The damage Nakayama has done to the CSM anime is irreversible. Chainsaw Man should have never even been a 12-episode anime in the first place. It should have been a single 28-episode season like Frieren that adapts the entirety of Part 1.

CSM is a short, plot-heavy manga; a story like that is not supposed to be consumed over multiple years with only a little anime content here and there. Season 1 being poorly adapted only made things worse. Mappa fundamentally misunderstood Chainsaw Man and how to handle this franchise.
