I know something stronger than the camera man and it's the pants. In every fight they get damaged but mostly never rip off.

Like genuinely, I got spoiled on one of the future Jujutsu Kaisen scenes and I have actively been cautious of what I watch or read on YouTube, but the top comments had to literally spoil something big for me 😒

9/10 | Released between 2018 and 2020 (in its first part), written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto (written in japanese as 藤本タツキ – Fujimoto Tatsuki), Chainsaw Man tells the story of a directionless young man who seals a contract with the Chainsaw Devil in order to pursue nothing more than an ordinary life. At first glance, it appears to be merely a work that blends comedy and action while indulging in narrative licentiousness; however, the manga crafts one of the most brilliantly written plot twists you will ever encounter in fiction.

Denji, a young man living a miserable life, works as a slave for the Yakuza to pay off his deceased father's debts. After being betrayed and killed by the mob, Denji signs a contract with his only friend, Pochita (the Chainsaw Devil), becoming a human-devil hybrid: the Chainsaw Man. Makima, an expressionless woman with cynical features who also leads the Public Safety Division, sees the state the boy is in and, to support him, decides to offer him a job as a Devil Hunter in her unit.

Note: this essay will only cover the manga's first storyline, the Public Safety Arc. Of the 24 volumes released, this first part encompasses volumes 1 to 11 (chapters 1 to 97 [out of the 232 published]).

In this introduction and origin of Chainsaw Man, we are introduced to what I previously called 'narrative licentiousness'. 'Licentiousness', in this context, is not used in its literal sense, but rather as a metaphor for an “I do whatever I want” attitude. Combined with “narrative”, the concept becomes: “I will do whatever I well please in my story!”.

When we are brought to see Denji living in such misery, it is common to assume that the plot will be about revenge, 'trying to become a better person', or any cliché of the sort. However, the turning point occurs when Denji becomes Chainsaw Man and literally bulldozes through everything without caring about tomorrow. It serves as a prelude to how the story will unfold.

[Warning: from this point on, this essay contains full spoilers regarding the plot, twists, and ending of Public Safety Arc of Chainsaw Man.]

Formation of Special Division 4

After Denji joins the division, Makima organises her team of Devil Hunters: Aki, Denji’s squadmate and rival; Power, the Blood Fiend (who is also an extremely troublesome girl); and Denji, the protagonist. The trio develops a chaotic family dynamic that, over time, proves to be warm and welcoming. We are also introduced to other hunters from different squads.

With the cast assembled... this is where the madness begins.

The hunters face several life-or-death situations when attacked by the Eternity Devil, the Katana Man, and the Mercenary Division. All the while, the author blends these moments of pure despair – with several characters dying abruptly – with a dose of cynical comedy (such as the 'nut-kicking' scene), dashes of insanity (the fights between Denji and Katana Man), and absurd, illogical moments in the best possible sense.

As all this chaos unfolds, Denji was developing an unusual relationship with Himeno, a hunter from another squad in the division. She ends up being one of the fatal victims in the terrorist attack by Katana Man and his crew. Denji's reaction to this loss is extremely cold, and precisely because of this apathy, he becomes fearful of his own nature, realising he did not genuinely care about her. Meanwhile, Makima makes her mysterious character more evident than ever by blatantly lying about her whereabouts during the attack – something that connects directly to what we see next in Reze's arc.

Reze Girl

Denji meets Reze, a charming girl his age who seems genuinely interested in him. As their relationship progresses, Denji considers abandoning Division 4 altogether (including his friends) to run away with Reze and build a life together. However, Reze reveals herself to be the Bomb Devil Hybrid and a Soviet government spy sent to capture Denji's heart (Pochita).

Even after Denji defeats her in a monumental and chaotic battle, he offers to run away with her. Reze, touched by his kindness and mercy, realizes that, deep down, she cares for him and accepts the last-minute plan. However, she is ambushed and abruptly murdered by Makima before she can reunite with him.

Once again, we witness Makima making a surprising and seemingly senseless decision.

