Despite the massive marketing of CSM it didnt reach the KnY level of hype or even JJK so far. Everything will depend on this episode. If that doesnt explode then nothing else will.
it has surpassed jjk and kny outside Japan, but kny is unbeatable in japan
Good, I was not a big fan of JJK.

And there it is, the episode I was waiting, when shit hit the fan for the first time and the stakes were raised sharply. The cinematography surrounding Himeno's sequence at the beginning was really good and by the end the sequence didn't disappoint.

Thrilled to go back to this part in these last few episodes.

CGI too much. Never come close to KNY.

Fr KNY is the best anime ever made and have the best animation of all time
I mean I am a fan of KNY and all the effort that Ufotable put into that show is amazing and visually stunning and is definitely a cut above most shows. However, I think that the chainsaw man animation and CG is still really well done. It definitely has a different visual style, but I wish the cg was rendered at a slightly higher fps.( I also really am a fan of the color pallet they use). However, I am currently preferring the chainsaw man plot so far over the KNY plot if we are just comparing the two. Both are good though.

And here i wanted to say that Aki's home is epic and that i loved her balcony but oh well what are the odds that things wouldn't end well in this episode.

It's obvious that Makima isn't dead, and same for Denji but we don't know Makima's power...so maybe it has something to do with getting everyone back? Or at least some alive haha

That's because this isn't either of those types of shounen. It's not "fighting baddies with godlike powers for hype action moments" whatsoever. When people were talking about CSM being hype, it was never hype scenes. It's a slow build with careful plotting. It's more like a seinen, and the overall great writing and quality are what make it "hype."


Come on dude, stop with the cap, "slow build with careful plotting"? This isn't what CSM hype is about, CSM hype it's about the insane demon fights, over the top violence, Denji being a "relatable" perverted teenager and the crazy "wtf" moments like Himeno puking on Denji's mouth, you have CSM fanboys being literally mad that they censored puke because they wanted to see the "iconic scene in all it's glory", people barking for the staff in events and etc. Don't get me wrong, the anime has been really good so far but don't try to act like CSM is hyped by fans because of "slow build, careful and deep plotting" because it's not.

Okay this episode convinced me to read the manga. It's quite interesting.

After all the "it gets interesting", "it gets better" "anime onlies are not prepared" and all sorts of statement sending the same message, I fail to see where it got better in the manga. But it's definitely entertaining.

Why did you mistake what I said as some kind of resounding praise or "gotcha" moment of superiority over JJK or KnY? I said that CSM has a slower build and careful plotting, like a seinen, and it clearly does if you read the manga or have watched the 8 episodes so far. This is what's actually being shown and it could not be more absurdly clear, why do you take it to mean that this is some kind of slight against JJK or KnY? I'm a fan of both JJK and KnY too, and the intended differences aren't going over my head. People mistook the "hype" to mean the type of "battle hype" that JJK and KnY have in each episode. And that isn't the type of hype anyone meant (though there are some great action sequences in CSM as well). This is a description of how the two types of storytelling are different.

Also, I don't associate with or care about the fandom, what do sweaty nerds barking or complaining about barf have to do with anything at all? We're talking about how the story itself is portrayed. If you want to talk about cringey fans, I've encountered far more of them from KnY and other battle shounen like One Piece or Bleach.

Hes really misguided with the whole its actually a seinen thing cause those are just age demographics (case and point K-on is a Seinen) but hes not wrong that the reason people like CSM has almost nothing to do with the action cause theres not really that much of it, people like it cause its a really depressing series (to put it in the least spoilery terms) hence why people keep saying this is the ep where it starts. People werenexcited to see all the suffering thats gonna come from the shots and himeno's death not any particularly fight from this arc

Choose to believe me or not for now, but going into this series for crazy action will leave you disappointed cause it really aint gonna focus on it other than to motivate dangers in the plot. Its one of the least hype series in modern jump cause your too busy feeling dread to think anything is cool. And to just really put it in perspective how little people are in it for the action, Part 2 hasnt even really had a fight aside from a passing set of pages and its 2 and a half volumes deep

Okay, that ep was insane! Some serious Game of Thrones level stuff there. But now I'm super sad cuz my favorite character is gone!! And what about Makima?? Somehow, I can't accept she's out of the picture yet. (Obviously, I haven't read the manga.)

In the end, Denji did not do it with Himeno. And the next day, he had breakfast with her.
The details that MAPPA is doing, unbelievable.
They both made a deal to get closer to Makima and Aki.
But here, things were going to change a lot.
Those who read the manga (including me) knew what was going to happen now...The demon Katana.
And that it started this way...Himeno :'(
Very good chapter.
Eighth ending, TK from Ling tosite sigure - "First death".
It was cool this ending, but one thing...the title HURTS.

Here, many images.

Ayyy let's goooo!!!

Katana devil makes his entrance and it did not disappoint.

Time for some bloody carnage. That Aki fight with the Katana devil was well adapted.
The curse devil looks very menacing.

The Public Safety Hunter Organization are in for a rough surprise. This time with guns!!

Himeno's screen time was short lived but enough to carry some weight.
Her passing away will forever haunt Aki. Poor lad.

Next episode is gonna be insane.

another boring episode!! dreadfull pacing, awful storytelling and an absolute waste of time!! give me my time back!!!!

why are they adding more anime original scenes??? that whole himeno bit in the beginning was completely unnecessary. anime orginal scenes that add nothing to the plot or its themes are pure fanservice that greatly diminishes the quality of one's work. the csm manga was grotesquely overrated to begin with so it only made it worse.
that pacing was just horrendous, you could tell how unnecessarily stretched out that scene was, milking out certain events like the aforementioned one to drag it till one season. they could've easily added 2 or more chapters but given the hype that the manga itself has generated, looks like they're desperately milking that cow till the last drop.

blatant CGI was what fucked up the berserk re-adaption and now its happening with chainsaw man. mappa even added several pop cultural reference for the opening and different ending songs for each episode for the anime just to fill the void of their incapability to produce a fairly good animation for csm.

apart from the cgi and the anime original scenes that serves no purpose to the plot, there was one particular event that looked really good, especially the direction aspect of it. when i read the manga, i anticipated the sequence of kobeni, arai and the other public safety members getting iced out to be in slow-mo with a trippy bg ost for a good suspenseful buildup for katana man's introduction and mappa really did it. that whole sequence was storyboarded beautifully. the only episode where i could give a rating above 2
