It's been difficult to escape the buzz of the Chainsaw Man anime since its release, but it became literally impossible for one household.CSPerfectShot reposted a video from an unconfirmed source, which shows the said household getting bombarded with a drive-in theater-sized projection of the Chainsaw Man opening credits, seemingly as an act of petty revenge. According to the video's caption, the unsolicited screening of MAPPA's hit series came after the source's neighbor told them they hate anime, which the original poster clearly took as a sleight. While fans have shown their love for Chainsaw Man with some incredible artwork and delightful cosplays, this is one of the more extreme displays of appreciation for the series seen thus far and not one most of the fanbase condoned.RELATED: Chainsaw Man: Part 1's Penultimate Chapter Contains the Series' SICKEST Twist

Chainsaw Man Fans Panned the Annoying Neighbor Devil

While a few fans commented on the video to humorously point out its similarity to something Chainsaw Man protagonist Denji might do out of spite, many expressed their annoyance at the original source's antics. "Annoying Neighbor Devil Confirmed!!" wrote one user, while others expressed their dismay at the source making fans of the series look bad with comments like "This fandom keeps shocking me in ways I can never imagine and I've been shocked before." Another fan aptly pointed out that regardless of how it makes anime fans look, it's simply a bad prank, given that the neighbor was already inside the house. "... it's not like the neighbor is gonna see that, what's the point?"

With the immense popularity of MAPPA's Chainsaw Man adaptation, it's unsurprising to see the series popping up in more and more unexpected places. Cartoon Network, the last place you might expect to see a gruesomely violent horror anime featured, recently posted a work of crossover art with their series Scooby Doo, initially drawn by artist Minami Natsuki. The Chainsaw Man manga from Tatsuki Fujimoto also featured on the New York Times' recent Best Sellers List, showing that the series has truly made its way into the mainstream despite its often graphic content.

MAPPA is yet to confirm a second season of Chainsaw Man, sparing anime-averse neighbors from new screenings for the foreseeable future, but the first season is available to stream on Crunchyroll. The manga, now in its 14th volume at the time of writing, is available in North America from Viz Media.
