Hey guys, it's been awhile.
Hopefully you'll enjoy your stay :)
+1, we're simping tonight bois. Also wb
36:04 Just wanted to mention, that @ was not of the orignal creator, a channel that goes by the name 'HA anime' has the orignal source.
Also holly shit you put a lot of work on this
lets go get that bag g
you madman deserve millions of subs
Just wanted to point out that Fujimoto is a only child he didn’t try impersonating his sister he literally roleplays as a imaginary sister on Twitter
LMAOOO
Yeah I heard that too but then there were some interviews that had conflicting info and how he had multiple sisters that were art students. But it was just so hard to know which is which since there's not much personal info on him LOL.
That’s true either way both are weird. But the fact his editor was getting ready to sue that Twitter account before Fujimoto told him it was himself suggests to me he’s a only child lol
With the amount of little sister in his stories, I'm started to think he may have a thing for little sister. If you know what I mean
@@somerandomguyontheinternet8914 I think he wants a little sister guys
I love how Fujimoto is unabashedly unashamed in admitting that Makima is the kind of woman he's down bad for, but at the same time, points out just how toxic and manipulative someone like Makima can really be. At the end of the day, some fantasies should remain a fantasy.
This sort of self-awareness is horribly absent in online platforms…
@@WardofSquid It makes sense though, like how people end up with someone like their parents without realizing it. Kind of a paradox that you end up liking some of the abusive qualities you experienced as a child. Can't speak for others but it adds up for me at least lol, Makima kinda reminds me of my father when it comes to manipulating, jealousy, control, etc. I don't like any of those things but my dick does apparently lol. If I didn't know any better I'd walk off that cliff like everyone else
@@ooSHINIES lol, I appreciate the honesty. It's not just trauma either. Sometimes subconsciously gravitate towards people with some characteristics of our parents. The whole "SoftDom Mommy GF" meme kinda comes outta that, IMO. There's a whole video studying this Freudian stuff beneath the memes:
@@WardofSquid meme analysis?
Aheeeeeeeemmmmm…. I can fix her.
Correction, Denji actually has two nuts now, since after turning into a devil all of his missing body parts got regenerated, you can see that because he is not wearing an eye patch anymore, which he used to cover up his missing eye in the past
Thank you so much for clearing this up. You’re a hero.
Nut lore
@@piotrgrzelak2613 BAHAHAHAHAHAH NUT LORE
Infinite money glitch (sell your nuts then regenerate them and repeat)
@@YourAverageOnePieceWatcher but if you sell too much the buyers are gonna get suspicious
Chainsaw man does this incredible thing where it makes the characters the most absurd piles of flaws and inhuman characteristics while making them feel entirely relatable and like actual human beings. I don't know how. It just does.
its insane how good he is at that. Like there is no reason to like Power. By all means she should be incredibly annoying and yet i love her. shit makes no sense.
To be fair, power does became a bit nicer later in the series
That’s exactly what he does he makes inhuman character and give them moments of humane characteristics to give out the feeling of being human
ikr, like im aroace, no interest in sex, and i've lived a relatively good life, and yet... denji is my boy, i love him so much, and i relate so hard sometimes it hurts, denji deserves a fucking break istg
@@Sleepy_SunshineI’ve heard aroace means you like kids? Wtf? You’re a pedo?
You know the manga goes hard when the mangaka is absolutely unhinged
It's almost like " the mangaka who make it far, have a few loose screws"
@@tob505 got to
@@tob505 I get the reference lmao
whats a mangaka
It’s basically a manga author
The fact that Kobeni’s car was more popular than her really goes to show you how well the character development is😂
At least Kobeni's car's owner is still alive, rip to a legendary automobile
That car can drive over all our hearts eh?
haha get it? cuz its-its a car? and I said DRIVE over our uh, hearts? g-get it?
Ok I'm sorry what have I done here...
@@mr.regular589 you sound like Kobeni lol
Ummm that's Power's car, obviously
unironically, that whole car scene, although comical in nature, probably saved them from one of the three broskis and it is cheer chance and luck. maybe i am stretching it here and interpret to much into this, but sometimes, you can be as prepared and good at something as can be and then just through dumb luck, something gets in between. thats life.
