The popular Japanese portal Anime!Anime! conducted a survey among its subscription readers asking them for their favorite anime series released during the Fall-2022 (October-December) season . The results were shared in a recent article, whose introduction he wrote:
« Many anime projects have reached the end of their broadcasts. We had a variety of titles, from original productions with notable stories to sequels to popular franchises, but out of all of them, which were our readers' favorites? The survey was conducted between December 18 and 25 of this year, with 45 percent male participation, 50 percent female participation, and 5 percent people who did not want to reveal their gender ."
The results were the following:
Fans were quick to react to the results on opinion forums , also sharing a screenshot of the final Twitter posts from both franchises, noting that Bocchi the Rock! it definitely grabbed more public attention with its final episode. While it is true that there is a two-day difference between the two posts, it has become a trend to show anything that serves to show “ Bocchi superiority ”, especially since Chainsaw Man fans have proven to be quite reactionary.
Notable comments included:
- « Chainsaw Man fans ask for a more faithful adaptation of the play, but Bocchi the Rock! they are pleased with all the material they added ».
- « The number of reactions that Bocchi the Rock! it is impressive ».
- « The director of Chainsaw Man did not understand anything. What he made was a bad Japanese film ».
- « The difference is that one was interesting and the other was not, but one was done badly, and the other was done well ».
- « The one who made Jujutsu Kaisen should have also directed Chainsaw Man, MAPPA's tremendous mistake to put a rookie director to direct his most important project of the last decade. I'm not a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, but I admit that the action scenes of that series far exceed those of Chainsaw Man ».
- « Chainsaw Man was relevant at the beginning, but ended up losing audiences before directing decisions. Bocchi the Rock! it was the totally opposite case ».
- " Sorry Denji-kun, you can't beat the most relevant pink-haired heroine since Madoka-chan ."
- « Well, Bocchi the Rock! is the heir to K-On!, one of the most important franchises in history. I saw the first episodes of Chainsaw Man, but it seemed excessively serious, it was not what they had told me ».
- « It is interesting to see the difference between the two directors. The level of expertise is unmatched and that was reflected in both final products ."
- « I haven't seen Chainsaw Man, but I'm sure Bocchi the Rock! it will continue to be relevant for a long time. The Internet will take care of that ».
- « I don't think it's right to blame the rookie director for everything. Everything was ruined when the producer and the nosy editor of the manga defined at what point to end the adaptation, with a kick in the balls, literally. The sound director also messed up the voice acting by making the artists speak brokenly during the episodes. And fans of the original manga became anti-anime fans ».
- « I tried to watch Chainsaw Man because many netizens were praising it. But it didn't hook me. They painted him as a thousand times better than Kimetsu no Yaiba or Jujutsu Kaisen, but he didn't end up being that.
- « I wonder what will happen to the director of Chainsaw Man from now on? He was given the ingredients to prepare a dish of the highest quality, and he ended up making a hamburger ».
- « The fact of only giving 12 episodes to a project of the stature of Chainsaw Man was a terrible mistake. But even Bocchi the Rock!, which sprang from an unknown manga, had the same number of episodes and got everything right. You can tell that Chainsaw Man had a totally new production team ».
- « I'm sorry Denji, I'm sorry MAPPA, but that happens when they don't accept investors. They could not against the giant Aniplex and his shy girl with pink hair From him ».
- « The author Tatsuki Fujimoto says that he is satisfied with the work, but does anyone really think that he would ever complain? He would get into trouble because his editor does not stop saying on social networks that Chainsaw Man is the best anime in history ».