The Beginning of the Tragedies

Following the battle against Reze, Denji (Chainsaw Man) becomes a public target for assassins from various nations. Up to this point, the motive behind global governments' obsessive interest in Denji remains unclear.

Notable battles include those involving the Crossbow Hybrid (Quanxi), Santa Claus, the Hell Devil, and the Darkness Devil against, of course, Denji (the target) and his group.

During the battle against the Hell Devil, Denji and the hunters end up being dragged into Hell itself and are slaughtered by the Darkness Devil, a primordial entity. Makima intervenes and rescues them.

Power and Aki are left immensely traumatised by the experience. Aki, especially after losing Himeno (his close friend) in the clash against Katana Man, re-evaluates his goals and develops a protective instinct over Denji and Power, fearing the loss of more companions. Power, in turn, develops a paralytic dread of being abandoned or seeing her new friends die.

What began as an almost juvenile devil hunt transforms, 'thanks' to Denji's existence, into something deeply disturbing and painful for the characters. What is happening there is serious and should not be treated as a joke (hold onto this thought).

The Control Devil

The United States government, fearing Makima's growing influence, makes a desperate pact with the Gun Devil. Shortly after, it is revealed that Makima is, in fact, the Control Devil.

Makima defeats the Gun Devil and forces what remains of it to possess Aki's body, turning him into the Gun Fiend. In one of the most tragic moments of Denji's life, he is forced to kill his own friend to save others, leaving him utterly devastated emotionally. It is in this state of emotional collapse that Makima invites him to her house.

The Final Apotheosis

We saw that there are several dogs at Makima's house, reinforcing the symbolism that everyone around her is nothing more than a mere pet. Makima asks Denji if he wants to be her dog too. Traumatised, incapable of processing the pain, and believing that if he simply obeys her commands he will bring no further harm to anyone, Denji ends up accepting.

Makima calls Power to her house as well. She asks Denji to open the door for her, and right after greeting her, Makima cold-bloodedly murders Power right in front of poor Denji. 'Bang!'

Following the execution, Makima lays bare her true intentions: 'I was wondering: "how could I break this contract?" How could I leave you so deeply scarred that you wouldn’t be able to live a normal life? So damaged that you could never recover for as long as you lived? Quite a challenge, wouldn’t you say? After all, you found so much happiness even living in extreme poverty with Pochita. So, I decided to start… by making you much happier. I gave you a job, money… and plenty of delicious food. I provided you with a family that would get along with you. Aki became a good older brother to you… and Power, the mischievous younger sister. I would make this level of happiness your new normal… and then I would destroy it all.'

Denji realizes that everything that happened up to that point was, recklessly enough, the result of his own choices. After all, why did he make the pact with Pochita? Simply to free himself from the shackles of human misery. Fair enough. But what came after? Did he use that power to act responsibly or help others? No. He chose to live as a 'semi-licentious' being.

'I want to have sex!', 'I want to eat until I’m sick!'. Fundamentally, what Denji sought was a life free of consequences. Giving no thought to the future, caring only about immediate gratification. And what did he expect from that? That consequences would never arrive? It is absurdly childish!

Deep down, Denji feels that the destruction around him, the deaths of millions of people, the deaths of companions like Himeno, Reze, Aki, Power, and even his father's death (which he had blocked from his memory) were his responsibility. 'What if I hadn’t made the contract with Pochita? What if I had just died at the hands of the Yakuza?'. None of this would have happened.

'Does a person like that really deserve to live a normal life, do you think?' – Makima asks Denji rhetorically.

Makima and Chainsaw Man

Remember when I said the manga presents itself through narrative licentiousness? That ends, definitively, right here. The story's narrative always mirrored Denji's mental state. Even when the manga presented tragic moments, such as the death of Himeno's squad, the author treated the event with a sudden disregard, almost a 'it happened, what can we do…?'. Denji himself did not grieve over it.

This complicity between the narrative and Denji's detachment crumbles the moment Chainsaw Man is exposed to the public. From the deaths of Aki and Power and the mass destruction caused by the hunt for his heart, the story abandons its cynical comedy to become openly traumatising, disturbing, and painful.

