They will wonder why their study, well the question is that they not only invested a lot of money in their production, but also invested a lot of money in advertising, causing a tsunami of images of Chainsaw Man all over the country, where the Japanese public mentions the speed with which collaborations with different brands appear.

Posters and images in the streets of the stations and inside the trains themselves, also the numerous appearance of the characters on magazine covers that are not directly related to the anime or the appearance of TV personalities wearing cosplay of characters from the franchise .

The overwhelming advertising campaign is such that it seems to be causing frustration and visual fatigue in the Japanese publication, who expressed their opinion on social networks where they commented that they should leave space for other anime like Spy x Family, Bocchi The Rock and Gundam among some.

These are some of the comments that appeared on forums and social networks about Chainsaw Man:

  • Was it necessary to ask such a famous place to do ED?
  • After looking back, Tatsuki was in a state where he had to be fully lifted up.
  • If it weren’t for Bozaro and Gundam, Sony would have bought the disc and sent the video to the office to stage the victory.
  • I like Gundam, Mob Psycho, Bleach, DIY.
  • The important battle did not meet expectations.
  • Seriously, how much money did you spend in the end?
  • How many chainsaws will he sell?
