Chainsaw Man (2022)
I came into this anime with high expectations, and I came out bored.
I came into this anime with high expectations, and I came out bored.
I'll start off with the main aspect of the show I enjoyed; the animation (especially in the fights). The characters look badass.
Sadly, the writing lets it down tremendously. The world itself is interesting, however it's never explored in any amount of detail. I wouldn't mind if it fully embraced its over-the-top nature like shows such as Kill La Kill do. Instead, the world feels like it's made up as the story goes along, and every new revelation comes off as an annoying asspull.
Same with the characters: you never feel any sort of connection to them. It seemed like we were supposed to care about lots of the characters, but it's hard to when they constantly get killed off before they can leave an impact on us. To me, it just seemed like the story was just rushing through a bunch of characters the author wanted to shock the audience over and over again. Shock value.