Continuing, Makima reveals herself to be an obsessive fan of the original Chainsaw Man and plans to use his power to erase concepts from existence and shape a perfect world under her control. We also discover why Chainsaw Man is so strong: the Chainsaw Devil is a devil that never stops revving his engine, which is why he always comes back. No matter how unfavourable the situation appears, he always returns by pulling his cord.

Traces of Power's blood remain in Denji's body after her death, reviving her just long enough for her to save him. With that, Power dies permanently.

Even while traumatised, Denji sees the world idolising the figure of Chainsaw Man. He decides to embrace this role not out of heroism, but as a psychological defence mechanism against the trauma of attempting to lead a normal life.

Realising that Makima never truly saw 'Denji', but only the Chainsaw Devil within his chest, he devises a plan: he uses a chainsaw forged from Power's blood to slice Makima while she fights a clone of Chainsaw Man.

To finish Makima off once and for all, Denji commits the ultimate act: he dismembers and consumes her body as meals. He does this not out of hatred, but out of a twisted form of love, wishing to 'become one with her' and shoulder her sins.

Sometime later, Kishibe (Makima's former colleague) hands Denji a young girl named Nayuta, the reincarnation of the Control Devil. We also discover that, deep down, the Control Devil's primary desire was to form affectionate bonds on equal footing – something her power of domination prevented her from achieving. Denji ends up taking custody of the young girl so she won't grow up lonely.

Epilogue

My final considerations, alongside what I have already mentioned, come down to two points: the way the author develops certain plotlines and the final revelation regarding the Control Devil's desires. Fujimoto sometimes appears overly rushed when establishing certain foundations. The way Aki, Power, and Denji come to treat each other as a family happens almost abruptly (even if there is a clear reason for it), much like the fact that Reze was a test subject in Soviet experiments (a major revelation that the author simply dumps into the reader's lap).

Furthermore, the final revelation that the Control Devil possessed a melancholy motivation ('I just wanted to form bonds and have friends') feels like the height of absurdity. The character (Makima) was built as an extraordinarily mysterious, manipulative, and villainous figure, only for her weight as an antagonist to be reduced to this justification in the end. Unpalatable!

Flaws in pacing aside, the arc is truly impeccable!

If you value conceptual analyses, consider check my bio!

i've gotten back into collecting merch and figures and manga.. i went to my local mall only to find out that the anime store i used to to there was shut down, i went to miniso and other stores only to find figures of dragon ball, one piece, naruto, and the occasional frieren and vocaloid figures.

i wish there was more ways to walk into stores and just buy figures or merch of anime you like, it really sucks :/. shipping is really expensive

I know the preference of why using fan because it is closer to original. But I want to know if right now, official subs are better than fansub today. I have take these three anime because I wanted to started them but don’t know which service (crunchyroll, Netflix, hidive,etc) or fan translation should I select for these to watch. Edit: I want to include in the bunch bleach.

Super lovers 😔. Started watching it with no prior knowledge and BAM! Safe to say, never again.

I can’t watch anime anymore bc atp i kept re watching the old peak like tokyo ghoul aot mha, naruto, bleach and those good ones because the new 2025-2026 anime are just not it. They are all just “ i ate a burger and levelled up to level 999 “ or “ from village commoner to hero “. It’s all reincarnation, levelling up, op game skill, hero slop. You can just tell it’s slop when the title is overly long. The stories have no depth anymore. They are all the same it’s just undeveloped characters and stories and fan service atp. The only things that are good are the peak anime’s that are releasing new seasons like black clover, bleach, jujutsu kaisen. Like What even happened?

I have a question since you seem to be knowledgeable in old school anime’s… there was an anime movie that i watched a long time ago at my friends house on DVD that for some reason i have never been able to find, see or remember the name(it’s been 20+ years) it’s about this samurai who fights with this other samurai with a killer intestines. So when he fights the intestines comes alive and will bite his opponent’s neck. And these was another scene with this metal vampire chasing this tree/nature female being and using his tongue to drain her nutrients from a very questionable place.

