Here it is www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/08/03-1/chainsaw-man-manga-shreds-through-3-million-copies-in-circulation Fujimoto has officially stated that Chainsaw Man is a "wicked FLCL" and this video is my analysis of the similarities between them and in what ways the influence of FLCL might appear in CSM. Hopefully I can stop getting comments about "reaching" and calling me an idiot now lmao. Also for people asking about the music, i made it! spotify link in description :)

Well the conclusion of this video is pretty much interesting. Because the creation of Spider-Man came from a Fly on the Wall. And The Punisher from Charles Bronson films, which people feel the actor is gruffly absurd. So it's possible about the best things always happen with ideas out of the simplest unknown lifestyle. As far as exaggerating their own common sense into a cautionary tale. I take further notes like a old-Critique✏️📖🥱. Thank you!

FLCL's message is actually the same as Chansaw man's but in plaintext; JUST GO FOR IT. but it in your own way no matter what washup tells you or enforces how the world is. CsM is more obvious and straight to the point about what you get following that route --the most kick ass life ever. FLCL is purposely complicated because we're literally seeing his story from a 12 year's perspective of breaking out of this delusion of "how an adult should be" and that he's any more mature than the people he looks down on. Abara/CsM still follows Nihei's very common theme of transhumanism; highlights the frailty of humanity and the necessity transcend it at a steep price

It's quite comforting to know that FLCL will never be mainstream, yet it's influence is positive and powerful enough to reshape the mainstream in the best ways.

It's definitely interesting how both series are essentially coming-of-age tales somewhat disguised by the overall insanity surrounding the main characters. Both also have much darker undertones in a lot of areas, but CSM is WAY more evident with them than FLCL is. Even the fact that FLCL's production (in the sense of doing what they wanted while making it) feels like it matches Fujimoto's looser style of drawing and wild ideas. Either way, the influences are apparent, and the two series slap 👌

I'm always surprised when people get the impression that CSM is "wild", reading Fujimoto's previous works will immediately make you realize that he held back a lot with Chainsaw Man in order to make his own ideas more coherent and therefore appeal to a wider audience than say, Fire Punch's "bestiality one second, Star Wars the next" crazy shenanigans could. It's one of the aspects I miss from his early works honestly, sure, the writing was very loose for those, and from a purely technical perspective there was way more care put into CSM's plot and its execution, but it just lacks a bit of passion compared to the absurd-yet-moving message of Sasaki-kun Stopped The Bullet or the deliberately unsatisfying ending from Imouto no Ane, or the borderline memetic fixation Fire Punch had with movies, or Nayuta from the Prophecy's over the place pacing that increased its dadaistic sense, or- You get the point, I understand that CSM is crazy compared to most media out there, but for Fujimoto himself, it feels like a step back.

Chainsaw Man already has an established vibe, for better or for worse, but I read Goodbye Eri in hopes that Fujimoto would at least go back to his old ways in a less commercial one-shot. Suffice to say I was disappointed. Maybe someday we'll get a story that combines the sheer passion of Fujimoto's early works together with the better-structured writing of his recent works, that would be a masterpiece.

That’s where I first saw it too. Adult Swim introduced me to a lot of great anime.

Ok but like, everyone should watch FLCL. Of course you don’t have to understand it ALL the time, trying to do so will hurt your brain. But watching it for the vibe tho, it’s like the melancholic feeling of reminiscing on old times was turned into an anime. The music and visuals still hit me in a way no anime has before, and the songs, they hold such a special place in my heart, I can only ever listen to them when I’m in the perfect mood.

I remember being introduced to FLCL by my friend during a lunch break in High School. He described it as an incredibly weird coming of age story. I didn’t rediscover it until I found an AMV of Green Day’s Holiday over a summer. I then proceeded to binge it. Shit was dope and I regret nothing.

the basic idea is that you shouldn't let yourself be manipulated by people you like,they can manipulate you directly like Haruko or indirectly like Mamimi

