Is Chainsaw Man that good?
>>283424050it's better than midren for sure
MAL posting should be a bannable offense
It was pretty kino ngl, but not #2 level kino. Same could be said for everything in that list desu
>>283424146What should be #1? Angel's Egg?
>>283424050The score is currently massively inflated since the only ones who have seen it are the turbo cuck super fans who gave away their literal money to MAPPA even after they butchered s1All MAL ratings decrease over time (Frieren was originally 9.4) but CSM will drop off much more than anything else.
>>283424050How do anglos have such unerringly fucking stupid opinions
>>283424204Flip Flappers, FLCL, Penguindrum, Sonny Boy, GITS 2, Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy
>>283424345All of them are random shit they dont deserve top 10 of nothing
>>283424345Ok boomillennial
>>283424050Mal ratings are inflated by their fanbases and if the anime is popular/new.
>>283424050Is better than everything here except Gintama.
>>283424050>malfuck off
>>283424146Nah gintama belongs easily
>>283424862Based gintamachad but lotgh and snks3p2 are right there.
>>283424050no look at the sales
>>283424050i got cancer and died from looking at that list
>>283425522Shingeki is the one that least deserves to be at the top next to the one piece ad
>>283424050No.
>>283424345>texhnolyzeLook i love trippy sci-fi shit as much as possible but tex was excruciatingly painful to watch and made 0 sense. It is 100% a niche show you appreciate for the visuals and atmosphere. Half the series is the protagonist mindlessly running around the town before encountering the rei loli
>>283424050Mal was only good when clannad, aria and owari were at the top 5 now is full of bots and people that dont watch anime
>>283424345>GITS 2I almost thought you were being serious.
>>283424082spbp>>283425800Mal was never good for anything except checking what else a seiyuu was in.
>>283424050Steins;Gate and One Piece are overrated shit
I want to know MAL and Anilist type score but averaged based not on view amount, where you cant vote until 5 years after the show has aired, after proving you watched the series via a test with basic setting and story questions to prove you at least half paid attention. Just out of curiosity how much this would change the asinine ratings.That being said, the chainsaw movie was very enjoyable.
>>283424050Publishers use bots to push whatever is the current FOTM to the top.
>>283424345>Sonny Boy
>>283424050Steins;gate and LotGH are the only anime that belong on that list
>mal
>>283427133Sonny Boy is one of the better anime from the last few years.
>>283424050Anime is popular now, that's the only reason.
>>283427934Its a bad written coming of age, its not good
>>283424050>LotGH and a bunch of slopShit list.
>>283425508 Gintama is an unwatchable, utter shit and I am tired of pretending otherwise.>>283424276not everything decreases. Berserk 97 was 8.3 fifteen years ago.
>>283424050MAL is shit
>>283424050it's like 7/10
>>283424050Reze-hen is genuinely one of the best anime films since Thrice Upon a Time.
>>283424050It's what the zoomers are watching at current time. Same as Naruto.
>>283424862this is objectively correct
>>283428502>not everything decreases. Berserk 97 was 8.3 fifteen years agoMore casuals means more popular animes having more inflated scores (also new ones for some reason)
>>283425676Now your spooky ghost haunts the thread this Hallow's Eve
>>283424050Rankings like these are a popularity contests, they say nothing about quality.
>>283429727what do you think deserves to be up there instead
>>283424050The movie was a 7.5/10 but it's still far better than anything else in the top 5. Top 10 at least has a few good things in the lower half.
>>283424050It's good but mal ratings are still junk.
>>283424050It was always great. It's just that season 1's poor adaptation dragged everything down. Now that it has received a faithful adaptation, people are starting to realize that CSM is not just another mindless shonenslop series. Season 2 will adapt the best conent of the entire manga and elevate CSM into "modern classic" territory.
>>283424082This
>>283429957Its not better than anything at the top 5 contrarian newfag
>>283430339>people are starting to realize that CSM is not just another mindless shonenslop seriesWell, no, because the parts adapted in first season is just mindless shounenslop and not even particularly good shounenslop.And Reze is honestly out of this world. Fujimoto has honestly never managed to do anything anywhere this good since or again.