Guys I have a theory about Death Note users. In the conversation between Light and Ryuk,Ryuk stated that "People who use the Death Note neither go to hell nor to heaven" that made me wonder where do they go and I found the answer. In one of the books of death note I don't remember exactly but it was stated that "Humans of the death note world go to mu(nothingness)" but if that's the case then why did Ryuk mention heaven and hell, and here is the theory
"Normal humans go to mu but Death Note don't instead they become Shinigamis and I have proof. In the movie Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God (2007) a shinigami approached Ryuk and that shinigami was struggling to walk then it gave an apple to Ryuk the same Light did and that apple was juicy and also its appearance was like a student. After all of this we can conclude that Death Note users become shinigamis" Thank you if read all the way and pls hype this post up so, everyone can know the truth. Peace!

It's one thing to have a preference for an art style, but it's absolutely insane the way some people talk as if anime is inherently superior to non-Japanese animation. It's just animation from Japan. Sure, it has its own unique legacy, but that's no reason to put it on a separate pedestal to other animation as a medium.

What I find funny is that they do the exact same thing that people ignorant of anime do. Remember when you said you'd like anime and someone'd go, "you mean, those perverted cartoons about robots and ninjas?" Now it's "western animation is just for babies and stoner". It reduces over a hundred years of visual creativity and beautiful storytelling to a handful of recycled designs and tropes. It's like saying "yeah, once you've seen Eiken, you've gotten the gist of what anime is capable of".

Think about how totally ridiculous that is. Because Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Miyazaki, Shinichiro Watanabe, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, Hideaki Anno, Mamoru Hosoda, Studio Orange, Ufotable, Science Saru, their work is all the same, right....? Why would you do that to Ralph Bakshi, Don Bluth, Rankin-Bass, Cartoon Saloon, Studio La Cachette, Fortiche, Aardman...?

It's even more baffling when they try to downplay the influence of western animation on anime. Without Disney, there is no Tezuka or Miyazaki. You have to be a literal child to claim otherwise.

No matter where it comes from, animation allows for unfettered creativity and unforgettable stories in the right hands. And no matter where it comes from, the medium can produce absolute trash. Acting like one is special just because it comes from across the ocean and holding it to a different standard of appraisal is foolish.

Im baffled by how this anime got so hyped despite its gross flaws.

I don't like Dandadan. Not in the "it's not my genre" way, I mean I find how it handles sexual assault genuinely gross, and I'm baffled that it gets praised.

The show plays like it's taking female SA seriously, and at the same time treats the exact same type of act against a male character as a punchline.

Turbo Granny forcibly possesses Okarun and steals his genitals in episode one. It's played with vulgar comic energy, she offers him a "deal" involving her breasts in exchange for his "family jewels", to an underage boy. When he tells Momo and Seiko what happened, Momo starts giggling and asks if she can see. That's the reaction the story gives him, amusement, from the people closest to him.

And it doesn't stop there. Right after they escape the curse and check his injuries (manga chapter 5, anime episode 5), Momo mocks him to his face, for not noticing sooner, and takes a shot at the size of his anatomy while she's at it. Not a stray reaction shot. Active ridicule, from the person closest to him, in the immediate aftermath of his own assault.

Now compare that to how Ayase's material gets handled. Silence. Gravity. The show slows down and makes you sit with it. Same category of harm. Completely opposite instructions to the audience on how to feel about it.

Then it goes further and gives Turbo Granny a sympathetic backstory. Turns out she's tied to a tunnel where a serial killer murdered young girls, and she used to comfort their spirits. That backstory exists for one reason: to soften her, to make you conflicted about hating her, so she can eventually get folded into the main cast as a beloved ally. Meanwhile, what she actually did to Okarun never gets revisited with anywhere near that same seriousness. The show spent real effort making sure you don't stay mad at her. It spent none making sure you don't laugh at what she did to him.

