Wow, they really want this movie to be a success, huh? I mean, I do hope it succeeds, but dang.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I watched it a few days ago (it's been out for a week already where I am).

It's good, but I've got a hunch that people who like the first half won't like the second half, and vice versa. It's a slightly odd film, pacing-wise, but maybe in a good way? It definitely hasn't let the franchise down.

Does it feel like an actual movie, or like a bunch of episodes strewn together?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It’s one story. It’s not episodic, but there is a major gear change halfway through.

(I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that, for reasons that will be clear once you see it)

So Chainsaw Man adds a transmission to his chainsaw?!

From slapstick anime to serious business.

From visual effects party to clay stop motion /s

Is it as jarring as watching Evangelion Rebuild 2.0 and then immediately watching Evangelion Rebuild 3.0?

Do this with Made in Abyss HiDive. I dare you.

(Demon Slayer would make more money than god if they copy this)

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Demon slayer doesn't need to do this tbh. Their recent movie rocked the box office if I remember well.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

Yes but they could silksong the box office.

As if we don't have enough collective trauma!

Says starts Oct 11th, but as of 7:00 Pacific time watching it via Crunchy Roll's YouTube channel still requires signing up for a trial membership. 🦜