"I'm reading a story about broken people that feel like they're getting healed when they're around one another"
Very good line. Excellent writing; keep it up
You know, I often find it funny how many people see a mangaka's avatar in jump and realize it's an avatar and you go "ah, yeah, they don't really look like that, this is just an image" but then you see HeartMan Fujimoto-san and you are like, "ah, yeah, that's definitely him, he can't look any other way. If you told me he was a real man I wouldn't believe you" and I find immense joy in this.
This is so god damn relatable, i love you commenter
I like how kobeni isn't even a devil, a fiend or a human. She's just kobeni, the best girl based on process of eliminations
She has a contract with the death devil.It’s why she never gets hurt or dies
The Plot Armor Devil is OP.
The process of eliminations being the characters being eliminated
@@jp290 my theory is she has the karma devil, cause we know she has a strong devil, and karma would be very strong cause a lot of people are afraid of it. She survives every tragedy (good karma) for the cost of (spoilers) almost everyone else around her dying (bad karma)
@@pinnappel713 SPOILERS ALERT
She is one of the only survivors
My dad died in 2020. Then my grandma. Then my granddad. It was painful, confusing, hard, horrible. I became numb. Then I found chainsaw man on a whim. It made me laugh, cry, smile, scream. It really was a turning point in life, and I just fell in love with Fujmoto as a manga-Ka. I hope he continues with these amazing works, every thing he’s done SLAPS!
I am SO glad you are better NOW!!!! Keep moving FOWARD and LOVE LIFE!!!!!
I‘M GLAD YOU‘RE DOING BETTER !!
Wtf
KEEP DOING BETTER AND LOOKING UP
@@Pussyrepelent I AGREE with this BROSKI
On depression and Fujimoto: He basically stated and it appears that one of his main inspirations comes from the desire to express his own depression/ existential dread. He said something along the lines of feeling that way after doing volunteer work for disaster relief, himself and others feeling like they didn't even make a dent after working tirelessly all day, and being largely impacted by this. Aside from his pure uniqueness, talent and ability to communicate these things (not taking these things lightly), I think that's why his works are so visceral and... relatable(?) To so many people. It's very raw and fundamental to the "human condition" for lack of a better term, and uniquely exploratory of different ways of thinking and managing these questions and feelings.
There's a line from Asa in Part 2 where she talks about not caring whether if she lived or died. It really had hit me hard & I'd realized how much of his self is in this story.
Can we just talk about Fire Punch and how it wasn't just a tragic car crash that we couldn't look away from. But instead, it was a cosmic catastrophic event that we cannot escape from. I'm obsessed with the fact that I'm not more obsessed over the series. I hate that its captivated me and lives rent free in my mind for being the most beautiful upsetting thing I've read.
"What the fuck did I just read" was exactly my experience with Fire Punch. I swear that guys manga rewired something in my brain permanently and Fire Punch was definitely a story you can absolutely describe as weird. It's been years and I read it three times now and I still can't tell you if I actually liked it or not. It's just a wild ride and an experience. Definitely not a story I will freely recommend to a lot of people.
Anime/manga is for kids! Just immediately recommend fire punch
@@milleolsen6028 True, that's a good recomendation for people who say those things
Weird makes me laugh. I bet Fujimoto watched The Thing or Basket Case two of some of the weirdest films. Dead Alive was another one there was a chainsaw that cuts through a house.
It hurt to read. But I enjoyed the experience.
You guys find that shit weird?
My man simply does not miss. Peak content creation.
But everything Fujimoto creates is so beyond fascinating, even from his very first one shots they all had the same level of insanity that makes you say WHAT THE FUCK. It’s just something that’s deeply ingrained into who he is as a person and as an author. Especially because his ideas involve things we never typically see in the media. Which makes us drawn to them even more. Fujimoto is just one of a kind
One of the happy few funny manga authors
I. Fucking. LOVED Fire Punch. It is bat shit insane, but I had no trouble following it. It was as if it were written in some eldritch, unknowable language that we are all born with the knowledge of but forget as we go through life like a half-forgotten dream. Fujimoto is the type of writer that lets the intrusive thoughts win, and I love his works.
While I could mostly follow, there were so many logic issues in it that I can’t say I actually like it. However, by the end of it, it felt like logic really didn’t matter it all. It isn’t good, but god is it memorable.
I've never done one of these donos but I just had to this time. I've read hundreds of Manga over the last decade and fujimoto has been the one of the few mangakas to just live rent free in my head since I learned about them. I'm glad you and other creators can make videos like this that make it feel like I'm not alone in how amazing fujimoto is as an author. As a fujimoto fan since learning about fire punch years ago and then all his other works I just knew he would take over the medium eventually. And I won't lie it feels really good that the anime is doing so well so now other people can become just as enraptured with his work as I am. I really do see his name up with some of the greats of Manga down the line.
