Chainsaw man is an overrated series I don't know why the CSM Simps love it so much CSM 4/10
Why I think its bad
Chainsaw man within its early chapters was a great series I did like it during those early stages it seemed like a fun shonen with a funny cool MC until we reach the later parts of the series around the time Aki Died that is when the series turned into a shitfest in my opinion random things were happening and the story lost its appeal as a lot of things were happening that had no reasoning behind it unnecessary events that have no significance to the story itself characters like denji slowly got boring and the tints of him being a very bland mc started to show the ending was okay but the whole build-up towards it wasn't that great characters died for reasons i deem as unnecessary so basically no reason and the whole story was clustered and i felt as though the pacing was very off
Then explain this:
EDIT: As the first comment I am going to take it upon myself to explain.
OP started this thread with just the first sentence. Everyone made fun of him and eventually we told him to defend his argument which he eventually did by editing his post. Please keep this in mind when you reply to the thread.
PS: This forum needs a "Last Edited" timestamp feature on posts.

Sword Art Online is a overrated series i don't know why the SAO Simps love it so much SAO is 4/10
Sao is hated to much and plus reki kawahara was just starting.
it's hated for a reason
Seriously SAO is not that bad
Seen worse, more boring story with super cliché characters and horrible animation, next to it SAO is actually kinda good
It's hated more than other similar or worse animes because it was really popular back then and there was very hype and expectations of it to be something good.
Well people always find a way to hate something for stupid reason...
I also expected Jujutsu Kaisen to be way better, it is not, so far I like villains the most, MC is boring the hell out of me etc etc.
Should I call it worst anime of all just because it was overhyped?
It still has qualities, same with SAO, probably same with Chainsaw Man
There is very few anime which I consider bad
Hate bandwagon is annoying same with hype...
In all seriousness, I kinda agree with you.
But I still think it's entertaining.
Understandable i respect that opinon
OMFG get off your high horse and stop acting so condescending. Then get all mad when people disagree with your public statement
You literally put "lol" and "lmao" in every sentence to try and take the heat off you as well as post stuff like "lol IMAGINE BEING THE ONE TO CRY AND RANT ABOUT IT CRY ME A RIVER"
People like you piss me off
I'm only replying to this comment because it serves as perfect evidence to my opinion here
lmao this is the one thread mods should lock this is such bad bait
Not really bait when i genuinally wanted to state my opinion since I haven't seen others address it if its really bad bait why click on to it lmao
The thing you are failing to pick up on is that this wasn't enough to start a whole thread. This was barely even worth a status post. But you went ahead and made a forum post with no argument to back up your claim and instead insulted the fans of the manga.
You deserve every last bit of negativity you get till the mods lock the thread.
I agree that Chainsaw Man is overrated. I gave it 53 chapters of a chance, but never saw the appeal in it. It's just another generic shounen about some unlikable and annoying hot headed protagonist fighting his way through equally generic monsters that the story gives the reader no reason to care about. The only thing that CSM does different is that it tries way too hard to be weird, but it never becomes an interesting kind of weird. It's a shame that whenever someone voices an unpopular opinion, half the people in these threads feel the need to come in and say, "You think this other series is good, so your opinion is invalidated." Surely each one of us have at least one unpopular series that we love, so what's the point of calling someone else out for it?
I would say 6 or 7/10 but I agree, it's overrated. Especially after a particular event... the quality deteriorated
I haven't read it but I've heard that part 2 is going to be moving to another magazine and the release time will be doubled which should help the author put out better product.
I normally don't read this kinda stuff but I picked up Fire Punch on a whim recently and enjoyed it enough to start looking into this stuff more.
There u go i gave brief reasoning as to why I don't like it
Much better OP.
Hopefully this will be a lesson for all of us on the dangers of "Hot Takes" without substance.
dude finally takes the loss after fucking trying to back up and keep losing, what a loser
Don't see how he's a loser if he took the criticism and made the effort to explain his reasons for posting what he did.
A loser would have kept going.
bro i was talking about you not him
Now your "loser" comment makes even less sense and since I am obviously not the only one to think that why don't you explain yourself.
Chainsaw Man and its Kafkaesque writing is unparalleled. The poignant and nihilistic storytelling is something you won't find anywhere else, and the dialogue flows like a river. While the panelling not only is appreciated by the sagacious, it requires a keen eye to be fully discerned, not to mention its plot which despite its chaste premise, quickly transforms into a political thriller, which subverts the expectations of its initially seemingly diminutive scope.

