| Chainsaw-man was another zoomer culture anime where it starts out as entertaining and quirky but then takes itself way too seriously and a lot of people don't like it so the anime flops. Just watched the episode of Dandadan that came out this week and it had overly-emotional and dark moments that took up too much time of the episode, will this trend continue for the remaining episodes and this anime flops as well like CSM? |

| if you mean later arcs will have sad backstories too then the answer is yes its a common formula of this show |
| I will do the deed. Chainsaw Man didn't necessarily flop, it just needed to be 2 cours to have some time to build up a little more. On the note of Dandadan, don't worry, the story remains the quirky Dandadan with the emotional hard hitting bits sprinkled in. |

CSM flopped, it is getting a movie and another season.....I don't think a production company will invest that much in a flopped anime.
| @Reckless_weeb that's because the manga is still successful so they're doing everything to revive it somehow. |
| "Zoomer culture anime" Holy shit, just talk like a normal person. |

If you are discussing marketing and sales it's one thing. But don't confuse or relate quality with how good a show sells. It's true that in today's world you can measure pretty well if a show is good or not on the sales, however Chainsaw-man from a critical perspective as a show was outstanding as it seems like DanDaDan is following. Now if that will convert into sales, the anime community can only hope so, so we can continue to get very good shows that show passion like these examples. TL:DR Just because a show doesn't sell and flop sales wise doesn't mean, from a quality/critical perspective that the show did something wrong or was worse than shows that sell more!! Edit: Plus they all come from the same team (Fujimoto & Assistants which branched on their own) which demonstrates that the shows they are making are consistently good and you can feel the passion that goes into them! |

| this is why I hate the subforum of the animes that have a good production or is from a popular manga. They're just magnets for rage baiters. |
| I personally think dandadan is much better than shitsawman in literally every criteria. As for the OPs question, yes this sad tragic backstories will come but won’t be the main aspect of the series. Dandadan is a wacky action comedy to its core and it will remain like that for the most part, where csm is just your average gorefest new gen shounen with edgy cast of characters. |

Doesnt make even the slightest sense over here. The anime sales were low, because of the Japanese being adamant about the change in the anime's art style and its Hollywood-ish direction. Not because of the story whatsoever. If you look at it that way, even solo levelling has bad BD sales where it didnt even hit 4 digits. Yet, the series is pretty popular worldwide and is rumoured to be getting multiple back to back seasons. |

Yeah I think that's because people in Japan aren't willing to support adaptations of korean work or something. I recall people from japan rating that show pretty low for no good reason as well.

Inconsistent tone and style was the problem with CSM, Dandadan might follow that as well but who knows maybe it works this time. |
| "CSM anime failed" cope still going in 2024 is wild. I honestly thought those people would just take an L instead of double grown and embarrassing themselves further. |
 |
| I like both CSM and Dandadan and I want more of each one. Having read around 100+ chapters of both I can say that I enjoy Dandadan better. |

| @LenRea CSM was a huge success in streaming sites. It was one of the most viewed anime. |
| CSM was great. It's only mistake was airing in this time, where every dummy acts entitled and enlightened, while stealing Masterpieces, on the internet. |
 |
| How it could not. The mangaka was an assistant of Chainsaw-man mangaka. It already does since the rape scene in episode 1. By that I mean , Dandadan uses the same tactics as Chainsaw-man. By that I mean , disgusting sexual jokes and scenes , random plot with zero anticipation and predictable as hell, one dimensional characters made purely to satisfy people on X, Pixiv and influencers on Youtube etc. And everybody that doesn't let themselves be influenced by the hype can understand this since the first episode |
| How can anyone come to any negetive conclusion watching last episode is just... |

what?😭 A show can be "quirky" and silly and still deal with serious topics. csm did it and the manga is thriving and season 2 is otw. not sure what u meant with this post.
| @kissmygrimoire some people seemingly hate to see heavy themes being depicted in shows since it doesn't fit their expectations of it. And then they conveniently label it as "tonal shift" or whatever sorry dismissive excuse they come up with. |

In what universe is an anime with a 8.47 rating, based on a million users, a flop?
| @Ricdumb Pure copium . From when 397,117 members and only 84k+that have rated represent the majority of anime community ? |
Reply to Ricdumb
@Yubisoft I was speaking on the anime and who said it represents the anime community? The only numbers you can go off of are the numbers from people who actually have seen it and who have rated it. Anything else you use for an argument is "copium" as you would say.
| @Ricdumb I mean you said that. The MiLliOns users Ricdumb said: based on a million users Ricdumb said: The only numbers you can go off of are the numbers from people who actually have seen it and who have rated it And these represent an extremely small amount of the 600m+ anime fans worldwide or the fans that have watched the anime and don't use mal etc. Basic statistics . Ricdumb said: Anything else you use for an argument is "copium" as you would say You have surpassed me. In your case , everything in your comment is copium believing 84k people magically making an anime not a flop(without counting those who dropped it) |
agreed, I can't stand the confusing ass phrases. |
| the dandadan forums are getting filled with more and more braindead threads now. hot spot for attention seeking at the moment. |

WoW I knew you were stupid, but I didn’t know it was that bad. Csm doesn’t have inconsistent tone. Yes it is weird, but the tone ain’t inconsistent

Stupid (Characters limit)

You talk linking the animated series and the comic like they are the same thing. Fujimoto wrote Chainsaw Man so serious from the start, the bad adaptation it's not his fault, but Mappa's
| @Irshiki Bad adaptation??? CSM doesn't have a bad adaptation. CSM is one of Mappa's finest work imo. |
| Not the zoomer complaining about zoomer culture and projecting it onto shows that have nothing to do with it. |

I don't think so, I find very different for the original series, they transformed a series with a certain mood and certain themes into something different, but that's not something bad normally, but in this case they warped that mood and that themes into the mood and the themes they thought they should had
| @Irshiki They did not "warp the themes" in any way, shape or form. Everything that has been adapted as of now is exactly the same as it was in the manga from a narrative standpoint. This is not a Tokyo Ghoul or Promised Neverland situation, people just love to make shit up. |