Love your content dude, keep it up.
what other mangas would you put up there w csm? any recs? thanks haha i would love to get into mangas as well
@@yongheo4347 vagabond beserk one punch man jujutsu kaisen sakamoto days demon slayer
Theres a lot
There's only one guy though. No "them" to speak of
Chainsaw Man is one of the only mangas besides Berserk and Goodnight Punpun that I read straight barely stopping besides to eat and sleep the next day. Such an inspiration as an artist and as a storyteller.
dude i read oyasumi punpun in one-go. I regret doing that now, since i had an major existencial crisis after that.
Interesting, i’ve read chainsaw man in one day also but to me the story got worse as it got closer to the end…finally i can only call chainsawman just mid
@@dragoonMSfan Bro you didn't understand the themes smh
@@astralvoid101 nah the themes are established really Well, the problem is the super fast pacing, aswell as lack of focus in the last 20 chapters
@@dragoonMSfan thats fair. i think the pacing is fine, it could be a little longer. but its still not mid. its genuinely a really well written manga
i view tatsuki as a sort of diogenes of mangeka, crazy as balls for sure just like his works are... but there's a lot more deep themes i feel people don't see because they're so shocked by what's going on. he's a genuinely smart writer with a unique and sometimes strange way of expressing it in ways we're not used to.
I think that thing he said about his readers being bored of manga rings true here. He's pushing boundaries intentionally to explore different avenues within the realm of manga, not simply because he's a nutter who got lucky with a pen and a WSJ slot. Of course, he's pushing boundaries in a way only a nutter could, but I think he's harnessed his madness in order to produce a good story and hasn't shown us even a fraction of what he's truly capable of.
Like incest.
At a much later point of the manga, it's implied Agnis sister had more than one ability, something plant related because they lied to the parents about having eaten food, to save them the stress of their kids not eating. Only to find potatoes in her stomachs
As for the 'Why' question, have you had a chance to read his one shot, 'Look Back'? It felt very personal and I think he's inserting himself in the two main characters and his own struggles. (Partly because the characters are named FUJIno and kyoMOTO)
fujimito is such a mad lad that if you even try to understand who he is, you just go insane
Halloween
Ha...ha...hallo?....Halloween?!.....HALLOWEEN?!
hes literally just some dude with a mommy kink and good but also weird humor
@@dione__fernnn and somehow hes become this eldritch being😂😂
@@edgieststalker8141 Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
For me, Chainsaw Man felt like the fresh take on visual storytelling that I needed. These characters are relatable: Denji’s rage, Aki’s emotions - everyone is unique in their own exaggerated way. Seeing the civilians help Denji to save them was something I don’t see often (for example, society in Devilman Crybaby being divided on whether they should side with the Devilmen or not). This leads to a whole fanbase, with Denji actively trying to blow his cover and failing miserably (nearly the opposite of modern superhero movies where the general public loathe their hero). There’s a sense of hope in the mess of chaos and destruction, and I feel that Fujimoto does have a positive view of humanity as a whole, even with the jerks and douchbags. He takes a lot of tropes and flips them on their head, and I appreciate it.
I know you can find more relatable characters💀
@@peachdumpling9053 Okay, that's your opinion; that's not the point here. I would probably personally relate to Kobeni more personality wise, but that doesn't negate the relatability of other characters, especially for those who do relate to them.
That panel on chapter 53 of Fire Punch is absolutely one of the most impactful singular panels I have ever experienced reading mangas. Actual goosebumps seeing it for the first time. The only panel matching that feeling that comes to mind is THE panel from Punpun.
Which Punpun panel?
@@MayEliszkmd the one in the last chapters of the story
@@minhluc6394 You mean Punpun saying goodbye?
@@MayEliszkmdwouldn't it be the panel with aiko when punpun wakes up around ep 135-ish?
For me it was chapter 45 and luna's happy face asking agni to become fire punch for her. The whole flashback sequence, thinking of what was done to him hits like a train.
This video inspired me. I'm an artist, with a few ideas I could never realize, because of art block. After a long time, I came across Chainsaw Man, and I first time years had a feeling of inspiration. And this video helped me to realize, I'm not the only one who felt that and maybe, I could make it.
