Yall kind of exaggerating with how much the anime misses the mark with CSM. The manga is pretty brutal at a certain point and has tid bits of humor to give it some breathing room.

I like the dark and grounded atmosphere the studio gave us for the series It matches the art style nicely.

We're in the first episodes so its hard to say, and the manga at this point still hadnt shown its potential, but i will say that after episode 2, i find it hard for mappa to match the batshit insane s*** that happens later on. The best way i can say this is that the anime most probably wont be a worthy alternative to the manga, but at best a good anime adaptation of csm, if you get what im saying. So yeah, id say read it. I suggest reading goodbye eri too to get a better idea of fujimoto's style if you havent. its a short story, around 180 pages or so and his best work yet imo

Yea I feel it’s definitely getting gassed. It’s high quality s*** tho and I usually hate shonen

I love short condensed stories, will definitely check out the other one. Thanks

They gon have to hurry up with the Sakamoto Days anime cuz this s*** is gas

I think you should form your own opinion because there will be people that so far disagree with him as much as some might agree . I personally think the anime medium is amazing so far and fleshed out elements that the manga medium didn’t , but vice verse the manga also has experiences exclusive to that medium

I also feel like it’s easier for us to have this perspective as manga readers but in every forum or people i personally know . They are having the exact same “wtf” is happening response i had when i first read it, it just happens to be directed beautifully as well . I think those elements are still sticking with the vast majority of watchers .

Twitter is a bad place to gauge what peoples real opinions are

You right, ima get that manga for sure

I have never seen people so consumed with others opinion of an anime . I am glad I didn't read the manga yet because there is so much constant comparison here

Lol this YouTuber literally got death threats from manga readers about a joke of shipping a couple. It’s really personal for some groups outside of just the quality of the adaptation

Makima and Denji

yeah I was like why all this mofos taking this one so serious . I am focused on Golden Kamuy though

I mean, that's why i said its a good adaptation. For all intents and purposes it does a very good job at translating the manga into an animated form. Mine were the considerations of someone who is so enamoured with the author's style that is being a bit harsher on the anime, but that's not to say the anime is bad or even just alright. Its geniunely good and of course it should, they spent a ton of resources on it and they got lots of amazing freelance animators working on this. Also i wasnt trying to sound definitive on my judgement so if i did i apologize for that, we're on episode 2 and there's lots to go still. Also it all started in jest, i wasnt appalled at twitter opinions, i never am, just found them hilarious that's all

Reminds me of the dudes woofing at makima's va, weirdo s***

Got ya, Your worry is still 100% valid and people are legit doing it unironically. My statements in general was more so just bringing the other half of it for a people not hip to both sides of the discourse. Also your prediction is def reasonable . It’s a good chance that the bat devil s*** for example could be awesome but not give the same eye raising experience as the manga . That panel of its reveal is legit terrifying . We are all in prediction mode but the discourse is fun week to week to see how they handle these moments we love so much

is eminence in shadow good?

Any Junji Ito fans? Went down a uzumaki rabbit hole last night.

What’s y’all’s favorite work by him?

I mean the anime has a near 9.0 rating on MAL with 700k users logging scores for it. That’s a pretty good marker for the real world opinion.

I don’t think anime adaptations need to be 1:1 with the manga but if that many people are rating this that highly, it’s clearly a great adaptation, differences or not.

all the media says is "chainsawman, jujutsu kaisen, demon slayer, my hero academia", i just wanna grill for god's sake

Take me back to the days where we were all just gassing up seasonal rom coms

ayoo these phantom dudes ain't playin

Tomie for sure

Who was there when we were talking about MAPPA’s Terror in Resonance

Times are different now…

Yatsura out now!!
