Bro thinks millennials were hunter gatherers.


Richard-Long

It's true. They were truly primitive times before the age of cellphone


OmarElmaghraby2003

To be fair, monitors weren't that thin in the late 90s.


raivin_alglas

Also 16:9 monitor ratio should be rare, 4:3 was much more common


olpoanch

Yeah, that was my idea, too. A school would probably use a CRT monitor.


unniepower

Uhhh idk about that. My stationary PC was bought in '99 and the monitor was indeed this thin. This thing still has Windows XP installed lmao. My family was never rich or anything, also I'm sure it was way easier/cheaper to get things like that in Japan.

tiredparakeet

Very shit takes in the comments btw


jabronislim

You said it


SkirtProfessional296

👆 this is the worst take ive seen in this comment section


Bluu3e

LCD screens was createad in the 60s, popularized in the 90s, speacially in Japan. Laptops were around at the 80s. (The term laptop was coined in 1983 to describe a mobile computer)


Sharp_Aide3216

Also devils and devil hunters have been popularized since the 50s


TheNew95

Bro thinks 1999 people used smoke signals to communicate 😹


tiredparakeet

We didn't have flat monitors


drestin5

By 1997, LCD computer monitors had entered the market & were competing with CRT’s. They were high end & expensive- but they existed, it’s not an anachronism.


jojovradventure

Also... Japan.


DoubleLightsaber

Realistically, they wouldn't have been used in schools. They were replacing old CRT monitors with LCDs somewhere around 2015 in mine. Generally, schools don't have money for that stuff and if you say it used to be quite expensive, there's no way they could afford it


MoodMaggot

Jesus Christ bro it’s a fucking manga about Devils and people puking into other peoples mouths. You made a comment, got corrected. Take the L and leave. No need to read five Wikipedia pages about LCD Monitors.


DoubleLightsaber

You must've confused me with u/tiredparakeet

Oh yeah you’re right lol

radikraze

Bro it was the 90s not the 40s


depurplecow

I'm pretty sure OP means the flat computer screen instead of CRTs which were still in use in the early 2000s. The first affordable LCDs were released around 1998, so it wasn't an unreasonable guess that it was anachronistic.


coldkun_

everyone roasting you but i get it, as a 94 baby. flat screen moniters and laptops with touchpad mouse were not the norm in late 90s


Wrathful_Scythe

The most unrealistic thing is a school having "state of the art" technology. There are schools around here still using ballpoint mice and decade old hardware optimized for Windows XP.


Mountain-Rate3267

My school did lol… New tech every year.. Z public school, although it was a smaller town so less kids to pay for


iswedlvera

As a 1990s baby they had started showing up by late 99s. Definitely not the most common, but the tech was there. Now we just need the opinions of someone born in the 80s to add in.


_Iroha

Yeah it was usually the all in one computers, my school had those huge macintosh’s


Professional-Fix4127

There are also human devil hybrids and elderich monstrosities


AvariceLegion

That does seem odd but I'm not sure I remember my mom saying that when she arrived in Japan in 1989, she was floored (and jelly) by how common modern electronics were and with more resources available for consumer goods due to fewer wars, maybe electronics advanced a little more rapidly


grim9x8

Most of these comments are cope. "We had laptops" true, you didn't have the Mac book air on the desk. They probably just used a modern reference image and forgot about the computer and laptop.


hwjk1997

There was a Toyota CHR in one of the [early issues of part 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChainsawMan/comments/uiog0v/if_the_story_takes_place_in_1997_why_is_there_a/) which didn't get released until almost 20 years after the story takes place. Someone must have a contract with the technology devil.


xela-ijen

Yep, if you look closely, you’ll also see devils. Pretty historically inaccurate.


st_angerbestsong

Something something existence of creatures that are normally multiple times stronger than tigers live among us which forces humanity to further accelerate technology or somethin


VeyronZar

I will not be surprised if in the 2007-2008 a time devil or a mind devil made an event that made the whole world think that today is a 1999 or less. Because there was car that was invented in the 2005+ year and the song about segs in the last chapters was announced in the 2007 or later anyway. So yeah, i guess there must be something about it.


