The story / characters:
This did not feel like a typical Shounen story, there’s a clear emphasis on character relations where the action takes the backseat for some of the movie. The writers didn’t just shove in character flashbacks on the contrary it almost seemed like characters were popping into existence. Most of the characters don’t have any backstory, giving them a sense of mystery and telling the viewer only what they need to know. The movie really does justice to some of the characters that were skimmed over in the manga making them seem almost real. The story isn’t as simple as fighting demons there is much more going on.
The Art:
It’s MAPPA so of course it’s amazing but I really think this was on another level and I am especially glad the drew out Denji in his chainsaw form. When watching the first season it seemed that most of the time he was a 3D model and it would be fine except that he wouldn’t fit in with the rest of the scene. The action scenes were much crazier, I’m not even sure how they come up with some of the stuff they did.
The Sound:
Honestly watching it in the theater may have helped but the movie had an amazing soundtrack. I can not put into words, but it’s like no movie I’ve seen before.
When I read this arc in the manga I thought it was one of the weaker parts (possible unpopular opinion) but after watching this I want to go back and read it again it was just so good. The opening is a banger as well.