Thank you.
I discovered Fujimoto from super eyepatch wolf. He made a video mentioning Chainsaw Man and it got me curious about it. After I finishing all of Chainsaw Man , Fire Punch and all of Fujimotos one shots (especially the more obscure ones that can't be normally found) I can defiantly say the the dude is an inspiration for me. Not only in the story telling he portrays in everything he makes, but his art is just so cool to look at. I made so many chainsaw man fan arts that I'll admit that I have an insane obsession. I don't know why that is, but I just love it that much. A lot of people that aren't familiar with Fujimotos works would write him off as a weird guy (which he is for sure) but you can't deny that the man has talent and passion for his creations. That's why I enjoy every thing that he makes.
How did you find the obsure ones? I cant seem to find any other one shots besides Goodbye, Eri and Looking Back
@@joyous18 I just found out from people discussing about them. Apparently there are a total of 6 one shots that aren't that known but have been made by Fujimoto. 1/3 of these one shots can be found normally but two of them are currently missing their raw scans. Paper Plane, and Sense of Justice are currently missing. Only their covers have been found. Tetteleposan from what I know is the only one shot that has been found and was translated. The other three one shots have not been published at all. From what I know some of these one shots were made when Fujimoto participated in competitions and have not been released. That's why they fall under obscurity. Take that last part with a grain of salt though cause I got my source from reddit lol.
@@TehLuckyDuck what website can you read them on?
Goodbye Eri, HELLO POWER!
It irritates me when people boil him down to "haha boy he sure is weird" like he doesn't have legit talent. He's one of the most talented mankas out there regardless of his weirdness.
Here Grab Some Popcorn 🍿
Dont mind if i do 🍿

Yum yum

Thank you kind stranger🍿
43:30 Man this line really hit me on a deeper level. Not for chainsaw man but for art in any medium for general. May you be struck by that moment of fulfilment, surprise, and pure joy one day, be it music, videos, games, manga or anime
This has been an absolute rollercoaster of a video, holy shit.
I can relate to how you feel with Chainsaw Man, but for me it's always been Spider-Man. I moved around a lot as a kid and have always been socially awkward so I found solace in reading Spider-Man comics or watching the cartoons. I'm glad that you found an outlet that helped pull you out of your funk and inspired you to start drawing.
Thank you for sharing this bizarre iceberg you dove into.
I remember hearing about this manga called Fire Punch that someone said was cool. I decided to give it a shot, and I ended up reading it in one go, during one weekend. Good times. I hope Fujimoto keeps on eating tasty food and translating whatever it is that happens in his mind into manga pages.
I knew I recognized your name! You're the guy at 36:27 who made the Chainsaw Man characters racing
im a big fan!
@@Ah_Lecks I'm glad you liked that one. I really liked your video. It had heart, too.
Also, I'll be making more chainsawman videos soon.
I literally read fire punch in one day, really felt like a fever dream
I've read Fire Punch without a break in a few hours too and it felt like a fever dream. Definitely an interesting manga but due to some contents I can't recommend it to everyone. I've re-read it recently just before doing the same for Chainsaw man started in the morning a bit after waking up and finished in the evening and reading both on the same day definitely fried something in my brain but in a good way.
Hey I saw your animation! It was cute!
Omg, I literally died of laughter when he explained the Agni meme. For almost 15 minutes I couldn't move and my muscles hurt from how much I laughed. I literally teared up and died of asphyxiation. Great job man! This video is insane

Bro this is one of the best up and coming manga/anime channels for sure!! PLEASE keep doing what you’re doing, you’ve made yet another loyal subscriber today (from many to come).
Chainsaw Man has become so insanely addictive. I literally read it in 4 days (i had work and stuff in between) and then i can’t get myself to even think about reading part 2. and when i explained that to my friends they said to just “move on” and “it’s just a book” but to say that without understanding is so weird?? like did we need read the same series??
Mr. Ah's content is getting better and better by each passing video, it's criminal how few people actually see that.

@@Ah_Lecks Apologies, thanks for clarifying 🙏
The super eyepatch wolf inspiration is clear but in such a good way. You were able to take the formula and make a beautiful video that feels like your own. Great stuff
i was about to comment on this. feels like super eyepatch wolf video without the accent. he even makes the voice when emphasizing something. it’s the same process, same format, same way of talking. can’t say i dont like it tho. super eyepatch never posts, so i just consider this more eyepatch-like content to watch
Finally got around to watching this. And, as a fan who’s caught up in CM(finally, again lol) it really touched me. I wish i had come across Fujimoto’s work sooner, because I know it definitely would have helped and inspired me to get through my final years of highschool and early undergraduate years where I was also very depressed. (Also, I just like weird shit!) Thank you, Ahlecks for the content.
