| @Ionliosite2 Lol, you beat me to it. I can only think of two or three authors who get this much attention outside of their main work. |
 |
| Looks like the story will be pretty chill, so far it doesn't look half bad. |

Reply to Massdrop
@RobertBobert Not even just attention. Some of the cuts in this trailer are fucking insane in terms of quality.
| @Massdrop And this is in a relatively short time. Just remember how long it took for the author of Conan to get spin-off adaptations and a remake of the first title? |
|
| Watching the trailer was like watching CSM Part 1's recap. |
  |
| I've actually never seen his older works before Fire Punch, so this is going to be quite the treat! |
 |
| I'm super excited. As rough around the edges some of Fujimoto's early work are, they are also stupidly insane. Overall, his early work feels like an authentic reflection of who he is, and that's more important than polish in my opinion. The animation seems great as well. This could be one the most unique anime projects in recent years. |
| fujimoto really stands above the rest. |
 |
| Awesome! Chainsaw Man is painfully overrated. His One-Shots are better than the final execution of his long running manga. |
| Wasn't expecting this, but down for more of his stuff to get adapted. Makes it feel like an Eri anime is inevitable one day. |
 |
| Unexpected move, but I’m not gonna complain. Probably a good chance to see these stories on screen. |
| Great time to be a Fujimoto fan 🙏 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Woah, Fujimoto-sensei is really lucky to have that kind of compilation turned into anime. It's rare to see such things happening in the industry. At least I can't recall it being a thing. |