I wholeheartedly believe FLCL isnt that hard to understand, neither is it conveluded. The show just moves at such a fast pace that its hard for the audience to keep up and understand upon first viewing, after a rewatch however its a lot more simple to understand Mamimi's arc is about finding direction after her (assumed boyfriend) leaves to go to america as she latches onto multiple strong figures (which she calls Takkun) to make up for her lack of self confidence. Initially its naota but that changes from person to person as the show progresses, the arc ending when she comes to terms with everything and discovering photography, leaving to follow that dream. Naota's arc is about puberty, growing up and becoming an adult, the constant visual metaphors of erections, sexual poses and the sour drink at the start and end only serving to boost this message. It begins with him feeling in the shadow of his brother and Mamimi clinging onto him because of this. Naota percieves this relationship as reciprical between him and Mamimi (even as Haruko comes into the scene) and navigating both the relationship between him and Mamimi and him and Haruko. Throughout the show, Naota realises that Mamimi was only interested in him because she percieved him as his brother, which he eventually comes to terms him and confronts Mamimi. Naota also realises that Haruko was only interested in him because she wanted to summon atemisk, of which he eventually confronts Haruko. As he comes to terms with both and navigates relationships and sitations you watch his development and character and him grow up and changer perspectives. Haruko's arc is simply her trying to trigger strong emotional actions from Naota to summon Atemisk, each robot fight that occurs being a peice in the puzzle to finally summon atemisk. These emotions range from jealousy to much more (cant quite remember as I type this lol) but each one resulting in a robot being summoned. Throughout the show you see Haruko mention that she tries using other people as portals to summon the robots but none work, except for Naota. It shows her past with Amaroa and her using him as a portal in the past (her discussions with him throughout the show and it being clear she has had some kind of relationship with him in the past), Naotas Dad and likely others that I cant remember off the top of my head. When she inevitably summons Atemisk you see her get frustrated as she cant capture and use the power of atemisk for herself, resulting in her attacking naota (controlling the power of atemisk). Naota wins the fight and atemisk leaves with Haruko. Within the finale, her clear motivations of manipulation become aparent as she is completly suprised when Naota confesses her love for her, Haruko then leaving when Naota has no purpose and cannot be used as a portal. These are the main three arcs but there is also amaroas arc which touches upon masculinty and his jealousy of Naota as they essentially compete for Haruko. Ninamoris arc of her navigating her parents divorce and her coming to terms with this, literally ending the arc as she does the high jump creating an arc shape as everyone cheers and claps when she talks about how she resolves the issues lol. FLCL is definately deep and takes a unique approach to story telling with its radical pacing but I dont think its necesarily conveluded just very fast and precise with what it has to say in terms of storytelling. FLCL manages to tell a more complex story with multiple characters in 6 episodes, than most series can do in 24 episodes or 50 episodes because it knows exactly what to show the audience, giving just enough dialogue and backstory to tell you what happened quickly, which i think is what becomes alienating and overwhelming initially. FLCL actually has an interesting history and a lot of people overlook into the deeper meanings of some things (which flcl makes fun of itself and simultaneously mocks evangelion fans). A lot of the crazy things that happen in the show being there purely because the director likes them with no other reason than that. The director liked guitars so he used guitars, he liked the pillows so he used the pillows, he liked south park so he did a south park homage lol. The show itself was used from excess money from evangelion of which the director was told he could do whatever he wanted. To add to this lack of monetary motive the director wanted to tell a complete story and not leave any reason for sequels or prequels. He disagreed to direct the sequels alternative and progressive, refusing to come back and vocally disagreeing to the concept of there being more as believed he told the complete story in the original with no incentive to make more. The only reason progressive and alternative being made because the copyright to FLCL ran out so they were able to purchase the rights to the show, likely being why they felt so soulless in comparisson to the original. Hopefully this can help give a bit more context to the show! Just a flcl megafan here lol.

The brother never goes to the army, he goes to play baseball in america. The characters acknowledge and say this specifically and you also see a photo of Naotas brother with his face blurred out. The robot may serve as a brotherly figure but it's not Naotas brother, in fact the robot is actually part of what they need to summon atemisk.

Some art is purely made for simple reasons but that doesent make it less art if it still has the personality and charm of the artists attached to it.

FLCL was my first anime and my favorite anime ever. No wonder csm was so great.

Ever since i started reading chainsawman i found it oddly similar to the original Vertigo comic series, Hellblazer. The characters (John Constantine and Denji) have basicly the same story progression and the atmosphere in both comic/manga is chaotic and teaching u to not get attached to any character exept for the main one. Whoever enjoys the style of chainsawman will love the original Hellblazer and i recomend it a lot.

I saw this on adultswim about 15 years ago and had never felt so awed and confused.

quickly saw connections between FLCL and chainsaw man, but when power came in to the anime I had to see if there were some creators that worked on both. FLCL was and always will be a favorite of mine so csm has been enjoyable.

People always go into FLCL expecting a structured deep look into the human psyche. Literally just turn off your brain, slam it to a wall and watch it while you're horny or depressed (or both) and you'll love it

@@mani3001 It's totally a vibe thing, essentially a music video with some sick fight scene animation, some slapstick comedy, and interesting characters (imo). The story is only really there to be understood on multiple viewings since it's so chaotic, and as an animator it's enjoyable just to see how much fun the animators had on FLCL.

Fujimotos most recen one shot wasn’t trying to tell us to it analyze his work at all, he was telling us to analyze it correctly and see it for what it is. A lot of people had been coming up with a bunch of absolutely ridiculous “theories” about his work that simply wasn’t based in any sort of reality and it was getting on his nerves. His work def has themes and messages to be explored though, he isn’t just putting shit on the page because he thinks it’s cool.

what is the music in the beginning?

Love flcl man and love csm

FLCL is The Ramones of anime and CSM is Nirvana

I knew it! I effin knew it! Even zero two looks and acts like Haruko

CSM always reminded me of Devilman Crybaby a bit.

I didn't know abt this, but I did know that Power's inspiration came from Eric Cartman, which is even more hilarious

now they're running it into the ground lads

FLCL Goated

We don't talk about FLCL season 2 though.
