If Chainsaw Man had gotten a better adaptation,
would it have blown past everything — OP, Solo Leveling, KnY, JJK — and just straight-up dominated global anime popularity by now?

No

>better
I was under the impression that it had an extremely good chance at everything, but still failed. Probably bait?

>>280820132 (OP)
Needed more than a single cour to get people into part 1.
Lost steam.
Maybe Reze reignites a little.

Chainsaw Man isn't the kind of storytelling that makes #1 overall popularity. Within the niche yes, but in general it's too much shock/crazy/murder factor.

You basically asked if Star Trek TNG would have been called the best TV show of the 1980s and again the answer is no, for the same reason.

Lol, lmao, I would even dare to utter a lmfao

CSM got one of the best anime studios, best animations, highest budget, and this is the result.

Blame the mappa CEO who chose a fag for a director

The response to the reze movie will determine the fate of mappa's chainsaw man.

Should have been Studio Science Saru

Chainsaw Man ACK-ed itself halfway through the manga, so even if the anime was good it wouldn't have salvaged it.

In the end it's better that the adaptation was so poorly handled because otherwise more people would've been exposed to the dogshit manga.

CSM doesn't get super "hype" until the darkness devil, at which point it literally becomes non stop hype and cool moments until the end of part 1. 1 cour only was a mistake even though the adaptation was great

As for the Reze arc, the trailer views on YouTube aren’t exactly growing fast kinda worrying, to be honest.

If part 1 ends up getting a full adaptation, it will probably be remembered better than it actually is now...in 5-10 years, or whatever the timeline works out to be.
No comment on part 2.

I miss her

I actually think they ended S1 at the worst possible spot. Katana Man and Infinity Devil are fun, but it really amps up Reze going into International Assassin arc. So we've been waiting for 3 years for the actual meat of the story and cool moments to kick in.

A good anime adaptation can’t save part 2 from being shit

>>280820132 (OP)
>OP
Lol no
>Solo Leveling
Maybe but that is a low bar
>KnY
Lol no
>JJK
Already forgotten so maybe
>and just straight-up dominated global anime popularity by now?
No

CSM had insane global hype three years ago — it was bigger than KnY, JJK, and Solo Leveling at the time.
If the anime hadn’t dropped the ball, it might’ve even overtaken OP.
It was, that big.

>>280820132 (OP)
>that Solo Flopping sneak

>>280820132 (OP)
No

>>280820132 (OP)
I kinda hated the main charchter being a simp. But sometimes you gotta enjoy it for what it is instead of what you want it to be

>>280820132 (OP)
no, the manga is mid

Fippybippy.
CSM is and has always been shit.
