If, at the beginning of this calendar year, you had told me that one of my favorite scenes of all media of the year would be a scene wherein a man gets to fondle boobs, I would not have believed you. The track record for “man writes scene in which man gets to fondle boobs” is essentially a cringe-fest—the kind of cringe that makes me and plenty of others grimace when we witness it. Prior to now, if you had told another human that your favorite scene of the year is one which involves breast-fondling, you would have raised many eyebrows.

But Chainsaw Man—the anime of both the season and the year—does nothing if not defy expectations of what “should” and “shouldn’t” work, to miraculous degrees. I wouldn’t say Chainsaw Man‘s boob-touching scene isn’t cringy. But it’s a very different kind of cringy. Let’s not forget the female character involved in this scene is based on Eric Cartman. As a result, it’s one of the funniest scenes I’ve seen in a long time. I love it.
