It’s usually us western anime fans complaining about something and the people in Japan not caring. But this time, the mad and vocal weaboos who are throwing a fit over something, are the great people of Nippon. With hype comes displeasure, and no matter how much hype the Chainsaw Man new trailer brought, it also brought some negative responses. You might be surprised at what got people so upset. It’s not the animation, it’s not how many episodes it’s going to be, it’s not that it’s not going to follow the manga, it’s not about how it’s going to be delayed, nope, it’s about the voice choice for the boss bitch Makima. Listen for yourself. I know we already watched the trailer in my other Chainsaw Man article, but it's so hype, what’s wrong with watching it again.



And here’s what the Japanese fans had to say about Makima’s voice after the trailer was revealed.

I’ll be honest, the high pitch voice for Makima kind of threw me off at first too. But it didn’t mess me up so much that I felt like throwing a fit over it. I thought Japanese anime fans were the ones to usually like these cute, idol sounding voices. I did imagine Makima with a deeper voice, but I feel like the higher pitch voice can work for her character as well. Like, her whole thing is supposed to be controlling and manipulating others. With a cute voice like that, it gives off a really cute character trait of someone who’s innocent and sweet, but actually very devious deep inside.

I bet none of them would say they don't like Makima's voice to her face tho.

Hey, the English dub might give the Japanese people what they want. They change up character voices all the time, I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave Makima a deeper voice in English. So I have no problem with the voice in the overall scheme of things. Maybe that’ll change when the show actually drops. I might start to hate it, I might start to love it, but we’ll see soon. Or I guess meant, we’ll hear soon.

What do you think of Makima’s voice? Do you think Japanese fans are overreacting over Makima’s voice? Do you think Makima's voice should have been deeper? Tell us in the comments.