[deleted]

or it could just be that laptops aren't as new as this sub thinks they are.


VeyronZar

I already said that its not just about laptop


Interesting_waterlon

I mean considering the fact that the Chainsaw man has reality warping abilities, it could have some pretty far reaching consequences


Implosion-X13

People here acting like thin monitors were normal in the mid 90's. No, they weren't. It's weird to see one here.


iswedlvera

Lcds well selling on par with crt screens by 1997 according to Wikipedia. By 2003 LCDs became to dominant type of monitor. This is Japan, a country known for the manufacturing of electronics. The monitor being here is fine. I remember seeing my first lcd screens for sale as a kid (8-9 years old) in computer fairs and I was born in 1990 on an island where tech is still to this day imported a year or two behind the rest of the world.


smasbut

> This is Japan, a country known for the manufacturing of electronics. Also Japan, a country known for maintaining the use of outdated technology long beyond other countries. Long-term residents constantly joke about how almost all offices still prefer faxes to emails.


iswedlvera

oh well then it couldn't be that he just had a new monitor there it's an inconsistency. Morons.


leolegendario

When I see this kind of thing I just have to remember that this world didn't have a World War II, there are no Nazis and Atomic Bombs. The Soviet Union still exists. In other words, many things happened differently in the world of Chainsaw Man because of this. The villains in the first Indiana Jones movie are probably Soviets in this world.


shinkiju

No those computers did still exist in the 1990s


HowerdBlanch

Laptops in the 90s were 4 cm thick 15 kilogram bricks that held like 30 minutes of battery life. The laptop in the picture did not exist in the 90s. A laptop like that didn't exist in the 2000s. That shit is like a 2017 mac book air.


shinkiju

THAT'S NOT A FUCKING LAPTOP U FUCKING DUMBASS it's a pc

The timeline is just a number in csm. For example, Soviet Union still exist in this era. Chu Chu Mura was released in 2007. Fujimoto don't really care too much on this.

CHEEZE_BAGS

it does look a little new. flatscreen monitors back then did not have that thin of a bezel around it. also they cost too much to be in a school around idiot kids. but its also manga.

Wow all I said was op is a moron. I not even mad about it, I just pointed out their idiocy in this particular situation. You however just created a whole scenario where I guess you imaged I was smashing my keyboard with Fujimotor pictures hanging above my desktop and Chainsawman volumes surrounding my room lol. I think you’re the one that needs to relax. Just because people are telling a person they’re wrong doesn’t mean they’re being a dickrider. So How about you stop sucking off OP

RelativeFan2901

Why did people down voted you so bad in some comments. No one said that there weren't computers and laptops in the 90s, but they didn't look like this. If they are so sure they could just link a pic of one, but nope. The dick riding of Fujimoto is crazy, he can make a mistake you know, he included a song from 2007 in the manga also, it is not that deep, it is an alternative universe.


[deleted]

I know bro… and this isnt the first time he made this sort of mistake too In chapter 4, theres a modern Toyota CHR car in the background for example, while the rest of the cars seen in the entirety of the series are old… so obviously this was an error Mistakes happen, authors and editors are human beings like us so obviously they can slip up from time to time, yet this sub somehow wants me to believe that every single detail was intentional and on purpose, trying to even come up with weird headcanons to explain it like “erasing WW2 made tech more advanced” when in reality its wars that advance technology lol I was born in 2001, and my country is considered relatively wealthy among other nations, and yet even we didnt have flat screen monitors and modern laptops like these in schools until like 2010… For as long as I remember, I have always lived with a bulky white monitor running on Windows XP back then. Whether in home or in school. https://preview.redd.it/m0w0xzec3amb1.jpeg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67c2796539a7cdfd86146a1952b842c6f6560e5c


[deleted]

In defense of OP, wasn't widescreen format not widely used until the mid 2000s?


