Is this series actually any good, or just edgy garbage that got popular with teenagers?

As a manga reader of this series who has read this series over and over again countless times, I can say to you without a doubt Chainsaw Man deserves the praise and hype. While it may seem very shallow on the surface, once you delve into it there are many deep and philosophical themes throughout the story. Denji isn't just "horny = funny" there is legitimate depth to his character and he is challenged numerous times on what he values. Chainsaw Man is my all time favorite manga not because of its more "edgy" style but because it is genuinely an extremely thought provoking, in-depth series that rightfully deserves all the hype surrounding it. If you still don't believe me, read at least a couple of chapters for yourself. You might enjoy it a ton or you might not. Either way I hoped this help :)

before the hate comments, i want to say that this is an actual question i have, not a troll post. but yeah, basically all i ever hear about why CSM is so great are the protagonist, Makima and her “dogs,” etc. almost all that i’ve heard about this manga makes it sound like a fetish manga more than anything (femdom, vomit, degradation). is the story actually any good or is it just shock moments one after another to keep its relatively young audience hooked?

and Denji… is there ACTUALLY any depth here? i’m not even joking when i say that i’ve never heard anyone talk about why they like him aside from the idea that “oh he’s horny and it’s funny” or “he wants to touch boobs!” i’ve seen plenty of people criticize characters like Luffy or Gon because they’re “simple” but all the praise I see for Denji is solely because horny = funny.

all that being said, i truly mean it when i say this isn’t a hate post. Fujimoto’s art is super captivating to me, i like the setting, and i am a sucker for stories with a lot of gore admittedly. i had planned on reading it and still may (or watch it) but the more i see people talk about it the less appealing it seems. idk i’m just curious if this series actually holds any weight or if it’s just softcore porn.

I was wondering the same thing. It seems like an interesting plot and story, but when I started reading it, I couldn’t get into it. I’m not sure what all the hype is about

Basically sums up chapter 1 Denji

based on what you said you heard about the series that’s all satirical nonsense that people spam cause it’s kinda a meme in the community. just read some mal reviews for more info i don’t really wanna get into it rn.

one thing though about denji you said that he has no depth which is half-right. it’s true that denji never really changes throughout part 1 (part 2 will have that), however denji’s entire life is fucked up beyond compare. everything: his childhood to his public safety life, nothing goes his way. by the end it’s actually crazy how much shit he went through. which is why i say part 2 will have development most likely dealing with severe trauma that came from part 1.

highly recommend this series it’s really really unique and fresh

Mf just wait and watch it for yourself. Why would you ask random people online what they think about it? Are you so insecure that you need an opinion on what to watch? I've read most of these comments so far, and all I've gotten nothing of value out off of em. And I'm a manga reader, imagine how confused an anime only would be from all these different opinions presented to them as objective facts. Seriously, just give it a try when it comes out, whether it's good or not, that's up to you, not anyone else.

If kny is book cutter than what is jjk....Is any thing jjk done on its own characters are copy from Naruto concept is copy from bleach...even arcs are copy from Naruto like maki arc is just straight up Itachi arc

I don't think Demon Slayer characters are annoying what are you talking dude

i’m sorry i upset you. i recommend you lie down and cry about it, it’s a great way to get the feelings out <3

jjk is an adapter which means it copies previous works but does them well so the newer generation can fuck with it. id say jjk does the adapting portion better than a lot of adapters like black clover for example

i didn't elaborate on it but characters like zenitsu are the reason why i don't really like kny as much as jjk or csm. if a character has a trait such as "i get scared a lot" or "im kind and can do no wrong", all they are is that trait. they beat that 1 trait to death and it doesn't help build connections or enjoyability when characters only have 1 trait. if you want a character like zenitsu done right, look at kobeni from chainsaw man 🤷‍♂️
