Review of Chainsaw Man

I said I completed it, but I lied I couldn't finish the last episode. I am going to start off with the fact that I am a manga reader, and I did not like the manga in the end, but I was still enjoying it at this point in the story in the anime. I had higher hopes with the anime given that it was shown to be a high budget project with amazing animation, but the last episode was giving me Berserk flash backs so I noped out of there. I'm not going to go into details about it, but at it's core the storyis really bad, characters are bad aside from Aki and it's going to be a poorly explained mess when this is all over. The fight scenes are atrocious, plagued with CGI and terrible choreograph. I know they didn't have much to work with from the panels in the manga because it was mostly simple movements, but I was expecting like different angles, dynamic movements, and close up and all that to make the fights a lot more fun but it fell even below my expectations of the worse case scenario. It seems like MAPPA bit off more than they could chew, with all the projects they had because this is an embarrassing attempt on of the most hyped series to come out in years, and feels like a soulless cash grab from the crazed fanbase and everything about this season felt passionless. They've only proved the doubters right, and alienated new viewers who didn't drink the koolaid, but there's always going to be the die hard fans who would defend this abomination.
