So I just saw the chainsaw movie… bittersweet dude. Spoilers that aren’t really spoilers: Like really really good, the change in animation style was handled very smoothly, and some parts of the art direction was directly pulled from the manga. The action rivaled episode 17 of the shibuya incident, in both flavor and length (that’s what she said), and given what the movie’s plot is, I think the pacing was handled perfectly, with one tiny nitpick of mine at the end. The first season was a master class of making a crazy dark story feel grounded, and I’ll die on the hill defending it’s brilliance in both direction and pacing, but I think the movie did a very good job of acknowledging the previous art style by pacing itself with its new approach. That isn’t to say they take it slow, but it isn’t heavy handed if that makes sense. It knows what viewers have already seen, and chose a new lane that doesn’t feel completely removed from what we already got. As for the story, it’s more of the same, as in you literally can’t predict it. Even me, who’s been spoiled on certain deaths and true motivations, had no idea what that woman would do. Denji got some growth, but goddamn… why it gotta be like this?

For me, the movie was a big disappointment. I knew there would be major changes with the new direction, but I didn’t expect such a huge drop in enjoyment compared to watching Chainsaw Man Season 1. Those silly sound effects during the funny moments feel like laugh tracks in old sitcoms, and they completely ruin the scene for me. I really miss Nakayama's animation style. It captured that gritty, cinematic, and deeply human atmosphere. I read the manga after Season 1, and I could clearly picture how he would have handled future moments, which made me even more excited. The new style feels so flat and generic that many moments I was really looking forward to ended up just being fine. I also miss the calm, atmospheric scenes. The stretch from minute 5 to 12 was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had with Chainsaw Man, and I expected so much more from that event. I enjoyed most of it after the 12-minute mark, but it still felt like any other anime, nothing special anymore, except for a few standout scenes and the finale. But honestly, even a high schooler couldn’t have messed up that final scene. It was already great in the manga.

Any time I put a lot of love and appreciation towards a story, I acknowledge what it takes for it to be made. I’m not going to get upset about one punch man being bad, I just won’t watch it unless it gets really good again. With CSM, it’s always been about the story for me. The atmosphere and aesthetic from S1 definitely helped establish my understanding of the tone and consequences, but I understood how rare that was and accepted the moment I finished the 12 episode that I probably won’t get that again. When the change in directors was announced, I changed my mindset, knowing it’s still the same story and it’s still mappa. When the movie was announced, I changed my mindset again, acknowledging the continuing trend that popular anime are taking, and having watched those movies that were fully canon, I know intrinsically that anime movies will always be a bit extra, regardless of the context, because they are meant to be enjoyable as a standalone first and foremost. There are rare exceptions, but a big name show produced by a big name company and directed by new hands wasn’t going to be that exception. The change in art style isn’t bad, it’s just more anime, but even if you miss what we had, it’s still REALLY GOOD animation and art. The jokes or silly moments are purely for the sake of being more successful globally, and the second season will have maybe one or two moments of that, but no more than the shibuya incident had. Even if it’s a new director, they still have to have their storyboards greenlit, and mappa has proven they can do serious stories when it matters. Like the moments you’re talking about, both that intro song and the silly noises, were during times the plot was deliberately disarming the viewer. That’s why I said the pacing was so fantastic, because despite the change in art style and everything that comes with that, they still told the story faithfully given the allotted time a movie allows, and that faithfulness comes with caveats that a director has to pick and choose from when adapting a story with a limited amount of scenes and runtime. It’s silly in the beginning so the ending can be serious, and I enjoyed it even though it made me feel like shit.

I agree with most of what you said, but I disagree about the silliness. I laughed so much during Season 1 because the humor felt natural and real, like when Power fought the zombies and Denji left in the elevator. Denji screaming with joy because he could finally grope boobs, only to get his hand cut off by the Leech Devil, was hilarious. The whole Nobel Prize and IQ joke sequence during the Eternity Devil arc was also amazing, all without silly sound effects, exaggerated facial shots, or deformed reaction faces. The movie unnecessarily added those goofy sound effects and added exaggerated facial shots, which made the scenes unfunny for me. It really took me out of the experience every time. The only time it was funny was in the battle later where we get this bouncy sound effect in the building.

absolutely agree i thought it was incredible, i'm so happy chainsaw man finally feels like the manga as someone who absolutely loved the zany vibe of the manga and was disappointed in s1 leaving out the surreal silliness that's intrinsic to fujimoto's style in favour of realism, i loved s1 regardless but it really was nice to feel like i was seeing chainsaw man the way that i read it with the movie, so excited to see what the girls make of it🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Mr. Every

I can’t really say much if your take away is that the movie wasn’t funny enough. Those moments in the first season were well written given the context, but they were easy jokes that would have hit in either art style. If the jokes from the movie had season one’s gravitas, the movie’s entire tone would have shifted. I didn’t want to mention this with the risk of it spoiling someone, but I honestly believe given how the movie ends, and all the discussions on Denji’s current lifestyle compared to his age, the change in tone almost feels respectful to the fact he’s being reminded it’s okay to be a kid, that it’s okay to want that, and everything from season one was desaturated which aligned with his developing mind being thrown in the deep end his entire life. Like I won’t say it’s deliberate, but after watching To Be Hero X, and just having an appreciation for those who can balance art styles, I think the nature of the movies plot supports the change in art style and tonality. Is it on the nose and silly? Yes. But is it cringe or ruin the experience? That’s an angle you chose.

@Robert Dirk H. Art really is a crazy thing to me because I couldn't disagree more. Season 1 was just "fine" to me. I enjoyed watching it, even if the fights felt lackluster and the colors were washed out, but I never find the urge to rewatch. The movie on the other hand, is artistically everything I hoped for in an adaptation when I first read the manga. I was skeptical of the sound effects at first, but they weren't too overdone (for me anyway), and the way they handled the latter part of the first half significantly elevated the scenes for me. There was some incredible choices made with the sound design which have stuck with me days after watching it and I already want to rewatch it again despite not being the type to see a movie twice in a row so soon. You're completely justified in your grievances, even as I was watching I knew it would disappoint people more attached to the stylistic choices of season 1, but as the saying goes 'One man's trash is another man's treasure'

Regardless of what your preference is, we now have a story with sharply contrasting visions on display, which is never a good thing.
