The male and female MCs are basically dealing with the same issues from different perspectives.

Both are killers, but at the same time, they do not want to be and their conscience bothers them about each kill they make.

Both are figuring out how to deal with experiences in their Life that caused them to be more than just a stone cold merciless heartless mindless killer, which they had viewed as flaws in themselves, before meeting each other.

Each experienced bias and prejudice, one from the rumors of them being a heartless assassin, the other because she is female and seen as weak.

Through their interactions they learn to deal with their uncertainties, mixed feelings, and mental strife.

They view each other as being stronger than themselves and learn from each other how to overcome their own experiences and confusion, which causes them to gain trust and respect for one another, wanting to protect one another.

That is my take on the anime and why I enjoy it.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series and judge each based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

the colors are nice. opening and ending are cool. characters are all diverse and intriguing, from all walks of life. the worldbuilding is decent bc its basically one location they have to flesh out. and bc its slightly AOT ish(in terms of mortality and twists).

If is unique in many aspects.
For example, we have married shounens protagonist. On top of that, he is devoted to his wife, which diminishes unnecessary shipping between two main leads.

Also, most characters do not have plot armour.
Whenever we see a named character with a rich design, some depth and personality, we subconsciously assume, that they're going to stay for a while. But not here. You might have some seemingly important character suddenly die.

Each anime/manga from the Dark trio is unique in their own way,but with Jigokuraku has (at least for me) one of the most "fun to read" stories in anime.It doesn't get boring overtime and it just keeps improving the story and the characters themselves

If you're enjoying this season when it's done GIVE manga a chance, I can say that is such as good or even more than anime adaptation.
Is Chainsaw Man overrated or just overhyped?

Pace I think.

It's not doing anything too different from any other Shonen.
But it sure gives like cool Moments, every Episode, without much worldbuilding or exposition. It just feels natural and super fast paced.

Sorry to inform you this. But your test results have shown you that you suffer from mappanism. Your opinions about any mappa entry is automatically biased. Your addicted to mappa, and if the company ever goes bankrupt. You’ill explode.

The story and fights are part of the writing.

What is wrong with the characters?

Theyre incredibly tryhard-deep yet somehow manage to have 0 actual depth. They consistently repeat their ideals as if theyre programmed robots and take themselves "too seriously" or rather the show takes them too seriously. This is an issue because the characters themselves are goofy, trope-y and absurd so it all just ends up looking almost like a satiric parody of an anime.

The story isnt "good" but its captivating and cool. Fighting doesnt really fall under "writing" id say. The story is just weird, illogical, it tells you everything instead of showing you things. Everything is constantly repeateded multiple times per episode. Very odd and weird. All the good aspects of the anime IMO come from the director and animation. Pacing is good, animation and fights are good. The cherry on top is the fact that the story and characters themselves add well to the "mindless fun" vibe of the anime.

like its def not an anime ill sit down and be like "wowww how interesting and thought provoking, how well done". more of a "wow haha boom boom badass" vibe

The opening music is good, the story is ok, It is mysterious, good power level, and of course it also depends a bit on the animation quality.

Well, it's not good imo. 

The mc is great. His story. His fighting skills.

But I didn't like the other characters. I didn't think the fights were very enjoyable unless the mc went crazy which is hardly ever. It was largely uninteresting.

It's entertaining but stupid as all hell. Characters and plot feel like they've been written by a 13 year old boy. Fights, art, and animation keep me entertained.
