Can we now finally admit Chainsaw Man season 1 was the biggest failure in modern anime history?

With that out of the way...

The CSM movie trailer with the NEW DIRECTOR (Tatsuya Yoshihara) just dropped and...

It absolutely DESTROYED season 1 in every department!!! I mean, just look at this absolute masterclass of direction and Animation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1n552v1ng0

This is literally what the pinnacle of Japanimation looks like.

This trailer is definitive proof that the previous director, Ryu Nakayama, is solely to blame for the complete financial failure of CSM season 1.

If Chainsaw Man had been as well directed as this new movie it would have been the biggest anime of our modern times! Instead, Jujutsu Midsen FRAUDULENTLY took that spot away from CSM, simply because it was lucky enough to receive a proper director from the beginning!

But it doesn't matter anymore, now that Ryu Nakayama is no longer in charge of ruining the franchise, we finally have a proper genius director like Yoshihara helming the production of Chainsaw Man! CSM's anime can finally "change the anime industry" like it should have done from the beginning!

I remember people were more hyped up when CSM S1 trailer dropped and they started comparing it with JJK. Looks like we are back at it again.

It had everything, But it still bombed.

Sometimes I think, Perhaps if the season had 24 episodes, It might have been received better.

The beginning part of Chainsaw man isn't particularly that great in the manga, It's the middle part which is fantastic.

man just how long u r gonna follow this rage bait shit? yes, chainsaw man wasn't a huge success when it came to bad sales. the reason wasn't really the anime but the japanese audience's hate towards nakamura.

It's just a bait and switch trailer like season 1's. Get ready to be lured in by CRAPPA and buck-broken once again, Diaper.

It was amazing. Maybe it just didn't give the same vibe as the Manga. But no way it was bad.

I'm gonna be straight with ya, this looks way more generic of a shōnen than season 1, though you also have to think about what this trailer mainly showcases: action. Chainsaw Man just isn't about the fights, so you really can't form a complex opinion of the direction simply based on a trailer that mainly showcases fights. That being said, the fights look amazing, but everything before 45 seconds is honestly worse than season 1 in my opinion. It all feels so in your face, gone is the subtlety of the manga, the careful framing and evocative images, it's just another basic shōnen like JJK, at least when it comes to the direction. CSM is supposed to be cinematically directed in a clearly western style, but they just lost that here. I'm not saying that you can't prefer this, though I doubt you really got Chainsaw Man if that is your honest opinion.
Hello, please don't take anything I say as an insult, it is not meant as an attack against you as a person. If I directly disagree with you, that does not mean I think you are wrong, I am just more correct.

All I see is a man comparing the production and animation of a TV series with the production and animation of a movie.

I also see a man judging a series solely on the reception of a small part of public.

I just woke up and I'm already laughing.

Just stop the hate already. It was excellent and indeed a faithful adaptation of manga. Hating it won't make you special.

Very pretentious post. I read Chainsaw Man 3 times, which pretty much makes me the biggest CSM fan in the world. Your "opinion" isn't appreciated here.

I don't know what you're talking about, the animation looks the same as season 1, maybe a bit better because it's a movie and those are always more polished.
Season 1 is amazing, maybe it should have had another cour, but that's it.