>>283430339I watched the anime and movie before checking out the manga (cuurently reading through the Reze arc) and I didn't get why people were bothered by the adaptation until I read it myself. Imho a lot of what makes the manga so great for me is pretty much always going to not work one to one as an anime adaptation; some moments are just made specifically for the medium and don't work animated as well as they do in the manga. The anime adds it's own charm to the series and got me checking out the manga in the first place so I'm alright with it. If the manga continues to be this good I can see this becoming my favourite shounen, honestly speaking.
yes but also >>283424082
>>283430486not sure why people are treating bomb devil arc like the second coming of christ now, it's really good sure but not one of the best arcs in the series. there's a reason the manga didn't really explode until international assassins
>>283424050What the fuck is going on with this top list? It's completely retarded.
>>283424050No, the movie is a cheap love story with a lot of explosions that would make Michael Bay proud
>>283424050 I wish I had Reze gf
>>283424082seethe harder?
>>283427934That's the thing, it wasn't a coming of age story. The MC ends up right back where he started. Fuck that show
>>283424050I just came back from reze movie and it made me fall in love with this girl despite not feeling much for her when reading manga. I can't think of any serious criticism for this one. It has everything you want from a good movie. I would love to hear what excuses haters can come up with to call justify calling it shitHearth break of a story, hype action, music that elevats the experiance, orgasmic sound design (especially any sound made before, during and after explosions) and the most mind blowing is the fact that it is pretty much one big 1.5hr long sakuga. Lastly - cinematography . God fucking damn. I loved s01 for its approach to the visual story telling but I gotta say, reze movie knocks it out of the park. It keeps its block buster feel from s01 but still managed to incorporate things that made manga great - apperantly you can have cake and eat it too. On top of that colors they used to set the mood for some of the scenes is pure kino - scene with red sky for example. And those crafty camera angles.. fuck. I feared csm would lose its serious side with new director which thankfully is no the caseSure, it is not the most original approach to romance but sometimes all you need is good execution
>>283432123It's because of Reze.Reze, especially with a competent seiyuu and well-animated, is far more compelling than literally anything else in the manga.It's a love story and it's more difficult to sell a love story in manga than it is in a film. Also, the film is just really well-made.
>>283432473I saw it yesterday.I won't call it shit because it wasn't. But it's about an 8/10 for me. My main criticisms were: * I didn't feel much in the way of tension or high stakes. There was some mild unease that was very unsubtlely alluded to by the metaphorical spider scenes. I'm not a manga reader, so I'll ask, does Reze or any of this story matter in the long run? I didn't get that feeling, though it was entertaining.* During the date stuff, Makima and Denji seemed like they were drawn a lot plainer than I remember the anime being?* The animation loses clarity towards the end of the typhoon shit. * Lack of nips was really distracting. Far more than if they had simply drawn them.* The typhoon devil's contracted serial killer guy seemed very anti climactic. I had been hoping he would have added some drama somewhere.
>>283434886>There was some mild unease that was very unsubtlely alluded to by the metaphorical spider scenesDenji is the spider.>does Reze or any of this story matter in the long run? no
>>283424050>>283424079>>283424345>>283427022One Piece WIT remake will take #1 one day.
>>283435010Hmm well that went past my head.
>>283435010>>Denji is the spiderHow so?>>does Reze or any of this story matter in the long run?How so?
>>283424050the movie was pretty good yeah
>>283435116The pool is where Reze genuinely falls in love with Denji.It's important to also notice the way the music is used, in the sea is a mirror of in the pool.The fight ends with Denji honestly and genuinely embracing Reze, with them drowing in the sea, using classic japanese couple's suicide imagery.But of course, death isn't the end for either of them.
>>283434886>During the date stuff, Makima and Denji seemed like they were drawn a lot plainer than I remember the anime being?The movie is just a bit more accurate to the character designs of the manga. They were fine in S1, which is one of the only positive things that can be said about it, but the movie put a lot more effort into emulating Fujimoto's designs rather than approximating them.>The typhoon devil's contracted serial killer guy seemed very anti climactic. I had been hoping he would have added some drama somewhere.Funkymotor loves shit like this. He introduces characters that seem like they may be a big deal, then kills them off promptly and unceremoniously. It's pretty typical of his work, though obviously not for everyone. I prefer it to fake-out deaths any day though.>does Reze or any of this story matter in the long run?Lolno, but most things in CSM don't. It's a vicious, repetitive cycle of Denji suffering and losing the things he loves, inhibiting his growth as a person and causing him to stagnate in his growing detachment. Again, not for everyone.
