Overall I still enjoyed billy bat, gave it 8/10. Good review btw, made me rethink about the manga.
Also, peak csm review
Maybe you should have properly manufactured your favorites list to recommend these peasants TRUE QUALITY series
Thanks for opening my eyes
(Hey, thanks for reading all that. I know that there were a lot of gramatic errors and mispelings and I am sory for that.)
The doll devil used a human as a conduit for the darkness devil essentially abusing a loop hole so the rule still stands that a devil cant make contracts with other devils.
The doll devil also wants the power to kill makima because she holds the power to the country. Therefore, a monkey can assume, makima gone = country mine.
Now this is blatantly not reading. Look up what a fiend is and reread the series to find out what happens when a devil is killed on earth and killed in hell because it is very conspicuous and not confusing.
You said all the action to international assassins was null and barely mattered. Public safety effectively getting crushed, power getting a new conflict, set up for part 2 with yoshida, and lore around hell quanxi and kishibe are all just irrelevant trivial details huh? Yup. They barely mattered and thats only surface level.
I feel as if I have to write an entire Makima character analysis for you and hold your hand through it. Makima pulls the thread of denji's introspective character arc of what a normal life is and how to experience good and bad things. Makima and Denji are the stronghold for the motif of "Freedom vs Control" which all goes back to the main theme of the series.
You mischaracterize aki, denji, and power so bad I genuinely think you read the manga in 8 hours and spent 30 minutes writing the review itself. But just think as hard as you can: aki denji and power are a family. What do families do? Love each other. We find out the reason for Makima's actions and what was it? She wanted a family. What do you think does for the entire manga? It creates a message as oblique as "create meaningful bonds and connections". Completely justifying and characterizing every prominent character just off thinking logically using surface level material.
Aki's death along with Denji's father suicide was foreshadowed multiple times. The future devil lives in his right eye with no cost at all for aki simply because the devil says he will die in the worst possible way. Now, be critical and think about why doors are so prevalent within the manga and why pochita keeps telling denji to not open the door.
I didnt want to talk about many things simply because it would take WAYYY too long to actually articulate my thoughts and why yours are bad. I left things like the gun devil, more makima stuff, the conceptualization of denji/chainsaw man, the devil hunter organization, and lastly the egregious comment on fujimoto killing characters and instead of writing them.
Heres the link to a few chainsaw man analysis videos because I dont think youre dumb, I just believe that you fundamentally lack an understanding of the series as a whole
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-5HUw-jQHg - minor messaging that ties into character motivations and adds depth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFNpPJCR3yI - large makima stuff you desperately need
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMB_CNs3t48 - entire thematic structure of csm and single-handedly debunks 90% of your review
(tl;dr a reread is necessary for understanding chainsaw man because disguised under shallow motivations and comical character writing is a masterclass of modern day shonen jump. this user refused to understand why denji jumps from one goal to another and why aki was willing to give up his revenge journey.)
At the start, this part was kinda enjoyable (although the story begins with the main character waking up with amnesia which is an annoying plot convenience, it makes the story more intriguing because it's jojo at the end of the day). It started out really weird and kind of unique even for something like jojo. the main protagonist was mysterious and i was really hyped to see where it would go from there. well, it did go, all the the way to trash can. Right after Jousuke was taken in by the Higashikata family, it just got worse and worse. The plot itself felt so forced to start as a "mystery" because when you eventually find out who Jousuke really is, the whole thing about the start being a "mystery" feels so stupid and unnecessary, This is just a trick to make the plot itself look better or smarter, when it's really not. And it is getting worse form there, because now, the element of "mystery" is gone, and the whole plot is so slow and not engaging that i stopped paying attention at certain dialogues. What does it matter, they're about those boring fruits anyway. It doesn't need to be that slow. If you look at the plot as a whole it's really not something that inspired or game changing, it's just another generic plot, and that's crucial here because the plot in this part is more relevant than any other part's plot. One of the two things that can save jojo at this point are the fights of course, that's what jojo is all about after all (except for this part i guess). are they good? no, not really, they're kinda bad, like, really bad. It's just fight after fight, stand after stand, that makes me question my love for jojo. EVERY STAND IN THIS PART IS BAD. HOW?? Every time a new stand is introduced, it's less of a real fight and more of a fight about which stand is trying his hardest to be more boring than the other. And i swear, if there are people who give a pass to that beetle fight...
That's it for the plot. Now, the characters? Like the stands, worst ones in the series so far... forever... we'll see. The protagonist, Jousuke, is the worst jojo ever. I don't get the love for him. His design is kinda boring (except for the hat), he has a boring personality with an awful stand. Like, how do people like his stand? It's literally the most unspecific stand ever which makes it boring as hell. Such an uninspired character. Even after he understands who he is, he's just the same unfunny and empty character as he had always been. Now, the girl that's with him, well, she's just trying her best to be the most irrelevant character in this part. Can't say she failed, good for her.
The Higashikata family are as boring as Jousuke. Every introduction is more pathetic than the other. and the youngest member, don't even know what's the point of her, she's just there. same goes for the other chick. Now, Joubin has a nice design, I like his outfit and those spikes, but then the fight with the beetles came and i was getting kinda scared that he will became another boring character. well, he did. boring personality, boring stand, boring objective (he makes the plot even worse). Every part, even if it was a mediocre one, had at least a couple of good characters. Here? None.
In one word? Boring. This is what this whole part is, and it's a shame because it's coming from someone who considers part 4 and 7 masterpieces. This is a great example of something going in a different direction and failing miserably at that. Araki is more uninspired here than he had ever been. He had always been inconsistent for me, but this is just something else. I love jojo, but this part is probably one of the worst mangas/animes that i have ever read/watched. It's frustrating. I hope the next one will be better, that's all i can say.
and remember guys, this is just my opinion :)
