i do have criticisms of chainsaw man part 2 tbh as much as i gleefully enjoy it, and one of them is that it feels so heavily built on fire punch that it must not do *nearly* as much if you haven't read fire punch beforehand. it's like half of a conversation and if you're missing the other half i imagine it must sound a bit like nonsense

#eli talks #there are other criticisms i have but i feel that some of these criticisms are more tied around #-to the conditions in which csm is produce both in terms of fujimoto's state; the manga industry; and other things #like i do agree there's been a decrease in the quality of the art and panel flow #it's not nearly as creative as it used to be #but i also strongly suspect that even with breaks and jump+ fujimoto does not handle the wsj formula well (which v few do tbh)#and i suspect he's also not in a good place mentally rn. maybe even physically.#it bothers me less than others bc in the end what draws me to csm are themes and characters #but it is a shame. i strongly feel he'd do a lot better if he could write arcs into chunks that he delivered yearly or some shit #i also feel like it would do a lot more for people's reading of the series #rn part of why people are frustrated are the breaks in middle of arcs which saps the flow #but when you read it from the start the pacing flows a lot better #also have other.... i wouldn't call criticisms but 'things i can understand that others dislike'#that i won't get into here #anyhow i hope fujimoto isn't wrecking his health here. i'd rather he take years off then kill himself at this