>>283430552>If the manga continues to be this good I can see this becoming my favourite shounen, honestly speaking.It will fit the first hundred or so chapters. Sorry about what comes after that, anon.
>>283434886nothing matters and it starts to get on my nerves thats why I consider part 1 as the end and I doubt we will see adaptation beyond since ending to p1 is very satisfying and p2 has never managed to reach same heights as what we had in p1 starting from reze arcPart 2 chapters take 5 seconds to read and it's very apparent that fujimoto no longer cares about this franchise with constant breaks and art quality taking a nose dive
>>283424050I have no idea what causes people to think S;G is a top 10 anime of all time. For me it's nowhere close to that.
>>283435197Fair enough. Following the manga designs more (lack of shading etc) made it categorically less nice to look at. Take inspiration and elevate, surely. Seems a bit of a cop out to me. I think if we could have spent more time on the aftermath, I might have liked it more? I don't mind if a protagonist gets ground down or has his growth inhibited or everything turns to complete miserable shit for them or whatever.. as long as the narrative makes it clear that whatever we have been shown has mattered or had some impact/effect in the world. I didn't get much sense of that, hence why I feel I can't give it a higher score.
>>283435847I think there's an element of everyone's viewing standards and expectations being vastly different 14 years ago. For its time I think it was great.
Saw the movie on Wednesday, I stopped following this series a couple of years ago and was kind of over it, but I haven't been to see a movie in a while so I figured why not. I quite liked it. I preferred the first part of the movie to the second part, the fight was mostly fine but some parts were one piece-tier; overanimated, hectic, epileptic seizure-inducing, bright flashy colors and lights, impossible to follow action, freeze frames, I think I even saw some flying cubes. Their romance was really cute, at what point do you guys think she genuinely fell in love with him? I think at the school. Agreed with >>283434886 about the nips, they should've just drawn them instead of beating around the bush. What a bummer of an ending, even though I already knew what was going to happen before I walked into the theater. She came back for him, they were perfect for each other man.I stopped following the manga cause I wasn't really enjoying part 2, they killed off or otherwise got rid of all the good characters and the plot became somewhat nonsensical to me. Anons who are up to date with the manga, has part 2 "paid off" yet? After watching the movie I sort of feel like reading it again, at a slower pace this time.
>>283424050It's weird how stuff with only hundreds of thousands of votes can be on the page as stuff with millions of votesFMA and Hunter should be the top 2 on this chart if you look at it objectively
>>283435865I don't think it's fair to criticize this movie for the lack of character growth since adaptation covers only like 13% of the storyBut on the other hand this is only arc that makes sense without context and it definetly elevated the manga beyond what I thought was possible, if you have read it instead watching it, you would probably like it less since source material did not manage to hit emotional notes like, at all - partly because it's almost impossible to make people care about relationship that had few pages of development in a fighting mangawhen I was on my csm high i would re-read arcs multiple times but beginning arcs and reze arc not even once
>>283435847S;G is overhyped for sure but I see enough surface level things that really appeal to most people that I'm not surprised it's rated high
>>283435865>Take inspiration and elevate, surely. Seems a bit of a cop out to me.The director of season 1 attempted to do exactly that in the most pretentious, self-important way imaginable. It was a bad adaptation. On the other hand I would argue that this film is an out and out elevation of the source material. >as long as the narrative makes it clear that whatever we have been shown has mattered or had some impact/effect in the world.It does, though it doesn't always do the best job of it, particularly in part 2. Part 1 on the other hand is excellent and will continue to ramp up and make excellent use of the groundwork laid by three events of this film and the material adapted in season 1. As a self-contained story, part 1 is undeniably exceptional. Part 2 starts strong but eventually begins to feel as though it's spinning its wheels and retreading old ground (especially in the current fight) for the sake of Denji's continued misery. It feels a lot more like suffering porn than what came before it because it doesn't feel as though it has the same level of substance as what came before it. It's still decent manga, but nowhere near the greatness of part 1.