Ya know, this video wasn’t what I expected it to be about by the thumbnail or title. It was late in the night when I came across it and I was excited to do some other relaxing stuff before I slept but I just couldn’t help finishing this video instead. I felt it was too long to keep my attention at first but as the direction became more complex and more details joined in, I just kept becoming more and more enthralled. Thanks for showing your passion in such an entertaining fashion. Great video on the author and all the interesting matters that have spawned from his existence.
Man, I dunno if you'll ever read this but for the past week and a half I've been under a supreme variant of my usual 24/7 stress. It's been so bad that I've gained three physical symptoms in the form of a canker sore wounding my gums, a constant migraine ready to axe my sense of self-preservation, and a concentrated mass of swelling in one of my lymph nodes, all from mental and emotional strain
And for forty-five straight minutes today, I didn't feel a single sensation from any of them
Thank you
That genuinely means a lot thank you and I hope you feel better
I hope those 45 minutes become longer and longer till it's a day, then a month, then a year.
Your time put into the videos and editing and the quality and the ability to hold my adhd attention span is amazing. Haha. I love your videos dude keep making them!
this is one of the best videos, if not the best itself, I've seen about csm and the whole story behind it!
one small note: at 13:04 you refer to Togata as "her", when one of the points of his character is that he feels like a man.
despite using she/her pronouns in the story (which is due to the context, where the idea of a trans person got lost in time), it would be better to use he/him pronouns since he is a man overall.
this is in no way a negative critique, just something I wanted to point out, because Togata is genuinely one of the best trans rep I've seen and he's a very important character to me and many fellow transmascs :)
Your storytelling is like if Mother's Basement has gone absolutely insane. I love it, subbed
Mother's Basement is already fucking insane

Awesome video. Just recently got into CSM. You gained yourself a subscriber.
Bro has less subscribers than you and doesn’t care ahahahah🫵😂
Bro it's zenitsu's man 😂
Did you do it?
I love the fact that you became my favorite youtuber sooooo fast. Congrats on your work bro, you deserve the recognition.
Tatsuki Fujimoto is in all senses a crazed man and dear god I love him for that and have nothing but respect for this man’s work.
I like to believe that Denji is no longer unisacked. I mean he sold his eye and had it amputated, but it regenerated right? Perhaps his testes are the same.
32:04 I think it's safe to assume Denji has both nuts now because he got his eye back too
Just found this channel, every video you make is clearly such a passion project, I've noticed a few times yourself or others bring up your voice and cadence but I think the way you narrate your videos is perFECTION, keeps me hooked in, definitely a subscriber now
honestly, the fire punch recap in the middle of your csm deep dive video was so real
Fujimoto is the emodiment of "let me see your reactions on my story then I'll skew it because I love seeing you in pain"
Loved this video a lot. CSM has a very special place in my heart and is really the only manga I’ve read that’s made me want to know the author. This video really summed up TF and the community around his works well. Please keep making videos because your content is super refreshing.
Holy shit thank you Croznar :D
I like how I immediately read "TF" as "The Fuck" instead os Tatsuki Fujimoto.
Fujimoto is the type of weird that attracted me like a moth to a flame. He wilds out and that is the shake up that Shonen Jump and I needed.
i come back to this video like maybe 4-5 times a month just so i can recite it and laugh at how funny your humor is. that and i absolutely loved chainsaw man, since that was the first introduction to the world of tatsuki fujimoto for me! i started reading fire punch after i saw this video for the first time like 4 months after you put this video out and i couldn’t stop laughing at how bizarre and strange it was.
and i just loved chainsaw man. it’s still one of my favorite mangas/animes of all time. and is one i always recommend to people if they want to have fun and see some crazy shit 😂
I have never read or watched Chainsaw Man but 1.) this was facinating, and 2.) this gave me nostalgia for Homestuck. Weird author doing weird shit, stories that are both hilarious and dark and convoluted, taking over conventions, and a fanbase making an ungodly amount of weird and amazing content. Different fandom, same feeling.
right? i was thinking about the exact same thing along all of the video
Tatsuki Fujimoto is like those drunk Japanese people that Miyachi in Konbini confessions interviews and they will always have this weird ass relatable answer with deep and beautiful meaning.
