>It's bad because...it's popular
Is there actually any real reason to dislike this manga? I have never seen anyone hating on this outside of Any Forums, it's only getting praised left and right
It's bad because...it's popular
Reason to dislike this manga, you ask? Just off the top of my head:
>Dishonest Paneling
>Post-Isekai inversions
>Grating indefinite amateurish line-work
>Gatcha Game Iconography
>Proto-Slysoy Disenfranchisement peddled as NEET/ entertainment/Herbivore Powerplay
>Neo netouyo hangups: scene schizophrenia and meme dialogue
>Meta-Structure syndrome (refusing to build narrative structure is just as problematic as indulging in See: Firepunch/U19)
>Stoicism as social currency inverted through solipsistic ToC fetish
>Dishonest

>Dishonest
Dude csm threads before final arc were great, then it became popular because Makima, the other girls and the Darkness Devil panel. Now the generals are shit and the majority of Any Forums simply hate it because it's way too popular. Also shitposters and spammers.
None of these words are in the Bible
Wrong question. You should ask yourself is there a reason to like it.
The fighting scenes are the absolute worst part of CSM; it's fine at first but by the latter half, fights have no weight or meaning behind them. The characters and their interactions are top tier. After the Darkness arc it becomes irredeemably shit, there's zero tension to the scenes at all, thus souring my overall impression of CSM.
I just don't know who the target audience is. Is it those that like mindless violence with good characters? If they like their mindless violence, suely there'd be better series they could watch/read instead.
>shonen writing masquerading as seinen
>pathetic simp protag who got lucky with his power, just another naruto alien dna jesus shit
>mediocre art
>forgettable characters
>has homo and trap shit to attract americans
>a total downgrade from fire punch in regards to art and story
>main antagonist is a dog lady, also shit reasons
>final arc was rushed
you should get beaten with a belt everytime you praise this mediocre shit. it's pure normalfaggotry, close to marvel capeshit
>main antagonist is a dog lady
Only legit criticism. I fucking despise dog mommies.
>The gun devil arc is shit
Are you retarded? You can't possibly have this much shit taste
1. Forgettable one-dimensional villains like Santa Claus, Bat Devil, all those devils that basically has no character at all.
2. Aki barely had any panel time, he had 1 (one) genuine bonding moment with Denji which was kicking some rando on the ground. His whole arc was like someone fast forwarded through an entire anime and skipped right to the ending, it was so rushed. He barely even did anything with Power despite them being the main trio.
3. Power barely had any real character moments and the friendship shit at the end was MHA-tier. Also her design is ripped off from that shitty Zero Two bitch.
4.Kishibe is cool but doesn't get to do anything and is one-dimensional as fuck. Same can be said for Himeno, The Halloween girl, Quan Chi, etc.
5. The bantz between the cast is pretty weak despite how quirkily they're drawn.
6. Relationships are again hit with the fast forward button, the journey is what matters, not the destination. But Fujimoto just rushes everything, for example Reze and Denji don't actually have a fleshed out relationship. They met each other for a very short period of time, only met a few times but the manga pretends that we have some ebin dramatic relationship that deserves some profound moment. Nah, there needs to be a journey for the climax of an arc to work.
7. Battles aren't strategic but that's not even the main offender. They're just boring and have dull choreography. Denji's powers are actually very limited and not creative at all, it's just more regeneration shit. Even the conceptual eating of
8. Chainsaw Devil isn't really used in a combat sense and he just uses regeneration more than anything which is what Agni and fuckton of MCs have. Denji doesn't have an identity, maybe being a simp for 98% of the manga but that's not a good identity.
Chainsaw Man is cool and all. The concepts in it are great but the manga itself sucks, this is Shingeki all over again.
I think generally you'll see more negative opinions on here about popular things than anywhere else because 1 contrarianism and 2 places like reddit and twitter obscure unpopular opinions through things like the upvote system as opposed to Any Forums where all opinions are equally represented in terms of what you see on the catalog.
>Also her design is ripped off from that shitty Zero Two bitch.
Stopped reading there, kill yourself
Not every negative opinion is being contrarian, this is pure cope from shills. Chainsaw Man's writing is very weak and the fanbase can never refute most valid criticisms of it. Denji is pretty much the only well developed character in the story, the reveal of what was behind the door was underwhelming, he has plot armor for the whole fucking manga too. There are good things about Chainsaw Man but even those have some shit smeared on them.
It's true, cry more. It was a shit design for that shit character and it's a shit design to rip off.
>he has plot armor for the whole fucking manga too
>Lost almost every battle and got completely shat on whenever he didn't get any help
Losing battles doesn't mean the character has no plot armor, that's not what that means. Actually it even supports my point because the bitch would have been dead if he didn't have said plot armor. Also, Denji just conveniently meets and befriends the strongest fucking devil that the main antagonist someday would worship, just because? And he had Pochita from the start so he was basically plot armored for the entire manga.
It's not plot armor because it was established from the very beginning that hybrids can only die if you destroy their devil core. This is a core concept of the story. Also, he can still die if you destroy his core, Fujimoto could kill Denji off for good in part 2, so it's not even real "plot armor" anyway.
>it's not plot armor because it was established
Established plot armor is still plot armor. Without Pochita, Denji would have been dead in chapter 1. Hell, what are the fucking chances this boy would meet the chainsaw devil right from the start before the story even gets going? It's already plot convenience before anything fucking happens. He was plot armored the whole way through.
>Fujimoto could
Could is not the same as "is". You can't use headcanon to argue. But still none of this changes the fact that the writing in this manga is shit.
>Is there actually any real reason to dislike this manga
This whore, mostly
>B-but what are the chances of-
Jesus christ user. What are the chances of any fucking shonen premise? What an absolutely retarded fucking thing to bitch about.
>an inciting incident is a "plot convenience"
brb kms
>The character having powers is plot convenience.
Then literally everything is plot convenience by sheer virtue of being a written character in a story
What... What the fuck are you talking about?
chainsaw man's final arc was so fucking dull, thank God there's going to be a part 2
Yeah it's just shit.