>>283434886the events of this arc set up the next arc in the sense that reze manages to make denji's existence public knowledge.in the long term, reze also exists as a "curse" for denji as he comes to believe that no woman truly cares for him, they only care about chainsaw man, due to falsely believing that reze dumped him.this turns him into a trainwreck of a man in part 2 who can't get over his addiction to the violence and fame that comes along with being chainsaw man.
>>283424050unironically Reze is one of the best arcsalthough nothing ever beat /a/ threads in the last third of the darkness arc
>>283432473>I just came back from reze movie and it made me fall in love with this girl despite not feeling much for her when reading manga.Same. They made Reze endearing and playfully. Legitimately she causes you similar hesitancy of trying the forbidden fruit, that Denji had to face, making him not that stupid as you thought before. The animation was smooth, face expressions were precise and the soundtrack was great. This wasn't just another no brainer shonen anime movie, mostly thanks to good source material.
>>283436379It has time travel and cute waifus sure but I don't think it even does those things that well. I saw more personality from the girls in Oregairu.
>>283424050>that goodHow is your pic an indication when there isn't even anything good on that list? Except for the CSM movie now which I enjoyed
>>283435082>One Piece WIT remake will take #1 one dayThe only thing on the horizon with even a chance is Frieren S2
>>283436575A one piece special that's not canon broken into the top 10. It 100% will be number 1 when it covers Marineford. I know how hype and mal operates.
>>283436468The thing they really managed to sell is the tragedy of Reze falling for Denji. You really feel that she's dead serious when she says she's gonna run away with Denji. She really was gonna run away with him, had he just agreed.
>>283436572LotGH and HxH are also good. The rest is kind of shit
>>283424082what's wrong with MAL?
>>283424204Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
>>283424050Imagine if they had just used this team from the beginning instead of that pretentious hipster guy. Was placing him in charge their single most costly decision, as a company?
>>283424082Honestly, its better than here now
>>283436498You're right but I'm just saying I get why it's popular.
/a/ is healing
>>283436728It's not and it never was.
>>283436728why don't you go there and stay there, retard
>>283435577>nothing mattersAnon, stop being retarded because even if you dislike Part 2 a lot of things do fucking matter.
>>283436780>>283436823Zoomers made this board unusable.
>>283436728MAL is only a better community if you are specifically a Brotherhood/Steins;Gate shitter. I know it's not better than /a/ because I've actually been there. I swear this place even had better SnK discussion despite people shitting on the writing.
>>283424050One Piece is confirmed a GOAT anime, you heard it from the ranking authority.
>>283436622>It 100% will be number 1 when it covers Marineford.maybe when they get to it in 15 years
>>283424050It was a nice movie unironically.
>>283436862then leave, nobody is forcing you to use this websitejust get out, you have your alternative, have fun using MAL.
>>283435847There arent a lot better than it, even if you dont like it
>>283430339Thank goodness it was only the season 1 material that had to suffer the slop adaptation.
>>283436156Part 2 didnt pay yet anon, but there is hope yet
>>283424050But not as good as Frieren ;).
>>283437075That's a lot of hurt.
>>283436170Number of voters means popularity. Mal has an obvious problem with popular animes getting better ratings there is no need to worsen it>>283436229
>>283437148just let it go
>>283437172Dont hold it back anymore
>>283437172>>283437186just kiss already
>>283429758Kino no tabi 2003
>>283436862There's better discussion even in this thread about the CSM movie than you would get on MAL. The top list getting shit on is inconsequential and somewhat deserved anyways, at least for the top 5.
>>283436498S;G's waifus are the most bland and boring archetypes imaginable. I've seen a couple harems with better characters than that.
>>283424345>Ergo ProxyBAAHAHAHAHAH I bet you think radiohead is the greatest band of all time.Thank god I can filter retarded pseuds with this existence of this garbage show for 15yo edgelords.