Absolutely felt the Super Eyepatch Wolf inspiration here, loved the video, can't wait to see what else you've made!
Even though I'm not really balls deep into all of Tatsuki Fujimoto lore, this video didn't fail to make me laugh. I enjoyed reading the first part of CSM, but hearing all that has lead to the craziness and inspiration of it all was insane. Fantastic work dude! I'm subscribing so I hope to see more silly and goofy (yet somehow informational) content!
The quality of this video is insane. U can see all of the effort u put in it and I love it
I read Fire Punch and after Chainsaw man when I was seriously lonely and depressed in 2020, and it motivated me in a way I’ve never felt before. Fujimoto’s work is so unique and inspiring that it just has that effect people.
Man Fujimoto really told you to 'Live' in that moment by his work
near the end half of the video, it made me feel happy knowing that other people started drawing or something because of chainsaw man. the strange thing is I also get so emotional over a bunch of drawings, it quite literally changed my life as well. One of my friends showed me the art of 3d modeling, and I wasn't too interested until he told me I should try and model Denji. Long story short, I've become obsessed with trying to perfectly recreate that in 3d, it was super fun and I think that more people should find something like chainsaw man and Dandadan to inspire them to do something new.
Love the way you present information, really gives a soul to the content youre producing
Chainsaw man wasn't my first manga but it was the first manga I ever finished without dropping it for a couple months
I love it and firepunch is great aswell
My body is NOT ready for this oh no
Edit: it was beautiful damn. Never expected to dive into this insane world like this but Tatsuki Fujimoto certainly created ones that are difficult to look away from. Garfield/10 would get traumatized again
My way of viewing CSM as a person who enjoys story teling, and writing, is that, chain saw man is so loved because Fujimoto expresses his ART in a simple, direct, direct way. He does what the fuck he wants, and that atracts very of the people that have that "artist" inside of them, that will of taking what is deep on your soul/disturbed mind, and deliever it as a story. That why in my vision CSM(ans fujimoto works) have so much content like animations, memes , fan drawing, imense fan base of every character(and non character/Kobenis car S2). Fujimoto is very good at his craft, that atracts people who like a good story, but, he is indeed "raw", he expresses the way he wants and he knows that, and that fascinates us unkown artists, with crazy ideias and the will to create.
Sorry for the bad language; im from Portugal, and im not very proeficient in the art of using english language, discovered your chanel lately and liked your way of view things, ur nuts man i always laugh with your content , its hard to find good content creators lately. Thank you man, keep up the hardwork, Best regards from Portugal.
Fujimoto is the only author where I am actually interested in who they are. Maybe it’s because of how bat shit insane the shit they draw can get but it’s also just the way he acts outside of his manga. The weird shit he has done a with faking his imaginary sister. The weird shit he has said in his interview. It is very obvious that this man is as best said in modern day term. “Quirky and built different.” And all of that weird vibes he has shown can be easily seen in his own manga. Which makes his manga a debatable master class thing of its own. Sure the story isn’t perfect for fire punch or chainsaw man (his one shots are debatable another story) but holy shit. I can not lie when I say they take you on a ride that you will never forget.
Well said
Your rant at 34:30 was so epic it actually made me sign in to subscribe. A noteworthy feat and accurate analysis.
Goddamn. That 3 month wait was 100% worth it. You are definitely one of the best new animanga creators. Can't wait for the next video!
Appreciated your efforts in doing such an enjoyable but filled up with a lot of interesting information!
Love the fact that you tried to summarize the data collected from public, it give me inspiration to do so as well Hahahaha😂 I love researching things, but you gave me courage to push it to another level 😂, thanks for making this!
I watched Chainsaw Man in anime series and have never read any of his manga so I have to skip those parts you mention details of his previous works, but I will get back to this video again once I finish those mangas, you really make a really nice video here❤
I'd love to see you cover zom 100: bucket list of the dead. Your form of commenting and editing is something i found it quite endearing.
