I watch this movie without knowing what is it about in the first place. The movie is great in many aspect, as a viewer its always refreshing to see how Fujimoto able to write the story and how the direction studio gave into this animation. As the movie end, i appreciate it as a good show, with few mixing feeling about what is the purpose in making such stories.

That mixed feeling is erased quickly when i found out about the link between this works in particular with Kyoani incident that happen in 2019. I start bawling hard because of how it potrayed beautifully in Fujimoto way. Not only show that he loves Kyoani but also respectful toward the way he telling this story. Its not overly dark and gore as what happen in other of his works like CSM, it cuts perfectly without causing hard feeling of how he narrate the stuff. Really, the man you are Fujimoto.

I don't want to gave any spoiler, but just curious how other perceive the narration. Because this realization makes my appreciation toward Fujimoto doubles for how impactful his message are.

I immediately thought of KyoAni. And it really pulled at my heart. I agree, it was handled well. This film handled a lot of things incredibly well, which as a fan of the Chainsaw Man manga it was surprising to see the care in the approach of these things.

An arson attack that was caused 36 killed and 34 injured including the suspect.

Its like the the burning of Alexandria Library for many Kyoani fans. The lost of many talented artist that we can never be recovered.

I remember when I was watching it, I was thinking to myself “this feels familiar”, then I looked it up and when I saw it was based off the incident, everything made much more sense. It was such a tragic event that the movie covered very well with a lot of respect

Honestly i dont see why people are praising so much this movie. Kyomoto just died and thats it? Yes, it has beautiful artstyle and animation, well written characters, but i really cant see anything special. I might have to watch again

Preferences. Its okay if you don't connect with other people thought. That just natural. No need to push yourself into rewatching this movie for sake of finding the hype. I think the most important thing is to doing what we found relate and excited about rather than following the trend.

But if you really want to understand the movie in better way, rewatching might help finding more details that you've might be missed. Maybe wait one week or two before doing it so there is no bias anymore and for a quite fresh start too.

Yeah, around 2 years of its anniversary. It was his tribute from the start for the victim of this tragedy.

This makes a lot of sense. The way the incident was portrayed here definitely felt familiar and I must say it was respectfully done.

And yet i feel so little discussion around it as new viewer of this opus. I guess i just late on the train, but really its makes me so emotional for the past 2 days after watching it.

Yeah, I got the vibe even when I read the manga before watching the movie.