>>283424050All shit
>>283437083Summertime Rendering is better
>>283424345>shit flappersA show about nothing that really felt the writer and director change
>>283424050Yes and faggots who think otherwise can die mad in this dead dying board. Anime is breaking box office records and /a/ is the slowest it has ever been. The entire 4chan staff team should be publicly hanged.
>>283440309It's amazing how incompetent the mods are on this website.
>>283435847It was mid time travel slop but still better than One Piece. That one is the real head scratcher.
>>283424050The movie was really good, yes.
>>283424345>Sonny Boybaste
>>283424050The state of modern anime...
>>283424204Angel's egg is a nonsensical animation wank OVA. There are hundred of those out there, I don't know why retards decided to latch on to that one
>>283424050Do I have shit taste for thinking that Frieren and CSM is a far better top 2 than FMAB and SG?
>>283440906No but it's not a high bar.
>>283424050Watch it and find out
>>283424050Better than Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Definitely.
>>283440906Nah those two aren't that good anyways.
>>283424050>Shitgeki>Shit;GateWhy do people listen to this website's opinions
>>283425599The movie has been making a lot of money btw, in case you think that was a good cope.
>>283424050>>283424146Not that good. There are scenes where can't tell what's going on. Additionally, nobody working at pirating it properly. Just cam rips. >>283424842>>283424082Correct. I think Sousou no Frieren is decent but not #1 good.
>>283442843The manga is like that too. CSM is all about IMPACT, not flashy choreography. It's supposed to look messy while being striking at the same time.
>>283427022Trvke
>>283436679>what's wrong with MAL?Steins;Gate 9.07 rating
>>283443137I'm currently at chapter 80 and just wanted to say this to someone that might get it: Wtf am I reading? Like wtf? Everything past the Reze arc has only gotten weirder and weirder. I go from hating the direction of the story to actually loving it within a chapter or two several times over. Is this intentional? I thught the weird part was coming much later; wtf is even hapening?
>>283424050you can't trust online popularity polls anymore
>>283443838This, but also MAL has had shit taste since at least 2010-2011
>>283442843>Additionally, nobody working at pirating it properly. Just cam rips.You're unbelievably spoiled.
>>283443798It is very much intentional. Fujimoto has a fame of being a "weirdo" mangaka and it's part of his appeal. In his short story books he also says the most common complain he gets from his editors is that he can't seem to make a story flow properly, that he uses 20 pages to tell something he could've said in half of them.
>>283424050Gintama and CSM are unironically the only good things on that list.
>>283444224I'm finished with the first part and I've just decided to stop trying to predict any of this anymore. If this was the coherent part and that the part people felt was directionless or whatever only comes now I already I won't get any of this lol. I will have to think things through to get a grip on how I feel about all of this. I can certainly say I can't remember ever having felt a series is both a 10/10 and a -10/10 at the same time.
>>283445226Or, rather deciding to not think about it until I've read a bit further and had the time to revisit everything I just read another time.
>>283440906No, actually I agree with you. But then I never got the appeal of s;g's main character.
>>283445492He's just le meme reddit man otaku with a dose of extra insufferable. I don't like him much either.
>>283424050LotGH is the best thing there
>>283424050This list is fucked up.
>>283424082Yeah I don't know why people put stock in it, its literally nothing but teenagers rating shit on that site.
>>283424050I like CSM but it's lesser for being listed alongside all of that other junk.
>>283436679/a/ is the anime and manga board, not the "talk about normalfags" boardIf you want to talk about MAL then go do it on MAL
>>283424050Well it made a lot of money, so...
>actually believing that MAL ratings have value
Learn to sage, retards
>>283424050MAL told me that Steins;Gate is the greatest anime of all time
>>283447147They are retarded.
I can see like /pol/ that this board has fallen to the zoomer disease of blandness. Animesuki forums still remain superior it seems.
>>283447242There isn't much that's more bland than that MAL top 10.
>>283434886>does Reze or any of this story matter in the long run?It kinda sets up the theme that had been lurking under the surface up to this point in the story. The whole "country mouse and the city mouse" thing.
