Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

i think maybe i just have a very very different idea of a children's movie in my head then if you can call chainsaw man a children's movie
To be clear, I do think it's a) on the oldest end of the demo and b) pretty edgy even for that, but again, see the content that I described before, which is variously for kids from about 8 - 14. I can see my claim about chainsaw man being regarded as a little controversial and honestly I myself don't really understand how it gets published in Jump when compared to all the other series there, but even if we just assume that I'm wrong, I think you're taking a very narrow view of what children's media is. Even so-called YA is still intended to be pretty accessible to tweens and agreeable to their parents, which is a more restrictive in America than in some other places (including Japan). Chainsaw Man is I think a more reasonable depiction of what it looks like to make media aimed firmly at brainrotten teenage boys specifically.
Come to think of it, it was pretty clever to make the Reze arc a movie since that's the one arc that has a substantial degree of romance, so it could help them get a broader audience.
