It's only 30 episodes though, and I don't know if the rest are streamed anywhere else. I thought it was weird how the last few episodes weren't wrapping anything up

What the hell happened there that they made like 70 episodes but only the first half is available anywhere? How is that possible? I remember I had to  the whole thing a million years ago when I wanted to watch it and had to fight to chromecast it to my TV. For some reason the subtitle track got hosed up every other episode and I'd have to like restart the connection or something. Totally worth it though, show was excellent.

I have zero clue what's going on with it any more. I know back in the day Viz had dubbed it in English but let licensing lapse due to poor sales, which led to a bizarre, nebulous state of availability in the West. I never found out why it's so hard to get a hold of virtually everywhere loving else. The 30 episodes is bizarre and makes me skittish due to how the property's been treated in the past. It's not going to turn shonen numbers, so I'm worried Netflix won't bother putting up the remaining 42 episodes. I just want to own it. Please, someone let me own it. I want to share it with people who don't read manga.

I was cursed to watch Redline before Monster and can't watch the dub of the latter without hearing Frisbee but the subs I got were even worse.

What happened to AMV hell anyway? I figured culture just moved on, but it looks like every once in a while someone still gets the urge to make some, and I just watched it, so there's an audience.

After hearing the hype I watched the first episode and was very turned off. I get it was only one episode but I had a pretty visceral aversion to it. If I continued on would it be more of the same or does the story actually turn into something other than non-stop violence?

The manga reveals itself to be way deeper than it pretends to be on the surface, you start getting a glimpse of that by episode 7 or 8

The first ep is by far the worst, and it almost turned me off the anime entirely in favor of picking up the manga. It also definitely goes places that are not just violence. It goes...so many places...

Yeah, the best parts of this show are the slow bits. They loving crush. A guy making morning coffee turns out to be one of the most captivating moments of the season.

But as someone who was thoroughly "meh" on the first episode while everyone was freaking out, I think that it is absolutely worth giving it another episode or two just to see if anything clicks with you. The violence never goes away, but I think it is used much more meaningfully in pretty much every single other instance throughout the series (with the exception of the very next big action scene, which is unfortunate but much more tolerable than the Zombie Devil). And some of the most stunning pieces of animation are from the calm, quiet moments where it really focuses on its characters. So if you don't mind the violence as long as it actually serves some purpose, then I think you should give it another chance to win you over.

I think the name of the game in Chainsaw man is very sudden and abrupt hyper violence contrasted by everyday life. If excess gore bothers you it gets better but never goes away.

OnimaruXLR posted:the violence doesn't even start until the last five minutes tho Definitely agree with this. I would also add that as others alluded, Chainsaw Man is a far more nuanced show if you get passed the hyper-voilence.

I loved the manga, and the show didn't fully click for me until episode 5/6-- even the fights in episode 3/4 felt a bit long and gratuitous, but once you get to that next arc it slows down and you get some character development since they have to do some investigating for a while before anything needs to get horribly murdered.

But also, you know, it's about a man made of chainsaws who fights monsters with his chainsaws. I'm not really sure there's a non-violent way to kill a thing with a chainsaw.

Or CO2 poisoning, by cutting down every tree on earth. although maybe that's violent too