Honestly at this point the good stuff is over. OP made an edit to the post to include his reasons behind his original shitpost so anything at this point is just hurt feelings.
Bruh I read everything you have written and holy shit bro. You already said you didn't read the manga so why are you defending something you didn't read. Also why are you acting so damn high and mighty? It's a thread on the internet it doesn't really matter that much at all, and the mere fact that you went through all of this just so you can say you're right is sad. Anime is subjective and will never be objective unless someone want's to bring the authors stand point. I ain't trying to defend crap, but you come off as so much of an asshole that it's annoying. I'm talking about you ImoutoHeadpat :/
You already said you didn't read the manga so why are you defending something you didn't read.
If you read everything I posted then you already know that what I objected to was his original post in which he said:
"Chainsaw man is an overrated series I don't know why the CSM Simps love it so much CSM 4/10"
That was all he wrote initially. What I objected to was not his opinion, but his decision to shit up the forum with yet another hot take that was best left for his profile status. So if he wasn't going to put in the effort to explain himself, why should I go through the effort of treating his "argument" seriously? He made the assertion so the onus is on him to back it up.
Since he had such a low opinion of the manga and went out of his way to insult everyone that likes it while planning to read part 2, I figured it was worth calling out his apparent hypocrisy.
After a lot of shitposting we managed to convince him that he needed to explain himself. After that I thanked him for his correction and stopped harassing him and moved on to chatting with the others.
Also why are you acting so damn high and mighty? It's a thread on the internet it doesn't really matter that much at all, and the mere fact that you went through all of this just so you can say you're right is sad.
It's called banter son. If you can't recognize it when you see it then I think it's my turn to say, "It's a thread on the internet it doesn't really matter that much at all" Hell, even the OP figured that out early and rolled with it as far as chatting with me. You should really talk to the guys that kept the one-upsmanship going for over an hour after OP made the correction.

My opinion still stands you are acting as if what you said is a fact. He doesn't like it period if he has the ability to change other people views on it then good for him? Even if he barely explained shit it doesn't give you the right you act as if you are some sort of savior of this thread if you haven't read it at all. The mere fact that you didn't read it just makes me annoyed and you have the right to go ahead and try to defend something you have read. "Hell, even the OP figured that out early and rolled with it as far as chatting with me". Dude sure he explained it all so people can understand his point more, but my point still stands, you act as if you are some sort of savior and is helping this chat I already know what I said early about the thread on the internet but the amount of egotistical shit coming from you is annoying, also dude even if he updated and gave a reason why he still won't like it no matter what people said be he read it. It's an opinion at the end of the day the mere fact that you went ahead and clicked this thread and thought that OP did some sort of sin is what's brothering me, yeah I admit he could've worded it more but that doesn't call for some bullshit like you coming to this thread and acting as if you are giving valid criticism.

Once again, I didn't object to his opinion, I objected to his attitude.
Even if he barely explained shit it doesn't give you the right you act as if you are some sort of savior of this thread if you haven't read it at all.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
The mere fact that you didn't read it just makes me annoyed and you have the right to go ahead and try to defend something you have read.
Yet again, I was criticizing his methods, not his opinion. Calling fans of CSM "simp" while offering no coherent argument to his claim that the manga isn't good is a fruitless endeavor.
you act as if you are some sort of savior and is helping this chat I already know what I said early about the thread on the internet but the amount of egotistical shit coming from you is annoying
I am not the savior this board needs, but the one it deserves.
also dude even if he updated and gave a reason why he still won't like it no matter what people said be he read it.
He can not like a thing. He can let people know he doesn't like a thing. I never said he couldn't
It's an opinion at the end of the day the mere fact that you went ahead and clicked this thread and thought that OP did some sort of sin is what's brothering me, yeah I admit he could've worded it more but that doesn't call for some bullshit like you coming to this thread and acting as if you are giving valid criticism.
My criticism was perfectly valid. You just object to my methods which is fair as I objected to his.
For the future, please consider using a courtesy paragraph. Walls of text are rarely fun to read.
4/10 is a little harsh imo;
The bullet pacing of the plot that accelerated at the midway point is definitely something unsettling and it should be scrutinized. Although I only read but a few other similar shonen, this series did feel refreshing. It didn't really feel all that cookie cutter to me as I found a lot of the ideas tried within the story to be daring and exciting. Moreover, I find the ADHD shotgun spray of plot points to lends itself to this point. I think expecting the unexpected led to a fun reading experience and really encapsulated this particular joy in reading these types of shonen.
The chapter arch to chapter arch cohesion seems to be intentionally loose or weak -- but I dont think this is entirely unsatisfactory since it does not seem that cohesion, at least of this first part, was the point of the story. I think a lot of what happened here will probably manifest itself into some larger symbolic story about relationships (and of course their role in society).
I think CSM is missing a solid universe (a concept I wouldn't be surprised if the mangaka completely turns on its head in later parts of the story). Once we learn more about the hell (in both the under and over world) that is attempted to be constructed here, I bet then we will have the cohesion a lot are looking for.
Ultimately I see CSM as a quick and fun read. The fast pacing of the story feels intentional and its validity should be investigated more as the overarching story develops. CSM captures the joy I get from reading these types of stories while cutting a lot of the fat that can plague the genre. I don't believe CSM has even gotten started as I am still hopeful that the continuation of the series can really become something special. A task easier said than done.