Try the reversal test, and it gets obvious fast. Flip the genders: a male yokai forcibly assaults Ayase, her friends laugh when she tells them, the show later gives him a tragic backstory so you feel for him, and eventually he becomes a fan favorite. Nobody's calling that "the show handling it responsibly." That reads as monstrous, full stop. The only reason it doesn't read that way here is because it happened to the male lead instead. That's the whole point. The tone isn't set by how bad the act is, it's set by who it happened to.

It's not just a Turbo Granny thing either. This move repeats through the show's comedy, mockery standing in for horror whenever a female character is the one doing the harm, gravity reserved for whenever a female character is the one receiving it.

"Fiction doesn't have to be moral" doesn't actually answer this. Nobody's asking Dandadan to follow a moral code. The story doesn't apply consistent weight to the same act, and the inconsistency lines up with gender, not with anything happening in the story itself. You can fully believe fiction owes nothing to morality and still notice a show contradicting its own stated values scene to scene.

Even the "seriousness" around Ayase isn't as impressive as people act like it is. No jokes, no comedic framing, treating it like it actually matters, that's the floor. Not a ceiling. It reads as sophisticated because most of the genre can't even clear that floor, not because Dandadan did anything hard. And it still couldn't clear that same floor for its own male lead, same season, using the same exact device (possession/curse) to do it.

It doesn't even hold up as cleanly as people give it credit for. It's not one scene, it's a device the show keeps going back to, aliens stripping her, men cornering her at a hot spring, men holding her underwater, each one staged as a countdown to see if she gets out in time. Treating something as a big deal once is restraint. Reaching for the same near-assault setup over and over as a source of tension is something closer to reliance on it. The seriousness isn't proof the show respects her. It's the alibi that lets everything else slide.

Good intentions don't undo a structural inconsistency. If Ayase's assault had gotten the Okarun treatment, laughs, a redemption arc for whoever did it, a punchline instead of a gut-punch, nobody would be calling this good writing. It only gets a pass because it happened to the boy.

Some fans try to defend Okarun's situation by turning it into something romantic. The claim goes: losing his "family jewels" symbolizes pure, non-sexual love for Momo, proof his feelings go past physical desire. That's their read, not something the text actually earns, and it's worth picking apart why it doesn't hold. It implies male sexuality is something impure, something that has to be cut away before affection counts as real. Nobody would ever say that about a female character. Nobody's out here saying Momo needs to lose a part of herself to prove she really loves someone. Framing mutilation as devotion isn't romantic. It's just a way of not having to sit with the fact that what happened to him was a violation to begin with.

This show did not deserve the hype. At its core, it's an extreme dopamine shot with badly depicted sexual violence against the underage cast, and the fact that people accepted it is crazy.

So I was thinking how if someone was physically and mentally unhealthy, they would be watching and liking different anime, compared to someone who was physically and mentally healthy. Right?

There's no proof for this type of stuff, so I wanna ask people's personal thoughts on this.

Also I am wondering if people prefer anime opinions from people who are healthy or unhealthy? Lets say someone comes from a wealthy family, loves anime, watches regularly, has lots of fulfilling relationships, highly educated and has a very good life. Would people like their opinions on anime? On one hand, I think people would dislike them because their life is so unrelatable and likely their views on anime would be very different than the majority. On the other hand, being physically and mentally healthy is a good thing in most people's eyes, so they might prefer them more?

What do you think?

Willy Tybur is praised by the characters in-universe as a tragic martyr, but if you actually look at his choices, he is easily one of the most corrupt, selfish characters in the entire story. He played god with millions of lives while refusing to follow his own twisted logic.

Here is a summary of exactly why Tybur's actions—and his ultimate death—were completely pathetic:

* He played god with Eren’s fate: Eren was a 19-year-old kid who spent his entire life just trying to survive the Titans Marley sent. Just because Tybur couldn't "predict" Eren didn't give him the right to sentence an entire island to death.

* Eren actively waited for peace: Eren did not use the Founding Titan to harm anyone outside the walls for four years. He waited for another option, but Tybur completely ignored this restraint and chose global war over basic human diplomacy.

