Beyond the fact that they’re both violent anime shows, Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan don’t seem to have much in common. Chainsaw Man blends a modern, capitalist world with fantastical shonen tropes, while Attack on Titan evolves beyond its shonen roots, transforming into a meditation on the genre itself and the darker nature of humanity, more akin to a seinen narrative.


This is an intriguing take on how both Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan explore themes of masculinity. It’s interesting to see how these shows reflect deeper societal issues beyond their surface-level violence. Looking forward to more discussions on this topic!
