No matter how well or poorly a manga handles its perverted elements doesn't matter as it's ultimately useless garbage that adds nothing of value to the story. So I'm very doubtful Chainsaw Man would be worse off if it abandoned the pervy stuff or hadn't included it in the first place.
Generally this mellows out once a series gets an (at least decent quality) anime and the fanbase grows to the point that the obsessives get drowned out.
Idk. I feel like it's only going to get worse given the nature of the series, but we'll see.
If the Akame ga Kill fanbase mellowed out then this one will definitely mellow out. And that that series was Edgy with a capital E.
Yeah, and we'll see how the series progresses in the next 6 months to a year.
Well currently it's being used as a plot device to give the main character motivation without actually giving him a legit motivation, I believe sooner or later that'll run its course and they'll give Denji a legit Motive for the story, Denji character itself doesn't bother me because he is one of the more tamer perverted characters in anime, he doesn't cross the line for me like other characters like Meliodus and Mineta
Akame ga Kill fanbase mellowed out because both the anime and manga went to shit
I mean, it was kind of always shit, but it was really fun shit. It's just that most of the likable characters were dead towards the end.
It wasn't just that, the manga had stuff like "meet dog" and that fucking clown scene
"Meet Dog" was fairly early one in the series though. Chapter 23.5 from looking it back up.
Not sure, but makes sense with Jump+ becoming more and more of a thing.
Power Play is going to be their favorite bedroom pastime for sure.