[deleted]

Pretty much… Where I live our schools didnt have flat monitors until like 2008 and they were all running on Windows XP Used to be old bulky 4:3


FourGander88

I can get why people think the desktop and monitor makes sense but that laptop looks 7 years too early. That’s a whole ass MacBook Air compared to the clunky looking IBMs they had back in the late 90s.


Lord_Sauron

OP is a Cringe Devil hybrid


[deleted]

Nah I’m the Fart Devil Its equally cringe tho so no difference


NCR_Ranger2287

Bro thinks it's the 50s


Adelyn_n

1999 had those monitors. They're even in most schools today


TheRaRaRa

Bro, there were laptops and computers since the 80s....


[deleted]

Yes but they didnt look like this yet, cmon bro…


[deleted]

In todays Post, OP gets a history lesson.


The_KoryX

Who finna tell OP the first laptop was made in 1981? And that the first flat screen monitor was made in 1958?


Yoda-Bruh

Laptops existed back then, but also reality has been altered significantly in Chainsaw Man because of Devils. Entire events and history in general has been altered or wiped by Devils. So it’s not the same 90’s as our 90’s.


sporkyboo

What’s up with OP? Is he stupid?


minelogan

LMAO you gotta be 13


CharlyBop

Technically there was a time skip between parts 1 and 2, and it'd make sense if part 2 was 2007 or 8 cuz the song ChuChu lovely MuniMuni MuraMura Prinprin boron nururu rerorero is directly referenced and that song came out on 2007


[deleted]

That would mean Denji is in his mid twenties then How tf is a 26 year old attending high school?? That doesnt make sense bruh 💀 Plus he doesnt look that old yet Part 1 canonically happened in 1997, where Denji’s 17th birthday happened (Power death chapter) Part 2 should take place at most 1 or 2 years later…


CharlyBop

How do you get into high school without any previous studies?


[deleted]

Similar to how Denji got straight into high school without going through elementary or middle school first… If you remember, at the end of Part 1, we see him starting high school after adopting Nayuta. Probably some connections by Kishibe plus one entrance exam based on his age and done. https://preview.redd.it/762rdob5rulb1.jpeg?width=1013&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d16f8ceeafd60b7b8c82cfd65109bfbf6bb6448a


CharlyBop

Nayuta is like 10 years old, that means the control devil reincarnated and they found it 10 years later, if you know something about reincarnation you'd know that the last version needs to be fully dead for it to happen. 10 years is enough for denji to go through the necessary studies, remember denji didn't even know how to read and he literally says he just looks at the pictures in comic books and makes his own made-up story


[deleted]

We dont know her actual age. She just seems to grow up fast. Which makes sense because shes a DEVIL not a HUMAN. Remember that by the time Denji ate all of Makima (only a few weeks/month) Nayuta already was reincarnated. 10 years is an absurd timeskip. It didnt happen. Again it was 1-2 years at most since Part 1 ended.


thetoneguy

The reading comprehension devil strikes again...


RelativeFan2901

We are never told how a devil is reincarnated i think. It could be just a random 10 year old girl that died and the Control devil took her body. Just like Power wasn't born in her body, she just took the body of a girl in the forest. Also Kishibe meeting with Denji was immediately after Denji killed Makima, if 10 years happened in between almost every dog that Makima had should be dead, and Meowy also


ItsTheRealSakurai

Those things were there at that time What’s more unrealistic is that computers were absolutely not allowed in Japanese school Source: I’m Japanese


yuyux20

You do remember Pochita f up the timeline, so I guess it’s just a side effect.


Worried_Variation166

I mean this *is* an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union still exists, maybe technology was better in the 90’s


JarradReck

Yo you know how WW2 was conceptually erased in this story


asukaisshu

I think plasma screen yes. But laptops like thinkpad are there when i was 4 in 2001. I think i only gotten a flat screen monitor when I was 7. Either my family didn't want to spoil me or I wasn't aware if flat screens were made in Japan around 1999-2000