You have a great way to explain the stories you describe every time. I'm always impressed with how well I understand even the stories I've never touched. It's genuinely impressive. Big props
holy shit, how is this video this good and how does it have this good production quality, this is legit better than most channels with millions of subscribers
bro you don't know how much i enjoyed this video, i rarely enjoy long videos but this one was just amazing specially the editing was mind blowing i hope you keep doing great videos like this
I think it's so hard to explain how I feel about this story, as I have never found someone who feels the same way about Chainsaw Man like I do. This story felt like a wake-up call, like something had been missing from my life before this. Thank you, Ah Lecks.
Honestly this is one of the best video essays on chainsawman/fujimoto! Well edited and structured, you really did research thoroughly into Fujimoto and his works, it's nice that you covered the fan content side too. I tend to skim through video essays or sometimes skip over sections but with this you kept my attention throughout the whole video. Great job dude 👏
Damn, I love this video. It gives a semi comprehensive look ino the background through an entertaining lense but also just includes a lot of stuff that the creator just really liked. Gives a heartfelt impression that it was made not through some boring schematic which you sometimes get the feeling of in videos this long but that it was created through a process of sharing what the creator actually cares about and finds entertaining. It's like one of those rare times when a friend shows you their new obsession but they somehow never bore you with talking about it. Reminds me of some of Internet Historian's stuff like going camping at the end of the world.
You my friend.got a. New sub the way you incorporate humour and seriousness in a tone is so immersive. in retrospect thanks to probably experiencing trauma beyond imagination after reading the manga after this video made me feel a new nuansce on the work of the author sorta given me a new understanding on what tf i am seeeing also the editing format is hilarious frankly speaking
I have just now went back to this video, I watched it like 8 months ago, read fire punch later, (Which blew my mind out of my mind) and the forgot about it. Now I've finally watched the Chainsawman anime, and this Video popped up, and I need to say that this video really is probably one of my top 100 favourite videos, out of the 10s of thousands of videos that I've seen on whole youtube. I really want to thank you for your time and effort put into this absolute masterpiece.
dude i’m sitting here crying as you’re explaining the inspiration fujimoto’s work brings us. this was my first manga ever as well, and i feel many of the same things you have described.
I’ve legit been telling my gf for months that i keep having creativity bursts where i feel like i need to make something. and fujimoto is that source. thank you for this video, i really had no idea i held all these feelings internally
Start with a small idea, it doesn't have to be flashy then start building characters and a world around it
@@davelo3506 I will, Dave. I used to write about my dreams but I smoke, so my dreams are far and few in between. I often get sucked into little worlds as I have since a child. nowadays, everyone is doing “bits” in normal conversations. I used to do them in fifth grade ppl never got it 😂😂 i’ll just start, thanks Dave.
@@shephsnap all throughout human history, we as a species have been creative, through art, poetry, magic, war, anything we can think of we have thought of other ways to use it, our brains function accordingly to what our hearts desire, I desire a past love who I can't be with anymore and it tears me up inside, am I letting that take everything from me? No I'm getting a job and working everyday so I can forget her name....
Think of something small, say "a little red bouncy ball" now picture do you want the ball to cause chaos or to help people etc you can put your mind to anything as long as you believe, cause I believe in you
Ps and take it easy on the smoking 😉
I agree. I really feel like he took the inspiration to heart when making this video (:
This was one of the most entertaining videos i've ever seen. You really managed to point out the core about the hype around Fujimoto Senseis work. It's amazing and somehow I can't put it into words. It's like letting your shadow self do whatever it wants. Letting your intrusive thoughts take form and presenting them in a story. I love Fujimoto
Finally watched this MASTAPIECE of a video. And dang, like as someone who hasn't seen anything related to CSM, I'm honestly so invested in how this community acts in the span of only 45min. Like, I have NEVER seen a community act this lively about one work of art. I finally get why people were so hyped for the anime and now with its release, I feel we will see even more of this community as it gets larger. I have been subscribed for months now, but this video has made me now click the bell. You are the FIRST youtuber I have ever decided to do that to. And, even though it means nothing tbh, I'm just so happy to see your content. Keep being awesome Ah Lecks :)
1:36 i love how theres just a random picture of garfield on the top right
the production value is better than everything i've seen in a while. your voice is so comfortable to listen to, it compliments the video perfectly. i just had a blast watching this and wanted to write it down. great work! keep it up, can't wait for more!
