Chainsaw Man

This show is both pretty incredible, and incredibly pretty - not only is MAPPA's workforce of animators full of some of the best in the industry, but the cinematography, music, voice acting, and use colour and storyboard off the charts, making it one of the best looking shows of the year.

The story itself is amazing, although that's to be expected from a work written by Tatsuki Fujimoto - the characters are all highly enjoyable to watch interact and grow, the worldbuilding is always interesting, the comedy is hilarious, the horror aspects are unsettling, the pacing helps to make the show entertaining constantly, the action is intense and bombastically over-the-top in the best way possible, and overall the show is a treat. If there's any show this month that you need to look out for, it's Chainsaw Man.

There are several anime that time and studios haven't been kind to... in the case of MAPPA, "Hell's Paradise," "Yuri on Ice," and "Dorohedoro" have been set aside to take advantage of the fame of JJK or SNK.

With "Chainsaw Man," a middle ground occurs, because while MAPPA gave it a lot of love, its production fell between JJK 0 and Season 2, with the Shibuya Incident (with everything already known) and also the entire end of SNK.

That's why, almost three years after the premiere of Season 1, we're just getting the Reze Arc in movie format, already released in Japan and soon to be released worldwide.

The story of Denji and Pochita (as it was known in Spanish), added to the already classic shonen trio of Power and Aki, plus the immense presence of Makima, among other characters, gives the story a particular shine.

It's visceral, it's raw, it's violent, it's sexy, it has a lot of gore and risqué scenes-that tone that makes us love this anime.

It's superbly animated, the action scenes are epic, there are deaths that matter a lot, and many more will come.

For all this and more, "Chainsaw Man" is a great anime, somewhat mistreated by its studio but one that's going to explode, literally and figuratively, with the upcoming movie... let's hope for more news soon.

This was really good ep, it had amazing animation and amazing storytelling. The voice acting was so good, I have been waiting for so long for this to come out as an anime so when it did, I wasn't disappointed, i was super impressed and so happy that chainsaw man is finally here. If chainsaw man keeps this up it can may be the number one show this year, but there is a lot of competition. Although this episode was amazing it wasn't perfect at any means, the cg wasn't that impressive and I thought they used way to much of CGI and I'm not that big fan of the 3d.im not saying that that it is bad but I'm saying that I was expecting better in the cg, and another think is sometimes in the anime the quality wasn't all that god it was like it was 720 but i had it in 1080 that was strange, I also wished the background was bitterer and cleaner and have better lighting I found that in some shots the lighting was a bit bland but over all I would give the first ep 8,4.

Anyone giving this less than 8-9 stars is unhinged. It's perfection. The animation is top notch. The story is top notch. The voice acting is top notch. I don't think that they could've done anything better. There isn't anything novel left in the world, so of course it's going to be a bit derivative, but this show has taken all the aspects I like of other animes and combined them beautifully. I am looking forward to future episodes. I really enjoyed overlord and berserk, they were my favorite shows up until this point. I am almost certain that this show will become my new favorite. I will update my review if this changes.

After such a long wait and so much hype, it finally hit the screen and man it delivered so hard.

Of course the first episode was far from perfect. It definitely had some flaws from the point of view of storytelling and character building. But, did it entertain? Hell Yeah!

The action was great, the character design was great, the voice actors were awesome, and the animation, breathtaking. MAPPA is on steroids. Though some improvements can be made to the CG work on part of the main character. You'll understand what I mean when you watch it. Besides that, the direction was great. If some note is to be taken from the trailers, then there it a lot to be hyped for in the upcoming episodes.
