negative happy chain saw edge

Unfortunately that's an independent title I could never think up without taking several weeks of Engrish and having spent my time stripping the internet of its bustling loneliness. Why didn't I think of it first?
Sometimes I really do wonder why I bother looking up strange Japanese movies, but I remind myself I could just as easily waste my time on American movies. At least with the former I get treated to an explosion of formulated insanity which doesn't even bother touching upon the constraints of budget strain.
Nega-chain, in its compounded form, is adapted from one of Tatsuhiko Takimoto's early novels, specifically the one that shares the same title, which focuses entirely on his little foray into Japanese special effects entertainment. Unfortunately, being a visual learner (Read Japanese? Hell no.) I didn't bother reading it and instead looked toward the new comic serialized in the Japanese magazine Shounen Ace.
At a mere glance, Nega-chain appears to be nothing more than a fanciful eye-candy, if candy came in little brown mounds from the jackal's ass. But contrary to the norm, Nega-chain isn't a read one should judge from its cover... or first few pages. There is actually a deeply profound philosophical piece amidst its formulaic if not plain predictable exterior. Though, I can't guarantee there also being a story; having read so little. There were a few momentary pauses of genius, or at the very least genuine moments of pause, that made me think twice about dismissing Nega-chain entirely. Furthermore, there are bouts of selfish manic rants from the protagonist which infringe closely upon the ideology of modern scums of society, and strays away from the toothpick storyplot to boot, making for its presence to feel strangely alien.
It's hard for me to remain impartial considering Takimoto wrote the groundwork for the 'Welcome to the NHK' comic, which remains one of my favorites. A part of me screams that Nega-chain is keeping true to the ingenuity and awe of his other work, but the remaining remain remains skeptical. Too bad I don't have the patience for this.