Just love how author of this video really touches the essense of Fujimoto's work by going slowly more and more insane as the video goes on. Trully one of the videos of all time
there was a game i recently played through that made me feel the same way you feel about chainsaw man, i think. it made me want to create. everyday, i think, “how can i top that? how did someone even come up with that idea?” and i still struggle with that. but this video made my thoughts just that much clearer. and also, i can relate to the bit about diving so deep into something you go insane bro 💀
That was a great (mental) breakdown/video essay. When I saw the hidden Garfield I thought of Super Eyepatch Wolf and actually had to check the channel to see if it was him, lmao. The style was so similar I got bamboozled. You did well! 😂
Idk what else to say after watching that, but the way Fujimoto writes his characters in Chainsaw man feels so unfiltered and genuine in my opinion. So for the most part that's why I love it! Like characters just say or do shit seemingly out of nowhere, but it still makes sense for them and isn't just for shock value. After a while it's just expected in this story that the characters do things completely based on impulse with no way you could have expected that result. It's crazy!!!
I' enjoy the whole video thoroughly, it was a really great video essay and really wholesome for you to acknowledge those people who inspire you to put in the work. I guess in the end of the day, people just enjoys/felt inspire what other people are passionate about, and that is the beauty of Fujimoto's work.
What you said with Chainsaw man in the end was what happened to me in the pandemic. I was really depressed and felt like I was going to break until I discovered Chainsaw Man. I really had never read manga like Chainsaw man in my life and really helped get through my depression. I know a lot people I know don’t really understand why I feel this way and say it’s because a lot of those characters really reminded me of myself and felt like can relate to them. And that’s one of main reasons why I want my future career to be storytelling and I thank Fujumoto for that.
In the later parts of this video
I can relate to what you said.
Im inspired by Fujimoto's work.
I admired the way he draws to the point where I'm obsessed in trying to copy his art style.
First time watching your videos but I am in the same boat as you. CSM definitely wasn't my first manga, but it caught me at the right place and at the right time. Awesome work and loved the video! Subbed.
Yes. Yes. YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Also thanks for including my drawing at 41:55 after following this for months it’s really surreal to be a part of it! I can’t wait to see what’s to come from you and love everything you’ve done!
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos ( probably once a year on average) but honestly this video was SO GOOD that I needed to let you know (even if it's another generic possitive comment) how much I appreciated this video and all your channel in general. You can truly feel how much effort was put into this and you managed to portray how wonderful Fujimoto is as a mangaka and the love the community shares for him. I hope you didn't burn out during this vid and rest assured we will be waiting for your next vid ♥. Have a good day and keep loving Garfield.
I really appreciate all the effort you put into this video and the research to make it. Now im hoping you do the same with other manga series!
The sponsor at the end destroyed me. Really good video! Keep it up!
Discovered this channel through your BLAME! video and after this masterpiece I have to say you're great, man. I love Fujimoto's works and it's insane how popular yet niche his content is, he has a unique style of not giving a shit and drawing what he wants, you can tell he's very passionate about movies and he shows his inspirations clearly.
Similarly, I'm extremely happy to see you're a fan of Jakey and EyePatchWolf, 2 of the most passionate content creators out there. You are on a good path.
And lastly, when you talked about how Fujimoto inspires so many people, it resonated with me so much. Kinda hard to put into words too, but I hope we can all do cool shit and be proud of it.
Keep being awesome, yo.
THE PANEL @16:39 is literally the face of "grin and bear it". A real 1000 words in one pic. Pain, fortitude, duty, despair, so much in 1 glance. Sadly, I've worn this face a few times and the only reason I don't today is the woman who saved me.
And yes, I do know how lucky I am in finding her.
And then I got to your meme section and laughed hilariously. Thank you for the intro. I've never seen the meme and I'm hooked.
Bro this video popped up on my suggested and it led to me watching all your videos. Goat
the scream at the end lmao, first video from ah lecks ive seen and i watched it all this was a really good video.
I would really like to say that i really really appreciate you taking so much time to make this video this was great in every way and every format and if no one else has said I’m proud of you
That last bit about inspiration is scarily true, i started reading chainsaw man near the beginning of the school year in 2021 and had an art class which with my previous interaction with art i didn't want to take but the more i read chainsaw man the more i started to like art and felt like drawing more, and eventually started drawing panels from chainsaw man and now whenever i hear a certain part of the song "kickback" i just feel like getting my hands on pencil and paper to start drawing
Your videos r always so well made and fun to watch !!
Never related too a UA-camr so much, I got into manga the same way and chainsaw man was also my first and favorite! Easily one of my favorite UA-camrs, Love your content man keep up the good work.
