Chainsaw Man Season 1 received a lot of criticism.
It was really amazing, though.
Fans want the second season to be just like that.
It feels like hating on MAPPA has become trendy nowadays, and it’s somewhat understandable after learning about all the controversies that the studio is involved in.
But Season 1 of Chainsaw Man received a lot of criticism back when fans’ outrage with MAPPA wasn’t so great. Some reproached it for the CGI, some thought it was too short and had to be a two-cour season. And some didn’t like the execution. What is “too cinematic”, after all?
But it’s pointless to deny that the Chainsaw Man anime became a great success and attracted an immense number of fans to the manga, making Fujimoto one of the most popular mangaka in the world. And we have to be honest with you, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Season 1 was good
Yes, it had its issues, and it’s true that the season would have benefited from being longer, since the best parts of the manga are yet to come. But it doesn’t make it a poor adaptation. On the contrary, the season was highly enjoyable.
The “too cinematic” allegations feel weird since Fujimoto is a great fan of cinema, and even if he wasn’t: Season 1 looked incredible. Most of the fans didn’t even notice the CGI elements in the anime, and the cinematic style is the reason why you can find Chainsaw Man in a lot of “most aesthetically pleasing anime” lists.
Fans want Season 2 to be just like that
No matter how many people would disagree, there is still a huge number of fans who want Season 2 to look just like the first one. With the aforementioned CGI and cinematic aspects.
They loved the first season, it provided the best possible contrast between insanity, brutality and beauty. It worked perfectly, and the anime’s high scores are there to prove that.
There’s just hope that MAPPA will learn from their mistakes and will take into consideration all of the comments about the season’s duration as well as realize the importance of reasonable deadlines. And the rest should stay the same.
Season 1 was an astonishing example of a well-made adaptation, not a poor one, and there’s a certain confidence that the Reze movie will follow suit. And then, hopefully, Season 2.
Fans want a stunning experience with the right level of cinematography and breathtaking moments that you’ll be thinking of even weeks after watching an episode.
Hot take: Season 1 was actually amazing.
