@taycesoddly i’m so fucking tired of these fuckass tourists man i despise what the animanga community has shaped into over the past 5-6 years

open the schools…i’m a jojo fan from shitfart land and this is my take

@avoidrobin i’m gonna be real bro i genuinely don’t think they’ve finished the other episodes yet. like i don’t even think there’s a finished episode 2 or 3 to even release. hope im proved wrong

Yeah so release it fucking weekly? Are y'all allergic to money?

Kino

@thejokerfangirl No sorry i’m larping i’ve never read a chapter of csm in my life bro

@getoutgrave Did you even read csm ending

Csm ending so bad that im seeing aot chapter 139 discourse on the tl in 2026

@UncleHuss1 About as optimistic as cancer mate

I’m not even joking when I say this Saying AOTs ending isn’t optimistic has to be the most idiotic take ive come across on this app Not only does almost every character get a happy ending but it’s also thematically on the nose Saying this as a CSM ending lover btw

asa mitaka is everywhere for those with eyes to see

チェンソーマン見てくれてありがとうございました！手伝ってくれたアシスタントさん達もありがとうございました！映画ももう少しで上映終わるらしいです！両方長く見ていただいて感謝です！

@noidnoidnoidev I would agree with this if it weren’t for the fact that Denji barely realises this himself, “The story concluding with him dropping this symbol”, but he doesn’t, Pochita has to do it for him. right up until the end he fails to understand this and is still trying to turn into CSM

I am still extremely melancholic that it ended and I can't stop thinking about it. I've been defending Chainsaw Man from superficial criticism for over 6 years lmao so nothing is more symbolic to me than doing this one last time (at least during its release). Chainsaw Man isn't about Chainsaw Man (kinda is at the end). Chainsaw Man has always, always been about Denji. Chainsaw Man was always Denji and Pochita was always Denji's heart. But for a long time, the work and we, the audience, considered the two as separate entities. And this is the main, and perhaps ONLY, catalyst for all the conflicts in Part 2. I can't understand anyone who isn't satisfied with this ending because of "loose ends". It took 200+ chapters for you to understand that the great universe and great characters are just the foundation to tell Denji's story? A story that rewards a character who, even after losing everything, kept following his dream and ALWAYS looking for a third option in the midst of dilemmas where both options suck. ALL the fights Denji won were always through his ability to find ways out of "no way out" situations, and not about how strong he is. The work ALWAYS prioritized closing thematic arcs rather than narrative arcs per se. And the second part is completely self-aware, and to me, this ending is perfect. I always knew that only a happy ending would make sense for the manga. Being the Chainsaw Man (hero/devil) we know became Denji's crutch that sustained him after so many traumas. After Makima disappeared, the single problem for everything that happened was the fact that Denji still wanted to be this hero, or at least his idealized version of it. Just like any addiction that stems from our defense systems in trauma situations. It's very common for people who have suffered abuse to persist with habits and raised defenses even after they are "safe" from those abuses. And these quirks become a burden and a problem, just like the burden of being Chainsaw Man was for Denji. The story concluding with him dropping this symbol and not letting himself be carried away by the options imposed by others is sensational. And this point is proven when he, and we as the audience, are totally rewarded, whether by saving Asa from the same cycle of traumas as his, saving the world, seeing Power and Nayuta happy, and Denji doing good just because he wants to and can. And the paradox is that this is what truly makes him Chainsaw Man and the hero he is, without needing a devil's heart. So, in the end, Chainsaw Man is about Chainsaw Man, but Chainsaw Man isn't the hero of hell, but rather our Denji. ++

@thejokerfangirl not really, nothing in CSMs ending compares to the character assassinations of eren and the cast of AoT, and it’s nowhere near as invalidating of the entire story as AoTs

@getoutgrave Wild take

@kizuriley yeah no it’s far from the worst ending i’ve ever read, but it’s still kinda shit. still don’t think anything will top how awful AoTs ending was

I dont think Ive experienced a more obnoxious timeline than today if chainsaw man is the worst ending you ever read than you genuinely gotta read more I'm not even trying to be pretentious

@HelmsAusti1679 @x_lxvkawa_x But Denji doesn’t receive the character development necessary for him to make these decisions and attain the life he wants by his own accord, it feels like he lacks more and more agency and pochita just does it for him

@x_lxvkawa_x People were begging for Denji to be happy. But the moment Denji finally gets a happy ending people get pissed. But part of me thinks that this isn't the end

the chainsaw man ending is great if you aren’t stupid

@G0ffThew What exactly about this ending is profound? Spiritual successor to endings of devilman and eva? Absolute shit take lol

Now that people have had time to read it, and I've had a bit of time to chew on it, my opinion on CSM's ending is that it's REALLY good. As worthy a spiritual successor to Devilman as the TV Ending of EVA, and sure to be just as divisive in its profundity. It does come out of left field, but that's how Fujimoto's written the story from the beginning. All the best arcs throw Denji into it without warning as a natural result of the chaotic forces in play, so pulling him out of it the same way just makes sense. And it lets the series say exactly what it wants to say without getting bogged down in extraneous details or overlong goodbyes. The only thing I think could have really improved it is a little bit more of Asa's perspective in the last few chapters - "season 2" mostly treats her as a deutoragonist so not getting her input in the final few moments feels weird. Though at the same time, the story was mostly about her total lack of agency so it's fitting in that sense. Pochita taking Denji's agency away at the end is also thematically fitting, and I think handled perfctly - he's watched Denji pursue what he wants this whole time alongside us, so it makes sense that he'd understand better than anyone that what Denji really NEEDS is to not be Chainsaw Man anymore. In the end, we're left with the sense that Denji could and probably will be killed by a devil at any moment, but that was always the case. And until then, he's got his other brain cell back, his little sister and the woman he loved are happy, and he's eating a lot better than toast every day... even if he can't afford it. Perhaps he will even touch another boob one day, but regardless, he is content for now, and that's all he could really ask for. Might expand on my thoughts on this and the rest of the season in an off-the-cuff vlog. Probably I'll talk a bit there about my theory on what primal fear Pochita actually represents. I know some were hoping for a full honest review, but I just don't have time to give it a full scripted video right now, and honestly I don't know if enough of my audience keeps up with the manga to make it worthwhile.

@MahiruPlankton @Rey_Sword You’re fucking tripping lol

@Rey_Sword Chainsaw Man

If you plan on reading Chainsaw Man at any point just stop after Chapter 97 It's not worth it

@tippity feels incredibly disjointed and rushed, poses far more questions than answers and was just all over the place in general, but thats honestly indicative of part 2 as a whole. i appreciate the wholesome fanservice but narratively it honestly fucking sucked.

so whats the verdict

he wrote goodbye eri

@ccfc_07 absolutely class