>>283444113I remember group buys of VHS and DVDs.The media comes in a hard drive these days protected by a cryptographic key. Also, there is lost media that must be recovered... the work is never done...>>283445226It would be interesting for you to jot down your thoughts on Part 2 should you get there (both the aesthetic and story). There are lots of theories on why Part 2 is the way it is.
>>283424050Letterboxd ratings>FMAB - 4.7>Frieren - 4.6>Steins Gate - 4.4>CSM Reze - 4.4>Gintama - 3.3
>>283448509Letterboxd is even less worthy of respect than MAL
>>283424050Why is Legend of the Galactic Heroes rated so highly by normies? It was just so fucking boring I couldn't watch more than 10 episodes
>>283440906Yes, FMAB is much more deserving of a top 2 spot than Frieren.
>>283424345larping elitist
I just saw it bros. It was Kino, animation was Godly but it had a few retarded bits that made me cringe. You gotta see it in theatres if you can.
>>283448509Letterboxd and Goodreads unironically have lower quality reviews than MAL
>>283450377Because they're supposed to rate it high.
>>283450377It's the most based anime ever made if you find it boring that's your problem
>>283450377It's deep and mature politics
>>283424345>GITS 2You actually think GITS 2 is good
>>283451027It's a philosophical work, which most people wouldn't get
>>283428502You are a retarded loser who would be better off dieing than wasting the air the rest of us breathe and the space the rest of us need.
>>283451043That doesn't make it good.
>>283451499>if you ignore what makes it good, it's not good
>>283448509Letterbox is well known for being total shit, they dont even know how to rate their american movies. Is way worse than mal
>>283450377Normies dont even have the patience to watch it
>>283424050These are all shit
Yes. It deserves its place right under the greatest anime of all time, Sousou no Frieren.
>>283424050>Fullmetal slop>Steins slopWho cares about this list.
>>283424050All you do is complain about this. If any of you were to name their own "superior" top 10, you would get shitted on by everyone else in the thread.
>>283454822I don't care, the list is still fucking shit. Ironically the chainsawman movie is actually better than most of the trash directly below it, that's how bad this toplist is.
>>283454822I don't complain about top lists that often but One Piece and Steins;Gate are slop.
>>283453633>the greatest anime of all time, Sousou no Frieren.this guy cucks
>>283450697The arc has too little of Makima in it, but the animation was great.

>>283460692The anime is honestly a disaster, it's insane people don't treat it like the shitty VN adaptation it is.Stein's;Gate is incredible. It's an amazing VN and a beautiful period piece about an Akihabara that doesn't exist anymore. But the anime doesn't really capture any of the things that make it good. It also doesn't include any of the other endings, most importantly Suzuha's and Faris'.The reason people dislike 0 is also that it is a VN adaptation, but the problems with it are more obvious, because it's far less linear than S;G.

>>283432473I only liked Reze because it reminded me of my ex. I don't think I would have been as attached if I weren't able to put myself in the shoes of Denji from what similar things I've experienced.
>>283462577>what similar things I've experiencedjesus christ anon, get better taste in women
>>283462603I attract women who are avoidant and dominant, so it's bound to happen. Never lose your first love to a girl with OCPD, bros
>>283424050CSM will wank their shit series until the heat death of the universe. It was never good and never will be, the movie is just the studio jangling keys in front of the retard fans to try and milk them one last time before moving on to something else.
>>283462682>milk them one last time before moving onThe movie made $100M in profit. Why would they move on? You sound bitter.
>>283462729Why would I be bitter over a flop? KNY made six times that in a shorter time frame. CSM is dead, it's time for you retards to give it up and stop coping.
>>283462816>$4M budget>~$108M in revenueCope!
>>283424050not anymore
>>283448509>LetterboxdGarbage site controlled by subhumans. The video game counterpart to that shit allows users to mark a video game as completed because he "watched" it. If you think MAL is bad, it could be worse.Then there is IMbD, nowadays flooded by Indians and bots.
>>283462816KnY has a much wider appeal though with it being so family friendly and not being so weird for a shounen. CSM being as big as it is already exceeding my expectations.
>>283462866>>283464045>CSMtards in full cope mode because the series is flopping againYeah I'd be pretty mindbroken too if the series I was memed into failed so horribly.
