personally think this is a sad W. I’m sad ryu nakayama left I hope he still works on it. But I also think that this opens a lot more possibilities. Such as allowing animators who don’t animate in realism to work on this, the schedule will be better, and it’ll be easier on animators because they won’t need to animate every detail

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Not entirely, I think it’s likely he will still work as a key animator or episode director. But I think they wanted a different director so it would be easier on the staff and better received by the fans, which is sad but understandable

Damn that's really sad news. Though considering all the harassment and other shit which he faced online, this was bound to happen ngl.
I actually loved his unique direction in S1 contrary to the popular opinion so this is definitely a huge L in my eyes.

@CreepHazard

I agree. Chainsaw Man adaptation was unique and original, and also it improved on the manga by slowing things down a bit, like you said in the other thread. Things in the last chapters of part 1 were way too fast, and I'm sure Nakayama would fix this. But NOPE, has to be a chaotic mess like every other shonen. Oh well, at least they will buy the fucking Blu rays now, right?

Tf do you mean the schedule will be better, that has nothing to do with Nakayama and all to do with MAPPA. They should have given the team the time they needed to fullfill their creative vision, not the other way around (doubly so since they're the only producer in this case)

I kinda miswrote with schedule, I understand schedule doesn’t have anything to do with director. I just meant his vision made the right schedule even worse because of how much had to be animated. It was also extremely tough on the animators who had to make constant realistic sakuga because the director wanted to mimic human movement constantly

Honestly? probably for the better, the show was *fine* but it felt a little stale due to the direction, the lack of a rock/metal opening also bothered me, if anything CSM *should* have one, not that weird one that we got that only caters towards the *I'm not like the rest of music listeners* snobs.


Now, do I think the  anime has good quality? yeah it does, obviously movie level directing in some scenes, but the dude should know his source material, he's making a shounen, not a hollywood movie, sometimes making an anime a sort of movie is not the better choice.

I don’t mind it, I didn’t mind his more realistic approach to the series.

I would like to see someone else’s take on the series, especially with the flashy action coming up.

Hopefully the new director can do as good, if not better.

However, hopefully they bring him back for P2 as I feel like his direction does work well with P2 slower pace and more grounded approach in story and characters.

imaishi defo not coming to mappa since he only works in trigger☠️(his own studio)and most monogatari staff will probably work in shaft on their own anime(probably fire force)

If this is true, then say goodbye to the most cinematic anime to ever exist and let's welcome anohter generic battle shounen anime. The only way I'm watching whatever garbage CSM turn into is if Nakayama remain at least as Chief Director. Otherwise, all of us who wanted something unique and never done before are fu**ed.

huge if true, csm adaptation was egregious. bro takes a highly beloved manga and instead of trying to give it just a normal high quality adaptation bro forces his ego all over it trying to make something which csm isnt and proceeds to cut all corners as humanely possible while also butchering the atmosphere entirely. the show doesnt feel fun or interesting or cool it feels depressing and bleak with all the drowned out colors and horrid set pieces. the show just looks bizarre with the 3d sets all over the place, the fucked up lighting, and the egregious use of cgi at literally all times. i donno like just make a anime man none of this pseudo Hollywood influence bs.

ALSO, it’s funny seeing all the CM fans saying this is good news when I have been saying the first season was not good since the first episode. I don’t say this to toot my own horn, because I actually like the absurdity of the series. I don’t think it’s going to give Monster a run for it’s money in the writing department, but I don’t even think that was ever the point of the manga. A guy literally sprouts a chainsaw from his head. The anime should’ve channeled the most obvious tone the manga gave off which is silliness and mayhem. It’s no WONDER nobody bothered with the BDs. They streamed it once and are done with it, and the CEO knows it. Sometimes the hardest pills to swallow are the ones that involve tough love. If you want the series to be as good as the manga, demand better. Obviously the CEO feels the first season wasn’t up to the manga’s standards, and the director was met with the axe.

People were whining because they thought it was me bad. Nobody bought the BDs to show support. If everyone enjoyed it so much, why is Mappa getting rid of the director. Money speaks louder than words, and obviously the money isn’t there so Mappa is cleaning house.

The reason he even decided to make the anime as it is was BECAUSE he knew the source material. It was always rooted deep in it's western influences, and Nakayam's choice of direction just dug deeper in these roots - something Fujimoto actively agrees on, but apparently people like you sure love to act like you are way more knowledgeable about what should or shouldn't be done for a series than their actual creators. Plus this whole "this is a shonen" talk as if shonen series should all be adapted the same way and anything else is preposterous? Dumb fucking take.

And lastly, you are the one coming off as a snob if you think the series should only have one specific type of music and that everything else is "a weird song that's catering".

I really could care less who directs it, either way I don't think it's "outstanding", it's an okay show with whatever direction they take it in, the writing is not that good. I am not one of the people that complained about the director, I am just reacting to the news, I think it's for the better for the popularity of the show, it's a shounen, not some kurosawa movie, deal with it.

not sure if it is true but good for both parties if it is.
chainsawman can benefit from having someone that can make the over-the-top style of the manga come out.
nakayama can work on more grounded stories that would fit his style. 
the guy got so much abuse just because some stupid executives from mappa thought his style is fit for this series. if this mess negatively effects nakayama or chainsawman it would be one of the biggest dropped ball ever.

It's not even confirmed and yet, if they strictly follow the manga and improve some parts, it would be hard to not built legacy, if they go TPN path on the other hand... But MAPPA has look competent so far, no worries.

It's gonna be funny when the adaptation is so much worse and everyone complains more. Some people don't understand we could have had a Berserk 2016 adaptation.

In my opinion, it was near perfect. There are a couple of rough cgi shots, but nothing that ruins the show.
