| I enjoyed the manga IMMENSLY so im asuming I'll enjoy the anime just as much! I'm just nervous it won't live up to my expectations, so is there anything the animation does really well in comparison to the manga? Anything you loved about it or wished MAPPA had done differently? |
| Yes because they both suck. |
| Manga was damm good but the anime managed to make the chapters it covered, the feel and things that happened on them more impactful and tense than in the manga. I saw the anime first. Loved it |
Spoof_490 said: AakBan_Pochi29 said: alot of people complained about it but I'm gonna say I thoroughly enjoyed it. i just love d th animation, the colour palette, sound design. I mean, I'm not sure how to tonexplwon this but CSM anime for he has one of the best bgms and direction. the scene before Himeno does is fone so beautifully. I love how you can feel the emotions through the screen. if a season 2 comes I'll want it done the same way. I don't know how many times I watched it cause it's done so well! and all those that complain were the Japanese viewers Most likely the same people who would watch another generic isekai harem slop nr.200. |

| Less goofy and much more serious than the manga. |
  Stop dancing and help me out here (ꐦ¬_¬) But i'm dancing to provide moral support for you ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ ) |
| easily the best adaptation in a long time. had to give up on looking for shows that look like the csm anime because i realized it's a tall order, heavenly delusion was good though. |

| I know many people will disagree with me but I think that the anime of Chainsaw man looks a bit too polished. It fails to capture the raw roughness of the manga imo. The adaptation is too high quality and misses out on the shounen charm that the manga has in my opinion. But thats just me, I guess. |
 |
| It's great, but the style is very different from the manga. CSM's manga art is rough and very striking, the anime however tries to capture Fujimoto's cinema-like feel but adjusts it to fit the animation format better. As a result, the pacing in the anime feels less intense than the manga. Overall, they're both great in style but for different reasons. |

the anime is better than the manga deserved. mid story. phenomenal adaptation.
| @riqmoran I mostly agree. I mean, the story in the manga isn’t bad. It’s just okay. Nothing groundbreaking for the genre. I can see it being perfect for people for whom Chainsaw Man is likely the first and probably the last manga they’ll ever read, lol; but as for shounen manga in general, it's okay. Good at times, with weaker moments here and there, entertaining, but that's it. That said, the anime really elevated the source material to another level. It’s a shame so many anime fans all around the world reacted like an emotionally unstable mob towards it. I get that some people were upset because the anime didn’t match how they imagined it would look, but you can express that in a civilized way and just move on. Not seethe over it for years. The manga still exists, and the anime has high production quality. There’s no need to dive into full-blown toxicity over it. Not every popular manga series can get such good treatment. |
| Absolutely not. The anime toned down the pacing, the colors and the liveliness of the characters. It's like a totally different mood. Disregarding the awful CGI, the anime feels like a completely different beast. I did not like this adaption and am very glad that they are going back to the tone of the manga for the upcoming movie and second season. |

| I prefer the anime over the manga. |
| Having watched both this and the reze arc, I can say for sure I like the style of the movie better. The color is more vibrant, less details for the characters but more fluid and natural-looking animation, with over the top action scenes. To be completely honest, in season 1, a character turning their head around takes a couple of second which not only is unnecessarily long, but also janky. Not everything has to be dramatic. The movie "fixes" this issue I had with season 1. |