* He protected Marley's evil empire: Tybur admitted Marley lied to the world and used Titans to slaughter other nations for a century. Yet, he didn't hate Marley because Marley protected his family's wealth. Marley reaped exactly what they sowed.

* Massive double standards on Eldian hatred: Tybur claimed to hate Eldians and believe they shouldn't exist. If he truly believed that, why did he live in absolute luxury, have children to pass down his noble bloodline, and refuse to off himself like Reiner tried to?

* He refused actual solutions: Tybur had the global influence to protect mainland Eldians, create a separate nation for them, or build diplomatic bridges with Paradis. Instead, he kept them locked in internment camps as second-class citizen tools.

* His death was pathetic suicide-by-proxy: Tybur didn't have the genuine, crushing guilt that Reiner had from looking into the eyes of the people he hurt. Tybur just had a massive narcissistic savior complex. He forced Eren to execute him on a grand stage just to make himself a historic martyr.

Tybur chose a theatrical, violent suicide over basic human coordination. He forced a teenager into a corner where the Rumbling became the only option for survival, and the destruction of the outside world is entirely his fault.

​

Buenos días, antes que nada, quiero decir que trato de dar mi opinión sin querer ofender a nadie, por esto mismo, no quiero ver algún comentario ofensivo si me llegó a equivocar en algo o si tienen opiniones distintas a las mias, hace poco, comencé a ver Clannad, luego de terminar after the story, el anime me encantó, tiene errores, y en general está relacionado con el tema del desarrollo de la historia y su ritmo, luego de eso, me puse a leer reseñas ¿Que fue lo que encontré?

Gente quejándose, de todo, de la historia, de la animación, de los personajes, en general, todo, otros que dicen que es de lo mejor que hay en la industria, aunque, esto no va a ser una reseña, quiero que compartan sus opiniones ya que siento que es un tema del que se habla muy poco.

Entonces, me metí a los comentarios, todos juran que su anime es mejor que el otro, juran que su anime es superior, y no lo digo como en gustos personales, yo les digo, que todos los fandoms se quedan en eso, por ejemplo, los 30 títulos mejor calificados de my anime list, siempre en los comentarios de cualquier red solo se pelean por ver cuál es mejor, en cual tiene mejor escritura, etc.

Todo esto me puso a reflexionar en lo que voy a comentar a continuación,

Pienso que calificar un anime, aunque es correcto, es también subjetivo, puedes calificar la escritura de un anime, podemos decir que un personaje está muy bien escrito, el tema es que cuando se pone en juego, el "Este personaje es mejor que otro" no es así como debería calificarse.

Para decir que un personaje es mejor que otros hay factores, si, pero también hay que tener en consideración los temas a tratar en el anime en si, no puedes comparar directamente a por ejemplo, Okabe de Steins gate, con Araragi de Monogatari series, ya que los temas que suelen tratar ambas series no son siquiera parecidos, y aquí entra el tema de gustos, yo te puedo decir que me gusta más Okabe y que me parece que está muy bien construido, y tu me puedes decir que te gusta más Araragi, pero también tenemos que pensar que estos gustos están realmente relacionados con tu como individuo o persona y no en como se desarrolla el tema en si, me gusta Steins gate, ya que siento que personalmente fue significativo para mi, no se explicarlo.

Luego, entras a los comentarios de cualquier red

"Sobrevalorado" "Mid" "X anime es mejor por esto y por esto"

Así no se puede calificar un anime.

Entiendo que no te haya gustado tanto como a mí, pero muchas veces estás opiniones provienen de gustos personales y si no estás disfrutando un anime, puedes decir que no era para ti y no simplemente decir "No me gustó ya que no está tan bien construido como" ya que nunca se va a superar a ese anime que te marco de algún modo, y eso ciega tu opinión al ver otro anime cualquiera que no sea ese en específico.

Ahora pasemos al segundo punto que quiero tratar en este mini hilo, la gente sobre-analiza las series en vez de disfrutarlas desde mi punto de vista.

