess it gets good in the 50th episode. I still don't get why this is popular.

I think the Chainsaw Man anime was amazing. I think the CG was incorporated properly and the "worst" CG was in episode 1 which still looked good enough. I liked that the anime had different endings for each of the episodes. This is something unique I haven't seen in any anime before. I think the only real complaint from manga readers could be the comedy but even that is handled well enough.

Honestly the endings are what the actual anime episodes should have been like.

I don't care what anyone has to say it is a 10/10. The amount of quality is top tier

if you like these kinds of mangas where you feel like you can't compare it to anything you've read before you should check out after god by sumi eno!!! its SO good and no one is talking about it >:(

Completely agree with everything said in this video