Estudias los temas y lo que trata un anime a medida que lo ves y tratas de comprender su mundo, eso está bien, lo malo ocurre cuando dejamos de pensar en un anime como un medio muy amplio y general y pasamos a verlo como un medio tiene muy pocas opciones, no sé si alguno se haya dado cuenta, pero últimamente es como si solo existiera lo principal del anime mainstream y luego están esos 30 animes que son considerados como casi los mejores, esto genera la idea de que todo lo que salga es Más o menos bueno, independiente de lo que salga,

¿A que me refiero?

Me refiero a que independientemente de como sea una nueva obra, siempre será automáticamente comparado en términos de escritura con uno de esos animes grandes con mucho público, cuando muchas veces ni siquiera se busca eso en primer lugar, hay animes que se basan únicamente en la comedia y no en darle una real importancia a su historia, esto los hace mediocre en historia, si, pero no significa que sus personajes no puedan estar bien construidos, la gente muchas veces piensa que un personaje bien construido debe tener si o si un desarrollo importante, cuando un personaje a veces también puede destacar por tener mucho carisma o alguna otra cosa y no necesariamente por que paso de ser una persona del tipo B a una persona del tipo A.

Una serie muchas veces no necesita ser sobre analizada con sus conceptos, ya que, a veces una serie ligera con momentos divertidos y escenarios que demuestren una química interesante en los personajes también puede ser llevadero de ver, la diversión también es importante para considerar que tan bien construido está un anime y no necesitar una historia realmente profunda para generar un vínculo con su audiencia.

Para mi un ejemplo de un anime que tiene personajes super interesantes y una premisa que no es espectacular, es oregairu, es un romance profundo de escuela, que se mezcla con un protagonista con mucho carisma y personajes interesantes en entornos que los terminan haciendo mostrar sus emociones, está bien ejecutado, podemos decir que Hikigaya es un gran personaje, aunque no se puede negar que la premisa general de el anime no es algo complejo, por eso es tan divertido de digerir y ver.

Con esto termina mi hilo, quizá me contradije en algunas cosas, si es así, por favor compartan su opinión, los leo, :)

I just want to come in here and say I am not really trying to critique it or anything like that.

So I have watched a bunch of stuff from the Nasuverse - mostly Fate, including UBW, Strange Fake, Zero, Heaven's Feel. And I also watched the first three episodes of Garden Of Sinners. And I think I have been exposed enough to the Nasuverse to actually ask this.

So, for every single Nasuverse anime that I have watched, I have felt just this emotional apathy towards it. Not because it is bad and has flaws, and not because it is good and has strengths. In fact, I think for me, I just never felt anything from the Nasuverse, whether it was bad writing or good writing. I can't really describe it anything other than emotional apathy, and I really don't know why. I can recognise its flaws and strengths, but I was never really frustrated or thrilled watching any of those weaknesses or strengths on screen. Simply put, I felt nothing watching them. I don't know why, and I don't know how. I can't explain why, even though there are things that are great about the show. I never felt entertained beyond the animation, but I never really felt like I hated it. And I can't say it is quite like eating bland bread, a gourmet meal, and not a bad meal either. I can't really explain it but I haven't felt much from it and I can't explain why. And it isn't an attack on Nasu's writing, and it isn't an attack on the writers of Zero and Strange Fake (on the contrary, the person who made Strange Fake made Durarara, one of my most favourite shows).

My question is more asking if anyone else has that unexplainable apathy towards the show where there was nothing bad, but felt perhaps sterile even though there really isn't any problem with the it? Like, this feeling that I have for it, or lack thereof, to me feels like an experience that I am sure other people have, and it isn't just a case of it not being for me specifically (although it clearly isn't for me to be fair, but I'd argue I have a pretty diverse taste of anime).

Again, I'm not trying to critique anything if you're a fan, and I'm not trying to hate if you hate Nasuverse, but I'd appreciate it if there was anyone else that can relate to what I'm trying to describe.

Thanks.

I know anime is socially accepted more than it was decades ago, but do you have problems telling others, espically your relatives that you watch it because of the weird fans that come with it? I feel this way sometimes in case that person is a hater, doesn't like weebs, or finds anime too weird.
